Shaved my chest today. My wife likes the difference. She helped me cleanup my back and shoulders after she noticed my arms were bare too. 🫂💞

I rewatched Silent Movie by Mel Brooks recently. I tell ya, the best comedies are the ones that transcend the decade they were created in and somehow pluck jokes as yet unwritten from the future to remain timeless.

one of those things young'uns these days cannot understand ... how in the late90s early 2000s, being online was a hobby it was something you *did* not something you just *were*

I have submitted a copy of my speech, replicated below, to the SCC listserv so that I can at least say it there.

Especially games on media that's technically read-write, meaning if they haven't been powered on in a decade, they can't error correct and digitally rot inside the cellophane. Might as well grade and seal your 2026 Taco Bell lettuce.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

last thing you see before you go under for your orchi

last thing you see before you go under for your orchi

I spent half an hour tonight looking through the only yearbook I have (given to me by a friend for who they misspelled her name on the cover) and ended bummed out I couldn't find the friend who clocked me as being gay far, far before I would allow myself to admit, let alone figure out I'm trans.

The mother of my wife's friend misheard my NB name, then repeated a gendered version of that back at me. I spelled the correction, which she then said "that's an interesting name, was that what your parents gave you?" To which I explained "no, it's more a placeholder." And she nodded and smiled.

Reads me like an open book (I mean, sure, it's cheating and has read my diary). We went out to a memorial for a friends stillbirth. On the drive back I was mostly thinking about how my best friends were the girls I ate lunch with as that awkward boy in senior year, at least the first semester.

Yo, the new Siri is wild. Asking it what was going on in my life based on my notes app, which I basically dump thoughts into regularly

A reminder, if you're even a moderately big account -- *never, ever*, no matter how stupid you think a take is, quote-skeet it to dunk it. Past a certain size account (a size I'm past and I'm far from a big account) doing this will ruin someone's day or possibly life, for no benefit to you.

Idk what Apple is planning, but the new Siri is going to kill casual accounts at the competing AI firms. Is that in their favor? Lower free demand, but also significantly lower conversion rate?

The game where cheating is allowed and barely punished.

I also get mixed up with the spelling of his Star.

Can the bubble finally burst already? I want to buy a Synology and I don't want to be paying for overpriced spinning metal.

good

Haha… okay, I *thought* that I had my account marked as some sort of “bad actor” for mentioning a word related to a point in history, and how you might see the symbol of “the baddies” in welding, chemistry, and industry sites, but apparently it’s because I use TOR browser to bypass age verification?

I finished Blippo+ the other day and I woke up with the Subroutines song in my head.

I hate today's internet because virtually every search result is obvious LLM slop (how many human, non-wiki articles really have TOC?) and the only pages of "high information value" are product instructions? The internet was better when the Yahoo directory and GeoCities were active.

I struggle with asking "but is Colombo also a bastard?" pros: - ADHD - Punches up (villain is always rich or super privileged) - audience knows villain is always guilty (except 1 case) - villain always confesses once revealed to be lying cons: - copaganda - he did lie that one time to the villain.

Normalize minimizing context about health stuff with your managers/supervisors. "You know, I'm getting older, and there are certain things I'd like not to be bothering me" is true for GAC as much as it is for PT for a strained tendon or getting a filling replaced. Sick time is not their business.

If you work in an area with a lot of compressed gas cylinders (chemistry, welding, etc) & there are old pressure vessels around, look for a stamp that resembles step 1. This was a way that US and ally nations reused "perfectly good" cylinders manufactured by the regime. Not always perfect coverup.

In the longer clip directly from Fox News (www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5kD...), Tom says that he's "scared to death" that one day he will have to mourn with families of hypothetical fallen agents. In summary, Tom Homan values the lives of ICE agents higher than the general population.

Having to use TOR to reach bsky in a web browser is bonkers.

every engineering disaster begins with a short-term success

Wait… So I can authenticate no problem and then pull data from the SDKs, but the website and the apps both require age verification? docs: docs.bsky.app Sanctioned python library: atproto.blue/en/latest/

it was hot on my afternoon walk so i partook of a delicious diet mt dew from the convenience store. that's really the promise of america: nearly free and practically unlimited soda available in a 170 oz non-reusable plastic cup at any gas station from sea to shining sea. otherwise you're on your own

I think my drag name would be: Heather Yuri Alister 💫

Always has been my favorite character. I either wanted her or to be her.

Two dead sensors in a day

Two sensors today are giving me bonkers numbers. My previous sensor expired after 10 days and the 12 hour grace period, but after I put on replacement sensor 1, sugar was reading at least 20 lower than finger prick. I gave it a few hours, had lunch. G7 then reads 40 lower than finger prick.

You are not alone if you ride in one of these. You are being surveilled and a human contractor across the world fills in the gaps that AI literally cant navigate on its own.

Oh hey it’s the day to repost my greatest legacy

When the new IKEA RGB smart bulbs are still out of stock after discontinuing the Trådfri line.

Thinking about what social platforms can do for good, or at least organize and inform people (those willing to question and doubt themselves to share a shred of empathy for others), I wonder, how much state age verification policies are meant to suppress what could incite change and progress?

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I hate mobile apps on the desktop... idk if I'd be happier or not to have a bsky iPad app "solve" this compressed view problem. Maybe that "foldable" iPhone rumor will finally make iphone apps resizable.

I fuck'n "love" it when I go to open bsky on safari to grab a screenshot of the stupid age verification and for some stupid reason I'm allowed through (likely a session cookie expired on the pending KWS verification and iCloud Private Relay dropped me in Chicago again).

I think the big takeaway is that I as a user, trust Apple of all the big tech to be the “least bad” at privacy issues, and that I’m not crazy about giving my SSN to freaking Epic Mega Games in order to have public thoughts about my coming out or to find and support others exploring this universe.

So the Texas “App Store Accountability Act” (SB 2420) is to blame for the age verification that people who find their IP geolocation result in the jurisdiction are seeing. And with Bsky being categorized as an “App Store” according to the definitions...

Successful DNS configuration should be an automatic pass on all age verification steps.

How many children have custom domain handles, and why do I still have to prove I'm an adult after successfully configuring DNS to get my vanity handle?
