If you use ai generators, I hate you.

Dazzle-ships in Drydock at Liverpool, by Edward Wadsworth, 1919. It’s a topic that appears to have fascinated Wadsworth. I love every single one of his takes on the subject.

Things my husband has said to me with a completely straight face and zero irony: "It wasn't orange; it was more of a browny-red color."

Just two days until Rufus Wainwright!!!

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

Oooh, Copper has released the 2.0 version of Charlie, its electric induction range. It now can plug into a normal 120V outlet! Bigger battery, more power. NYC is gonna buy a bunch of these for public housing, help bring the cost down.

news consolidation is bad, of course, but the consolidation of arts and entertainment where everything is driven by the bottomline and controlled by tasteless ghouls is also bad!

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Growing up in rural PA, we had our power taken out twice by raccoons who climbed the pole and tripped the breaker on the small transformer mounted there. One was while a friend was over and we were watching Young Frankenstein. Thunder crashed in the movie, and all the lights in the house went out.

@mattbaume.bsky.social My husband and I were getting our haircut, and our older (also gay) hairdresser just used the phrase, "cha cha heels". Thought of your John Waters video because of your confusion over the term. Apparently it does get used in the wild!

Nancy 9/7/26 … Happy Labor Day 🛠️

The stochastic parrot does not know where the baking soda comes out of the box. (Of course, the stochastic parrot doesn't *know* anything. But it especially doesn't know this.)

No running here.

@operahockeyguy.bsky.social you reposted this, and that song has now taken up residence in my brain.

Some notable omissions that I hope to fix in the upcoming years. I was lucky to have two teachers for parents, which allowed us time to travel via RV in the summers. And my husband and I are working on seeing more places together, now that we're in a good financial situation.

How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

I guess I'm blogging here today.

#1, hands down. Bert was my guy growing up. Nervous, fastidious, fussy, and with weird hobbies and obsessions. Not hard to understand why in retrospect. Bert stuffy went everywhere with me when I was small. I had the Bert and Ernie Side By Side album on tape. How could I pass up that opportunity?

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Vast and Trunkless Leg of Stone, Standing in the Desert from classic poem Ozymandias.

There's already so many ways to play N64 games without supporting a fashy little freak's pet project. Do not buy the war crime n64. aftermath.site/war-crime-n64-...

This was a couple weeks ago, but when we took a drive up into #RMNP on my birthday we saw this young bull moose near the cabin on Old Fall River Road. This is at about 10,800". Very neat to see him! (Shot with a 5x telephoto lens, of course. I'm not approaching a fucking moose!)

As to Haiti, remember that this is happening because Justice Sam Alito — joined by all of the Republican SCOTUS appointees — insisted that Trump's racism isn't racism. www.lawdork.com/i/203137816/...

The Great Lakes submariners will want to hear all about this.

YEZTUGO (lenacapavir) is a new injectable form of long-acting PrEP that only requires 2 doses per year to prevent HIV infection, and 3 million people are expected to get access to the drug by 2028 via The Global Fund. Sounds great, right? (1/5)

@celestevmoss.bsky.social Nice photos on your profile! They look very familiar. 😝
