Just picked up the first 3 TPBs of “East of West” from the library. Recommendation from @Manata #comics #comicbooks

Hey there, #hoosiermast . My good buddies and I from the #lafayettein #magic club are putting on a family-friendly #magicshow on Sunday October 19. Location is at MatchBOX Coworking Studio in downtown Lafayette. It is a pay-what-you-want event (even nothing) […]

I was out at a conference since Saturday, but I’m already down to “my inbox doesn’t scroll” level of emails. The laundry situation, though, is an entirely different matter.

I don’t want to jinx it, but New Outlook seems /much/ more responsive after the latest update.

Only about 30 miles away from SoFi Stadium and not able to go watch the #colts because I’m at a conference. Who starts a conference on a Sunday anyway? #nfl

Did you know that on #bisexualvisbilityday it's considered traditional to order a slice of pepperoni and a taco from one of those Pizza Hut / Taco Bell combo places?

Want my old laptop, #hoosiermast? I'm giving away my Lenovo 500w Gen 3 that I've loved a lot but recently shattered the screen. It runs Linux great (I used Debian+Gnome), folds into a tablet mode w/ touchscreen. It's tiny, (like 12x8") and fits into my purse. I honestly loved this thing. But I […]

The AI-generated language that the bots are using for spam account sign-ups is getting pretty good. I mean, it is still obviously bot-speak. But it is much more coherent and composed than before.

TODAY! I'll be joining clients, partners, and press at the statehouse to deliver to the Governor nearly 9000 names (and growing) of Hoosiers who've signed on to oppose Trump's mid-cycle redistricting push. The message: "Hoosiers play by the rules." Won't you join them in opposition? […]

Those days when you have to miss part of a meeting just to find time to pee.

Back to back Long Sunday Walks™️? Don’t mind if I do. Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.

Happy Labor Day weekend, warriors. Be sure to do at least one thing that is just about pure joy while you have the extra time. The fight will still be there when you are done.

The NYT Mini is now behind the paywall?!?!

Brought my lunch into work today and put it in the freezer right next to the exact same thing that I brought in and put in the freezer last week.

Today is the day! We have speeches from lawmakers: including Congressman Andre Carson! Plus a wide variety of pro-democracy Indiana organizations. Be sure to RSVP and we'll see you at the Statehouse at 5:30pm! https://secure.everyaction.com/quOEOZDuA0-c-IZ_ZyCnkw2 #hoosiermast #inlegis

I've gone from 242 pounds in April to 208.6 as of this morning! So, that's 30+ pounds gone. In April, I went to the doctor for my 57th year checkup. I weighed more than I ever had in my life. I also had high blood pressure. So, a few numbers were rolling in […] [Original post on hoosier.social]

Hey #comicbook fans - check out the Icons Unearthed series on Amazon Prime. Multi-part documentaries about the evolution of #marvel and the #mcu, #batman, #spiderman, #starwars, etc. I’m really enjoying them.

I figured my invite would be a little more formal or cool. Budget cuts hitting everyone, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Youngest is all moved in and beginning his college career. We aren’t quite empty nesters, though. Oldest has boomeranged back home for her Masters at IU Indy. Still a pretty big milestone for our family.

Not bragging, but I’ve been crushing some of the “big document that requires a lot of dedicated attention, focus, and effort” stuff on my plate at work. I’m down to just one, and it is the one that I’ve been sandbagging because it is for a project that I really don’t want to do, and with someone […]

I have so many kick ass #comicbooks from last weekend's convention in Lebanon. But work and life is crazy and I'm struggling to find time to read them and display them. True first world nerd problems.

Some time ago, I convinced the fam to start using #apple Reminders for our grocery list. It was great…everyone had access to add & edit, it would auto-categorize, you could view checked-off items and re-add them quickly, etc. But I’ve really been disappointed with how it has fallen apart over […]

Announcement Thread Thanks to some recent Nerd Work, I have enough server resources to share with the community. If you are thinking about moving out of the Google/Apple cloud ecosystem and wanna try an alternative, I can offer you a 100GB account on my family's Nextcloud for free, but only if […]

I just cleaned up my Follows. Some were dead links and were easy. For others, I jumped over to their home server to see posts and if they haven't been active in a year, I dropped 'em. Because they weren't active it won't have much effect on my timeline but I feel so fast, lean, and light.

