ME: Hey, what condiment is that? FRIEND: Soy sauce. ME: Sauce, ¿qué condimento es eso?

Revisiting @ivancastell.com's "The Rise of the Synths" for the first time since 2019 now that I have it in an accessible video library. #Synthwave #RiseOfTheSynths

Kash Patel is going to make history as the first FBI director to get medically evacuated from Burning Man

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

Be not afraid.

you know someone’s mad as hell when they post the bluesky daily active users chart

During the 2010s, physics student Reza Domiri Ganji got permission to take high-quality photos in various Iranian mosques. As a completely avoidable, pointlessly destructive conflict looms, it's worth remembering what can be achieved when people create instead of smash. www.cnn.com/travel/galle...

Grooving to this. #TearsInTheRain #TheWeeknd #KissLand

and we’re back (to freezing)

My favorite thing from a stellar Alamo pre-show before "Wuthering Heights". I give the film a 3.5/5.0, but this was a 5.0/5.0.

No cheating, your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist. Clown Bowie. Can't wait to see what I hear from him.

It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

NYC public schools: Tomorrow (Mon 2/23) is a full snow day —no remote learning, no logging on. Our first real snow day in seven years. This blizzard is serious. Stay inside. Travel ban 9pm–noon tomorrow so crews can keep streets clear. After the worst passes, bundle up and enjoy the snow — safely.

Gotta go, my ride's here.

This is Death and the Girl by Frans van Kuyck (19th Century). What do you think this painting is about? #Victorian #death #GrimReaper #goth #gothic #art #paintings #history #historian #1800s

TEST YOUR MIGHT. MORTAL COMBAT!

Picked up an LG Blu-ray reader/writer today to tackle some of my HD content. It plugged in and started ripping without any issues. I'm not making any special effort for 4K content - given that most films are processed as 2K (2560×1440), 1080p is FINE for my needs.

love that there is an Avengers: Doomsday for TV westerns

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

There's nothing quite like the potential of a Saturday morning. And nothing like the disappointment of a Sunday evening about how you managed to squander all of it!

An old comic style of a woman looking out her window at a city skyline. The bubble says, “What a stupid time to be alive.”

Doing some homelab work this evening. Migrated my Lyrion server to share the music folder with Jellyfin. Split up some MKV files to render Macross properly in Jellyfin. Got to the end of my DVD collection to rip. Still need to set up the last laptop as my SDR to eavesdrop the local airwaves.

Computer science is about computers in the same way that astronomy is about telescopes (Edsger Wybe Dijkstra) Syntax is mostly an annoyance compared to intuition about what algorithm solves a problem

this made my soul ache

This is REALLY interesting.

Each winter from December through March 10k elephant seals converge on Año Nuevo State Park in California for a loud and violent mating season featuring frequent dominance battles between males. With yr funding I will hire national geographic camera crews to stream this live to sports betting sites.

1000% THIS.

Breaking: you cannot tariff a man on 5th avenue and get away with it

This is VF-19 Excalibur Custom Fire Valkyrie from Macross 7. It can transform into a fighter jet and the controls are shaped like a guitar, which rules actually. Remember 16/10

Horrifying, cruel, evil.

Big Jellyfin dilemma... As a Macross fan, I'm saving the various series to my server so that I have them, even when Harmony Gold wishes otherwise. I have OG Super-Dimension Fortress Macross, 7, Zero, etc. Q: I have Robotech DVDs. Should I add them too? (h/t: @secretgalaxy.bsky.social)

"See you on the inside"

Put! It! Back!

The UK arresting Andrew. South Korea tossing their wannabe dictator in jail for life. John Roberts better be getting a really nice Edible Arrangement from the White House.

Princes arrested and presidents with life sentences its like other countries are just mogging our justice system to our faces They’re equal under the law maxxing they’re corruptiongooning us

I'm wondering if you could do this all under the aegis of the Defense Production Act. Is there a rule that says a dog can't play basketball, so-to-speak?

mf got that “mom can we stop and get nuggets” beat down expression

Fido was out catching some rays today. #Fido #alligator #nature

Bluesky FTW.

Just want to give a shout out to Clicks, whose customer service has been great after I broke the top portion of my 2024 razr plus case. A free fix is on its way.

Been having way too much fun sending my wife screen captures of one of her friends as a baby... ... the alien baby from 1974's TV movie "The Stranger Within", written by Richard Matheson.

And while i'm talking about Channel Zero, i don't think anything since has even come close to touching the creature design work that all four seasons of that show produced, often specifically because they worked with distinctive artists and just let them do their thing.
