People still call my phone. Why the fuck would anyone call my phone, they can text me or send me an email.

aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Requiem For A Dream Inception Apocalypse Now

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Reposting some of my favorite little friends from around the back yard this summer #photography

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

There are few things that will make me angry faster than a process where there are obvious ways to make next steps more efficient and instead no one tells you what the next step is. Anyways, first day back in the office and I don’t have access to the floor my *assigned* desk is on. 🙃

It may feel like the entire world is burning down around us, but at least we still have BIG BOAT STUCK

Even in blue states, abortion clinics are regularly threatened. I know, because while doing clinic defense someone told us they were going to come back with a shotgun, and I spent the last 45 minutes of my shift locked inside the clinic with a bunch of really scared patients.

There is no form of consumption that is inherently feminist, but AI is about as far from it as you can get.

The way they immediately start breaking these little balls of wood down into fairly equal-size twigs that they pack into their tunnels will never not fascinate me.

I was today years old when I realized duvets have little snaps in the corner that you can use to keep the comforter from getting all bunched up inside it, and I’m honestly kind of mad they didn’t like, teach me this in school instead or something.

Making a small charcuterie plate for lunch should be more popular, imo.

This is possibly the most absurd vulnerability I have ever seen, *and I work in vuln management.* Don’t vibe code your build systems folks! It’s not a good idea!

Math can’t suffer (despite my best efforts), so no.

Unrelated to the point of this thread, I would literally spend all day talking to this man about the moonshine stories people tell him.

Tom Clancy’s The House On Pooh Corner

Cats should just be immortal.

Look, I’m at a point of ‘I’ve given up on electoralism entirely’ AND I’m a anarchist. If the election were today, I would not even need to hold my nose to vote for Pritzker. And it’s not *just* that he’s standing up for the rights of all people at a time when many are not. He’s *good* at it.

If I were god, I would simply create human bodies that didn’t randomly get hiccups for no reason.

Not to mention if we kill the computer without also killing the societal incentives to build the computers this way, they will just build something else equally bad and we’ll repeat this whole thing with some other technology.

Holy shit yes. I say this constantly in infosec contexts. Technologists, security practitioners included, have a responsibility to actively prevent misuse of the things they build. Saying ‘well the user shouldn’t do that’ isn’t enough. If they shouldn’t do it, don’t build a product that lets them.

You know you've chosen the people you follow correctly when James Dobson dies and your entire timeline throws a a party

“The number of people he gave AIDS” isn’t hyperbole by the way. He allowed political allies of his to run prison healthcare clinics that took “donated” blood from incarcerated people who were HIV or hepatitis positive, and knowingly sold it to other countries. People were infected and died.

In lieu of pissing or spitting on James Dobson's grave today, you may wish to send funds to Stovey, an incredibly sweet young trans woman who's facing a long and difficult recovery from the direct effects of the sort of horrible "family values" promulgated by Christofascists like him

Many of us are thinking of @stovey.thequeer.house tonight and crossing our fingers for her health. In Bluesky's early days, Stovey spread joy by liking posts at superhuman speed. For the devs, this became a benchmark: anyone exceeding the "Stovey threshold" could safely be assumed to be a bot.

The first thing I thought when I saw this was ‘wait why would you throw a baby at a fed?’

Experimental philosophy

Why do foxes in Denmark look like Master Splinter tho?

Where summer fruits are concerned, nectarines are the best fruit. Blueberries are not the best fruit because they’re not actually a fruit. They are the edible avatars of a kind, loving deity and should be revered as such.

When I discovered that SeaTac has a sensory room with dim lights and a quiet policy, I nearly cried with joy. There’s definitely problems with SeaTac generally, and specifically with it being way over capacity, but knowing my home airport has that available makes me dread travel a lot less.

By this metric, either Hellraiser takes place in the Alien universe, or Alien takes place in the Hellraiser universe. The cenobites would love the xenomorphs, honestly.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch “Once you get troops on the streets, it’s only a matter of time before it goes bad. Some kid throws a stone, next minute there’s houses on fire and people getting killed.”

Sometimes @jake.sooscreek.productions tells you the figs in their back yard are ripe and suddenly dinner plans are a chaos cheese plate.

The national guard in a Black neighborhood is not a distraction, okay? That’s fascism. Yall are waiting for the “big thing” and he’s building it in your face.

If you steal a boat while it’s on land, is that piracy, or theft?

I realize the answer is probably ‘no’ but do dudes not buy tampons for their loved ones who have periods anymore? My dad used to buy me tampons and the reaction from most people was ‘oh that’s sweet, he’s a good dad’ (he is), not ‘oh my god what was a man doing in the tampon aisle!!!’

Born a woman because I inherited a run-down layer farm at birth.

“Billy Shakes, have you ever seen big tiddy goth girls?” The kind of sentence that just happens when you’re hanging out with @jake.sooscreek.productions

Food poisoning is very unpleasant, I do not recommend it.

It’s supposed to rain all day and I can’t possibly explain just how excited I am for this.

There is no world in which I could get along with someone who is actively engaged in right-wing politics because to be engaged in right-wing politics your moral compass must be entirely opposed to mine. That will be visible in anything they talk about, whether we avoid politics or not.

My office.

Apropos of nothing, everyone I know would rather be with a kind, goofy doofus who makes them cackle so hard they pee a bit than a rich person with a six pack and an expensive car instead of a personality. Regardless of gender.

This is somewhat tangential, but every time I watch a superhero movie and entire city blocks get smashed, I think about how many people just died and it rarely ever gets acknowledged. Sure, they might show civilians running, but they don’t matter, they’re there to make the heroes look more brave.

I’m trying to pick between The Expanse, Stranger Things, and Wheel of Time, but I can’t. None of them are my favorite show, but all of them are brilliantly executed, incredible works of art.

Delaney (the shy gerbil) has come out of her shell a lot in the last week or so, but today she let me pet her a bunch without getting startled or running away at all, and now I’m happy crying.

Sausage is just the popping boba of meat.
