I hope you're interested in what I can only describe as esoteric table rubbish that is tinged with legacy web development and which you likely don't need to know anything about, because that is what I'm serving up in my latest article. Enjoy? vale.rocks/posts/table-...

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

It's 12:22am and this is on the TV.

Today's four GHOULISH works of palaeoart! Art by Carol Inouye, Richard Grant, Christian Jegou, and M. Fontaine!

The pettiest hill that I will die on is that if your cool character in a historical novel is rolling their eyes at social conventions, no they're not, eye-rolling didn't become a widely described gesture in English literature until the *1980s* books.google.com/ngrams/graph...

I don’t think this is exactly what’s going on, or all that’s going on. It’s not that Republicans are constructing an elaborate psychological defense against evidence that Trump is a rapist. It’s that they like that he’s a rapist, and they like rape: it enacts the power of the strong over the weak.

I’d love to hang out with this guy. The seal I mean.

Scrolling down the @nytimes.com homepage, I don’t come to the report on Jared Kushner’s traitorous multi-billion dollar bribery scheme until I get to … the Book Review section.

If the celebrity-named, big-eared critter wins, it would be Oregon’s fourth consecutive bat-pageant champion. https://mrf.lu/2HK24

Toby was grumpy and depressed in WEST WING because he was still recovering from being ripped in half by Tyrannosaurs in LOST WORLD.

Republicans being even more Islamophobic than they were after 9/11 while the Republican president is literally in business with Saudi Arabia really is the worst of all possible worlds.

The world sucks, but at least my productivity app virtual pet is scientifically accurate.

I don't care for how this has become almost a joke people throw in along with how he's old and fat and orange rather than a stomach-churning, existentially horrifying thing for a nation to know about its head of state.

Jeez. Walter Koenig, Ministry, and the Crucible. Weirdest rule of threes ever.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

This lovely crow flew up behind me and lightly bopped my mohawk, then posed prettily while I talked to him.

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Had to jump through some hoops but The IBM 5150 has a working Intel EtherExpress 16TP and is connected to the InterWebs ... OK, not the Webs, just the FTPs and Telnets. Maybe the Gophers. 🐀🐁 It connected to its first BBS! 20forbeers.com:1337 LEET!

There's nuance here about "how do we use platforms owned by the fascists". You *have to understand the political purpose of the platforms* in order to use them to subvert authoritarians. For the most part, Americans simply do not. Centrists (including DNC consultants) do not. Major media does not.

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.
