Shout out to medical portals that require SMS 2 factor on every login but don't support any other 2 factor method. Really keeping things locked down there buddy.

When changing the rear wheel disc brake pads on the Radwagon 4, it is much easier to just remove the caliper than it is to remove all the crap that is in the way of accessing the caliper. Learn from my experience, and save yourself a lot of hassle.

Local interest mystery - why are there a bunch of dead rats on the Cultural Trail connector on 10th St under the Interstate? They keep appearing, like 20-30 of them, and then slowly disappearing before a new batch appears. Both sides, north and south. @indystar.bsky.social @mirrorindy.org

Trantifa has got to be the coolest name for a movement, ever. It is very rare that a sequel tops the original, but as cool as ANTIFA is and was, TRANTIFA is twice as cool.

Good time to be an accelerationist I suppose, but a bad time for everyone.

A used bookstore with 800,000 books in Lawrence?? Omg, how did I not know about this?? Once again local media making my life better!

Day drinking (gatorade) in the hammock and taking pictures of dogs that walk by.

Fuck I'm at a conference up front and I just started crying reading this comic. Fuck.

Who knew that trying smoking in high school would pay off with now being eligible for the covid vaccine? Fuck RFK Jr and fuck all the people who are standing between my children and the covid vaccine.

Local investigative journalism is so critical and so powerful. Thank you to journalist Peter Blanchard, outlet Mirror Indy and funder/founder Free Press Indiana.

🧵I've been thinking today about all the efforts made, just in my lifetime, to change social conventions around sexual assault—not END it, no one thought we might actually END it, just: how to fucking FRAME it—and how the general consensus is that those efforts largely failed.

Sports are the pry bar that they used to break trans women away from cis women, red flag laws will be the pry bar they use to classify us as mentally ill. Once we are classified as mentally ill, RFK Jr. will be free to round us up into work camps for agribusiness.

Cis people: This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand. And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

Transmen have it so good - they go from paying $150 for a haircut to $20 + 5 tip, and it probably includes a cold beer. The sticker shock of going the other direction is still just blowing my mind.

My kiddo causally dropped in conversation this morning that eels migrate to the Bermuda Triangle to breed. She challenged my casual dismissal and holy fucking shit they do! Like eels that live in LANDLOCKED FRESHWATER IN EUROPE CROSS DRY LAND to get to the ocean and swim thousands of miles. WTF!!!!

This really encapsulates how the City-County Council and Mayor's office are focused on protecting themselves and their allies first and foremost. The well-being of survivors has always been a secondary concern at best. How long will we tolerate these assholes?

I'm writing a tool to automatically extract specific data from PDFs and like all such projects, I got 90% of the way there with a shell script of less than 10 lines and 30 minutes. Getting to 99% is requiring an order of magnitude more code and re-writing in Python and several hours.

hey guys check this out A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO FEMINIZING HRT (15.9k words) pghrt.diy

Thinking about getting really into making my own vegan jerky.

I need to create a rescue USB to re-install Windows on a new used Thinkpad for work using a proprietary tool. The tool to create the USB is a signed EXE that I can't get to work with Wine, so I'm installing a whole g-d damn Windows 10 image with VirtualBox, so I can run single tool for 5 minutes.

Bella Ciao gives me goosebumps every single time. And makes me cry every second time.

Completely missed this one And this is NOT any of the women that have already been in the news about sex abuse in the Hogsett administration 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️ This is discrimination and abuse www.wfyi.org/news/article...

I would say pour one out for the IndyGo bus I was tracking this morning on Keystone, following the trail/flood of anti-freeze it was leaving behind, but I think there has been enough pouring out for the morning.

It is amazing that Quickbooks Online is just as laggy and slow in 2025 as it was in 2010. The biggest difference now is all the dark patterns to hook you into the Intuit ecosystem. Using it makes my heart yearn for a native desktop app like GnuCash.

My most popular opinion is that when you reset your password somewhere, you should end the process already logged in. Making you log in after you just verified your identity enough to change the password is dumb, and I resent the implication that I already forgot the new password. also i forgot it.

NPR still doing their news quiz shows while the news just gets worse and worse. "What is the U.S. destroying $9.7 million of?", "What killed 500 Palestinians in Gaza?" At what point are they going to give up on this?

The Dead Kennedys were one of my favorite bands in the 90s and somehow it never occurred to me that there might be videos of them. I don't think I even ever saw a picture of the band until years later. We were too in the sticks to get any music magazines and the Internet didn't have pictures yet.

I love how Google just occasionally decides that the account I want to open a google sheet with is my 10 year olds. When I've been using my work account for the past 8 hours. I guess I need to look into using a separate browser environment for work...

Lauren Roberts is raising money for the immediate needs of another survivor. Please donate if you can - this is one way we can support survivors, when our party and systems will not.

Inspired by fucklapd.com, which allows users to use facial ID to identify officers attempting to conceal their identity, I submitted an open records request to try and get headshots of IMPD officers. IMPD refused, saying they don't have photos as part of the personal file. I'm not quitting here.

I wonder if Indiana's state-wide purge of "DEI" would affect the criteria the BMV uses to evaluate vanity plates for offensiveness. Free story idea for any journos.

We're rallying in response to the U.S. v. Skrmetti decision allowing state bans on gender-affirming care for trans youth.

Imagine having a mayor who did literally anything to protect those most vulnerable to the armed goons roaming our communities. Now more than ever we need leaders who are active and who stand up for vulnerable people. And maybe even pressure our Democratic Sheriff into stopping housing ICE detainees.

I re-posted this earlier but it has really stuck with me. Thank you Laurin Embry for your bravery and sacrifice in speaking up. The Council and the Democratic Caucus has shown us how they will abuse survivors to protect their fiefdom. Standing up to power takes courage. Fuck all these abusers.

"I don't think I'll ever have peace or justice…I'm not even asking for the party to hold him accountable because obviously that is just too much to ask of our elected officials….” Shame on: councilman Keith Graves, the Indy Council & Indy dems for ignoring abuse. www.indystar.com/story/news/p...

You’re in her dms, we’re funding her abortion. We are not the same.

🚨 RALLY for TRANS YOUTH Sat, July 12 · 12–2pm ET · Indiana Statehouse. SCOTUS opened the door to bans on gender-affirming care—we’re responding with action. Show up to defend trans youth, demand protections, and stand in fierce solidarity. Sign up to join us below! #HoosierActivism #TransRights

It doesn't mean anything but it is kind of weird that my family cell phone bill is $88.14 each month. Is Google trying to tell me something?

The Indianapolis city county council is going to spend more time congratulating the Pacers than they did in dealing with sexual harassment and abuse.

@williamhazen.bsky.social trying to have a presence on social media about anything except mass transit.

She has now recanted her calls for resignation and apologized. Wow. Still in the caucus, with a diminished role on the council.

I'm getting so g-damn good at disassembling and re-assembling my front loading washer. Note that this is a distinct skill, separate from being able to actually fix my front loading washer. But nonetheless, I'm really good at it now! I hope to learn to actually fix it sometime next year.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

Just thinking about the flex posts "protecting" entries to the new bike lanes on Michigan and New York and dreaming of Indy having a Mayor and a DPW worth a damn.

Holy shit, they are vicious. The only question I have is how long will the other caucus members fall in line.
