So you know how the only way to escape the matrix was via hard line pay phones? And how it’s harder and harder to find a pay phone? And as pay phones got rarer life started fucking us over more?

Timeline presenting me with two options heh

Disney's announcement re: Kimmel is a very tepid walk-back, essentially saying that they don't think their actions were fundamentally wrong, merely conceding that Kimmel's comments weren't that bad. As far as broadcast stations, Sinclair is still insisting he donate to TPUSA, which...FUCK that.

I think my body + brain are dropping not very subtle hints about how I’ve fallen out of exercise habit. I had the longest, most boring dream last night that was literally just me doing a normal workout, lol.

Man I don't usually get much FOMO but folks posting how much they're enjoying @fureverwest.bsky.social is giving me a bit since it wouldn't even be that hard to drive up there. Will have to check it out next year heh.

Affirmation Coyote misses Affirmation Thylacine.

Pssst Have you heard? #FirstDraftFall is coming back!! And we'll be starting up very, very soon

Speaking of algorithm stuff, though...I wish more apps had a way to say 'No' or 'Not right now' to things in a way that explicitly DOESN'T affect their algorithm for you. E.g. Pandora had a "I'm tired of this song" feature that I wish every other platform would copy. I don't want to un-like it, 1/4

I pretty much never watch YT Shorts, and I think part of it is that surprisingly often, like *very* often, when one looks interesting and I give it a shot, it's basically an ad. Am I just unlucky? Or is that like, the main thing channels use them for?

Withheld judgment until seeing it for myself, but unlocking my phone for the first time after installing iOS 26 and *wow* I hate this look. Also functionally, when a 'glass' icon rolls over my background and does that effect, it registers as movement and draws the eye to something that shouldn't.

They've made the breathing sounds much less intrusive and also movement stuff makes them come up far less often, so yay! Also they I guess didn't run their strings through spellcheck lol.

"I'm coming over in a little while" A magic incantation that almost anyone can say which will cause me to drop whatever I'm doing and vacuum.

I never have nightmares but I realized after waking up that the dream I was having last night was like an anti-nightmare. I was giving a presentation and I stripped down to my undies first, because I had really nice underwear. People were very complimentary and the whole vibe was very chill. :)

Fullsuit onna mountain! Still need to get my tiger up on a mountain sometime

I have zero plans for this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it.

Scrolling back through my old telegram saved messages and hmmmmmm I might be just about ready to trim my beard back down for a while. Though maybe would be best if I could lose some weight first.

The make-or-break factor in whether I get Borderlands 4 this weekend or wait 'til it's on sale in a couple years: Did they finally add a setting to turn off breathing sounds or, at the least, is there a character like FL4K that inherently doesn't breathe?

This candy corn is over two years old and is it just me or does it look … veiny? Still tastes alright tho 🤷

Told my dad I'd update my iPhone this year and he could have my old one since his is almost out of support, but dang that event was underwhelming. If the Air was more like iPad where it's much lower price than the Pro, I might be tempted, but as is I don't love or even like any of these options.

o-oh...

Just realized they fiiiiinally added bookmarks! I can stop sending posts I want to read later to my telegram, yessssssss :D

Hooray, got my shots before the brainworm puppet could outlaw them. At least we're good for another year heh.

I think I'm going to take a crack at early bed / early wake again. It's so good when it works. I think where I screwed up last time was I took it too far so any kinda social activity wrecked me. I want to be *able* to stay up to 1a once in a while, but default to hitting the hay 10-ish.

It's kind of a blessing that I have at least a few buttons that are so easy to push people do it on accident all the time. Hardly need to go hunting for niche stuff when one out of every few fursuit pics I see will be a YEP 👀

A doctor I trust more than RFK Jr.

We are soooo close to the time of year when I want to get hot coffee drinks instead of iced / blended. I'm so ready for it. :D

Excused without even needing to show up :c TBH was kinda looking forward to it but oh well, maybe next time!

Ahhh, that time of year when the sun sneaks through the string holes in my blinds and gets me right in the damn eye every morning.

I wish I could sort my steam library by playtime. I wand to find a game that I put a good amount of time into but haven't touched in at least a year.

Niche but does anybody know if The Furry Pound moved their servers recently or something? My ping has gone from like 30-50 to 135 or so. No change to other servers, so I don't think it's on my end.

I support all September x Animal portmanteaus as long as they are accompanied by cute and/or hot fursuit pics or art.

Fair, my main high school sport was actually rodeo haha (long since out of that lifestyle tho :P ) uquiz.com/quiz/64v0cF/...

No new pics where you at mentally

Watching TV from a couple decades ago when cops drove Crown Vics, and I can't help thinking... Letting cops have cop cars that are the kind of cars that the kind of people who become cops think are cool was a huge mistake.

When I see one of the many LinkedIn posts that are along the lines of, "Using GenAI, I / our team built / created...", I mentally rewrite it as "Using plagiarism, I built..." Really helps orient who is and is not due credit in the creation of whatever, regardless of the product's objective quality.

Ahhhh forgot I'd pre-ordered this, what a lovely surprise to find in the mailbox! :D

Thirty years ago Novell embedded a third-party viewer in their flagship email app. Users could view files without having the applications that created the files — a VERY big deal in 1995. But the viewer did the math wrong when viewing spreadsheets with equations in them.

Normally I'm annoyed when the pizza place makes my order wrong but today they put Too Much Cheese on my cheesy bread and...ya just can't complain about that. :P

Icon for @cumulowolf.bsky.social! 🌩️

Anybody have a strong recommend for a like...home inventory app? That has to be a thing, right? I keep buying stuff I already have because I forgot I had it and only realize when I go to put the new stuff away in the most logical place and, oh hey, there's already some there. 🙄

My dog has learned what the end of a meeting sounds like. He always caaaasually swings by to lie down in the doorway to my office and make eye contact right when I'm wrapping up a meeting, just in case I maybe wanted to come to the kitchen and get him a chicken treat or something. :P

Accidentally realized today that when you click a picture on FA and it goes into the pop-out display mode, you can scroll your mouse wheel to zoom in and out. How long has that been a feature I didn't know about?

Surprisingly easy and genial convo helping some R&D folks just now: > Hey this vendor's API isn't returning as many nodes as we expect. Ok, lemme check. ... Looks right to me. > Then why aren't they all making it to our DB? ....no idea, ask the DB folks? > Okay, thanks! 👍

Post a screenshot of your first 5 Steam purchases and let Bluesky judge you Open the Steam client, click your name in the top right -> account details -> View purchase history and scroll down Yeah, I'm an ancient coyote. :P I bet Orange Box was how a lot of people got Steam tho.

Just now randomly noticing Ironheart came out. I don't think I've seen or heard anybody mention it at all, anywhere, so...I'm guessing it's very mid? Even if it sucked you'd think I'd've heard of it heh.

It blows my mind how often I see people refer to colleagues by their surname when it's a foreign-sounding name. Like, just got an email from the legal team to me and my PM. They addressed the message to me by my first name and my PM by his surname. WTF. And I see this happen fairly often.
