love to open up a bluray case for the first time in a year and see there's some sort of new gunk forming

i do think, with everything flying around, that a lot of people don't seem to realize that this terrible deal doesnt reopen the government, the senate needs to vote again and so does the house, trump is still fighting to not pay out SNAP because nothing has actually changed yet

lol

i can't even make glib jokes about the democrats, im tapped out

I'm not even angry, I have expended all my anger, it's depleted

this is absolutely it. all the suffering and pain and they fold without a single concession? less than worthless, it means the shutdown will be hung around their necks

so like did a democrat senator have their flight get canceled or something

We’re on the right track! Make sure you track your ballot to confirm it is accepted, NOT challenged. Check our links in bio to do so! More votes will be counted on Monday!

BOOM. Wilson closes the gap, with many more ballots left. This is a tremendous result for her. She trails Harrell by just 1.9% and 4,300 votes. There are many more ballots remaining than at this point in the primary count.

the main problem i have with frankenstein is that it is 2 hours and 30 minutes??? the ideal movie length is 90 minutes, why have we lost our way

i don't think when trump says that if they get rid of the filibuster that they will never lose an election again is because it will let them steal every election i think it means he's a dumb idiot who doesn't know what the filibuster is and he's just lying off the cuff like always

Post you from a different era.

okay i know im very late here, but after much careful analysis i am confident in my conclusion that "what it sounds like" is better than "golden"

i'm watching this review of the enterprise lego kit and i completely flipped out when i saw the inside of the nacelle, building the inside of engines has become my favorite part of lego builds these days youtu.be/VlhO3UZHNAs?...

I think what really needs to happen re: The Game Awards is we all need to boycott it. it goes beyond Future Class; the game awards exist to push marketing at people. it's not a real award show and it's not produced by people who care about gamedevs at all. we're just props.

What

iirc there's a passage where Rorschach explicitly claims that it is not a Chinese Room even though it very clearly is and I've been thinking about that a lot recently

🚨 In the latest tally, Katie Wilson has gained vote share in the Seattle mayoral race. Today's batch broke 51.63% for Wilson and 48.11% for Bruce Harrell. Harrell still leads with 52.64% of the vote while Wilson still trails with 46.93% of the vote.

the real tantalizing promise of lego having the star trek license... lego control panels with actual lcars

gotta get away from that miasma

design wise, I think the deflector is a little wonky but my only real gripe with the Lego Ent-D is that the saucer doesn't have a bridge set inside it

the swap space on my proxmox node was all used even though it had free ram and I wasnt sure if this was actually bad but the bar was red so I doubled the swap and now the bar is blue so I think it looks nicer at least

after some deliberation we have decided to add "soda pop" to our playlist of Disney villain songs

I spend a lot of time thinking about (and when employed, working on) various performance related things. Seeing as I am *not* employed right now, I have nowhere for these thoughts to go so here's a thread on "how to" from my perspective.

Attention Bluesky! Show me the X-Men!

I saw a thing on here the other day about how people treat all genAI like it's wrong when it's right sometimes... the problem is genAI is not selecting for right vs wrongness, it is selecting for "looks like a sentence." the content of that sentence is incidental.

honestly one of the most discouraging things about the seattle mayor election is that nyc had a record breaking turnout and we had a lower than average turnout c'mon people

gonna be a real nail biter

watched this video about the paramount film archives and all i could think of was how the original 35mm for ds9 and voyager are in there somewhere... just waiting to be scanned....... www.youtube.com/watch?v=5otw...

reaffirming to myself publicly, the seattle mayor election is far from over and we do not have any clear indication who won! it's not even like a fringe chance of a wilson win, it's a for real chance!

Here's a look at the raw numbers in the Seattle mayoral contest, with 2021 for scale. Harrell has lost a lot of ground from his 2021 win. Wilson gained 17,221 votes more than Harrell between the primary and general. That would be more than enough to eliminate the 8,319 vote gap here.

feeling pretty bummed in Seattle we don't get to have the same moment as the rest of the country right now... gonna be a long week of vote counting

Last primary election night, Wilson had 46 percent; she ended up with 51 points to Harrell's 41. She can still close the gap.

In early results, Katie Wilson trails incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell by 7 points, which would put her within reach of catching him in late returns. This is going to be a nailbiter.

Seattle no why

waiting for that ~8pm king county drop, please Seattle don't ruin this momentum

is this........... hope?

lol

idk about this one

Pumpkins are OUT, turkeys are IN!

thinking about the one that got away.............. miss u

maybe this is baseless optimism but seeing all the fascists worked up about the results of a local election makes me feel like we are not completely cooked yet

A movie you've seen more than seven times with a gif.

why was worf the only one who never got to sit down

finally watched kpop demon hunters with the kiddo and is it a hot take to say that they flubbed the ending??? otherwise yeah I get it now

I am unable to stop myself from being a "well actually" guy: all the Starfleet main cast members of DS9 were actually on the side of "the government is allowed to kick people out of their homes if they live on the wrong side of a border laid out in a treaty"

i dont know what any of y'all are talking about so i'm just assuming its this

sometimes I think about how in ye olde twitter days those of us in the minority who don't like sports made jokes like "sportsball" as a coping mechanism and the people who did like sports, an extremely popular pass time, acted like they were the ones being bullied or something
