tfw you're watching a video essay but the presenter's cat is there and went into their fourth cuddle roll in five minutes and the presenter is STILL not petting the cat

The one Firefox feature I _really_ want: being able to change the window icon on a per-profile basis. (Specifically for the titlebar icon and the alt tab menu; I've got different icons for launching each profile. People have walked me through ways to do this, but none of them worked. Firefox […]

I've implemented a cost-saving method of watching the Olympics! Instead of paying for a subscription for whatever service, I simply watch a different year's competitions on Youtube. #lifehacks #olympics

Who has one or more thumbs and forgot to turn the dryer on this morning and now has a full load of damp clothing?

There's a juvenile Cooper's hawk that's taken up residence in my neighborhood and it enjoys screaming its head off at people. It's adorable!

Today's minor gripe: my dishwasher can hold two pots, table settings for four, four bowls, ten mugs... and ten pieces of silverware. This doesn't math. If I want to run full loads, I need to wash more than half my silverware by hand. I got an auxiliary silverware caddy, and it helps. I can now […]

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

Do you wish a talking animal would show up and give you a destiny and a magical girl transformation, or are you normal?

Sometimes the cost of having a community is making polite noises when your neighbor Brenda asks for feedback about her casserole that made you want to gag

Knitting is so good for emotional regulation It's like: okay, fluoxetine gets me halfway there but then I push yarn around for a bit and I'm on the soothe machine

I've seen about three frames of this and I'm wondering just how much this wishes it were Star Trek. #monsterdon #planetearth1974

Blocking a user should clear them from your notifications. I will take a minor injury on this molehill.

Cat cafés are great, but what about dog cafés? Cats often have short social batteries. The ones I've seen in cat cafés rarely seek people out. They'll get tired of being pet. Dogs, though? Many of them just fucking love people, and you can pet them for hours.

Happy Threshold Day! May your lizards be fecund today! #startrekvoyager

"the Bug Knight from Hollow Knight is like if Tim Burton made a Funko-Pop" how dare you hurt my precious child with something so true??

["Just the Browser" browser AI removal tool review. TLDR: it's a mess] Just the Browser downloads a new Firefox policy document every time you run it. It downloads from the github repository's `main` branch. If the script works today, it could break everything tomorrow, even if you didn't […]

Adderall is weird. If you have ADHD, it lets you focus a bit better. If you don't have ADHD, it gives you mild ADHD.

This is completely unrealistic! The two primary witnesses sitting just across the fence from 20 of their neighbors, and they're not gossiping? #monsterdon #quartermass

[misinformation] Britney Spears releases a statement: "My song _Cold as Fire, Hot as Ice_ is in no way meant to reflect on US law enforcement."

[My conversational skills are immense when it comes to giving flashing light warnings] You could say I have the gift of gab-apentin

There's one bit of Godzilla 1998 that was actually funny and I keep thinking of periodically: when Godzilla is bearing down on the protagonist crew and the camera guy is trying to jam a VHS tape into his camera, and it isn't working, and finally he gets himself to calm down and put it in gently […]

It may sound unscientific, but through Monsterdon we could observe the kaiju. #monsterdon #mothra

Happy late birthday to Wikipedia! It's 25 years old as of the 15th!

[Starfleet Academy S01 E01] Wow, they are going directly into the drill instructor style here. Is that actually good, or is it just psychological abuse that they're replicating from pop culture of military academies? Does Starfleet _want_ to be this militaristic?

It's time for everybody's favourite fluids blog, BIKE GOO UPDAAAAAAAATE It didn't look that different to last update, so I decided today would be pipette day. Let's see what happens! (Previous update here: https://mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/115828306765369735 ) #bikegoo #BikeTooter #bikerepair

Dear lazyweb, is there a way to change Firefox's video scaling algorithm? I've been liking nearest neighbor for nostalgia reasons. #firefox #boostswelcome

Well, GMail just gave me a full screen ad for Google's AI product, and they added an AI button to the Compose window (was that already there?) even when I'd turned off all AI / "smart" features in Settings. The main thing I use this email for is old logins, so I'll have to start migrating those.

I wish my brain would get people's pronouns right more easily. As is, I spend a lot of anxiety and effort to get pronouns right in speech / text. Grumble grumble.

Twitch really does take every possible chance to switch stream resolutions to Auto, doesn't it. I pay for bandwidth! Respect my 480p you goshdarn webbed site!

[fascism etymology grumble] The fasces should be a good symbol of the American myth of multiculturalism. Many cultures sticking together like a bundle of small wooden rods to form a more cohesive whole. Alas.

Why are they starving Daigoro? The poor bean! #monsterdon #daigorovsgoliath

But how do you get a Godzilla sized egg from an iguana? #monsterdon #godzilla1998

i'm quite certain that she found www.egovlink.com/public_docum... (as it's one of the first documents turned up in googling) and took it as too authoritative. the 8X codes vary by jurisdiction, so i think it was really a extremely fluke misunderstanding

[Nazi dogwhistle on Games Done Quick] Fire alarm happened around 1am local time. When the event came back, the host said that the ten-code for a fire is 10-88 and asks for $88 donations. 10-88 is "advise what phone number to use for a station-to-station call related to a specific police […]

Not me playing the same song on repeat for 2 hours this morning, taking a 45 minute break, then starting it up again

Just spotted three flickers in the back yard! I hope the acrylic paint doesn't interfere with their flight

Ok

I still can't understand how anyone would be Team Jacob. Like, okay, you can argue that Jacob would have been a better match for Bella, but he wasn't in the running. Bella didn't want to date anyone but Edward. She wanted a distraction from Edward's absence. #teamedward #twilight

I've started playing Mathdoku, which is sudoku but there are arbitrary-shaped segments that have to add, subtract, multiply, or divide to a given value. The difficulty varies considerably with KSudoku. I'm doing a 6x6 version, and sometimes it'll take me 15 minutes and sometimes it'll take two […]

That Nazi flag was an unpleasant surprise. #monsterdon #deathrace2000

Twitch streams stopped loading for me and I couldn't figure out why in a few minutes of futzing, so I had to make a new Firefox profile just to use Twitch.
