2:30 PM and the shadows are long... 😫

the latest slack update on windows made the default font look all shitty and pixelated so I filed a ticket about it and they already sent a very grave reply like "thank you. we were able to reproduce the issue and we're investigating now."

[engineering manager voice] hey folks

Happy anniversary, to those who celebrate h/t @calphonso.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/amp/news/tor...

too early to celebrate yet but my ficus seems like it stopped dropping leaves before it went completely bald and has a bunch of new, fresh sprouts now. we might survive the winter...

Here's to you, Homer and Bart Rest forever, Lisa and Marge The last and final moment is yours That agony is your triumph

Valve and Nintendo will collaborate on “absolutely nothing” later today. There will be “no details, whatsoever” announced because, as my source puts it, “They literally aren't doing anything together. Stop messaging me.” It remains to be seen what - if anything - this collaboration is about.

nothing gets past me bro... over the summer I caught a serious issue with our air conditioning because it started making a tiny bit of noise and just now I realized we put the dishwasher on the wrong cycle because I walked into the kitchen and was like "it smells extra soapy in here"

you ever see someone so tall that it's a little bit scary

Girls have two moods

one of today's catfishing questions was for someone belonging to the "people with ulcerative colitis" category (and who I did not know belonged to that category, but I did guess them correctly) so naturally I went to that category page after and the first person listed was... shinzo abe??

whoaaaaa no one told me that george murray (one of my favorite bassists ever) and carlos alomar were doing a tribute/reunion tour based on their work with bowie... only in europe so I wouldn't have made it anyway but I would fucking kill to see that if I could

*stands up bravely* leech seed should be 100% accurate when used by grass types

Sometimes you gotta talk to the realest guy you know

I know it can boring and odious but you have to care at least a little about econ numbers shit or else you end up with complete vibe-math statements like "if you had a million dollars you could house every homeless person in your city" 😕

control yourself... take only what you neeeeed gromit

reddit likes to recommend me random posts and sometimes they're awesome

she went to state legislators, TPUSA and conservative media outlets within a few hours of getting her grade, if you can’t identify the bad faith that can be seen from space, you need to get your eyes checked

Perhaps the best spam text I've ever received

I thankfully spend almost zero time thinking about work on weekends but that means every monday morning I'm like "wait what the fuck was I working on last week"

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

sometimes you don't appreciate nonbreaking spaces until you're on a website that doesn't use them and then get confused about a sentence that's like "blah blah blah E." until the next line continues "M. Forster"

is it just me or do you ever notice how contemporary movies/TV seem like they use waaaaay more short and frequent camera cuts than even shit from like, 20 years ago did. not a universal thing but there are times where I start to get starved for even a few long shots

*laughs like this*

fondly remembering my cis gay coworker who (on multiple occasions lol) pronounced "cishet" like “sih-SHAY”

finally took the arms off my office chair. I should've done this years ago

Yeah they trained their dog only using terms from psychoanalysis. If you say “jouissance” he rolls over, if you say “pure signifier” he sits, and if you say “sexuation” he runs off to fuck the couch

I enjoy quite a few independent blogs and newsletters but there are too many (popular) freelance journalists / academics / "intellectuals" who are clearly skimping on (1) editing and (2) fact-checking and, well. it's not good lol

Look, if you're not an expert you wouldn't know, but this chart is bullshit. They could not possibly measure this as 1. How can you tell for sure? There's no reliable automated way. 2. You're not counting the many sites that are blocking crawlers now. But there's an even more important reason...

Hey man are you doing okay. I saw you changed your Nintendo Switch profile icon from that Star Fox babe to a picture of Luigi holding the barrel of a gun against his nuts. Is that from one of the Luigi's Mansions? I'm here for you no matter what but I never played any of em. No spoilers please.

really good randbats endgame: full HP hawlucha v ~70% flutter mane, mane is specs moonblast. if I tera flying I can barely live one hit but I still have my herb so acrobatics is a 2HKO, meaning I lose. tera > tank a moonblast that triggers a SpA drop > lucha uses herb > acro is now OHKO and I win :)

leaving the house and the sun already had that evening slant to it... at THREE PM!!!!!

genuinely idk how anyone is ever bored in an "oh I have nothing interesting to do right now" way because I feel like I could have all the free time in the world and it would still take 200 years to read and watch and play all of the things on my I'll-get-around-to-it-eventually list

heard someone say that calling trans women women was a "linguistic formality" and it highlights how liberal ignorance of our lives has evolved their supposed allyship into a kind of paternalistic pity in which they feel they are burdened w pretending im someone im not bc it's the "nice" thing to do

okay now that I can kind of read again I need to google some shit. one of the eye doctor nurses was telling me about "iris color-changing surgery" and how they keep telling people not to get it because it's super dangerous and I was like ?????

If Isaac Chotiner ever said this to me, I would move to the woods.

got my eyes dilated (typing this on a hope and a prayer right now) and I keep thinking about "man loves his family so much he got eye enlargement surgery so he could look at them even more" and laughing

Terumaru, a bright young lightbulb and the mascot of the Tokyu Denki electric company, trapped in a door yesterday:

i am willing to compromise by just insisting on prison terms for ICE employees. that is the moderate position.

funny match where I NEEDED that synchronize para or else I was gonna die to umbreon stalling me out with toxic and my wish was granted lol replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randomba...

when you need to write UX copy but a genie's curse prevents you from describing any features directly

noelle has these kitchen scissors that you can split in half (I assume to make them easier to wash?) and every time the two pieces are laying out to dry it gives me kill la kill flashbacks

that 5 dollar indie roguelike you played last year on steam has a new announcement for you: they have made the ugliest plush toy you've ever seen
