Life and death and all the shit in between is really something. I feel like screaming, but there's not even an echo to hear in this void.

Ya know. It really stinks when you're using a pipe tap to clean the vent hole threads on a 100+ year old cast iron radiator, and despite using tool oil as well as being as gentle as possible, said tap breaks off in the hole. Now I must remove the 200 lbs. radiator and see if I can get the tap out.

The Spanish Inquisition was a Christian enterprise. History shows that "Christian values" (or any values for that matter) are not much of a moral impediment to people that want to do heinous things.

You know it's tremendously demoralizing to be a 51 year old who finds a kernel of funny amidst this accelerating hellscape in which we live only to be told by a younger friend, "yeah, I've seen a bunch of stuff like that" as they shake their head in mild annoyance and with a semblance of pity. 😔

Definitely worth 2:48 of your time. youtube.com/watch?v=WsAP...

Needs a big ol' zerbert if you ask me!

My buddy surreptitiously had me talk to an app. I did not know he was setting me up, but I have to admit, the result is pretty funny. The shitty part? AI will be the end of us.

The beer months are not coming, they're here!! Happy #caturday everyone.

Whenever you think we're in "Late Stage Capitalism" and see things like this, it dawns on you that "Middle Stage Capitalism" has a lot left in the tank.

I have a bad feeling shit is about to get very weird in the next week or so.

Just finished up dinner and put the leftover pasta sauce in the fridge. I know there are others out the like me who get waaay too much pleasure out of picking the exact right size container for leftovers. Tremendously satisfying. That is all I have to say.

Attn: @womensartbluesky.bsky.social I really despise not being exposed to interesting artists because they happen to be women, or the "wrong" race for that matter. www.hauserwirth.com/ursula/26214...

As somebody who has been an academic, educator, and Pennsylvanian for the better part of their life, I'd love to know @seanmcarroll.bsky.social thoughts on WPSU shutting down due to government cuts and lack of will by Penn State. cc: @jenlucpiquant.bsky.social www.centredaily.com/news/local/e...

I'll just leave this fact of history here for people to ponder.

Happy birthday to the rad woman that is Fiona Apple.

I feel like we are crossing the Rubicon into the land of Debordian spectacle Debord himself could barely imagine.

I have the uneasy feeling that the Orange Guy is gonna have a "State Funeral" of sorts for Kirk.

Capitalism has reached the point where its biggest problem is living breathing people. The next 20 years are gonna be a hoot.

Yes. AI sucks. But, and this is a very big but, when used correctly it can be pretty dang good. Hopefully this brings a smile to your face @wendyo.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=93J8...

There is something charming about measuring twice, cutting, double checking, proceed to cut all four pieces, fuck it up, think you know what you've done wrong, realize you have enough trim to re-cut it all, believe you have it figured out, remeasure, redo it all, only to realize you fucked up again.

Today is a lovely, sunny, refreshingly warm day. My partner is coming from an interminable 9 day trip. I have been working inside and out. I was mowing the grass and a tiny leaf kicked up from the verdant turf. Before I realized what was happening a little toad disappeared under the machine. 😥😔
