[Small ramble on U.S. politics] We’ve given Spineless Schumer and the Dem leadership far too many chances. They don’t fight for the people; they’ve never fought for the people. They lose their biggest fights on purpose—just so they can still have something to rally against later and win votes […]

If I could turn back time, I’d come up with a slogan so bad that X.25 would have certainly won the Protocol Wars: I PEE YOU PEE WE ALL PEE FOR I.P. #retrocomputing #x25 #tech

Strange request: does anyone know of any PNGTuber software that can track whole-head movements? For example, if my head is tilted down, I’d want to show a whole separate set of images compared to when it’s facing the camera. I’ve found software that does facial expression recognition, but that’s […]

Turns out the semi-stock DVD-ROM drive I use in my Compaq Presario 4112 is, like, not working now. I have nothing else whose color matches the insert for the other slot, and I’m kinda upset. Any ideas what I could put in this that at least somewhat matches, color-wise? […]

Maybe I should’ve waited for my wife to get off work to inform her of this, LMAO

I’m starting to understand why alcoholism is a huge problem amongst West Virginian teachers. I want to go home, get drunk, send stupid texts and vomit just so I can feel something other than abject disappointment.

About syntax highlighting https://tonsky.me/blog/syntax-highlighting/

I was looking for some royalty-free BGM for Twitch, and I found this free jazz track that sounds like half a high school big band warming up in the style of Begnagrad (especially right at about two minutes in) and I fucking love it […]

香腸尚未煮熟

Humans are just worms with extra equipment to be mobile and good at food-getting

replies on social media being something you can effortlessly put out is what fucks this concept up. they should be like fidonet emails with a subject and multi-day delivery time

To anyone who uses my webhosting services, e-Mail servers, Minecraft proxies, etc.: everything is temporarily inaccessible because, for the first time in over seven years, Spectrum has changed my IPv4 address and IPv6 prefix. I’m aiming for full restoration by Friday at the latest.

make sure to keep your seagate drives well-hydrated; they can't survive more than a few years outside of the ocean that seagate pulled them out of

When it’s midnight and you realize you don’t have lunch packed for work tomorrow, the appropriate thing to do is fix enough Mexican rice from scratch to feed six men, all sans recipe and without prior experience, then assemble the lovingly made dish into a […] [Original post on squawk.social]

[Ironic U.S. politics] The words of the late, not-so-great Charlie Kirk: “I think it’s worth it] to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” […]

I had the absolute worst dream. There I was, back at the ol’ college cafeteria, right at September premium night, enjoying the normal fare of baby back ribs, loaded baked potato salad, fried catfish… But then, at the dessert table: a large chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting—with an […]

Second day back substitute teaching, and only half of my brand-new PaperMate felt-tips are wet enough to write. I’ve NEVER had a problem with PaperMate! Debating on whether I should call PaperMate themselves or just go to Wal-Mart for an exchange later today. #teaching #pens

I’ve been going around asking friends and acquaintances whether they’d like a number on my furry telephone exchange (FUR-xxxx on PhreakNet). So far, I’ve gotten four requests for subscriber number 3621. Unsurprising. #phreaknet #telephone #telephoneexchange #voip

maybe the fediverse would have wider adoption if we had ActivityNightclub and ActivityCoffeeshop too

I did *not* expect to check back into the Fediverse with fifty-some notifications.

Every time I see the Department of Energy post about how #nuclear is Anerica’s future, I’m like:

There are few things more viscerally frustrating than old people who insist that their misconceived “experience” override my first-hand knowledge.

Bright, sunny day with a calm breeze and low humidity—and the electric just popped off all over the neighborhood. Huh?

I just learned that dying in real life is like dying in hardcore Minecraft 😢

Can’t tell whether my supervisor put me on a lighter job today because she thinks I’m incompetent/useless or because… literally any other reason. I fucking hate working the summer at Wal-Mart (my brain goes wholly unused the entire shift), but that doesn’t mean I wanna be lazy.

bird furries when they see a bird: bird

Genuinely struggling to answer the question “am I too much of a fanboy to form an actual friendship with this person?” right now.

TIL Alan Turing has the same birthday as me (well, 88 years apart). Neat.

If you deem me interesting enough a person to meet IRL, you can find me at the Avians & Birds Meetup during Anthrocon! DLCC 317–318, Saturday at 10:00. Or you can just DM me and meet me whenever, LOL. #anthrocon #furry

Y’all ever had a pileated woodpecker stick its tongue up your nostril? Terrible experience. #birds #woodpecker #wildliferehabilitation

Unsolicited advice from someone who ran a well-prepared 40-person barbecue furmeet and still learned lessons the hard way: 1) Make sure you have enough people willing to do crap at your command so that you won’t become overwhelmed and unable to have fun. (This is the most important one.) 2) […]

[Joke on U.S. politics] I’m liking this preview of MAGA: CIVIL WAR. When’s the release date? 🍿🌮 #uspol

We made it in the news! Big thanks to the Webster Echo for the positive coverage, especially in tumultuous times like these. www.wvecho.com/news/furry-c...

J’ai fait un introduction de prof remplaçant à une classe de Français III, et j’ai utilisé des vocabulaires simples que je souviens de Français II. Ils ne le comprennent pas ! Mais j’ai avoir cette classe a la même profe en cette école. Sont les élèves si difficiles de enseigner ?? #enseignement […]

Currently listening to a WebSDR and I can’t help but laugh at the stereotypically old-man conversations going on. “My rotator cuff is injured”, “My grandson set me up a Yahoo”, and now “Jesus helped me mow my yard” #hamradio

Preschoolers and kindergarteners have a habit of calling me “Mr. Rice” or “Mr. Christ” (it’s Mr. Price). Anyway, today I got: “Mr. Christ, why is your stomach so fat? Are you preganut with Jesus?” I can finally fit back into a men’s L again and this is what I get :gphn_cry_loud: #teaching

I’ve had an awful last few weeks. Getting on social media feels less like leisure and more like a chore.

No hay muchas cosas que son más humildes que una niña en kindergarten ree y dice que tu gramática en español es incorrecta. #teaching #español #esl

[United States politics] Truth be told, I can’t get behind this one-day “economic blackout” thing. Even if every able Democrat were to participate, there are two problems that make it utterly useless: (1) businesses regularly see short-term dips like this based on stuff as menial as rain; and […]

Screw it—I’m actually gonna use Bluesky. I’m definitely staying on the actual Fediverse for more interest-related things (especially thanks to the extensive use of hashtags), but at least I can follow and interact with local furries and other acquaintances over here.

Note to self: telling a hotel you need a conference room for a gathering of “mascot costume enthusiasts” is somehow worse optics than saying it’s for furries. #furry

The only two Keiths I’ve known were both drug dealers, so the fact a hella cute pseudo-tsundere guy in this one comic is named Keith is wild to me #twokinds #furry

I feel like I’d be giving up entirely on the principle of decentralization by using Bluesky, but literally all but one local furries aren’t interested in as much as following @bsky.brid.gy. I’unno, maybe I can crosspost and/or divide up what I use each account for. I guess big corpo shit always […]

Finally forayed into fursuit photography at Furst Night in Pittsburgh! Most of the pics I took can be found on FurTrack: https://www.furtrack.com/user/Sterling/album-5777 #fursuit #photography #furtrack #pittsburgh

Just pulled into an #ev charger, got out and was greeted by an old man in overalls chanting “#Trump” in a do-sol-la-si-do pattern. I swear, this isn’t one of my middle school students trying to write an Occupy Democrats post. It’s just… #westvirginia.
