So... fired by next Thursday?

I will not enter the work salsa contest and submit store bought salsa to see if anyone can tell. I will not enter the work salsa contest and submit store bought salsa to see if anyone can tell. I will not enter the work salsa contest and submit store bought salsa to see if anyone can tell.

Finished all three. The Hollow Places - cozy cosmic horror A House With Good Bones - cozy neighborhood horror Wolf Worm - ....WTF, @tkingfisher.com (but still really good)

I just want to make sure I understand this correctly: The Onion, known for fake articles, put up a fake article about @bencollins.bsky.social (on purpose), and Alex Jones, who hates the Onion, fell for it?

I want to know what they think they're going to sue @kenjennings.bsky.social for. I mean, I know it's going to be something derp as hell, but still.

(Work) *this happened today, but I forgot to put it up until now* User: My file won't open in the program it's supposed to. Me: What's it supposed to open in? User: Power BI. *goes to their computer* Me: Well... User: Is it bad? Me: Did you consider actually installing Power BI? ~clickity~

I have gotten 6 voicemails on my personal phone today. The phone did not ring once. They all just went straight there. Not a single one of them was important.

(Work) CW walks to my cube: Can I toss these cables? *sees multiple RS232 to USB and RS232 to ethernet cables* Me: 😃 Me: No. No, I'll take those. (You have to be a tech to understand this.)

Let me get this timeline right: Trump nominates Dr. Erica Schwartz as director of the CDC, because she's not batshit crazy, and he ferally recognizes that more batshit crazy will not help in the midterms. Then, a few days later, Hegseth cancels vaccines for troops.

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

This AU version of GoodFellas is... strange.

It's not a great start to Kash's lawsuit against the Atlantic when the initial filing is screwed up and puts the suit on hold. Though I don't know what happens if they don't manage to correct it by the end of the day. As it's just addresses, it should be easily correctable, though.

But it's not a war. Don't call it a war. Unlike all the wars he compares it to.

Task for #lawsky today: Come up with a name (name only) for a federal anti-SLAPP bill where that name's initial letters spell out - K.A.S.H.Y.A.P. E.g., the same way that "Expeditionary Amphibious Tactical Marine Ejector" spells out E.A.T.M.E.

That's not a real na... IT IS?

It's very charitable of Mark to say that Matty's head is in 'sand'.

Has anyone considered the feasibility of a 250 foot "bouncy" arch? It would fool Stinky. You all know it would.

So.... Luigi is now a verb. thehill.com/policy/techn...

Somewhere, in his hidden secret grave, Oliver Cromwell's head is spinning.

Ok, Bluesky: What is your "Vance got excommunicated" drink going to be?

Place your bets (not Kalshi/Polymarket): How many days after today will Youtube continue to play various "file your taxes" ads?

He really didn't take that Australian interview well.

*looks at clock* Yeah, I can have another 200mg of caffeine. I won't have any problem sleeping tonight.

13 days after verifying Jerry.

They Might Be putting out a new album. *puts finger to ear* No, no, check that. They are putting out a new album.

(Work) I sneeze three times in quick succession. *long pause* Me: No bless yous for Giacomo? ~over the cube wall~ Bless you, Giacomo.

I'm not an expert on these things, but this does feel like something you do right before a whole bunch of additional corroboration comes out. Like, say many of the additional 20 accusers making themselves known.

CW: You can't really judge Trump for depicting himself as Jesus. Me: I mean, if anyone can here, it's me. CW: What, why? Me: Because I've been Jesus on at least two different occasions, celebrating the world not ending as described by Harold Camping. CW: That... that doesn't count! Me: Sure, Jan.

You know what the difference between God and a doctor is? God doesn't think he's a doctor.

That part of my brain: Hey. Me: Oh no. TpomB: Don't be like that. I had an idea. Me: Your ideas are why I'm like that. TpomB: ANYWAY, my idea. Religious themed French restaurant. Me: ...And? TpomB: They serve Judas Escargot.

J. R. "Bob" Dobbs is weak on particle physics! (I wanted to get in on all of this, and the others were taken.)

Holy crap, @rahaeli.bsky.social, check out the replies on this one. If that's not a bot, I don't know what it is. (Spaces to keep from linking because.... woof.) fxengineer. bsky. social

The latest Brave update seems to have broken, somewhat, how Plex talks to things. Pausing has stopped working.

~doing computer cleanup (e.g. clearing tabs and closing programs)~ Me: Why's this notepad open? ~looks~ It is a series of 10 four digit numbers, not in any easily discernable order, though there is one repeat. And I've no idea what it's for / from. So... I'll leave it open.

Orban lost. The accent mark as well as the election.

Depeche Mode predicted this.

WHAT THE DEEP FRIED FUCK? I get having collections. But a million pounds of fireworks?

Damnit...

So that's all of them, then?

...I forgot to drink my lunch.

(Work) Every printer here has a very visible label on it, including the room number. User: Hey, the printer in <personalized description of the space without room number> needs <part>. -- Also, it usually doesn't need the part, because they can't tell the difference between "low" and "replace".

(Work) User: I got this notification on my computer that it's going to be locked down. I've attached the screenshot. What do I do? *screenshot specifically says to contact <help desk> to address the issue* Me: Please (~for the love of God~) read the notice again, it tells you want to do.

Hey, @tkingfisher.com, I just got The Hollow Places, A House With Good Bones, and Wolf Worm. Which of those is the least bad to read before going to bed?

For about a month, before I left Twitter forever, I got the same ad hundreds of times. For some car addon. But it was from a different advertiser every time.

I'm going to tell the next generation that this is a Flux Capacitor.

One of the reasons I like reading @edzitron.com:

Now, I'm not the best at math, having only had two semesters of college level calculus, and one each of differential equations, numeric linear algebra, and 500-level statistics, but... The 1970s averaged over 1900 murders a year in NYC. 2025 had 309.

My Russian and Bulgarian roommates were the ones who informed me I was being investigated by the Secret Service.
