Can I root against both teams?

I'm sure that win had nothing to do with all the skill, practice, and training. 🙄

"stay back 300 feet" is a terrible name for a snow plow

Ok, time for The Tournament of Roses parade. Gotta love the KTLA telecast carried on the Great American channel - fewer c-breaks, and they actually show the entire parade!

Looks like the London parade broadcast has taken a few pages from the Macy's parade... I.e. stopping to perform a number, cutting away for interviews, and talking over the bands instead of just covering the parade.

Penny wishes you a very happy new year! #dogs #mastodogs #dogsofmastodon #fuck2025

We used to have standards, man!

In a world full of dumpster fires, keep an eye on the loons with flamethrowers.

Shockingly, the last time I headed out for some #ParksOnTheAir was in October. I missed November entirely! So, to compensate, I hit up two parks in two days. The first park was Friday. I packed up, drove out there, and discovered that my preferred spot was […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Good morning! #mastodogs #dogsofmastodon

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are: 1. Getting up in the morning 2. Going to bed at a reasonable time

If the punishment for a crime is a fine, then it's only illegal for those who can't afford the fine.

I survived #whamageddon!

That pharma company must've paid a lot for that jingle. They keep making variations of it for their creepy TV ads.

Argh! #mariahpocalypse got me this afternoon. I'm still in it for #whamageddon, though.

This is pretty amazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L8O... If/when we finally get something like domestic robots, I wonder if companies like Disney will have an outsize role in figuring out how to make their appearance acceptable (something the various humanoid robot companies seem mediocre at)

The British, Canadian and Finnish ice dancing organizations have approved same sex couples for competition. Why? Not enough male skaters.

A very happy Solstice to all my friends who celebrate!

I was reading about an interesting scientific protocol recently, where you can induce "tip-of-the-tongue" (TOT) states in humans. It's remarkably clever. Basically you give people a list of definitions, then ask if they can think of the word. Most of the time they either can or have no clue.

All Hail Santa! #hailsanta

"Get thee behind me Santa" carries a whole different set of connotations in the bear community

Pure slop

"Welcome to <fast food>, will you be using our mobile app today?" FFS, no; stop asking!

The best way to watch the latest Mission: Impossible is to watch something else.

I got tired of Zoom always installing a shortcut on my Windows desktop, so I went rummaging around in their published .reg file and found the following: [Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Zoom\Zoom Meetings\General] DisableCreatingDesktopShortcut REG_DWORD 1 I don't know yet if it […]

If you've been searching for a gender-neutral alternative to "you guys" or "you gals", I present for your consideration: "you lot"

All the jingle ladies (all the jingle ladies) If you like it then you should have put a ding on it...

The fun thing about playing Rock Band is that we're all terrible musicians so nobody has to feel self-conscious.

Argh! #mariahpocalypse got me this afternoon. I'm still in it for #whamageddon, though.

Unsubscribing is not "updating a preference"! ffs

I just realized I didn't do any #ParksOnTheAir for November! Sad... I'll have to compensate by doing two this month! #pota #HAMR #hamradio #amateurradio #amateurfunk #radioamatori

All women should have total reproductive freedom and full access to modern birth control. *Because it’s a fundamental right.* NOT because old men on other continents want them to have fewer children. Even if it became universal now, it would scarcely nudge the curve, due to the factors above. 4/13

Hunted down and murdered a tree today, hauled it home, and mounted the carcass in our living space. Next, we'll adorn it with lights as a warning to the other trees, and humiliate it by dangling trinkets from its limbs.

Menswear? Yep, we sure do!

Dear printer manufacturers, No, I don't want to install an app on my phone nor an app on my computer in order to install your fecking printer. If the printer doesn't work with the OS default drivers, then it is, by definition, "broken."

Leo had a long day yesterday. Those squirrels aren't going to police themselves!
