Philosophers working at the Magic 8 Ball Factory have come to understand that the spheres' psychic powers, like our own, are a matter of having a deep spiritual connection with the ether, which will be broken unless you buy more Magic 8 Balls

Age verification?

Uh oh! Arlington is now also outdoing us on the igloo front! We either need to build igloos and quinzees now or get a start on prepping for soil based houses come spring. Missing Mud-dle! Zoning for Ziggurats! All in for Adobe!

I love that as I create a thread of complaints about the state of technology, I immediately get hit with what I assume are porn spammers and other grifters. I'm about to bet that Onion article recommending you get up from your job to take a walk in the woods and never come back.

Technology making sure I'm me: -- Username and password that is easy to hack -- Microsoft app locked in for only MS apps - no alternative - and makes you do your pin like 8 times per login -- Google unless you want an actual Google site then ONLY Youtube so you better install that -- Facebook app 😭

I used to listen to Pearl Jam, I didn't realize it was mandatory to understand what the singer was singing to enjoy it

Breaking: Tragedy at the Winter Olympics

In Long Island this weekend visiting friends and the weather is reminding me of college in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. 13 degrees, feels like -14. I know Alexandria is bad but holy hell this is something.

KNUCKLEHEADS NEVER ANNOUNCED WINNER OF DCIST CUTEST PET CONTEST? - FREDTERP

Opened Facebook for... honestly I forgot what anymore. It was something simple, but when the first thing in my feed was people in a group that allegedly loves Alexandria foaming at the mouth about snow removal, schools, and the "war on cars" (derogatory), my eyes started bleeding.

I really do not like how prescient Snow Crash is becoming.

Take that haters.

This machine yub nubs fascists.

Don’t forget this guy.

Ask him about IPAs!

ICYMI or want to reread... This mattock thread full of wrong answers is gold.

Okay DC. This is how I spent my day. We may not be a state, but we have an official bird - the mighty woodthrush. And fuck the fed imagery - all we need is 3 stars and 2 bars. Here’s my take on the DC Rebel Alliance Symbol.

I left the sound off so I could hear Mario Bros music in my head

Bring Igloos Back To Alexandria!

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Putting this on my Father’s Day list

As long as I can remember (I’m 47), the GOP wanted to axe PBS… PBS had always known what’s up.

Peanut butter cups. Honestly most peanut butter and chocolate.

Had a great time drinking for the children last night at Pork Barrel. Was good to see some ALXSkeets folks in the wild (and good meeting @josephfray.bsky.social in meatspace) as well as a couple other MVCS parents I know.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Ooof, I stopped drinking for the children hours ago but my typos say otherwise.

he always had trouble with anti-virus measures

I’ve been saying this for a bit now and whole I don’t condone political violence… where are the people who self investigated and protested?

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1. Linear Algebra 2. Numerical Computing 3. Computer Ethics 4. Programming Languages 5. Bowling

Share that cancelled show you never stopped thinking about.

ALX Folks (especially Del Ray and adjacent): I haven't seen it here but looks like Pork Barrel is doing a happy hour today from 4-6 with 10% of proceeds going to Mount Vernon Elementary PTA. Gist seemed to be essentially drafts, house wine, etc. all $5 and it's a commiseration for parents.

Literally every D&D party ever

Why does this look like the male population of Del Ray

Seriously thank you @alexandriavagov.bsky.social for doing what you all can on snow cleanup, despite what a lot of social media seems to be saying. In 25 years and never seen this combo in the winter around here. I have seen it when I grew up in Michigan, and the ice did take days to recover from.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Giant in Potomac Yard is fairly well stocked right now in lieu of potential weather tonight. Except cheap white bread. They are only stocking other flavors and moderately priced white bread.

It’s Jan 28th and many residents are wondering what’s next with the city’s snow response. Primary and secondary streets are 100% passable. Residential streets are 50% passable. Crews are working 24/7 and won’t stop until every street is addressed. #alexandriava #icestorm #snowstrom

Someone who is not leading a children’s activity do this but paint FUCK ICE on them.

Home from Columbus after some clever driving and finagling parking. Not leaving again until spring if I can help it.

Staying an extra day in Columbus was the right call because of weather but also as someone who spent half my childhood in Michigan, it’s weird to willingly stay an extra day in Ohio. 😅

oof, i hope they don't kill him off in the first season

Get in loser, we’re retrieving the Four Humours next

I feel this so hard

So Disney deleted their post on Threads asking users to post Disney quotes that show how their feeling - I suspect this is because it didn't quite go as they expected but the internet is forever so, for your delectation and delight...
