a big reason that adjunct faculty and contingent university staff don't organize is that we're so isolated from each other. The indignities we suffer in the role are suffered alone and they leave me wanting to just walk away from the profession rather than fight for its future.

firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

We are back with another episode of Punchsport Pagoda, this time Neal, Carl, and Jessica sit down and take a walk down #MMA memory lane to talk about guys and guys we may have forgotten about. www.fightis.land/p/episode-7-...

thinking about ea-nasir

psa all season tires are not winter tires

yesterday i was eating a crepe on the street in paris and a pigeon pooped on me and an old guy sitting on the curb saw it and realized what happened before i did and he slapped his knee and laughed at me frenchily

eatin' through my stockpile of olives

@cecilnyx.bsky.social falls count anywhen

I'm not telling meltzer what I know about jericho's contract

new project. my partner bought this old cabinet which had some damage. it was one of those purchases that brings regret with time. Here are two shots of it without the drawers in it.

When looking for another simpsons meme I made I found this one which I don't think got enough love way back when.

did some wood turning. Shaker pulls with 3/4 inch tenons for my shop drawers, out of brown ash with a nit of epoxy. Finished with blo.

does turkey veloute count as gravy

If the auto industry had done over the last 100 years what computing is doing, we'd all be driving 36-cylinder engines with 1950s fuel efficiency in vehicles that use 75% of their power to haul around boxes of magazines that you're not allowed to remove because someone paid to put ads in the car.

After judo last night, I spent about an hour out in the dark with @weekend-warrior.bsky.social. patrickjohanneson.com/2025/10/02/a... Click through for more photos and a timelapse video.

@techconnectify.bsky.social I was thinkin' about car horns the other day. They're weird. How do they fire and cut off instantly without spinning up or down like impeller horns? Seems like a TC-suitable topic. I'll probably look it up myself eventually, but you might find them interesting too.

it has been a while since i made spaghetti allo scamarro, one of my favorite Neapolitan pasta dishes. My sautee pan has bread crumbs, olive oil, raisins, pumpkin seeds, capers, and kalamata olives. And chiles.

Oh thank goodness. It looks like it actually is possible to disable Gmail/Google Docs' AI nonsense with a non-Workspace account. I'm sick of AI getting crammed into every product in the stupidest ways possible, and Google's one of the worst offenders. Info here: www.zdnet.com/article/how-...

april 2023. Castle and Milton's first meeting

more inappropriate a&w mug use. this one is just 3 apples tall (small apples) and is holding on to the extra tomato sauce from the batch i just froze. Going to put it in grilled zucchini later.

watching wrestling and enjoying vichyssoise in my wrestling mug

Need someone to make a database of finishers so I can keep track of which finishers are under what degree of protection. Eg has anyone kicked out of the cut-throat driver in AEW? When was the last time?

Making vichyssoise again. Mmmm. Homogeneous.

Sorting old books can be wild. I'm now holding a double-bound volume of two works by the Lutheran theologian Sebastian Schmidt that I can't find evidence of elsewhere.

The UFC is a company that really likes to talk up their ideas, and then quietly toss them into a pit never to be spoken of again. Jess ( @legkicktko.bsky.social ) goes over some of the more recent additions to the UFC Graveyard www.fightis.land/p/ufc-gravey...

Hey Firefox users.

Anyone make sense of this to help me to identify this properly old book that has come into my possession? I think it's Slavonic. I'm not even sure who to tag for help. Maybe @bretdevereaux.bsky.social knows someone he can tag.

restaurants are a scam. most restaurants secretly have a kitchen in the back that you’re not allowed to see where they prepare all the food

yet another project. i had this rusty old broken cast iron sewing machine body. was going to make a table and sell it, but i discovered when cleaning it up that the bearings were still good. scoured, repainted matte black, and reassembled: lets try it out!

i finally built my composter. 3 6*6 sections. it's already heating up way better

@kimjustice.bsky.social Hey Kim - I have a friend who is interested in doing a remake/fan sequel of an Amiga game from the old assets, but he needs technical people to help. Is there an online community anywhere that he can find people interested in that kind of project?

got a wifi extender, put linux on an old laptop, and made a box for it so i can have internet in my shop

I made this saxeknife and sheath and someone wanted to see it and this is easier for me than imgur. Brown ash handle.

watching dynamite with foster dog scruffy

remember when google used to be helpful for solving tech problems instead of producing detrimental and misleading information?

foster dog hanging out

Spaghetti nerano. Smallish portion.

nothing to beat the august heat like a nice frosty mug of vichyssoise

back on my shenanigans again

I want Brody King to answer Max Caster's challenge tonight, and for Max Caster to try to open with a body slam and then fall backward and get pinned for 3 under Brody.

If you're someone who buys ads from the ufc, you should know that #1 I mute that shit so I don't hear your ads #2 I often start playing a video game and zone out and don't see your ads #3 I legitimately think less of your company and/or brand for advertising there.
