People with no grasp of how technology works should not be allowed to write legislation about it. This is the second "Well that's impossible" regulation I've heard about in the past year. The first being age-verification at the OS level.

Super glad Bluesky put resources towards a fucking AI bot that nobody asked for instead of investing in their infrastructure. Can't wait for this fucking AI bubble to pop already.

To whom it may concern, If you want help from your IT people, give them details. "It doesn't work" is not a sufficient starting point. Nobody should have to torture details out of you. I know you don't go to doctors and just say "sick! Fix!" Give us SOMETHING to work with.

On Ep10 of @trangirlismo.bsky.social, Jordan mentioned "It's like Serena Williams hanging out at the local court." When Trackhouse Motorplex first opened, a friend wanted to do the adult Tuesday night league. His kart wasn't ready by first week, so he just went to spectate. 1/3

Gonna claim the Gen Alpha slang for an older generation. I'm currently cozy-maxxing playing "Bookshop Simulator" with a cat on a blankie on my lap. I'm catmogging you all. #cat #cozy

More on the Netgear lobbying. Pretty much guarantees I'll never recommend Netgear to anyone (because let's be honest, I was never going to buy their stuff anyway)

Any calls for boycotting Netgear yet? Because it appears the router ban was just their lobbying efforts, and now they're advertising that they're the first to be approved. www.theregister.com/2026/03/30/p...

Yeah I've pretty much realized I'm forever going to be playing "cozy games" like Schedule 1 or Supermarket Simulator with their "simple" graphics forever.

I think he may have an even dimmer view of Tesla and Tesla owners than I do! Didn't know that was possible!

Listening to old Incubus stuff. The line "Are you gonna wait around till 2012AD" just hits.... like..... nah Just like "party like it's 1999"... don't mention dates in your songs. You're just gonna make people feel old someday.

Sometimes when I have a bad week, I "get into my sadboi shit" (to quote my partner) and listen to a lot of old industrial music. Here's your reminder that God Lives Underwater is a CRIMINALLY underrated band, and you should check out their stuff. RIP David

I think this is the first time I've seen a "major and reputable" news source calling Trump out on his "TACO" activities. More need to call it out!

A few years ago I played Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown in Open Beta. It was SHIT. I hadn't thought about it again until today when it was mentioned on on @trangirlismo.bsky.social . Apparently NOBODY has thought about it in that time. PEAK of less than 4k. WOW!

Alright I replaced the broken wheels with Enkei's TE37 clones and I am in love with the 17" fitment on a GTI. We need wheels with sidewall back!!!

I want to make a parody of The Big Lebowski.... THE STIG LEBOWSKI Who's in?

Please enjoy this cute car snuggled up on my lap in a blankie.

For the #AssettoCorsa and #SimRacing crowd... a buddy released a MASTERPIECE for this most serious of all days....

In less depressing news, this nice little Starling supervised while I took photos of that wheel. At least I THINK it's a Starling.

Car rant: roads in this country fucking suck. Bring back SIDEWALL on tires. I've now broken/bent 7 wheels in as many years from this shit. Ditching the 18s on my GTI and going back to 17s for hopefully a BIT more protection from NC/SC potholes.

Hi everyone that was visible today, I hope you're visible everyday. I love you all! #transdayofvisibility

I tried to send something on FB to a friend. I typed her whole name. When it was 2 letters short, she showed up. When I typed her whole name, I got nothing but "public figure" pages. Why is everything on the internet less functional than it was 10 years ago?

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Fuck JKR, fuck HP, and fuck THIS nonsense. Adults are allowed to enjoy "childish" media too. Thumbing your nose at people and referring to their preferences as childish is a REAL hot take coming from someone who is a cartoonist.

I've stopped following several computer related subreddits because they're all "Look at my vibe coded project" r/motorsports and r/formula1 are suffering from that shit now too. AI has enabled every "I have an idea for the next killer website, bro" asshole from the early 2000s to try. That's bad!

Oh that sounds fun... "zero click" securityonline.info/telegram-cri...

