The Onion finally got infowars https://theonion.info/

People just aren’t ready for the conversation about Starfleet Academy and Discovery just not being primarily intended for an audience eye of straight, white, millennial and older dudes. And how much *other* Trekkie fan audiences could finally relate to the characters, finally.

I’m rewatching old Star Trek episodes to see which ones pass the B’kdel Test: (1) Two named Klingons (2) Talking to each other (3) About something other than honor

I had a dream that I feel sums up my feelings about working in tech right now. I was working in the office (IRL I’m full remote) with my coworkers when new management took over. The boss was a young, aggro guy with wild hair who went around proselytizing about something, dunno what but I didn’t […]

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A #fediverse linktree. It’s designed for two types of people: Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool par: it's a Trojan […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

PLEASE SHARE I'm looking for a band, I believe UK based, they were called Trigger for ages, then changed their name to Auraluxe I believe. They had a song called My Best, another song called Fly. I don't know much more but I'd love to hear those songs again, perhaps we can find a band member

In fact, I am willing to offer up to five hours of my time — free — to any public sector team or nonprofit anywhere in the world that needs help figuring out what makes sense and how to respond to top down pressure telling you to implement AI. And if they’ve already chosen something for you, I […]

A member of my extended family is working on an Android app designed to provide good audio access to Project Gutenberg. To submit it to the Google Play store, he needs at least 20 testers to use the app regularly for 14 days. Testers can be blind or sighted, and both are wanted so their […]

Any book can make you cry if thrown correctly

Slow down, put down the tool, and reason about the problem. What is it that you have, and what it is that you need to have when the work is done? What do you know about how those facts fit together that can get you from where you are to where you want to be? The best trick I had in my toolbox […]

Cruised around Boston Harbor today and saw some winter wildlife, including seals, scoters, eiders, and a snowy owl (!). Phone camera not suited to that task but the scenery in general was very moody and cool. Thankful it was a “warm” 30ish degrees on the water.

Idea: I'm aiming to run a #bostodon meetup april 19th, tailing onto the start of the #swapfest season. Do folks want to have a Boston #mastodon meetup before that? Anything Big and hella nerdy going on that we could tack on to? Like, #boskone (SF con @ #seaport) this weekend or something […]

bread AND circuses? in THIS economy?

I need to consult confidentially with someone with extensive experience helping people maintain Section 8 housing eligibility in New York. I'm looking for someone with direct knowledge of "If you do <x>, the government will do <y>" for lots of different scenarios. I don't want to just do a […]

Lately I’ve been having trouble keeping my spirits up, for personal and general (gestures wildly) reasons. Therapy aside (doing it, thanks), what do y’all do when you need a quick shot of something good to keep you going? Is there a video you like, a dad joke, a pet photo? I need a deeper bench […]

I recently returned from an incredible trip to Antarctica and I need everyone to look at my penguin photos.

Late to the party no doubt but I just heard the track “Hot Saturn” by Sungazer and it is my new favorite thing. Like… Earthbound and Rainbow Road filtered through jazz and metal. So weird, so much fun, such great energy. Why am I only just learning about these guys?? 🪐👾🎸 #music

[CW parental death] I’d never appreciated until my Dad got sick and then passed ~2 years ago exactly how many Star Trek plots involve paternal loss. When my siblings and I were at home in the evening (between day-long hospital visits) we would watch ST TNG or DS9 episodes together. And boy, it […]

I was nervous after having watched / suffered through Section 31, but so far really like Star Trek Academy. I watch Trek to feel hopeful and it did just that. #startrek

The wizard sleeps soundly. The little cat plays with a mushroom.

It takes a Canadian pundit to nail it down this well: Occam’s kazoo: When it comes to Trump’s behavior, the most plausible explanation is the stupidest.” https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-trumps-behaviour-most-plausible-explanation-stupidest/?intcmp=gift_share

/3 No, but seriously: here’s a thread from the last time I got out of a hospital. I mean every bit of it sincerely. There’s nothing to be ashamed of if you fight depression or anxiety or anything else, and there is always hope of being better. Believe! bsky.app/profile/kenw...

New Year’s lemon pigs, ready Good riddance 2025, don’t let the door hit you on the way out #nye

I don't suppose anyone is flying from #miami to the Northwest (#portland) in the next few weeks who would be willing to meet and escort a street #dog for us... Feel free to boost this unlikely request. That's the only place they can be sent at this time of year from #aruba, apparently.

It's a youtube short, but pretty good if you're a Siouxsie-and-the-Banshees and Hello Kitty fan (and who isn't?): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fn9DxKq-MHw

I dunno how everyone else is doing lately, but when I went to make coffee this morning I ladled the ground beans directly into my mug

This is an “only in America”* kind of embedded ad. Someone somewhere decided that people need to see ads for MRIs, and that they need to be enticed by false urgency and discounts to get one *jesus, I hope so anyway

The Internet was made for things like this: a website that looks like Gmail, that shows you the worst of the Epstein emails https://jmail.world/

also you dont have to be perfect or even good at a thing to enjoy it

The number one priority in life should be you and those you love. It's so easy to take the good things, people, pets, for granted. You get caught up in the noise and then one day when that other part of you is no longer there, the void is immense and you'll give anything to have them back. 4/

fun fact: bats can run on all fours and it has the most playful wyvern vibe ever

"man, why do I feel like shit?" *drinks water and immediately feels better* "...HOLY CRAP DO PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS???"

I want to do a supper club where I cook various forms of pasta and noodles and invite people to come to talk to me about their impasta syndrome. Then after you eat the pasta, you’re cured of it.

Good morning! I am looking for contract work. If you have 10-15 hours a week of work on a well defined technical project (‘we need to move 6 websites by this date’, ‘we need to hire a team to do an infra migration’, ‘we need to complete an accessibility audit and figure out next steps’, ‘we need […]

Men will run for Mayor and complete their term rather than go to therapy

Back to teaching at the University for applied arts at Hannover. We started with drawing music by Steve Reich.

In the past few months there’s a Statie who’s been parking in creative aka illegal parking spots around my neighborhood. Blocking fire hydrants, pedestrian crossings, you know. I and others have repeatedly reported the issue; no one will be surprised that […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

Random recommendation: if you are in need of physical relaxation and alone time, floatation therapy is 👍 I did one last weekend, enjoyed it immensely and thought “maybe I’ll do this once a month” Anyhow I’m going again tomorrow 🌊

Some “Thiel worshippers” on the scene!

Let's do a #boston #mastodon in-person #meetup this month. Follow the #bostodon tag for discussion. I propose #swapfest at #mit in #cambridgema on Sunday, mid-day the 21st. Thoughts?

Tired of hearing about my quilts? I didn’t think so! Here’s an interview I had with PRINT Magazine.
