throw the ball, hit the ball, catch the ball. that's the name of the game right there

i know that the months leading up to the lexus december to remember sales event are an exciting time for many of you. it used to be for me, but most dealerships won't let me attend services because i named my kid toyotathon. they won't even let me wield the sceptre. i just thought it was a cool name

If you'd like to dip your toes in Mastodon and see what that's like, you can sign up for one of the larger instances, like mastodon.social, and use the app OpenVibe. OpenVibe will let you read your Bsky feed and any Mastodon users you follow, plus it can post to both at the same time openvibe.social

I had to expunge my thoughts on Bluesky's current, uh, choppy waters into a proper blog post (which jay can't take down for being too mean or saying 'lol' in a threatening way) azhdarchid.com/delusions-of...

Thinking tonight about how one upperclassman introduced me to They Might Be Giants, Björk, and the genre of J-pop during my freshman year of high school in the 90’s. It’s hard to overstate how tranformative all of that was for me. Share cool shit, folks.

Few things have had as lasting impact on my brain as those old Pringles ads where the chips are so oily that the guy eating them, who is a loser, wipes his oily hands on his clothes. I continue to live in fear that I will be this loser guy.

While I will continue to maintain a cross-post setup for now, reminder that Mastodon is my “primary” social network presence, and, in my opinion, a better vision for the future of the internet. mastodon.social/@hrprmd

wrote about runbacks and boss fights and my pitch to you is: the runback to the boss fight is also the boss fight. clumsywords.blog/runbacks-lev...

EVERYBODY SHUT UP IMPORTANT CONTENT SOMEBODY RENDERED A GODZILLA/MUTO FIGHT IN BLENDER TO LOOK LIKE A SHOWA ERA GOJI MOVIE www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaXR...

Carrying around my Mamiya Super 23 with a 6x9 back today. #believeinfilm

Excited to read manga and watch baseball in a different time zone.

Obligatory suburbanite visiting a city and wishing he lived there instead of suburbia post, Detroit edition.

@roguesite.bsky.social @rygilliam.bsky.social Congrats on the site launch. Please consider rewriting the headline with DK Bananza spoilers in it. A few of my friends were spoiled by it. I know it's already a couple months old, but the game is pretty long.

Went to my first Beers and Cameras meet up for a Civil War re-enactment. Brought the Ricoh GR IIIx cause it’s too hot in my house for developing. #digitalphotography

My return to office commute gives me a lot of time to finish audiobooks. 9 books done since April, which add up to roughly 131 hours. I've been using it as an opportunity to read fiction, which I don't normally do a lot of. It's been a small thing that's brought me joy.

Checked in on a forum I haven’t been active in since the 2010s. Wild to see so many familiar avatars and usernames still there. Honestly miss the old forum internet style. Probably prefer it to the “be logged into Discord all day” current style.

That dog is the official mascot of my group chat with @bullshit.rodeo and @die-hardman.com. Whenever the Dodgers do something good but we’re still feeling pessimistic, it’s dog time.

found the photo album rough mixes

Just finished watching the Your Friend Logan documentary. It reminded me how much his music had an impact on my friends and I, but also really made me miss the old internet. Finding random artists on MP3 dot com and chatting with them on AIM or LJ. needlejuicerecords.com/products/you...

people keep sharing clips from the ice cube war of the worlds movie and I'm fucking dying

Beat “Donkey Kong Bananza” today. Had fun, but felt frustrated by the repetitive gameplay in the second half. Also started and finished “Dear me, I was…” which was really sweet and moving.

i went back to japan in february for @bullshit.rodeo's 40th birthday, here are a few snaps!

I’m about to walk the wrong direction through a weekend IKEA and I’m very sorry to everyone.

Did you know Kagi will do a best effort to exclude Gen AI from image search if you ask? In Settings, go to Search > AI, and enable "Exclude AI generated images." This is also where you can disable its Auto Quick Answer AI thing.

a lot of times when i'm done wearing a shirt i'll wash it and wear it again a week or two later. sorry if that's gross but it saves tons of money

probably not gonna get any fake bands either

If your primary reason for staying on paid streaming music is discovery playlists, consider college and public radio. You’ll get more interesting, thoughtful curation and find stuff an algorithm could never find for you. Two local ones I listen to: kxlu.com www.kcrw.com/music

you guys wanna see something nice? yarrow on her wheel

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

I got one of these at least.

The JBL Quantum TWS' 2.4ghz USB-C dongle works with the Switch 2's top port while docked. This means low latency wireless audio while gaming (range permitting). Still testing, but also seems like the system can use the earbud mic for audio. Neat! www.jbl.com/gaming-heads...

“There’s a guy named Furphy.”

Not sure how to do this. My partner and light of 19 years, @mitzistarkweather.bsky.social has been diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer. We are hopeful that modern treatment can give her many more years of changing the world. If you’re able, we could use your help. gofund.me/99a35bf2

every two months i gotta text someone with my google voice number i rarely use to keep it alive, so i message @bullshit.rodeo ‘s google voice number

this is how i look reading your posts on line

Why did they name the activity “backpacking”? No consideration for how that makes me feel when I have to search for “backpacking backpacks.” Imagine if I needed to look up “guitaring guitars” or “cameraing cameras.”

THANK YOU MOOKIE BETTS