Kids are 22 and 19. The amount of communication that happens via text, within the same house, is wild to me.

Weather makes such a huge difference in how much I enjoy my Long Sunday Walk™️

Talked my lovely bride into accompanying me to see Fantastic Four. It’s clobberin time! — with Heather Check out the details or leave a comment at: https://app.foursquare.com/share/checkin/6883ef6b892ef74994d0e6a3?s=cguhAye6Hx4FfiVHx2BpUOfxfSM&lang=en

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

Date night! We’re trying the new taco joint that took the place of the old taco joint in the back of a bar.

I found the last 2 mini Twix in the office’s random basket of snacks and you know I snagged those sweet bastards.

My wife tipped me off to a store a few towns away that I’ve never been to. They were having an anniversary sale and I had a ton of fun! #comics #comicbooks

After decades of allowing trans people to update their ID, and with no evidence of any problem -- the BMV is seeking public comment on new rules that would BAN #trans Hoosiers from updating our ID. ID is used daily in all kinds of situations from banking to […] [Original post on hoosier.social]

Dusting off my IT tech hat to give a presentation on personal information security to a group of non-profit employees. It's sad that an important threat actor is ideological persecution by agents of the government. Need a trainer? I'm experienced, personable, and I've worked in public advocacy […]

I just dropped off my mom’s Frankenstein computer. 2nd hard drive I’ve replaced in as many years. I couldn’t, in good conscience, put #windows 10 back on it since it will be EOL in a few months. And there is no way this antique is running 11. So, #linux?!?! With only 6 GB RAM I went with […]

#StartHereSocial Fun Fact #6 It's the #4thOfJuly so let's see which US states have a Mastodon for their area: #Alaska #Arizona #California (3) #Colorado #Delaware #Florida #Georgia #Illinois (2) #Indiana #Maryland #Massachusetts #Michigan (2) #Missouri #New […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Just picked up a bunch of #hoosiersocial bookmarks to hand out at the Canal Days festival in Delphi. Spreading the good word of ad-free, tracking-free, algorithm-free, community-managed social media. https://wabashanderiecanal.org/event/canaldays2025/

I heard people saying that #thelastofus Season2 wasn’t as good as Season 1. That is subjective but either way, this is still must-watch, S Tier storytelling.

Tales from a small town - I took a walk over lunch and the park is flooded with people roping off squares of grass and setting up tents to claim their spot for the 4th of July Parade. More than 24 hours before the parade even rolls through. And not just throwing the tent out and heading home […]

Back at it again

@Pierrette I’m watching a show where the host is taking a food tour through Castelli Romani. For example, porchetta from Ariccia and fragotto from Frascati. It made me think of you. I think this is near the area where you live!

@steamworkgroup @IandPangurBan Hi! My daughter just graduated from DePauw w/ a BA in Classics. She really wants to pursue archeology & tried to get into Arizona but the funding didn’t work out. She is now accepted to IU Indy and pursuing a Masters in Museum Studies in the meantime. All of that […]

Sunday morning #Indiana #juspol#indiana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFl9rhoSWxY

I’m positive that my #applewatch drastically underestimated the energy expenditure while mowing & trimming today!

Brats and dogs over the solo stove on the back patio. Not too bad.

I’m so happy that there is a new season of #somebodyfeedphil

Are "Low T" clinics gender affirming care? I have a feeling that when these places become as ubiquitous as nail salons, people needing more T or E will end up getting whatever they need even if it isn't official allowed.

Spent a good part of my afternoon edging around the driveway and sidewalk. Apparently, it has been a while because the amount of overgrowth was embarrassing. Hat tip to all yall that get out there and do gardening and yard work and landscaping and all of that. It is hard!
