Having to talk to my Google Assistant far enough away from my phone that Gemini can't fuck it up.

The backup beeping noise has been almost entirely replaced by the white noise backup noises, which are superior. But I'm working on an even better backup noise: screams of the damned. You're gonna want in on the ground floor of this one.

Saw a big tree this morning. Big like woah.

Werehouse: it's a person who turns into a house under a full moon.

Currently watching my son and my nephew on the beach, no one else around, as they fight over the digging rights to the same 1sqft patch of sand. Seems to sum up a lot of human history.

People just assume Jesus poured water into red wine, but scholars know it was actually a bright Chardonnay with citrus notes.

awhile back my partner who's usually more sensible about this kind of thing was like "what if we set up Alexa to voice control the electronic-controlled gas fireplace" and I was like "We are NOT giving the robot authority to start fires"

27 bees. My son has collected 27 bumblebees. It's quite the conversation piece.

One from the #crochet archive! I love the colour of my chunky storage basket, made during pandemic lockdown. 🧶

Finally watched Backrooms. It was good, but I'll have to see it again to form a full opinion. When I told my wife I learned she was completely unaware, not just of this movie but of the whole concept. So... I'm taking her in cold. Honestly I'm envious of the experience she has the potential to get

Happy Saturday. Go install Linux if you haven't yet.

Sweeping declaration: if your science info video tells me "according to XYZ, ABC sHoUlDnT eXiSt" in the first minute, I'm clicking off and shunning your channel forever.

4yo seeing a Halloween cauldron: "Look! A witch's pot! It's what witches use for their soup."

I made a handy map for the future.

Guys, I saw one in person today.

My friends will think nothing of dropping $1200 on a Macbook so they can use GoogleDocs and scroll social media. But I, an intellectual, have only spent 20 years learning the ins and outs of Linux, distro hopping and shell scripting, so I can use GoogleDocs and scroll social media.

Inspired by the 11th card of the tarot, Justice, this braille sticker symbolizes the importance of working towards a future that uplifts everyone. shop.eff.org/products/la...

Congrats team USA for winning the GOLD in the FIBA World Cup!

Another of the series came in the mail today! Dammit.

My father in law believes he can aim his pee perfectly through the toilet seat. In fact.... he cannot.

After much mucking about in BIOS settings and chrooting in boot sectors, I gave up and just did the installation again. Then it worked. But why? I dunno but I guess I learned some stuff along the way and I have a working Slackware install.

Been having terrible luck with computers lately. I thought my hard drive was crashing but then my mobo died. Plugged the hard drive into a new machine and got going again. Turns out the hard drive was indeed crashing. It crashed. Now I'm putting Slackware fresh into a different drive.

Congratulations to Aryna Sabalenka for finding so many infinity stones.

Dear [every fucking app apparently], please keep the confirmation popup from appearing DIRECTLY OVER THE NAVIGATION BUTTONS. I don't need to contemplate the accomplishment for 5 seconds while the box slowly fades.

Alright people, all I want is a music player with speakers and a USB or sd card input. Not a Bluetooth speaker, not a rEtRo Cd PlAyEr with an aux input, not a USB player input/player with just a line-out...... Like a boombox that takes physical inputs. Surely this must exist!

O morning tummy, wherefore grumblest thou? "A donut? After midnight? What the fuck?"

But how the hell am I to go to bed, When I've got Andor _almost_ fully binged? For only one installment now remains.

Quick peek at my dark fantasy game, Crimson Rest. I’ve been improving the spawning system to make it more coherent with the rest of the game. ➡️ Wishlist 'Crimson Rest' on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3993140 #darkfantasy #indiedev #gamedev #psx #godot

My phone has this cool new feature where it doesn't do things it used to be able to do, because those things now require AI.

That's weird because it FUCKING WORKED FOR YEARS UNTIL TODAY GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

The local mall isn't entirely closed, but this is some backrooms level liminal shit right here.

This small blue perfume flask from Jericho, in ancient Canaan, dates back to 1650–1550 BCE. Cosmetics and toiletries were highly valued in many ancient societies, with both men and women wearing eye make-up and using perfume, and even using various forms of hair dye. #ancient #artwork

New reading goal: depth rather than breadth. Death of Vergil intrigued me immediately so I decided to back up and re-read The Aeneid first. Very excited about this new (2019) translation.

Spent an unconscionable amount of time in the planning for this one.

Note to self: next time use fresh lime juice for the ceviche.

Just recording this for posterity: my 3yo today sang about the "itchy, bitchy spider." Perhaps the classic is due for a rewrite.

I've had plenty of years now to get over the anxiety of sharing my stories and poems. Not getting any younger so here goes. This is a short horror story about a secret restaurant. open.substack.com/pub/ususadam...
