Sorry, not sure how, my Discord got hacked. :| Working on it.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Things I did not know: SJSU apparently has a crime scene photography class. Saw a student while walking photographing what looked like bullet shell tags on the ground. Turns out that was because they were. I had to ask and that’s what they told me.

Checking the bands performing at the local club, and there are a couple of names there I haven’t heard in ages.

One of the benefits of living in downtown is the access to all sorts of community events. Today, for example, there’s Illo Mart from SJMade at the con center, and the SoFA Street Fair nearby.

LRP: The great tragedy of the right going insane in our FPtP system is that normally in this situation, one would hold the left's feet to the fire for being dumb by voting in the other party. But doing that at the moment is not even remotely sane. That reduces political leverage. Suckage.

This is a joke, right? A parody account? We have an authoritarian prosecuting his political enemies, destroying the rule of law, subverting Congress, wrecking the economy, and, inter alia, deploying troops and masked secret police to majority-opposition party cities. FOCUS ON HEALTHCARE?????

Headline: AI could sink a long time software giant. Article: it’s Adobe Obviously, headlines with “could” are to be distrusted. But also, this gives me all sorts of conflicting feelings. www.thestreet.com/technology/m...

One of the neater things around: someone made a live working model of everyone’s favorite Star Tours droid, Captain Rex. They even had it properly synced to the original ride video.

Did get to see the new Pi 500+ in person today. It is very fancy. I really don’t need yet another Pi. But this is really the nicest form of the x00 series yet.

Cell signal is kind of a disaster out here. Mostly here to satisfy my need for whimsy and to see what folks are working on. It also allows me to pick up on trends a bit. There’s always a lot of the same, but it is still amusing even after all these years.

Well don't I feel stupid

Damnit, Linux kernel updates causing ethernet hangs. This is not the type of problem that I'm well equipped to troubleshoot and workaround, save for my elgoog-fu.

Oh. Well, hell. Gotta do that.

Oh my. In before special Round1 plushies that get hammered. xcancel.com/round1usa/st...

Such little, little people.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars." A reminder that the proper response to a bully is "Fuck you, no." Otherwise you're just offering a down payment on future bullying.

Oh, well at least I now know where in the Great Mall the Chubby Cattle should be coming eventually. @jeffi360.bsky.social

One of those things that just popped into my head while sitting at an Olive Garden ruining myself on unlimited pasta is that I still adore that the Japanese call buffets “Vikings”. 😂

Everything was going so well for Biboo. Just… one little mistake. 😂 youtube.com/shorts/Psy-0...

Dangit, too weak for me to feel, or too distracted trying to deal with FGO things. :/

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a shoebox. A shoebox in September. A shoebox on 21st September. And 21st September make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. #gigi #murin #hololive #gigimurin #21september

I'm not sure I want to remember what today is by the implcit threat of a certain gremlin to drive us all crazy today. "Crazy? I was crazy once."

I may have straight up stolen @bobthetrout.bsky.social’s 11-pull. Mea culpa.

So basically, the mirror of the Linux kernel on Github is becoming some sort of weird hell where everyone is making meme-y pull requests, huh? github.com/torvalds/lin... github.com/torvalds/lin... github.com/torvalds/lin... etc.

Following on the heels of the drive in doing free films yesterday, apparently the new Alamo Drafthouses in Vally Fair and Mountain View are doing “free” films this weekend (not really free, they’re $10 films, but with a $10 food voucher) drafthouse.com/movies/free-...

Free movie night! app.foursquare.com/share/checki...

There are multiple answers, serious, that yeah, I should probably get my ass on. There is one answer, also serious, that I think needs to be done, but also, I really REALLY need to not act on.

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

Oh, free movie night at the drive in this week. Guess I'll go see Lilo and Stitch. www.westwinddi.com/free-movie-n...

This map does feel a bit silly. But also, it's D, and it's not really even close.

30 minutes in and Namie is back in on the mpreg train again. 😂

One of those things that still creates problems for me in the world is the changing definition of "AI". Old people see it originally as "something that looks biologically intelligent in some form but is in reality programmatic." Things like "video game enemy AI".

While I’m sympathetic to folks running small businesses and such dealing with the struggle, I am a bit weirded out by a GFM being organized by a former councilman and promoted by the mayor. Plus the story of millions of dollars of debt and yet only a $90k goal feels odd somehow?

See a new trailer for the 4K restoration of Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue!

@matthewjdowd.bsky.social said nothing wrong. Go read his quote. On point. Pathetic move by MSNBC leadership.

Bruh. FGO, did you not test to make sure that the bond raise to make the servant summon permanent wouldn’t break the game?!? I can’t even use a force stop to progress. Good lord. (Yes, it’s happening to a lot of people at least, based on the reddit.)
