Thinking about how I still never figured out how to play the 1989 DOS game Rings of Medusa. It always felt like a game I would enjoy if I could ever just not die instantly.

I spent the day sleeping; that worthless, restless sleep that only comes with soul-crushing depression. Everything hurts and nothing brings hope of relief. I hate living this way.

I'm the type of mentally unhealthy that doesn't lead to funny or engaging Internet posts.

The only "AI" worthy of respect is the 1992 sci-fi romcom OVA "Video Girl Ai" staring Megumi Hayashibara. #anime #ai

Trusting economists? In THIS economy?!

Bebe goph alert! A baby gopher tortoise was exploring the yard today! This is not a drill! #gopher #tortoise #gophertortoise #florida

Every single conversation addressing if LLMs can/should be used under various specific conditions plays out like a new novel variant on the Council of Elrond. A thousand little Boromirs each insisting that actually it's fine for their case, even though the technology itself is as evil as […]

Why is the world of Android games such a hellscape? Like, I know the answer is perverse incentives under capitalism, but still... Why can't I find a single game worth playing? Someone recommend me something fun please?

Laying in the bath tub, thinking about how sword canes are explicitly legal to carry in Florida...

Reminder that abolishing ICE, the cops, the military, etc. is not the end goal. It's not the end of the conversation. It's the beginning. We can't begin to talk about what a world of free people looks like with the world's arsenal against our collective head.

It's a big peeve of mine, the phrase "Rest in Power.' Let the dead be dead. Stop trying to place the burdens of the living on them. The Revolution will not be fought by the Skeleton Army.

STRANGE RATIO

He may not have even known it at the time but LLMs are *exactly* what Dr Gene Ray, Cubic and Wisest Human was trying to warn us about. #timecube #cubic

I see myself not as a Software Engineer, but as a temporarily embarrassed Computer Scientist.

My religion is: Laying in a hot bath watching the video for Blackstar and crying.

Why do you think Tolkien's elves had pointy ears? He literally never described them that way. You're confusing them with Vulcans.

Totoro is really good at Beyblades tho

One "fun" aspect of the China-Taiwan Situation™️ is how it lays bare one of the fundamental hypocrisies at the heart of democratic nationalism: that "domestic" and "international" problems are two distinct things that can be handled by completely different sets of laws, governments, people, etc […]

I love primarily following hashtags instead of people on the tootsite.

People always try to gotcha anarchists by asking if we were to abolish the police how we'd deal with crime. This is a dumb question because the obvious answer is that we'd pay John Leguizamo to travel around the land and give that weird glug glug glug high five to everybody who wanted one.

Who are the most famous Floridians, in the eyes of non-Floridians?

It's wild to see and difficult to process the extent to which the US government has descended into comic book bad guy territory; first slowly and then much more quickly. The continuous senses of dread and helplessness it fills me with act as powerful debilitating forces. I struggle continuously […]

What if the afterlife was having to be successively reincarnated as every single zooplankton whose remains went into petroleum burned for your benefit in life

Shonen battle anime about playing Tag send toot

I would love to see a graph of how many songs feature each mode of transit (walking, train, car, plane, ...?) by year.

Randomly timed reminder that Bingo is the name of the farmer, not the dog.

I'm dreaming of a Central Florida White Christmas (Warm and sunny enough for the gopher tortoises to toss a fresh layer of white sand atop their burrows aprons)

Be the sideways boat you want to see in the world.

Bring back rock and roll bass men!

This place is a place of honor... a highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... something valued is here. What is here was neither dangerous nor repulsive to us. This message is a message of encouragement. The danger is not present, in your time, just like in ours.

I got a decent picture of a buddy a met over the weekend.

I left my #adventofcode day 10 part 2 solution running over night and it solved the first 8 lines, so... I can either let it run for another ~6 days and I'll get my solution, or I can go to the effort of figuring out how to correctly implement matrix math shit. Uh... see you next week, gold star?

Just as Mitch did not want to be called a "boating enthusiast", please please never call me a "data practitioner".

Me, reading today's #adventofcode part 2:

Why cephalopods gotta be that way? #adventofcode

Looking at how few people on @unormal 's leaderboard are participating in this year's #adventofcode, it's a bit dismal. Come back, y'all.

All my homies love Dr. Irving Finkel

Yeah that second strike was a war crime, of course. But please don't let that distract you from the fact that the first one was too. It's not actually legal (no less moral) to bomb civilian criminals in other countries; no matter if it's Trump, or Biden, or Obama, or Bush, or anyone else doing it.

Half elected representative, half horse. Senataurs.

Happy last day of hurricane season to all who celebrate.

I sometimes genuinely forget that a lot of folks come to progressive / leftist / otherwise respectable political positions without ever coming into contact with even like a basic history primer for understanding some of the most basic understanding of how things got to where they are, and why […]

Programming language where lines of code are built by Tetris-like blocks; lines executed when completely filled, etc.

Regardless of your feelings re: gun rights, you've gotta admit: the Second Amendment is one of the worst sentences ever written in the history of the English language.

I've been online for far too long. I've seen too much and learned too little from my experiences.

I kinda want to write stuff. Like, not type but actually write, brain to hand to pen to paper. The problem is, just as with writing online, I don't actually have anything I want to say. Like... I'm just a boring dude with an uninspired set of thoughts and beliefs that nobody has any need to care […]

Time to bring back excessive use of the prefix "cyber-": We're no longer posting, we're cyberwriting. I'm not doing remote work, I'm cyberlaboring. I'm not doomscrolling, I'm exhibiting cybermelancholia.

When our sun finally dies, the Voyagers will be the last to know it. Each just drifting alone in the void with theirs, the last remaining copies of Johnny B. Goode ...

Sure, the Dems are right; Cops, military folk, government employees, petty bureaucrats, and so forth... you don't have to follow illegal orders. Let me add to that, though: You don't have to follow legal orders either. Nobody does. You might lose your job. In some cases you may go to prison […]

Ancient Egyptian social media platform: Cartouche Network

The real Trolly Problem is the complete lack of practical public transit options faced by most Americans.
