This is a Masterpiece

Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here’s a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.

Anyone still on the roads on Boston tonight be VERY on your toes, it is off the rails out there. No signals, lane drifting. I drove as part of my job in Boston for 15+ years, this is a high bar.

This is awesome https://wandering.shop/@ScottEdelman/116947279504134817

Fireworks time #reverebeach

I think that’s three fireworks barges out there #reverebeach

Also while at the beach, figured I’d get pizza and ordered a cheese (for my wife) and a sausage (for myself) at our favorite place (Bianchi’s) This is the sausage pizza I want to be clear, it was delicious…but…what happened here? 😂

So, hanging on Revere beach and I’ve been struck by a fashion question: How come men’s clothing doesn’t seem to do asymmetrical? Like tons of women’s outfits today are asymmetrical in cut but i don’t think I’ve seen a single guys outfit that was. Maybe a DieWorkWear question?

This is a frigging wild video about surveillance pricing

Always a fun time on the beach; fireworks have been moved to Sunday night. https://toot.boston/@knizer/116941630095351780

Props to Wise money transfer. This is brilliant. I was on a call with my daughter and realized I needed to pay a bill to someone, so I brought up Wise and got this warning.

Beginning to think that the Information Security profession needs to start seriously advocating that everyone invest in some form of secure, recoverable password keeping in case of death or disability. (1/3)

Wow, I bet the guy at the greek restaurant where I always order “grilled chicken plate to go, no salad, double fries” is now thinking I’m some kind of visionary.

I maintain building SwiftUI instead of working on a true AppKit/UIKit replacement was a generational mistake — 7 years later we're back where we started, unable to trust SwiftUI to build a platform around, still in need of a modern, more-powerful and dependable UI framework that spans all the […]

I STG I’m considering making a blocklist for people who post “Peanuts”* AI slop (I generally don’t use blocklists, but this one apparently pushes my button) *”Calvin & Hobbes”, “Bloom County” & Miyazaki would also qualify; I haven’t seen any of the first two, but I suppose that’s a matter of time😡

It’s Monday 11am, and I’m already tired of this week.

Wow, I’d actually never read up on Magda Goebbels (married to Joseph Goebbels) - she was a real fukkin’ piece (of work and of shit)

OK… After having stopped playing Overwatch after “Overwatch 2” came out, I’m back trying it again Verdict: It’s still fun! It’s amazing how much people still lose their shit over Hammond LOL Definitely scratching my itch better than Marvel Rivals, which was starting to get on my nerves*

I cannot recommend these stickers enough https://masto.hackers.town/@X00001/115888402678209209

Ohhhhhhh shit! Glad to see Radio Free Society back on the air!!! https://masto.hackers.town/@X00001/116499629037679219

I don't think it's widely enough understood how well utility-scale solar is doing in this country (yes, the wonks know, but I'm thinking more about everyone else). Despite everything, solar is having a great year. My story: insideclimatenews.org/news/0907202...

I am sure that I am far from the first person who woke up this morning, saw the news and said “well, they finally admitted the SOB is dead” and then realized it was Lindsay Graham Even in death, a second-rater.

“First they came for the New York Times and I… fuck I have to say something about this don’t I? Who’s the next one on the poem? Could I maybe wait for that one?”

Also, seriously? I posted this saying it was a video earlier but it was a picture of the Amerigo Vespucci and none of y’all called me on it?😂 https://mastodon.social/@Wraithe/116903347879991441

OK, here’s the longer Video of ARA Libertad as she’s being brought into dock If anyone knows what the song is, I would love to hear, I checked to see if it’s the Argentinian national anthem but I don’t think it is. #sailboston #sailboston2026

And here is Amerigo Vespucci lining up with her tow boats #sailboston #sailboston2026

My battery is down to 5%, so the longer video of Libertad is going to have to wait

A little video of ARA Libertad being brought in by a tug (i have a much better video coming) #sailboston #sailboston2026 https://www.sailboston.com/ships/ara-libertad/

Here’s a picture of ARA Libertad being brought in by tugs to dock #sailboston #sailboston2026

Here’s the BAP Unión from Peru: lotta cheering for this one, guessing we have some folks from Peru. OTOH they are playing some bops on tbe ship as she comes in 😁 https://www.sailboston.com/ships/bap-union/ #sailboston #sailboston2026

Daughter: I heard that #sailboston was scheduled to have The Ship of Theseus, but it got replaced at the last minute

Pretty cool looking sail on the schooner Dennis Sullivan #sailboston #sailboston2026

You know, I didn’t have Francesca Ramsey becoming the “Editorial Weird Al” of our times on my bingo cards, but I’m here for it!

I’d missed this Cyberpunk 2077 5th anniversary “trailer” that came out 5 months ago - pretty nicely done, bit of a gut punch there at end (IYKYK) https://youtu.be/fHrEootHhlc

This whole thread is great, and makes me think of this “Schlock Mercenary” strip

Also, all love to “Total Eclipse Of The Heart” (and that’s a lotta love) But I think my actual fave Bonnie Tyler song is “It’s a Jungle Out There” It’s just a fun 80’s bop https://youtu.be/-WmhHTl3dCU

Thanks to Bonnie Tyler (and Jim Steinman) for helping me be an even more insufferable emo teen in the 80’s RIP, Bonnie Tyler

Saw this post and was like “cool, Bonnie Tyler post” and then got to the end 💔 RIP, Bonnie Tyler

Wow. Apparently some organization restored a P-40N Warhawk, and have video of a P-40 firing its guns probably for the first time in over 70 years - running its .50 cals doing strafing & static fire. This is a “trailer” of sorts, I gather they’ll be releasing a longer video. Beautiful plane […]

Wow, what a shame that they're going out of business. I read the whole post on their site detailing what happened, and I just feel for this. https://www.tomboytoes.com/blogs/news/tomboy-toes-is-closing
