Sweat babby jayzuz iOS 26 is a clusterfuck. Yes I have an “old” phone (a 12), but it was working great and now doesn’t. I can literally see animation frames being drawn one by one in certain transitions, and basic shit (like trying to capture a screenshot) works maybe 10% of the time. I’ve long […]

fuck you texas #uspol

It's the only way.

IT’S DENTIST TIME IN THE #sanfranciscohellscape!! 😍😍😍 #twothirty

Beautiful fall colors. Bishop, California. #fall #fallcolors #autumn #nature #california

my wife found this online somewhere recently, and I don't think I've agreed this hard with anything in a long time

Edible landscaping plant of the day. Arbutus Unedo (strawberry tree). #fruit #urbanforaging

TFW you realise you don’t have to give a single shit about who Jay Graber is, because you didn’t escape one enshittified corpofascist social media platform just to stupidly pick another one and mistakenly thinking the outcome would be any different. #fediverse #ftw #idioticblueskydrama […]

Some US government employees are currently required to continue working but not get paid. This includes ICE. Trump finally did something I like: he made the ICE goons into slaves.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

1985: (writes a crappy BASIC program to find a few thousand prime numbers, which runs in maybe 10 seconds): "wow, the computer is so much faster than I am" 2005: (uses Google to find three obscure song lyrics and five obscure academic references in about 5 minutes): "wow, the computer is so […]

I really wish the message could get through to normies: Just because political violence is threatened or done against a right wing political figure doesn't mean it's coming from the left. It's almost always either someone from even farther right, or someone who just has weird extreme views […]

It is WILD that we now live in a time where my job as an astrophysics professor has gone from "learn cool things about space" to "try to get someone to hold billionaires accountable for dropping shit on us from orbit"

This is such a huge bummer. There had been talk of turning this into housing or back into a theater. #SanFrancisco sfstandard.com/2025/09/22/c...

What’s shaking peeps? #sanfranciscohellscape #quakesedition

I hate memes, but a pal sent this along and it's a good one.

Dictator Trump and Republicans don't really care if we cancel Disney+ over ABC dropping Jimmy Kimmel (although Disney might). But, MAGAs are worried that Californians will vote YES on Prop 50 and counter their attempts to rig the midterm elections through re-gerrymandering Texas. Vote YES on 50.

Happy World Lymphoma Awareness Day to all who celebrate!! 🎉 Wait. That sounds wrong. 🤔 #worldlymphomaawarenessday #lymphoma #fuckcancer

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Last night, 4 Touchstone Climbing gyms in Northern California (including Dogpatch Boulders and Mission Cliffs) voted to unionize, joining 5 already unionized gyms in SoCal. I’ve been a TC member for 16 years and I’m glad to see workers organizing to make the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Happy #orangeskyday anniversary to all who celebrate! Here’s what my view looked like around 10am that morning. Yes those colours are accurate (I forced the camera to white balance using the white construction light at left). #sanfranciscohellscape #orangethingsareusuallyverybadedition

This appalling humidity is doing terrible things to my mullet. #sanfranciscohellscape #ruinedhairedition

#itap of some #natureycrap for @BobHorowitz. I know he loves seeing nature healing. 🥰 #photography #filtersgonewild

Something really terrible is going to happen. I've just created a huge karmic imbalance in the universe. Just now, I plugged in my printer which hasn't been used in about a year, it connected itself to the WiFi and successfully printed the document that I asked for.

A significant (mostly dry) lightning-induced wildfire outbreak is now underway in the central/southern Sierra, especially in foothills. Dozens of new lightning ignitions have occurred, with new reports coming in every 5 min. More lightning ongoing/possible later. #CAwx #CAfire

YELLOW BUSH LUPINE!!!!!!1 😍😍😍 #bloomscrolling #californianatives #silentsunday #thenwhyamishouting?

Some flowers are short and it is easier just to scramble to a horizontal position to photograph them. Spring is long gone but a few Serpentine flowers are still out. San Mateo county. Wooly-flowered aster. Lessingia hololeuca. #bloomscrolling #nativeplants

I’m increasingly sick of seeing empty, pointless beseechments here for “someone, do something!!!1” regarding the appalling state of #uspol. There is literally no person on the Fediverse who can individually and unilaterally "do something” that will fix everything, so instead of abdicating […]

omg there’s a triffid sprouting in my yard! 😱 #bloomscrolling #ithink #ihope #sanfranciscohellscape #unidentifiedplantsedition

I’m in a ‘what does my tattoo mean’ subreddit and a ‘what is this mushroom I just ate’ one and statistically there has to be a person who ate a poisonous mushroom without checking, who also has a Chinese tattoo that says ‘shrimp fried rice’. But if they ate the mushroom they may never know it […]
