this baby monitor in my yard is working hard on getting bigger

if you think this is a terrible idea, and i certainly do, take five minutes of your time to tell npr that you think so

one of the things i forgot about, until literally just now when @videogamebeach.bsky.social reposted this, was in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, water effects were considered a flex in gaming engines ‘wave race blue storm’ and ‘super mario sunshine,’ were nintendo’s way of making a statement.

grilling onions and peppers to put in your grilled cheese sandwich pro: extra flavor, extra texture, extra nutrients con: so much extra work

according to wikipedia, tesla employs roughly 125,600 employees if we evenly divided elon musk’s pay package among his employees, each one would get $7.96 million and change if we gave his money to every american citizen, we’d each get just under $3k this pay package is insane

i’m telling you, the ford maverick has been selling like crazy since the day it came out. *that* should have been their electric truck.

Another tech bro run thing you really should stop using if you haven't already. Our phones can hold cavernous amounts of MP3s, music-only devices can be found in abundance, and there's stuff like Bandcamp for direct artist support. Fresh reminder that ModRetro's founder also funds death dealing.

Gals, if you're not absolutely ruining the workplace for certain kinds of men, you need to step up your game. 🩷

“did women ruin the workplace?” anecdotally speaking my three top bosses, two of whom were my mentors, were all women. my three most toxic bosses? men. what we can say really ruined the workplace has been acquisitions, mergers, restructurings, and layoffs. basically the investment class.

someone should tell me if @chiitan.love ever comes to cincinnati i want a selfie with them

i’m not saying that the vibe from tuesday’s election are going to change the country over night, but i am saying it can’t be a coincidence that a day later i’m given an extra shift this weekend

I think we need to reframe things and refer to any software that intentionally negatively affects user experience to further some ulterior motive as "malicious software"

can anyone point to me where and how to read this new pope’s letters, addresses, and lectures? i want to see what he has to say.

pizza is medicine

i started playing ‘lumines’ again this week, which in my opinion is the second best puzzle game i’ve ever played. i always think back to a review i read a decade ago that called it a ‘tetris knockoff’ and the absolute wrong headedness of that statement has me indignant to this very day.

i’ve seen three cartoons from this channel, all three are done very differently, and all three are absolutely magical. it’s definitely a channel worth checking out.

this past year i’ve been told by the wife i can’t have a pet cow, ox, mule, donkey, camel, alligator, coyote, bear, badger, skunk, or raccoon. i’m starting to question whether or not marriage is worth it.

i’m raising money for food banks today! 1) donate $20+ to the food bank of your choice before 11:59pm ET (donate to feedingamerica.org if you don’t know your local one) 2) send me the proof via IG message 3) i’ll send you back a recording of myself reading you any poem i think suits you 🌹

i’ve had a hell of a week and it’s only halfway through tuesday. i’m in a very rough mood so i made myself some of my favorite, simple comfort food. buttered rice. my mom always told me that a healthy dose of pepper keeps the heart pure, so I doubled up today, just to be on the safe side.

things are even worse since the time change it’s better this way

just got a huge bag of tootsie rolls for $3 cause of discounted halloween candy. even better, i’m the only one in the house who likes tootsie rolls, so they’re all mine. 😈

canceling game pass at the end of the year. when you can’t even play ‘fallout: new vegas’ on the most basic package despite the game nearing two decades old and game pass ultimate being so expensive you can buy two or three games a month for that price, there’s no point in having it at any level.

my scribble page for the day as i daydream of planting my own meadow and finding it next year full of flowers and all sorts of critters i tried to worry more about experimenting with shapes and flows, instead of colors, hence the drawings being mostly black and white #journaling #drawing #badart

fell asleep after that last home run, woke up to the news of there’s one thing about being a reds fan, it’s knowing how to handle waking up to disappointment both teams did an amazing job that was probably a world series of a lifetime

I think this is the truest baseball tweet for me

uh, this top of the 9th home run was not cool not cool at all

letting my mental health hinge on whether or not the blue jays win tonight just baseball things

letting my mental health hinge on whether or not the blue jays win tonight just baseball things

i got uninvited from the halloween party when i told them i was dressing up as the ‘90s underground critical hit, theodore rex

a pretty decent resource for anyone in the greater cincinnati area who might need food assistance in the coming weeks it has resources for ohio, kentucky, and indiana

um, just taking a moment to remind you that today is halloween be a little spooky today

Stop what you're doing and watch this little guy lol

scribbling this afternoon into my journal, listening to yet another doug tallamy lecture, and this time trying to capture the shape and mood of various trees. #journaling #drawing #badart

my scribble page for the day, experimenting with different ways of drawing shrubs and bushes while i listen to a lecture by doug tallamy in the background #journaling #drawing #badart

looking at trees on wikimedia to scribble while i listen to a few lectures today. i do not have the skills to draw this, but i just have to share this awesome, awesome photo.

if ai can’t even get a fast food order right, there’s no way in hell you should trust it with medical advice.

post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

i’m in bed watching the rest of the world series game five. the tv is so far away, it’s the size of a postage stamp. i’m not wearing my glasses so i can’t even make out what the score bug says. it’s so quiet, so my wife can sleep, the only discernible sound is the crowd noise. 10/10 experience.

you will never see me get a wi-fi capable appliance, let alone see me connect it to my network, let alone see me give it my contact information, let alone see me admit that i did all of that on the internet. besides the data privacy implications, it’s just embarrassing.

my triptych for the day. i haven’t done one in a while so i thought i’d try and stretch my wings a bit. source photos in comments. #journaling #drawing #badart

my lunch hour journal drawing. i think i messed up the water and chickened out when it came to drawing the clouds, but overall, i think it turned out alright, in regards to scale and flow. source image in comments. #journaling #drawing #badart

this was my second console after the atari 2600. i had so many games for this i can’t even remember them all, but some highlights were . . . gain ground outrun streets of rage aladdin earthworm jim sonic 2 x-men clone wars super street fighter 2 comix zone spiderman: maximum carnage shinobi iii

was looking through images of forget me nots on wikimedia when i came by this terrific still life by vojtech klimkovič. i just love the whole piece, but i’m especially impressed by the soft reflection of the skull in the table’s wood polish.

good morning and happy Kyusha Wednesday, this is ratty as heck and I’m here for it s.kakaku.com/kuruma/used/...

i am so ready for game 4 of the world series* *already in bed with the tv on in the background

i’m going to propose to the roommates that i get to occupy the kitchen for a good chunk of tomorrow so i can make vanilla cookies. i’ll swing by the story to get some neopolitan ice cream, and we’ll have some kick ass ice cream sandwiches

i don’t remember the movie starting out quite like this, but close enough

i feel like writing and drawing the worse novel ever, just to exercise my own humanity and give chatgpt and other systems the biggest middle finger i can. it might even involve a vigilante cyborg dinosaur and his hacker iguana sidekick. who knows?

i. hate. ticks. i find one on me, even if it hasn't taken hold, and it ruins my mood. gross little things. go away.
