She sits by the shoes all day because she thinks her owner will magically sprout from them at any moment.

There is nothing more un-American than thinking this is OK. Untrained but armed masked goons kidnapping anyone they wish, detaining them without access to the outside world or the basics of due process... If you support this, then don't ever dare call yourself a patriot.

It's something of a viral challenge for developers to get the 1990's game DOOM to run on various devices. In addition to the hacked smart cooker mentioned in this article, people have gotten DOOM to run on ATMs, vapes, smart fridges and yes, even digital pregnancy tests....

Is it just me or is this one of those headlines that absolutely didn't need to be written?

It's mind-blowing that there's a theatrical production of a story about a post-apocalyptic theater group keeping American culture alive by re-enacting Simpsons episodes. And now that story is being made into a movie? Wild!

Have you been to the hospital recently for non-flu related reasons? Have you noticed patient overflows and room & staff shortages like I've seen here? It almost feels like COVID times again. If you see people wearing medical masks to protect themselves and others, don't be jerk to them, ok?

What would YOU do if this happened to you?

So, how accurate is Polymarket's predictions? Looks like we'll find out soon enough! #Polymarket #Tariffs

What would YOU do if you saw this thing flying in the air above your house? Could our brains even register the size of this thing?

I've never heard anyone so in tune with me! Every. Damn. Word. This is comedian Greg Warren.

Of all the endeavors I've pursued in my life, I'm especially proud of this little podcast of ours. My podcast partner, Jumelle Brooks, and I have truly created something special. I encourage you to give it a listen for yourself! linktr.ee/bwabits #podcasting #SouthCarolina #SCPol

In my family's tradition, it was totally cool to give groceries as gifts for birthdays or Christmas. And please, no comments on the godawful moustache. That was an experiment never to be repeated again.

I remember reading about #Aptera a couple of years back. So pumped that they've reached this milestone! #SolarEnergy #SolarPower

You know... There are just some things my employer would never be able to compel ME to do...

When Dr. Jermaine Johnson (candidate for SC Governor) talks about making mental health care a top priority in our state, THIS is the problem he is talking about: www.npr.org/sections/sho...

So these two news articles popped up side by side in my Google news feed today. Should I introduce the authors to each other? I think I've made a love connection.

Either I'm having a stroke or my wife is terrible at taking photos of me.

Time for us to brush up on some terminology.

NOT The Onion! === “The body cam software and the AI report writing software picked up on the movie that was playing in the background, which happened to be ‘The Princess and the Frog,'” police sergeant Rick Keel told the broadcaster...

Every once in a while, I'm not paying close attention and I mistake an Onion article for the real thing. This one was the latest and just had to laugh that for a few seconds there, I thought this was for real. 😂

Ace had a good Christmas.

This absolute sweetheart of a woman, my mother-in-law Kathy Carroll, passed away this morning after a long illness. She was the epitome of a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She would send me random texts of kind words and appreciation - a characteristic we all could stand to benefit from.

🍻 Happy New Year!

I am angry at those in power who manipulated the truth, who made COVID vaccination the enemy, who propagated lies about it - and for what? Because they felt like they needed to take a side? thehill.com/policy/healt...

One of my favorite traditions is the Wall of Christmas Spirit made up of cards received from all over the country, from all aspects of my life past and present. From family, friends, acquaintances, business mailing lists... I don't care. I love it & thank every one who took the time to send a card!

I want to meet the software designer who thought "let's give the user slower and more expensive paths as suggestions" was a useful feature.

I predict that skull modification will come back in style in 2026. www.perunorth.com/paracas-nazc...

To my Bluesky friends in Greenwood and beyond. I'm making a personal pitch for change in South Carolina. This past year, I've had the great fortune to get to know Dr. Jermaine Johnson For South Carolina. #SouthCarolina #SCPol #NewSC secure.actblue.com/donate/green...

It's a doggie Christmas too!

All I wanted for Christmas is Van Halen's "1984" and Billy Joel's "An Innocent Man" on cassette.

I will never step foot inside a Home Depot again.

Our 2025 Christmas cards have been sent. If you didn't receive yours, please accept our best Christmas wishes to you and your family this year! Take an extra moment and give the gift of kindness to someone who least expects it. 🎅🤶 🦌☃️🎄🎁❄️

Tough to see in this picture, but in that cage is a little kid in a Grinch costume who was trying (rather unsuccessfully) to throw candy out of his cage. Not sure what message this was trying to send, but it was certainly a sight to behold!

Who among you are being visited by THIS ghost this Christmas?

Finally, a lawsuit coming out of Texas that I can fully support!

Your great-grandchildren may have trash pandas as pets!

They don't mention which messages and gestures specifically are more persuasive, though.

The tagline, "They’d basically talked themselves to death." could apply to ANY company, not just and AI-run one. "...it didn’t take long for the walls to come down as AI agents raced to organize an offsite gathering in his absence — and without his permission." #AI

Back in the 90s, I was in peak form.

I wonder what my fellow architects, educators, and nurses think about this administration's decision.

This was recently gifted to me by a friend. Now I'm finding it impossible to dispose of because someday, I ***might*** just need it for when I dust off my 30-year old computer (which I also still haven't gotten rid of) and pop in those WordPerfect 8 floppies.

The older I get, the more nostalgic I become for my earlier years. I spent way too much time reminiscing on this site. videogamecritic.com/2600.htm

All I want for Christmas is for the cat to leave the damn tree alone!

A podcast episode built by AI off of YOUR personal chat history... What would THAT sound like??? #AI #Podcasting

Um... This lady is hawking this as a "puzzle box" gift perfect for kids. Hasn't she seen the movies??? #Hellraiser

1️⃣ "Five years ago, about 30 incoming freshmen at UC San Diego arrived with math skills below high-school level. Now, according to a recent report from UC San Diego faculty and administrators, that number is more than 900—and most of those students don’t fully meet middle-school math standards."

This young lady looks AMAZING in her first pair of glasses. Let's show her some love!

Well, another first for me in the books! I volunteered to sing at church. And when you get to sing with the amazing Elizabeth Hale Watkins, you simply CAN'T sound bad!
