Why I "Like" so many posts- 85%- I agree/ lol/ wow!/ cute! 10%- I don't understand, but you seem happy about it 5%- I actually meant to like the thing you're reposting and kinda looked thru your skeet, but I'm not gonna remove the like because it seems rude.

Why'd we stop doing ringtones?

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Reading the Times, the Atlantic, etc, you have to start noticing how much they influence the permission structure for neoliberals, centrists, and technocrats. It's all working out the neurosis of accepting fascistic capitalism an inch at a time and framing it as reasonable and inevitable.

we understood the algorithm and through a WhatsApp channel we coordinated how to wreck it in our favor. regain visibility for our cause. people ~needed~ to know what was at stake if Flávio won

Oof. Was still just "eff jackie" when I was listening.

I still don't know why we waived Taelon Peter and traded Kam Jones. Last night would have sucked even with them, but esp with our relatively shallow guard depth, I just don't get why we made room for the Smith kid when he's ages behind Kam or Taelon in development with no obviously higher ceiling.

If I end up a ghost, I'd be stoked to just go around and pet birbs all day. Look at how cute this is!

I happened to notice an early voting location is pretty close to Oldest school. On a whim, just now I voted early. Totally smooth, well staffed, in and out experience. I've never voted early in my life. Doesn't hurt to keep the algorithm guessing. 🙂

Alex Gibney told me that everyone he knows at HBO says "MUSK" will stream there in January, and they are making concrete plans about how that will happen... so if it doesn't happen, you'll know that Musk's investment in Skydance was why here's the clip: youtu.be/LSCoQbiTR98?...

Trying to edit text in the alt field on android is? I'm either more dyslexic than usual or twice I've had it inputting my text backwards. Typed black, get kcalb. Maybe I need to update the app. Like it's fine if I get the word order right the first try, but if I accidentally a word? Good luck. 😬

Hooked up a new switch at work yesterday and since it racked in, I've got the optional feet on my desk. Like instead of trying to talk me into a pop socket, if phone cases just started shipping with molded "feet" protruding like a mm or two from the back, I could just hang onto it?

Every gothic horror:

Aliens should’ve been called Ripley’s Believe it or Not

Why I save posts 70%- I'm interested, but now is not the time. 20%- "You must be logged in to view this post." 10%- aimed for like button and missed.

Change in Headline

Not to take anything away from the Pelis, but I was surprised (derogatory) at Kelly Oubre last night. Guy looked way more in sync in preseason. Maybe they changed his job assignments to Nesmith's or something, but whatever was changed didn't seem to work out. Continued to be impressed with Q.

they should make an evil version of paul george named john ringo

BIG free throws from Quentin Jackson in the dying moments.

Wife: What is "Dazin"?

"We cannot get out. We cannot get out. They have taken the bridge and the second hall. The pool is up to the wall at West Gate. The Watcher in the Water took Óin. We cannot get out. The end comes soon. We hear drums... drums in the deep. They are coming"

Here's my summary of why websites are offline right now, and why nerds are laughing at the number 4. I've attempted to explain the jargon in use, so those interested but not working in tech have a chance at understanding what's going on.

Me waiting to pick up Youngest from band practice just got less boring.

This shit seem like a Onion headline.

Omg, put it on my effing tombstone. thebulletin.org/premium/2026...

Is there $20-$30 worth of work I can do for anyone? Animate something for ya? Fix a 3D thing? Render out your logo made of cheese?

Great fun to be a part of the terrific "Star Wars at 50" symposium at Science Fiction Studies, on my usual high horse about how good the end of Return of the Jedi is and how sad it is that the franchise has been so completely unable to honor it... online.ucpress.edu/sfs/article/...

Love the Quentin segment, love the Nance segment. youtu.be/iU5zUrcL45Q?...

As someone who was administered ketamine several times for depression, this dude is on ketamine.

I don't know how my phone lens got so dirty, but here's an inadvertent impressionist shot I like to call "Gus in a chair."

So the same league that found 25% of its players who died from '21-'25 had CTE, had a guy start with blood clots in his lungs?

If you run a multinational corp who has outsourced virtually all IT responsibilities in every domain possible to save bucks and you get a ransom demand from a famous ransomware group? My advice as a user on your shitty network is to pay them. You don't have the people to fix it anymore.

There's a reason why this "totally unpredictable" alignment is coming into place after many of us were screaming it would happen for years. It's a traceable, understandable, predictable thing. Anyone saying otherwise either isn't paying attention or they're getting paid to do it.

The coverage spread to 60 Minutes, NBC, the New York Times, and more. Ivy has said the company received threats and hired security for its factory for several months. Exidy's official line was that players were hitting "gremlins," not humans.

Me dragging a tab out to drop a new window near the top of the screen Windows: Hey! Where can I put that new window for ya? (transforms window into a column) How's this boss? Me: no- Windows: (quarters all the existing open windows on that monitor) Me: Why tho? I left a space here- Windows: Halves?

The other trick is to get a PAC to buy up pallets of books, put them in gift bags for event attendees or offer "Donate $75 and get this book" incentives. All written off as a PR expense for the PAC and all that money gets funneled to the author via their oversized advance from publishers in on it.

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall
