The proper way to drink whiskey - and live.

Fascism fatigue. I'm coining it right now. I also have it.

Since it is Friday, I am once again reminding you that I am running for CA Assembly District 72, and that my solemn pledge not to use any campaign funds to eat excessive amounts of tortellinis remains in effect. These are personal tortellinis. secure.actblue.com/donate/kluwe

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here? I'll pay the bills. Period. I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team. DM me.

Is anyone guarding Texas then or can I go liberate them?

I don't normally promote corporate press releases, but this one's good https://corporate.lowes.com/newsroom/stories/finding-francine-how-lowes-brought-beloved-cat-home-richmond #francine

Chose the lamest vehicle but still did pretty well in this round #MarioKart

But also, I think there are a lot of people who don't realize that they're simply no longer the target demographic for the SB halftime show and they resent that.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

A Colorado off-roading trail to Telluride is closed until further notice after an SUV got stuck teetering on the edge of a switchback. The vehicle? A Kia Telluride. https://www.denverpost.com/2025/10/02/colorado-mountain-pass-telluride-closed/?share=elil0oaanstuldus5nsn #denverpost #GiftLink

wherever I have to do a captcha I pretend I can't do it and ask a coworker to do it for me. gotta build that backstory

If anyone with an educational nonprofit or school wants a donation of some UR-3 robot arms, get in touch -- my company is getting rid of a bunch and we haven't found any takers with our usual donation recipients. These are great learning models, mechanically similar to light industrial arms but […]

@rebeccawatson for the briefest of moments I was excited to see you on tour

I’m getting my COVID vaxx tomorrow despite the fact that I cannot get COVID due to an immune anomaly. Like if everyone had bedbugs, and you’d never seen a bedbug because your house was accidentally made of DDT. It keeps the bedbugs away by default, but also your house should not be made of poison??

Wife and I already bought tickets, but if you're in the #denver area maybe we'll see you there? Catherine Russell's father was Louis Armstrong's MD. https://mailchi.mp/savoydenver/rootsofjazz #giveaway #jazz

On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder is a valuable thing to have by your side in these times of increasing fascism. Each chapter begins with a short bit of advice as it's title, followed by a sentence or two on it's potential importance. The rest of the chapter provides […] [Original post on sfba.social]

I didn’t deserve this.

Took two dear old friends sightseeing in the neighborhood yesterday. Here's a view of the 16th Avenue tiled steps. 🙂 #sanfrancisco

Like, I just want to post about videogame nonsense and my stupid soccer shenanigans and fun, happy stuff, but every time I look up it’s “The government has cancelled free speech” or “JD Vance jokes about murdering fishermen” or “Donald Trump has declared war on the moon” and I dunno man. Shit sucks.

This fall I will have a blind student in my coding class for the first time. Do any other instructors or visually impaired coders have advice beyond making sure my book has useful alt-text for the images? #rstats #accessibility Class book: psyteachr.github.io/reprores-v5/

Does anyone know what this is about? I know it’s not super clear. . . . Something like “CAMR ONCVLCHT7 GC OCNCR OCYACHNU CACDLNOOTZNOU OLASCS OERAZKVLS” . . . ?

Hankyoreh now has an official English translation of this editorial: english.hani.co.kr/arti/english...

Weird question: When you refer to a person or viewpoint as moderate, is your scale about what you perceive to be the actual views held by the average person in the relevant country, OR is it about what you believe should be considered moderate? Or something else? No judgment, just curious!

I like to welcome people to the neighborhood by asking if they feel comfortable in the house, you know, considering What Happened

What if it was a time traveler y’all

I offered it to a rather prominent Mastodon user who frequently posts #mutualaid requests but they didn't respond, so now I will offer it to you: I have a HP Spectre x360 convertible netbook which won't run Windows 10, but will run #linux great. If you need it more than I do, it's yours […]

Alternate framing: We have a problem with policies that help nonwhites, not with policies that hurt them

Just a reminder that I don’t generally watch the NFL these days (though I will occasionally turn on what might be an interesting game), but you are always welcome to ask me “Chris, why did that well-paid young man not simply kick the ball through the uprights?” and I will answer “watch his hips”

Just knocked my friend out of the top ten for an online game this week. I felt bad, but my wife, who works with him, snort-laughed All's fair in love and #jowordle

I think we all need to constantly split hairs as much as possible to deflate the magical thinking our decision-maker class has adopted around AI. I basically have to do this all day at work. If you’re using “AI” as a shorthand for “a magic wizard” around me I will quibble until you understand that

in case you missed it here's a member of Congress admitting I was right to mock them for normalizing DOGE and trying to bridge with fascists

Hi! Do I know anyone in biotech or medical engineering who’d be up to chat with my niece for a writing assignment she has?

If we were a serious species we’d have spent the last 5 years getting to the point where everyone could wake up, spit into a tube and go about their morning routine before getting a readout whether they were infected with flu/covid/RSV and if they were they could stay home until they were no […]
