The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering? "No, my friends, you do not fucking bow for anyone.

Happy Boxing Day for those who celebrate boxes.

Our Christmas afternoon dinner and evening with Jillian and Scarlett.

The divorce costs north of $30k in legal fees but then you get a card like this

This has become the modern tradition

specific shoutout to anyone whose family hates them and isn't welcome at holiday events with relatives 🙌 i still love you and i'm cooler than most parents so that's not nothing 💕💕💕

A year ago, Amy and I had breakfast, exchanged small gifts, and resumed packing the house as movers came December 26th to pack us out to Chicago.

How I’m turning up to the BlueSky Christmas party 🎄❣️🌟❣️🎄

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Holidays

The holidays are hard when you're estranged from your family, but it gets easier, and you are not alone. From @sandyernestallen.bsky.social some counter programming for trans people who may be struggling today. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

We ran some last minute errands to a couple grocery stores. Now for a low-key dinner and chill for four days.

Wow, my birth date corresponds just about with peak "Anne-ness".

The IBM mini system case for the @adafruit.com Fruit Jam is complete, 3D printing + circuitry. Drive lights, Big Red power switch, rear ports including IBM joystick port. Not screwed together - I need to try things out then bolting it shut. The VGA monitor is printed & will be next.

We pay hundreds for a week's worth of groceries while Trump buys these and puts his name on them

I feel called out

My last issue of the year is filled with goodness. Back for the January 12th issue.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Older folks tend to have health issues. Includes dry skin in winter. I thought we could be put in a vat, like sheep dip, to keep healthy and supple.

What is it with me and older women? My second older marriage. If I went younger, I guess I'd have to like Pokémon and use 6 7 more. Best to find someone who aligns with you.

Over 30 selfie thread Sixty somethin'

2 years ago we ordered what was billed as sushi for two, but was that two linebackers? @captnamy.bsky.social was beautifully amused.

Today I implemented the drive LEDs and the "big red switch" functionality onto an @adafruit.com perma-proto board to make the wiring inside the mini IBM PC case neater and more modular. It has connectors and LED resistors. This week it gets placed into the case & all closed up, done.

Happy Solstice everyone. It's all more light from here.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? I think all 4 together could kick some butt.

Does a person judge others and then lets them know? Is that in the spirit of the holidays, religion or just being a good person? Something, something casting the first stone... pot calling the kettle black... love thy neighbor as themselves... Can such people reflect and change?

Google Photos routinely pulls up collections of pictures from a while ago wih people I don't want to see. I don't want to use their "exclude pictures before xx date" option as there are some older pictures I like to see.

Trump had his name removed from the Epstein files and put it on the Kennedy Center

I do get a certain satisfaction when @captnamy.bsky.social needs a cable and I'm able to get one for her from my stash.

We watched Last Christmas a few days ago. In the middle it went into an unexpected direction and I found that I connected with someone with a health issue in the past, the denial of said condition (by others in my case) and current alienation from family. It had me in tears.

I was told when I got my first manicures that "Manicures are for kept women" by my ex. Here are two Ukrainian soldiers and one proposed to the other. The woman has a manicure, even while fighting the Russians. That's not "a kept woman". People can do what they want to to themselves.
