Just the (tri) tip.

"It would be far preferable if things were better, but they're not, so let's make the most of it. Let's see what fresh fuckwittery the dolts can contrive to torment themselves with this time." Iain M Banks, "The Hydrogen Sonata"

Center: "November 16412, say type." Me: "Oh, I don't know... small build, long dark hair, blue eyes, intelligent, kind..." Center: "412 clearance cancelled. Also, get a life."

"The city had never seemed poorer, but by the gods there was a lot of tax being paid." -Pratchett, "Night Watch" #discworld

Since the US spent decades militarizing the police, I suppose turning the military into domestic law enforcement was inevitable.

Do we even need to say it anymore?

One more bucket list airport checked off. #KSEZ #Sedona #avsky

Today was the first time I've ever been asked to slow to final approach speed while still three miles out. Final in a PA28-180 is 65 knots. Who the hell was ahead of me and significantly slower?

What's it like inside your head?

For fuck's sake, people, it's called Grindr, not GrindEr. #TYFYATTM

TBH as a pilot the most offensive thing about the shitbombing video is that he's not wearing his O2 mask properly. OTOH, when he goes hypoxic at 15,000 feet, I ain't gonna be the one to tell him.

Shamelessly slutty progressive. I'll take it.

Many years ago, I wrote a little thing about the most loathsome scumbag I knew of at the time: Sanford Wallace (fellow net.olds, you'll recognize the name). It involved him, me, a brightly lit room, a wooden chair with a drain underneath, and implements including a power drill. I need to update it.

Good. Now let's see if it sticks.

Pretty much goes without saying, but: Not an immigrant Not LGBTQ Most likely not a liberal

TIL there's an entire Wikipedia article about Pumpkinhead's makeup routine.

A picture is worth 1,000 words.

The YT Al Gore Rhythm hath decreed that I am destined for an early and gruesome demise because I ride motorcycles and fly light aircraft, thus my feed shall be nothing but medics and hospice workers describing the horrors of both. To which I say, fie on you.

Chillin' on a Sunday morning

Y'all. I just made the most unbelievable beef shawarma, tzatziki and saffron rice. The hummus is from Haji Baba and the lavash is from Safeway. Who's coming for supper?

Suppose I shouldn't be surprised that the sort of people who follow a Shakespeare account would all make exactly the same joke in response to [Exit king]. 🏃🐻

Looks like we’ve got some new, uninvited visitors in the neighborhood. You might want to shut the blinds and bolt the door, just to be safe. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Fetterman goes fash while Empty Gee sounds like the grown-up in the room. I humbly request that whomstever is running this sim stop mashing the "Fuck With Them LOL" button plzkthx.

"If you don't 'upgrade' your Windows 10 PC to 11, you won't receive critical security updates!" You know how many times I've been h4x0r3d? 0. You know how many patches have broken my systems? A lot. A WHOLE GODDAMN LOT.

DO YOU WANT SHOGGOTHS BECAUSE THIS IS HOW YOU GET SHOGGOTHS

"No violence, it'll just give him an excuse to declare martial law." My sweet summer children, even if Saturday is all rainbows and lollipops, he's going to lie through his rotten teeth and declare martial law anyway. He doesn't need an excuse.

Wait a tick... who is this Aunt Aoife I keep hearing about?

Y'all are deliberately misunderstanding the clear language of Article II, Section 4. It doesn't say that if the president is impeached, his entire cabinet goes with him. It says that if the president OR any member of his cabinet is impeached, THAT ONE PERSON is removed. TYFYATTM.

Dear Apple: if you could stop fucking with my mp3 tags, that would be awesome. Frex, I don't know what possessed your fucking shitty-ass software to decide that Pretty Lights' remix of "Rainbows and Waterfalls" is actually on The Crow's OMPST. Fuck yourselves sideways with a cactus, Me

The historic parallels are really on the nose. Also, I have to make these.

I was having an emotion, and I hate that.

A character in Clive Barker's "Imajica" briefly ponders the absurdity of having to deal with everyday bullshit like grocery shopping when there's a very real chance of the world ceasing to exist in the next few days. Man, talk about applicability.

🎼 The floof is brown The fuzz is white Together they snuggle All the night🎶

Portland froggy guys, I have a suggestion: acquire top hats and canes, and sing Hello Ma Baby at the ICEholes.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but I just saw animals lined up in pairs.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand: "DNS server is down."

The only band that matters.

Belleh & Beenz will be the name of my new cat café. #caturday

Spending my Friday night once again babysitting the bog-forsaken work backup software that freezes if I ask it to actually back up the fucking servers. What are y'all up to?

He is completely, utterly, indubitably, incontestibly deranged.

NO, Synology, I am not doing your fucking troubleshooting for you. Your systems are slow af out of the box. 30MB/s on a 10Gb circuit is UNACCEPTABLE when my Nutanix nodes on the same circuit run at full throttle all day with nary a hiccup.

This. Is. How. Missiles. WORK. "Nooooo, I didn't kill that guy by strangling him! He died of oxygen deprivation!"

I am the CTO of Antifa (Southwest Region) and you can have my ssh keys when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.
