The first episode is live! I dig into the mission of the show, talk about the security vulnerabilities that hit last week, give an update on my switch to Linux, and take some listener Qs.

I of course loved him as Chekov, but playing Bester on BABYLON 5 really showed his range. You really forgot the guy ever *was* Chekov in that role. RIP Walter Koenig.

Picross is so good.

Me after listening to this podcast.

I spend far too much time online and it’s my central life challenge to figure out how to disconnect more thoroughly but every once in a while the internet delivers me something i can get unabashedly obsessed with and right now it’s the Muppets-Meets-Tom-Waits musical stylings of Groggy Jones

They knocked down my town's bowling alley to build a tire shop.

They canned her.

Went and saw Spirited Away in the theater tonight. You notice a lot more of the fine detail of the art up on the big screen.

Patching and rebooting my computer lately is an exercise in "what is Firefox goofing around with now?" (this time it was mostly extra gradients and new icons for grouped tabs)

Randomly paused a Super Battle Golf video and this image kinda goes hard.

remarkable improvement tbh. adding namco edm, j-pop and rock does a lot

This is great until you get mistaken for a holodeck escapee.

It about a year an a half after getting back into cycling again for me to nearly be doored. Thankfully I spotted it and was able to swerve into an empty lane.

Room empties out at the UN as Netanyahu begins his speech.

I feel dehydrated and have a headache. I should get some water. *Makes an iced coffee at 7:30pm*

Last week my dryer broke and I had to replace its heating coil. Whirlpool sent me a letter about signing up for their $9.99/mnth appliance protection plan. So in the 5 years I've had it, that would have been just under $600. My DIY Repair was around $50 in parts and a few hours of my time.

If Oregon Department of Transportation was thinking about the future of transportation we'd have more of this and fewer billions poured into freeway expansions.

Two good books and a door stop. Still probably buying this.

I AM CHANGING THE NATURE OF HUMANITY....INTO FUN!!!

We didn't beat the rain home from the first stop of our grocery trip. Drying off for a bit before heading out, and of course the rain is stopped. Probably start up again once we are back out on the bikes.

I'm so excited to announce 'Definitely Fiction,' a new podcast about books! I'm making the show with my good friend Sam Parrish, and we're kicking it off with a series on The Vorkosigan Saga, a fantastic collection of Sci-Fi novels by the great Lois McMaster Bujold. More here:

I actually beat a level in Blood Dungeon. Feels like the game finally unlocked.

One of my best friends has been without work for some time. Now that he is nearly back on his feet is looking for some help bridging the gap between unemployment payments and the first paycheck of a new job. gofund.me/2503a39d0

society is so complex and everything is so interconnected. (yeah, i know, i'm a deep thinker.) for example. good EV charging infrastructure in the USA can't exist without social services, healthcare, drug treatment programs, living wages, and other steps to disincentivize selling scrap copper 🥲

“You couldn’t make up a better allegory for the disproportionality in state funding between policing and public housing.”

Day 227: this puzzle seems weird

When a truck is lifted and has big stupid tires, this is what I see.

please please please please take this survey and tell the legislature/odot that you want to see public transit, street safety and road maintenance prioritized over needless billions towards freeway expansion. www.cognitoforms.com/ODOT2/ROTVSu...

This soap smells exactly like a poppy seed muffin from the grocery store. So if you want a goofy Muffin Man cosplay where you have to make people sniff you here ya go.

A data center was just shut down in Wisconsin after the town council refused to have private talks with the developer and told them everything would include public approval That’s how it’s done, folks

Big fan of a burrito so large it replaces ever other meal of the day.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

@gameonysus.bsky.social Do you own a Gameboy Camera? I have been looking at getting a GB Operator for a while because I think with it you can use a GB Camera as a a webcam. You gotta join the next stream in GB Camera mode.

I want to know the actual material cost of manufacture on a diabetic test strip. Shit should be on a shelf to grab for free but instead it’s ten hours of dicking around with insurance that doesn’t want to do anything for anyone.

Searching for info about this cellular outage. But Mint Mobile has a cute fox mascot, so if you search Mint Mobile on Bsky you get several explicit furry fan art images on the first page of results.

Please take a moment out of your day to marvel at the balletic poise, calm elegance and graceful athleticism of the panda.

I just realized something. He's been hiding in horses for 24 years.
