Just posting this excellent quote which has no bearing on recent or current events in any way shape or form . #releasealltheepsteinfiles

“Historic US company also offering ‘12-month lease’ – an annual supply – of pre-ground coffee for under $40” Perky Maxwell House viral ad takes on housing crisis as ‘Maxwell Apartment’ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/01/maxwell-house-ad-campaign-apartment

One of my staff had their MacBook compromised. They clicked on what claimed to be a captcha on a web site they had previous visited a few times. He thought that the captcha was odd but since he encounters so many of them daily he didn't think about clicking on it. Almost instantly Crowdstrike […]

Oh boy... Uhm... Yay science?! I guess... sorta... I will say the kid has a bright future. 6th grader's science fair project answers age-old question: 'Do cat buttholes touch everything?' ""Non-toxic lipstick was applied to their bum-bums, they were then given a series of commands (sit, wait […]

@RecDiffs Naked swimming and traditions. I remember a tory, maybe 20 years ago, where a private school ditched latrines and let students use modern bathrooms. One father objected. He attended the school and believed that having students clean out the latrines was character building and fought […]

@RecDiffs The comment on not being able to find the source of high pitched sounds are so accurate. 5 smoke alarms hard wired to power but a weak batter will set them off. I can't tell even which floor is the beeping. Have to remove all 5 alarms, remove batteries,, replace alarms one by one. Then […]

@RecDiffs Home renovations. My brother & his wife bought a house in Westchester NY. As they did renovations they discovered that a massive amount of renovations were done by previous owners. Every time the building inspector came to check the work they would discover 3 things that had to be […]

@atpfm 1977-1978, 1 programming course each year. Xalgolw. University of Michigan. Punch cards and later paper terminals baby.

[US Pol, US Violence, Shootings] Public violence is different from personal violence. An uncomfortable aspect public violence is the importance of how the crimes are covered. Violent individuals are willing to kill, to maim, to often sacrifice their own life for the fantasy of what "the world" […]

Im am noting more typos in my writing and im not sure I can blame autocorrect.

I'm now getting emails from Technology for Workship at work. No we don't need a new audio system. We don't have one. We publish a magazine. sigh

They were counting in the bailout when they voted for him. https://newsie.social/@TheViking/115266429803844650

@catzilla Did you post about a tea you found that helped you sleep/knock you out? I remember you posting it but I can’t find it. Perhaps I am misremembering, but if I am correct can you post the name of the tea again? I think my son would benefit from it.

I am now putting potential vendors on our DO NOT BUY list if they are aggressive in calling me. Hey HPE, having 5 different people call me multiple times each is not acceptable. I get calls that I immediately send to voicemail. That same number immediately calls again, possibly for a total of 3 […]

I thought maybe it was time for a judge story. This is a story of the time a federal judge made fun of me, repeatedly, for passing out during a cross-examination. /1

This is a GREAT video about why farmers voted for Trump. It REALLY opened my eyes. It points out, with evidence, that the farmers of today KNEW what Trump was going to do (Trade war) & voted for him anyway. They expect free money. Also, they wanted cuts in environmental regulations, & got them […]

In a bad mood so I deliberately instigated a fight between wife and kid2 about whether cats get Raptured

I get boycotting Disney for doing a bad thing. But if they undo that bad thing and we continue to boycott, we lose leverage. If we're going to boycott no matter what they do, we cease to be a factor they consider when making decisions. This is why we win battles but lose the war. Be strategic!

Y’all - I just heard there’s going to be raptors tomorrow! 🦅 so excited!

Privatizing everything is the goal. #Oligarchy #fascism

[US Pol: Border Tsar] Could one bribe politicians to have moral fiber and compassion?

[US Evangelicals] Lots of "don't be greedy" "don't exploit others" "don't think you are better than anyone" "don't trust anyone who says they know the exact letter of God's will." I still kind of have those values. I'll think "maybe I shouldn't go on a vacation, maybe I should help people with […]

I took my cat out for a walk. It was long for him but that was his choice. All was well until we briefly encountered another cat. After that Sam went full asshole mole and was making threatening sounds and attacked my ankle quite severely. Good thing he has only one canine tooth and I cut his […]

Just got finished reading this excellent story from Bloomberg. It's based on interviews w/ the convicted Scattered Spider hacker and sim-swapper Noah Michael Urban while he was in jail in the months leading up to his 10-year prison sentence last month […]

Today's enemy, Clipping Path in InCopy. Time to do it in PhotoShop.

They want us to be like outdoor cats. Such a good analogy. Outdoor cats have less chronic disease and obesity than indoor cats. So is there "something" about "nature" that's good for cats? Outdoor cats only live for 3 years, indoor cats? live for 10 years or more. **Outdoor cats don't live […]

I was an opinion columnist on RACE, GENDER, human rights and international affairs. It was literally my job to comment on these issues. Your personal discomfort and fear is yours to own.

Nylanderia steinheili is one of the most annoying, horrible and too hairy ants in the world. Their colonies are always a disgusting mess and all other ants and bees avoid them out of embarrassment. Their legs are spindly and their mandibles weak. Their queens the worst and very promiscuous and […]

2/ Why any Dem supports ANY Trump nom for ANYthing is beyond me.

So 6 GOP lawmakers in Michigan and working to ban porn on the Internet in their state. To ensure that it works all VPN traffic would be made illegal. Beside the stupidity of such a ban, it would mean that people who depend on VPNs to connect to their offices would be unable to work from home […]

The best way to get people to stop calling you a fascist is to amp up being a fascist.

1. I believe Charlie Kirk said some truly hateful racist and misogynistic things. 2. I'm not glad someone shot him. I think killing people is wrong. 3. I don't don't think his life and ethics are anything worthy of veneration as a martyr. 4. Penalizing people who don't agree what he stood for […]

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

My new book of cartoons is out soon. I am bringing it to SPX/BETHESDA TORONTO, NEW YORK, CHICAGO, MONTREAL and QUEBEC CITY in the next two weeks. Visit www.tomgauld.com for more details and preorder links!

I'm trying to install iOS 26 on my iPhone—an IT person must be ready to support staff—but the remaining time for download varies from 30 minutes to 5 day, often over a day. I want to move my MacStudio to macOS 26 for similar reasons, though we provide staff Macs and will not allow for an […]

I used a Liquid Glass onscreen keyboard for the first time this weekend, or perhaps I should say the first time I noticed, I've been running iPadOS 26 on my iPad and have been happy. I thought the screen was having a problem due to a blue streak on the screen. After hiding the keyboard I […]

It's Sunday, so here's your Jesus-related cat content. #cat #cats #catstodon #catsofmastodon #humor #humour

[Day Time TV, US Pol, Chilling] You're not supposed to kill them. You are supposed to wash their feet.

[Day Time TV, US Pol, Chilling] Am I that radical for thinking this is just way out of line? Monstrous? Just kill the homeless people, Brian? Who else? Listen I don't even get being mad at someone who's homeless. I thought conservatives liked "gratitude" isn't Brian grateful that he's not […]

All the news sites are stating that Trump is claiming Kirk is dead, but not stating that he is dead because they don't have official sources. Now I'm hoping Kirk is alive just to prove Trump wrong.