Car pet peeve #158034 We need sidewall back. I'm so tired of big wheels and low profile tires on everything. I've just cracked my 3rd wheel in the past 6 years (bent 2 others in that time). Roads suck. Give us sidewall.

This is, beyond any shadow of a doubt, THE biggest problem with legislation. Look at things like the "age verification" being mandated in OSes. When politicians don't understand a technology they're meant to legislate on, we all get fucked by it. DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS!

I've just realized that the thing that will TRULY make you feel old is having to explain WTF a "Rolodex" is to a 20-something. I've had to explain CDs, Cassettes, 8 tracks, and floppy disks before. Didn't know I was gonna have to explain a Rolodex one day.

Listened to @trangirlismo.bsky.social Ep4 today. They talked about Waymo and it reminded me that Waymo is coming to Charlotte. NO clue how anything automated will be able to navigate in the highways with basically zero visible lane markers.

If @steampowered.com doesn't punish the Crimson Desert devs for lying on the AI disclosure, then having an AI disclosure is fucking pointless. Letting devs constantly go "oopsie dooldle we'll fix it" means you're just lying to us and breaking our trust.

I'm fully convinced the "auto stop" feature on cars doesn't save gas because Americans don't know how to drive. While stopped at a red light for 30 seconds, I heard the Jeep beside me stop and start 4 times. It takes more fuel to re-fire the engine than for it to have idled those 2 seconds.

I just discovered the @trangirlismo.bsky.social podcast this morning and I am already HOOKED! Now I'm just thinking.... I would kill for a crossover episode with @harleylaroux.bsky.social who I have to assume is a car nerd based on Losers. This is the car nerd shit I've been lacking!

Wow... turns out @theonion.com are litigious fucks www.reddit.com/r/Charlotte/...

Wondering how all the stupid motherfuckers that voted for Trump because they were convinced Kamala was going to start a war are feeling this morning. Y'all get what you voted for?

Annoyed that it had JUST renewed yesterday, but at least I can send a message along with all the other people cancelling today! You want to treat everyone like kids? You know what kids don't have? Credit cards. So you can't have mine. @discord.com

Oh my god, so many people are canceling Nitro that it's having issues processing it, cook 'em hard bois.

Dead @discord.com, Fuck you!! discord.com/press-releas...

When you're seeing the most snow you've ever seen in your life AND you have warm Ren Faire garb you don't get to use too often .. what do you do?

Congrats to the pace car driver for leading the most laps at the Rolex 24. Sorry you had to do such a long stint. I expected a 1-2 hour "fog caution" starting about 4 am, but we're already nearly 4 hours into this one with no end in sight. It's not even 4am yet! #rolex24

Shit sucks right now, and this winter storm is worrying the hell out of me. But sometimes, a little touch of nostalgia helps. You're welcome.... xl.weatherstar.dev

Picked up a new hobby this weekend that involves me accidentally hitting myself with a bullwhip many times. I make bad decisions

Bought a bullwhip while wearing my Night Court Lucien cosplay today. Wonder if we can convince SJM to make "bullwhip Lucien" canon? #acotar #booksky

It's been probably a decade since I watched a hockey game but... #booksky knows why I'm watching the #boyaquarium now I think.

For anyone in #booktok or #booksky land that needs a new source of smut because you finished all the others, I just learned that James Joyce (Finnegan's Wake and Ulysses) wrote UNHINGED letters to his wife that were published. You're welcome and/or I'm sorry.

Closer.... but still not there. No GenAI in the game, but they will use it in other games as long as they own the data. Slop that you own is still slop, and I'm not paying for slop

Shit has sucked lately. Here's a warm and fuzzy throwback to "the good ol' days" www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMcp...

Been a tough news day. I'm so exhausted from looking at the news. Here's a thing that always cheers me up, though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7im...

Same reason we always attack places....

I have a musical theory, If you ever go to a metal concert, and all the members of the band have long hair and tattoos, but the drummer looks like an accountant.. They probably are, and as a result, they can count past 4 and are about to make that your fucking problem. Who wants some 21/13?
