🔎 Halle the Kingfisher has returned to Turtle Willow. It is an auspicious day.

⚽️ We are season ticket holders number 6 and 7 for Indy Eleven #ixi #usl. We've had season tickets since the inception in 2013. We're considering not renewing next year. * Prohibiting specific political signs in the Brickyard Battalion supporters section killed a lot of support, enthusiasm, and […]

Ah, Bluesky, my sweet summer child. You're going to enforce your "rules against harassment and toxic content". And then you'll discover that it's the same set of people doing the toxic shit. And those toxic people are connected to really powerful people from a specific political party. And […]

Kimmel is back. But Sinclair networks won't air in. Remember to tell their advertisers. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/sep/22/jimmy-kimmel-show-return-charlie-kirk-suspension-disney (also: Colbert still cancelled. Disney still routinely capitulates to China. There is no ethical […]

🎶 Listening to George Winston's _Autumn_, as one does.

Sometimes I think about "who would watch Star Wars and want to be the bad guys" and then I remember people watch Lord of the Rings and want to be the bad guys. https://hachyderm.io/@evacide/115249218050247275

1. Good to see OpenAI found some investment to help them purchase more NVIDIA graphics cards! 2. Good to see NVIDIA has found a significant new sales contract! So glad they're doing well! https://openai.com/index/openai-nvidia-systems-partnership/

another Very Serious Question: What do you call quilting when it's not, like, puffy? E.g. it's piecework/patchwork but without the filling/backing? (Yes, I probably have to turn in my Mennonite Card for not know this.)

As we enter Autumn (happy equinox!), I have an important question: Do sauerkraut and mustard count as vegetables?

Be Seen. A New PSA

🎲 Isle of Ixx has been a great “pick up and go quickly” game, but it’s time for one that is more relevant to our times. I think the winner will be another Oddlike: Fallen Blades/Endless Stars. You play mystic space knights (episode 1) or scoundrels (episode 2) […] [Original post on social.lol]

Do I know anyone local with a long-arm stapler?

⚽️ This game could easily be 4-0 now but #fcsp defense is solid

⚽️ #fscp blocks a penalty and Stuttgart has 0 follow-through.

It is rare to get this level of clarity from an org: > For small utility functions we almost always re-implement them in our code. > For medium modules we fork them and keep them inside our codebase if the licenses allows it. > For large libraries like pdf.js, Mermaid, and MathJax, we include […]

🎶 Happy Igorrr release day to all who celebrate! https://igorrr.bandcamp.com/album/amen Watch the behind the scenes video for "blastbeat falafel" for the glorious nonsense they are up to again.

Reminder while cancelling subscriptions: Library card probably gives you Hoopla and Kanopy TV/Movies/Courses PBS donation can give you Passport, which includes their news, show catalogue, and the wonderful Masterpiece theater and Walter Presents collections

⚽️ Love Champions League. Do not love Paramount+ or Amazon Prime. Need to figure out a good place to view for game days.

🎶 I sometimes think the best way to think about my musical style is the record labels that had the most albums in a period of my musical taste development. 90s Metropolis, TVT 00s Solid State, FiXT, Metal Blade, Roadrunner 10s Ad Noiseam, Lo Dubs, Sub Pop 20s Mord, Artoffact, Indie Vision […]

npm was a mistake. the concept of pulling live dependencies that are not collectively managed by a QA team but each individually managed by many thousands of people with wildly varying skill and availability is inherently doomed to constant incidents.

How can we move away from tags that are implementation specific? (e.g. masto-, fedi-, -sky etc.) and use tags that are usable regardless of implementation?

⚽️ Love this banner after the 🍔 derby #fedifc #Bundesliga #fcsp

I keep hearing about all these cool tools you can deploy on pikapods...but then I think about just putting them on a server and only exposing via tailscale.

🎶 New Releases! - Between the Buried and Me - The Blue Nowhere (https://btbam.bandcamp.com/album/the-blue-nowhere-24-bit-hd-audio) #progmetal - Lorna Shore - I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me (https://lornashore.bandcamp.com/album/i-feel-the-everblack-festering-within-me-24-bit-hd-audio) […]

🕊️ "Then Jesus said to him, 'Put the sword back into its place. All those who use the sword will die by the sword.'"

Back to working my way through _The Dawn of Everything_ and I'm struck by the parallel: * The myth of "race" was popularized by to justify chattel slavery * The myth of "non-agrarian as non-civilized" was popularized to justify colonialism Repeatedly, the heart of a bullshit theory is economic […]

🎥 after this Downton Abbey finale, I want it to be picked up again for two new eras: 1) Declining estate - Inspector Eccentric has arrived to solve murder(s). 2) Dilapidated estate - a new family is trying to revive the place. But it’s haunted!

⚽️ Hate to say it but South Korea’s defensive discipline has been the kind that makes a goalie very happy. #teamgoalie #fedifc

How do I find more ⚽️ #fedifc folks? There’s got to be more in the verse. Does my server just not see them?

⚽️ #usmnt jackets look like a Pepsi ad

So much 🍄🍄‍🟫 Todd for scale (US 13)

🎲 One of my Mythic Bastionland #ttrpg players is creating session reports in verse. Epic!

🎶 New Rhys Fulber. Also it's Bandcamp Friday! (Artists/Labels get a greater cut.) https://rhysfulber.bandcamp.com/album/memory-impulse-autonomy Rhys's self-titled solo albums are predominantly industrial techno. I've been enjoying them even more than his voluminous other work (Front Line […]

My interests and hobbies are quite varied! You may not want to sign up for all of it? These are some of my common topics that you may wish to follow or mute: ⚽️ football/soccer (#fedifc) particularly #USWNT, #usmnt, #ixi (#usl), #cfc (#championsleague), and now #Bundesliga 🎶 music, particularly […]
