First day back and I couldn't help but compile stats. Because rollercoasters are technically trains... 31.43 Miles walked 10.83 Miles of track 2,385 Feet of initial vertical drop 85mph top speed (not including rental car. Allegedly.) @ragesqwirrel.bsky.social @davidstarsky.bsky.social

Today we honor the rich history, culture, and resilience of Indigenous communities—past and present. As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, let’s commit to telling the truth about our history, protecting sacred lands, and fighting for justice that includes everyone. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

When m'lady leaves us unsupervised (she would absolutely join anyway).

I have an ask, as they say: My newsletter is always free on Monday. Please share it with a nerd you know! I love astronomy and space, and I bet you know a lot of folks who do too. My whole point is to get the word out, and you can help immeasurably with that. Thanks!

Shouting into the void here, as usual... BUT cosplay Burton C Bell is a turkey. Low-rent Elvis impersonator... Thought it was lip sync until his voice faded from stealing Burton's songs lmao. Pete Webber never missed a beat on the drums tho. Because he's an actual professional...

Welp, here it is: maybe the funniest thing we've ever done, in its entirety.

Welp. In the interest of discussing idiocy with wifey, this is happening...

My wife's step-kids are being a pain in my ass... it's almost as if they're related to me 🤔🤷🤣 @davidstarsky.bsky.social

I generally prefer PC gaming but there have been a couple of new PS exclusives I wanna play... in the meantime, my travel laptop and old games on Steam will keep me busy.

Goofy horror movies just don't hit the same without the missus here watching and cackling. Damn work. Anybody wanna share a trust fund?

Some of y'all never spent time in the trenches,* and it really shows. *usenet and AOL flame wars of the 90's

I'll bet nobody will ever see this but I'm on my shit about "my wife" lmao. I won't even tag her here. Just enjoying the fact that she exists and we laugh at the thirsty jackasses trying to make moves 🤣

Well, *this* is damned alarming. And note not a mention of school shootings or racial shootings or or or.

Yet again, I'm just recreationally shouting into the proverbial void... BUT! Hear me out... SpaceX is just dumb. Was hoping to see a spectacular fireworks show (lo siento Carribean islands) but they scrubbed for Wx. Boo. I shall forever hold a grudge for them breaking the first satellite I worked on

Nobody will see this but I need to vent... Torchy's Tacos are probably the worst tacos in the entire US. Just unforgivably bad. Go back to Austin with that BS. Those aren't tacos. They're offensive to the concept of tacos...

I tried to relax by playing Death Stranding and building Gunpla... Didn't relax but I DID realize we're headed for a mechanized war and/or cataclysmic event. Damnit.

The "Miller punched Musk" nonsense is getting out of hand. Does Musk need punching? Sure. Does Miller possess any sort of physical ability to hit hard enough to leave a mark? Maybe on a tomato...

I helped my mom and step-dad move in to their house in my 20's. Now I'm helping them move out and downsize in my 40's. Holy shit. Everything they own somehow got heavier. I blame Musk. His dumbass starlink probably broke gravity or some shit. Fuck that guy.

My crappy photo doesn't do it justice... She cleans up real nice after getting dirty from a long day in the canyons yesterday!

Giving voice to the voiceless <3

Ha! V-day defeated! I'm single so I didn't have to buy jewelry or flowers or a card. Just spent $40 going out for tacos and beers with a friend. Now, back to my lame ass regularly scheduled regimented eating... 🤓💪

Mein scheiss hund Fiona ist schon wieder in meinen gaming PC geklettert

I just interrupted my 16 year old playing guitar and he said "how about you come back after you learn the bass line for this song" and I couldn't even argue lol. So now I'm learning more Sepultura on bass 🤷🏽

Fuck. Yes. Warbringer continues to kick ass. I'm going to a punk rock show on Saturday but I can't wait to see these guys on tour in March! youtu.be/R22vrFJmQ4s?...

This is Doug. He may not have a 9-5, but being a full-time cutie patootie is exhausting work. 12/10

I have two large pitbulls. They're worthless as guard dogs because they're too sweet to people. They're great alarm dogs though. They'll bark their brains out at anything moving in the yard. I almost wish they were mean but they're so damn cute I can't judge them... They're just bug snuggle bugs

I hear the Birbs won the game. Looks like Taylor pulled a Jerry Jones and bribed the officials less than the other team. Maybe she'll learn from this. Jerry certainly hasn't.

I'm not watching because the Birbs are division rivals to my team and I'm sick of KC but I check in on here and I'm seeing KC seems to be losing? Yay for Taylor's team losing but also boo for the Birbs winning. Can't the officiating be so bad they both lose? Bad officiating is the NFL's jam.

@invisihole.bsky.social @whatsername2.bsky.social What the actual hell is going on over there on the East coast?? Let them planes fly, damnit!

I can't sleep so this may be offsides but... If you're still paying Spotify and posting links to them, you're part of the problem.

Do y'all remember the olden days when we had this weird document? It used to have some sway over what went down in the USA. Maybe I'm just old...

In light of recent developments...

I keep seeing takes on the phrase "rapid unscheduled disassembly" lately. Some of y'all never had exposure to the trades, engineering, or military and it shows. It is *not* a new term. We've been saying that for decades. For example, we also said it when SpaceX blew up FalconSat-2 in 2006.

Late to the party as usual but I'm finally watching Oppenheimer. I've written numerous papers on the topic but not the man himself. Gonna be pausing and fact checking as I go. This is one of my many references. Holy shit I'm a nerd lol.

Say what y'all will about new Star Wars, MCU, certain Star Trek series, etc. But when you're on bed rest from an injury sustained while totally doing some badass shit, they all become entertaining. Speaking from experience.

I love how in so much SciFi (looking at you Star Wars) people jump in old ships that have been sitting for ages and they just work... I work on old cars and airplanes and they never just work after sitting! I wish real life neglected machines would just work... It would save me a lot of time.

I don't feel old but I did play my first PC games on a Zenith 386SX in the early '90's soooo...

Star Wars casting goofy ass dudes like Hayden Christiansen and Adam Driver is what messed up the franchise. Can't take them seriously as villains whatsoever.

Can we pretend this is a witty post so I get some interaction? I'm bored lol.

Where did my favorite shitposters go on this Saturday night?? Do y'all have social lives or something? Boo

Who is the goon in charge of the volume level for ads?! Every damn streaming service has ads significantly louder than the show or movie... This should be punished post haste!

Ok, xmas is over and people got some expensive presents. But can any of them top my super rare custom Sega DreamCast2? I think not.

Weird how I get instant likes and follows when commenting on other posts but my own posts take days or weeks to be seen, if they ever are at all 🤨

Actual photo of me making Xmas food for the family.

I love my family's secular xmas gatherings. We aren't religious but we're festive AF. I'm at my sister's house and she has not one, but two(!) xmas trees! Fancy.

This perfectly describes a person I know all too well. Bleh.

I must say, "Violent Night" starring John Leguizamo is probably the best xmas movie ever.
