Since I moved, one of my PC monitors has been glitching out on occasion. I was worried it was the monitor, but I got another DisplayPort cable from work today (we were basically throwing out excess cables) and now it's fine! It was the cable all along!

Really feel like Online has lost the plot to the Kimmel discourse, by completely glossing over the part where two companies that own a good chunk of the television stations in this country decided they didn't want to air network programming because their respective CEOs didn't like it.

Bought a cool old rotary phone 👀

????

Me rn

Finally off DOCSIS 🤩

At the “just throw it in a box” stage of moving 😩

Moving this weekend! At the new place getting internet installed right now 👀

Why do the Gold Sponsor badges have a tiny pizza slice on them? 🤔

Packing for cons is always a pain, because half the time I'm packing random equipment I might need for production (like a streaming encoder "just in case") and the other half is packing exactly what I need, and feeling like I'm forgetting something because I don't need the extra stuff.

Honey wake up, the new Motorola Solutions invoice design just dropped

It's definitely almost Burning Man. The art cars and flatbed trucks with weird metal shapes were all over the roads today.

I heard there was a con this weekend, but I went to the wrong place 😭

Everyone's saying "get hot by Megaplex" and I'm over here like "that would be cool" while eating most of a frozen pizza.

The earthquake in Russia was detected on the little Raspberry Pi-powered seismograph in our crawlspace. It was detectable for almost three hours!

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

I'm glad the movie is finally coming out but I hope they don't do the voice

simply delusional

Incredibly sad news to wake up to this morning. Spotti was a ball of energy, and all-around amazing person who will be missed in the many communities he was part of. RIP, Spotti.

God gives his cutest fursuits to his sweatiest soldiers

Apartments dot com is like "The Residences at Grunkle Crossings ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.8 (10) reviews" and then every review is "DO NOT LIVE HERE, THE WALLS ARE MADE OF ASBESTOS. THERE IS A NAKED, FEATURELESS MAN WHO LIVES IN MY WALL. MANAGEMENT SPITS IN MY FACE WHEN I TELL THEM ABOUT THE MAN IN MY WALL"

So the thing filming at the DLCC today reminded me that @freezebadger.bsky.social and I walked past something filming downtown during AC back in 2017. A series called "Gone" that NBCUniversal produced, but aired on weird cable channels (WGN America iirc) in the US, so not many people saw it.

The rain held off until after AC and now it’s all pent up apparently

Some sort of production is moving in as Anthrocon moves out!

Well at least one good thing has happened so far on this trip: I have a whole row to myself on the plane.

i am going to be honest, ever year working cons gets way harder. it has literally nothing to do with the amount of work or the kind of work. it's literally just how you're treated. ten thousand armchair quarterbacks just endlessly complaining and name calling.

finally the big celebrity endorsement deal i've been waiting for. I cannot wait to know Mr. Jimmy Beast's top picks for reciprocating saws.

I made a pride flag for people who are into latex but like, oh my god it's such a fucking faff, we just absolutely cannot be fucked with it sometimes. Like, we love it and all but jfc dealing with the dressing and the washing and the fixing and the maintenance. The grey represents burnout.

really seems to be a big week for the convention bad opinion havers

vrchat down, everyone back to second life

VRChat club vibes

unions: they get the job done

YouTube Shorts showed this video to me, and my eyes -immediately- noticed the furry PFP on the discord call on the screen in the back. 😂

Epic Universe has their own version of the Handwich????

Always liked the gas mask aesthetic, but now I neeeeeeed.

The theater down the street from MFF is gonna be craaaaaaaazy

Looking at apartments is the worst experience

This is most Menards thing I’ve ever seen

I had a feeling something broke with the virtual queue’s SMS service, and all the messages coming through at the same time is a pretty good sign that happened.

The Marriott loading dock has a very old sign that shows what the lower levels used to be called, along with all the old names of the restaurants. Along with instructions on how to page “beep” departments.

People always assume I’m on staff at any con I’m at, so I rarely get invited to do anything because people think I’m working. 😭

America Smart. Many people are saying this!

Have you seen my new avatar? It's the Tubu. It's literally the Heebee. It's a Poodee. It's literally the Dippy. You can probably find it on Jinnxy. Dude it's the Gumpy. It's the Pheebo. It's a Poob. You can download a Poob. You can copy the Poob and use it. Wear the Poob right now. Get the Poob.

I binge watched Severance last weekend (I hadn't seen any of it!) and "Render not my creation in miniature." has been living rent free in my head ever since.

Saw someone at work (a visitor) today had a @furality.org pin on their bag. Wanted to say something but I turned away for a second and lost track of them. 😭

New staff positions open now! 🙌 We have vacancies for compensated Audio Designer and Concept Art Illustrator roles! We're also looking for a volunteer Social Media Creative Writer to help write posts like this! ✨ Full list of open positions: team.furality.org 📃

Megaplex didn't really do a great job of reminding people the convention doesn't start until Saturday this year. There were still rooms available Friday-Tuesday 15 minutes after opening when I checked. Just nobody seemed to realize the dates were offset.

Spent three hours disassembling and cleaning one of my Quest 2 controllers to eliminate some bad stick drift. 😩 It does appear to have worked.
