excellent

i can tell a salt n vinegar chip just by picking it up. it feels different in the hand

born too late to explore the earth born too soon to explore the stars born just in time for beavis and butthead

til my shoelaces come undone because I have been tying them slightly wrong my whole life. double-slip knot solves it completely and looks great with flat laces. how long before i unlearn the muscle memory? thought i was good at knots.

if circumcision rates finally crater in the usa because of a fucking tylenol/autism disinformation campaign i won't know whether to pop champagne or scream and claw my hair out. maybe both.

some reminders - tg has 1 billion users - tg has e2e for 1-on-1 chats, supported on mobile and native mac application - tg security is from Mars and is inscrutable by experts - use telegram for normal freak shit and use Signal for the Activism Zone - none of this matters if your phone is taken

complicated. social *networking* eg BBS, usenet, forums, chat, yes absolutely. i owe most of the life that i have to it. i know people whose lives it saved. social *media* kind of, because that's where friends with no time hang. nobody has time anymore. but mostly consumption, rarely great.

imagine the chaos if nerds gummy clusters and nickelodeon floam existed at the same time

potatoed so hard this weekend, all i did was sleep and watch slow horses and look at winamp skins. so needed

As someone who has an extensive background and career not just in spaceflight, but extremely specifically an extensive background and career in the actual operations, post-retirement, and current upkeep of the Space Shuttles, allow us to begin our thread about moving Discovery by saying…hey Texas:

boomer coded nonsense park a giant truck like shit, then just as i am leaving open the doors start the engine and then stand around blocking the lot for 10 minutes. other cars pulling up and stopping and people getting out what the fuck man lmao just let me leave

If I have questions about "mundane" works, I definitely have questions about the actual enforcement and policies around specifically adult works. That's why responding to #bskycensorship matters.

Let's talk #bskycensorship. Here's some snippets from the new TOS. Short version: They made the language more clear and specific (did they?), some adult & violent content is allowed, and there are exceptions for journalism, education, advocacy, and "analysis". But what does that actually mean?

pop culture is just furry culture 5 years later with the contrast knob turned down

Got ShaqBot to brag it could eat half of Scottie Pippen in a single day. Clockin' out of the internet, boss

So what if warp travel involved chasing a receding event horizon from the perspective of the traveler? Cool thought that might make it into the game... something I threw together which I think is neat here. ^^ #warp #indiegame #indiedev #transience

yo was that smelling salts just now on seattle? wtf

They arrived. oh no. OH NO.

People have been asking me when my next music project will come out. Well... Writing novels kinda consumes much of my time, BUT I haven't given up! There will be new stuff arriving once I can shift focus back to music. Please be patient. In the meantime... forall.bandcamp.com

I love being lectured on consent by tech companies who use the "Yes / Maybe later" dark pattern

ok. can of 44K in the tank and around 50 miles running the engine whenever a long enough highway leg appeared seems to have helped. and found a place that does induction svc, but tempted to source dealer tools if this is gonna be a regular thing

wow these clowns didn't listen to people at all.

Jerry from Ben & Jerry's has resigned after 47 years after Unilever silenced their politcal activism.

modern windows would be completely insufferable without powershell

Remember, they hate trans joy, they hate gay joy, they hate Black joy, they hate Native joy, etc. they hate when we can laugh and love and live our lives in our own skin. They hate that we can find our way without their rigid rules. To find joy and thrive is a great act of resistance too.

Oh hey it’s exactly the thing I fucking told you about and people said “you’re being alarmist” and its happening now

direct injection fucking sucks. this car needs an induction service ($$) every 30,000 or so miles and starts going downhill after 10k
