Overheard a coworker in another department saying he's having a hard time affording incandescent bulbs to replace the ones he has at home because "LEDs are so bad for you." ... ... wat?

"Junk journaling" (which I only know is a "trend" thanks to a CVS ad) already had a name. It's scrapbooking. Which is a better name.

A coworker gave myself and the guys I was working with an open invitation to test drive his Tesla with FSD, adding that if we buy a Tesla afterwards, we get a few grand off and he gets a bonus. Even if they weren't the new nazi-mobiles, no thanks. I don't feel like crushing any cyclists today.

The last time I recall seeing this many ads for casinos and apps that promise to pay you for playing games was... during the last Recession. 🤔

I've greatly cut back on my caffeine intake. Now my energy level throughout the day has gone from a rollercoaster to one of those parkwide train rides.

Share a smile 😊🍎

What do you want more ning for? We had ning yesterday.

An alternate universe where nature adores a vacuum

As much as I'd like to encourage my kids to watch their cousin's YouTube videos and support him, it's 10% stolen by recording from another device, and 90% the sort of roblox-generated brainrot I've been trying to steer them away from. I hate feeling conflicted. Why did he have to be an iPad Kid™?

YouTube ad: "Buy everyday things like groceries and pay it off every month to build credit!" Me:

If I could draw and animate, I'd make a #BattleTech animatic of the Battle of Twycross. The soundtrack? Darude's Sandstorm. How would one go about learning these dark magics?

Oh good, the old heads I voted against in PA's democratic committee vote in the primary lost. Let's get some young blood in the party.

Darmok AND Jalad? In this economy?

QRP with the doctor you'd trust leading the hantavirus response instead of RFK Jr.

The only AI you can trust

I'm giving away 3 Steam copies of MechWarrior 5 Clans Wolves of Tukayyid in anticipation of the anniversary of the glorious Clan Wolf victory at the Battle of Tukayyid next month - just retweet this tweet to join the raffle and I'll announce winners Thursday next week

Disturbed's rendition of "The Sound of Silence" sucks. That is all.

Why are my YouTube ads dominated by gambling, unnaturally proportioned AI "girls", and divorce lawyers? What exactly are you trying to say, Algorithm?

Any chance of @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social having another #BattleTech book Humble Bundle? I missed out on the last one and would love a chance to catch up on the fiction but I don't have much spending money.

30 years ago, as a teen, I started to get into BattleTech, but couldn't keep up with the property because I had no money to spend on my fandom. Now, as an adult, with a decent wage, I'm back into BattleTech, but can't keep up with the property because I *still* have no money to spend on my fandom!

You know you've made a good dinner when your weird reclusive brother who lives in the attic and only comes down to steal food comes back for seconds.

I don't live in that big of a town. The next town over is only a little bit bigger but significantly less affluent on average. There is a 6th large storage facility being built nearby. Who is renting these spaces? What are they storing there? Why does nobody else recognize them as a symptom?

The only VA I've done (aside from silly voices for my kids' stories) I did for free. It was great fun! Sadly the site that hosted it is no longer around so I can't show it off. I don't really have the time or energy for it these days, but someday I'd love to throw my hat into the ring again.

This is a dance off! If you see this, post a dance or you're eliminated.

*picks up old bottle from ocean, reads message* "Don't forget to drink... your... Ovaltine"?

Hey. Hey, you. Yeah. You. Own a dryer? Clean your fucking vent.

How I imagine @campaignpod.bsky.social's Skyships looking in about 100 years.

As my kids grow older and closer to one another, I no longer need to stay up until midnight doing chores after they go to bed. I can do chores while they're awake and playing together and use those precious late hours slowly reclaiming my basement from 10 years of hoarding bullshit.

Today's Sunday Best isn't a person, it's a plane from an old Vlambeer game called Luftrausers! The music changes to match your airplane. My favorite configuration is called "Shipwreck," a sword-hulled amphibious prop plane with shotgun cannons, it can divebomb through boats & burst up from the sea.

BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, won the city’s annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social

Me and who

2026 basically

Sony Animation has been killing it lately. Spider-Verse, KPDH, and now Goat? Beautifully animated movies with great humor and good underlying messages. I hope they can keep it up.

Oops, I did it again. Same region, much smaller. Dead Winter's "musical" strips are one of the best and most unique things about the comic. You should all go read it. And follow @rally.luckyraven.cc . They're good people. wplace.live?lat=40.14670...

@linusmediagroup.com "Product Posts" (PP) is right there.

My Internet has been spotty for the last several weeks. After a dropout tonight, I ran a quick speed test. My test connection was to the Furry Institute of Technology. It's exactly what it sounds like.

You're cordially invited to the Bluesky Pity Party. Wear something black.

Think you know the first red state that will declare a state of emergency this weekend and be denied FEMA support by the current administration? Kalshi tracks it! Kalshi: "Trade" on the Misfortune of Others™

Hi folks - I know I sound like a broken record, but Liz’ full time pay doesn’t kick in for another 2 weeks and we need to get some money to our landlord ASAP. If you can help, it would mean the world to us. ❤️ PayPal.me/MaeGodHaveMercy Cash.app/$MaeGodHaveMercy Venmo.com/u/MaeGodHaveMercy

Schuylkill. Those who can pronounce it can't spell it, and those that can spell it can't pronounce it.

Stranger Things 5, Episode 8: "Talking is a Free Action"

After two months of pretending to work (until I ran out of pixels, which happens quickly with large drawings), I'm counting this contribution to #wplace complete. I also wanted to share it before the mods realize she has boobs. For some reason they hate the feminine form. @rally.luckyraven.cc

You will be visited by three spirits.

Just goes to show, you can either die a hero, or live to become Travis Matagot.

First 3 words you see will define your 2026. I'm... I'm not sure I want to repeat what I saw first. Suffice it to say 2026 will be a, um, fun year. As long as my body can keep up, anyway.

I really need to stop listening to hobby podcasts that talk about accessories for my hobbies that I can't afford. Sure, it's great to hear that said hobbies are booming, but I can't help feeling that they're moving on without me.
