In Pennsylvania, they got steel. In Kentucky and West Virginia, they got coke. In Indiana and Illinois, they stamped and cast parts. In Michigan, they put it all together; And in Ohio, they put the rubber on the road. Now look at us. Come visit. Look what they did and we still worship them. Why?

Every hometown's got an ominous megastructure, what's yours?

Today, we leave. Tonight, we sleep in a truck. Tomorrow, we journey to what may become the site of our new homestead in the making. To the woods, I say!

Air conditioning in the context of climate change is just moving the angry rabid badger from the kitchen to the bathroom and then kicking it in the tender bits and closing your eyes.

I dig this.

Three cybertrucks!

@ruemorguemag.bsky.social It's my turn to drag things out. I have some of that boring regular day job stuff happening more than usual. It happens from time to time. I'll get the stuff printed eventually.

Just finished up testing new kit for dispersed camping sans trailer. There were successes and failures.

The wilderness is calling me. I'll answer soon. I can't right now, it's calling collect. Side note: If you got that joke, you're old enough to be referenced by saying "if you got that joke" or you have an exciting new hobby that isn't going to win you a lot of social awards--trust me.

The people who have died in this conflict are as memorable to the general public as the people that die in action movies. A bunch of corpses, crumbling buildings, and a burning city behind our bruised but standing hero, affordable gas prices.

I must share this so people can experience the quoted post the way I did.

One of these panels is not like the other. Must be two different styles.

There's a bathroom on the right.

I agree. I'm not saying I'd do anything to disrupt their services if they were in my area. I'm typing it.

Congratulations to Elon musk who is now rich enough to end world hunger over 165 times and still stay a billionaire but choses not to.

Purchased political leverage. Circuitous and obscured by layers of campaign funding, donations, and such. This is political favor in opposition to the will of the voters that was paid for by billionaires. You know, oligarchy shit. Well done, Ohio. Well done.

One of my favorite images in the world. Just thought I'd share for no particular reason at all.

I guess I have to keep saying this: The only risks to humanity AI presents are burning through fossil fuels faster, letting the most irresponsible people on earth have power plants of varying disaster potentials, and making the Tide Pod thing actually happen via Google medical search results.

A California state court judge denied motions by Meta Platforms and Google's YouTube seeking a new trial after a jury found them liable for designing social media platforms that are harmful to young people.

Anyone out there from the northern Michigan area?

It's almost as wide as the pay gap--interesting.

Let's start with the fact the a month ago, I couldn't take a screenshot of this financial app and now I can. That's okay, though, because it allows me to share an even more egregious violation of common sense software business practices: Failure to properly QA test before prod release.

Happy Birthday legendary Howlin' Wolf🐺'71. #bluesmusic #blues

this is what they took from you

I feel like this is being unfair to the Yugo, but yeah.

I'm still here, where I am, but I'm contemplating ways of being elsewhere, where I am not.

Remember 59, 79, 99? I do. It's how I could afford eating most nights in my twenties.

I did a review for a certain camera company. See if you can tell who. youtu.be/OkDb7dmFz4w

I will no longer be answering my phone at all. I've already sort of stopped answering for anyone not in my contacts (like the moment caller ID was a thing, really), but I will not be answering at all because I will not have my phone on me at all times. I will have it because you have to now ... 1/3

I have done to my back the pain and now I walk and turn like Mel Gibson in The Million Dollar Hotel, but I have made a thing and in the end, isn't that the point? No, I'm asking. I have no idea and let me tell you, if it isn't, I've been wasting SO MUCH time.

It's times like these when I step back and really think deeply about value and ingenuity and perseverance and how many people that explosion could've fed.

Again, we've made machines to do repeatable work for us that we often make mistakes doing, and now we've evolved those machines to make mistakes such that you actually have to tell it, "don't make mistakes," and then hope.

Hey, if there are any investors out there, I provide a service that I also subscribe to which is a hugely reliable revenue stream. I also sell me my own widgets at a 175% markup, which is a goldmine. Give me more of your people-who-read-Dale-Carnegie-instead-of-school-books money, please.

*Highly* recommend. I get it.

Much like myself, my dragon used to have more dignity and teeth.

A company sent me a thing and asked me to test it. They sent me stuff they wanted me to go over, so I went over it my, sent them a video, and they were less than amused. So, anyway, I have another video coming out soon.

"Because he'd fuck it up, sir. It told me babies could be baptized in gatorade."

It's not that we're giving it up so much as it is we're failing to prevent it from being taken. They have the money to buy the land, it's up to us to stop acting like they require "fair" treatment when we don't get the same. It's time to tell them no, but with force--the same way they don't take no.

I'd like to go live in the woods now. Anyone with some woods they're not using, just let me know.

I feel like fissile fuel in a reactor, except instead of being bombarded by neutrons, I'm being bombarded by morons and there seems to be no moderator to slow them down.

I finally found definitive evidence of the existence of Sasquelch.

Please share!

Chirp.

No, it doesn't. It may spark debate among idiots, but no experts wasted their time on sasquatch, I promise. Sincerely, Ohio.

It's been a while, so here's another thing half printed with no explanation.

PMs, QA, Directors. If it is a repetitive task, it can be automated. Corporate America is beginning to atrophy as its uselessness seeps through and obliterates the superfluous by way of becoming so fit it starves. Mr. Newton called.

Do you think with Chris Nolan directing I'll be able to see Matt Damon's performance, or will it be more of an audio book with a two-comma fx budget like usual?

Orson Welles is probably one of my top five influences in life. What an incredibly enormous presence he carried.
