Old man at the store got super pissed when someone said “have a happy Memorial Day” “Nobody should have a happy Memorial Day! It’s to remember the dead” Me: Then why is your cart filled with beer, bratwurst, burgers, chips and fruit salad?! Are you throwing an outdoor funeral BBQ? Him: FUCK YOU!

Rowdy The Cargo Bike Adventure Pup RIDES AGAIN!!!!

I’m standing at a 4 way stop in a pedestrian heavy vacation area eating some ice cream and I’ve watched 40 cars in a row NOT STOP. Tell me again about how cyclists are lawless

Car Brain should be listed in the DSM.

20 mins after this a guy in a truck tried to run me off the road because he had to take his foot off the gas for 10 seconds. When he saw the dog he slowed down and apologized for scaring the dog but NOT for trying to kill me.

“Prompt Engineering” is such a nonsense term. You’ve reduced huge aspects of creativity to typing a sentence and now, in order to make the sentence writer feel important you’ve falsely elevated their title to that of an “engineer.”

Since I discovered that I have almost never actually listened to the words to songs because I hear the lyrics as part of the music I've figured out how most of my favorite 'upbeat relationship' songs were actually about breaking up. LOL Altered Images "I Could be Happy" is NOT a happy song.

It’s fun when you get a notification that someone you’ve never interacted with has blocked you and you check them on ClearSky and they are someone that you would have blocked if you’d known they existed.

There are few things I care about less than the new Bond, but that said I’m up for any actor that gives right-wingers some well earned agita.

My cables and cords are about to be SOOOOO managed! Desk Reorg 2026 is about to reach its pinnacle. New monitors (after 6 years.) New KVM New docking stations Now new power distribution and cable wrangling.

The Dutton Ranch is derivative, predictable, and filled with cliches and tropes, some of which Yellowstone helped to perfect but I sit here before you to say I will not miss a single episode. :-)

No matter what good things a city does some centrist cos-playing as a progressive WILL take a huge shit on it. Pun tended.

Pileated Wood Pecker. #birds Also, I need to was my windows LOL

Microsoft Teams is an application designed for team work but, like every other MS app, it seems designed with ONE overarching assumption: everyone only works for ONE organization. ALL the features around multi-org workers are just laughable.

Stark, Terrell, Targarian, Lannister, Hufflepuff, Gryffndor

All I need is a bidirectional Display Port to HDMI cable and my new KVM setup will be complete. I even got it to do my wireless mouse! SOOOOOO CLOSE!

Dear Every UX Developer EVER: If I click on something and then you pop a dialog that expects me to type something in, have the courtesy to add the extra ONE LINE OF CODE to put the focus on that input field. Dont make me type it into the air first and then make me click into the damn box. Sheesh!

It's NUTS to me that in 2026 I have to buy a MUCH more expensive, special KVM switch because Windows STILL doesnt understand that KVM switches exist and it freaks out every time you disconnect a monitor.

Damn, these flat monitors are messing me up. 6 years of dual curved monitors broke my brain. My brain sees them as convex now. The centers of both these monitors feels like they are in 3D and coming toward me. LOL

It's fun being a 30 year software and IT industry veteran calling in to tech support at a new client and having them talk to me like Im a dull, Amish 7 year old because the initial password THEY sent me was incorrect and the reset page only works AFTER you've logged in once and set it up. grrr

All your dogs are just cuting for 2nd place

For 6 years I've been using the same, mid range, curved monitors for my work setup. Today I got really nice Viewsonic 32" monitors and a new KVM, the works. The monitors are amazing but NOT CURVED so after 6 years they look convex to me. LOL

Remember ladies, even a guy that seems from his profile to be a good leftist will glibly blame YOU for not being able to read the minds of every man you start dating. Gentlemen, DON'T be a Raphael.

Happy Pickwick Day to those that celebrate! On this day in 1827 Samuel Pickwick embarked on his famous journey as depicted in Charles Dickens’ first novel The Pickwick Papers! 📖🍰

Alder Plank grilled salmon on a bed of greens with a mild Caesar dressing.

Found out this weekend that some birds, like the Cuckoo, dont make their own nests. They lay in other nests, often breaking the original eggs in the process. It's called Brood Parasitism. CuckKoo's also exhibit "mafia behavior" in that they WATCH over the nest and kill everyone if their baby dies.

We are all, in our way, "Area Turtle Owners"

I've always been morbidly fascinated by white people that hear "black lives matter" or "equal rights" and think it means taking something away from white people because implicit in their position is that oppressing minorities is an integral part of being white. They never see it. It's fascinating

Is there anything more tedious and less productive than the eye-roll inducing cocktail of food gatekeeping and cultural generalizations around food tastes? "White people cant handle spicy food!" "Americans dont put butter on sandwiches!" "If you put X on your Y you are a heathen!" UGH. Get a life

Bush Tit nest in my front yard! Made from moss, animal fur, grass and collected spider silk!!! #birds

Slightly increase a band The Thompson Triplets

Music Hot Take: Frankie Goes to Hollywood's cover of "Born to Run" is better than Springsteen's original.

Skagit County for the win: Tree Swallows mating #birding

Recruiter send me a message he had to pay for and then yelled at me because I didn’t reject it in a way that would refund him.

If youve been on BSky for a year and you don’t have at least 10,000 people blocked via a Moderation list and a 100 entry moderation word list then your kink is being bothered by randos. Than you for listening to my podcast

Worst thing I’m proud of? I had a therapist that asked me a bunch of leading questions about my childhood and other trauma and 30 mins into our hour she started crying. And that’s how I “won” therapy!!!

The Telltale Spleen

To Annoy a Mockingbird

I was today years old when I found out that "I Melt With You" was about two lovers' last moments before they were evaporated by a nuclear explosion. So I just have to know that for the rest of my life now.

I've discovered, with the help of my goofy fucking cat, the most addictive substance in the cat universe. No, NOT catnip. It's my ear wax. My cat ignores ALL catnip. Even pure, organic, home dried good good. But let her find one used Q-tip and she falls down a dark, dark cavern of obsession.

There is a special place in hell for the Laurelhurst Neighborhood Association. I remember this back in 1992 when they got approval for an actual on site helipad instead of having to land in a literal FIELD nearby and drive.

Remember to order your mifepristone TODAY. SCOTUS did a temp restraining order on the FDAs move to block it. Lasts a week but who knows. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Blue Harvest is almost as good as the actual movies.

I’m Marine the number of wrong turns you to to take to wind up as the spokes person for the 81yo, disbarred Rudy Giuliani.

Damn, the normies can’t even let us have hoses now.

One thing is clear from the development of ChaTGPT: a graphic designer, a junior software engineer and a writer broke the fuck out of Sam Altman’s heart.

Summer, summer, summer time

All I can think of now is an imaginary Friends episode called “The One with Black Phoebe” where they meet a quirky BLACK masseuse that can’t sing”
