"Younger people will have trouble picturing this, but #Google used to nurture an image of being the “good one” among megacorps; they championed #openstandards (except when they didn’t), supported #opensource projects (until they backstabbed them), and used language that corporate wasn’t supposed […]

Odin and I ran into a very autistic-coded queer-coded American child about twelve years old who’d literally just gotten off the plane today to move to the Netherlands. Their father didn’t say why they’d decided to leave, but. Yeah. The right call.

I assume this brand-new bike path is so curvy to intentionally prevent blasting straight through it at high speed, as there are a lot of pedestrians and equestrians in the area too. Also… yep, still as cold and wet as it was in January. But at least it’s […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Odin was off-lead to play with the neighborhood hyperactive herder dog, which went great until a very unlucky Pomeranian wandered into view. Odin somehow got all four paws tangled in the Pomeranian's lead while the poor tiny thing howled and cowered, believing that the end times had come. Odin […]

someone brutalized me on chinese social media and said (of a photo where you can see my Switch setup against my red living room wall) my house looks like the Switch Store if that's the case, then Nintendo should send me, y'know, a Switch 2 for demonstration purposes...

I'm on day four of an insomnia crisis. Yesterday I was at a medical center for several hours to get some very unpleasant tests done on my nervous system. I missed Odin so much while I was there. I was so glad to come home to him. I was so glad open my eyes […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I’ve mentioned before that there’s a poodle in this neighborhood who despises Odin and pulled the elderly lady walking him to the ground to chase Odin. Fortunately, they don’t live in our building… … but I opened my front door to take Odin on a walk and the poodle was sitting right there […]

General PSA: don’t apply for a job at Canonical. Do NOT apply for a job at Canonical. Treat the blatantly artificially enormous number of job openings they post as the mirages of trickster fae. They are unhinged. Mark Shuttleworth is unhinged. They will drag you through the mud, disrespect you […]

Reading Classical Chinese is like: Here is a strictly factual account of this nobleman's life. He was appointed minister, but got accused of some stuff and thrown in prison. The king's favorite concubine promised to help him if he gave her his awesome fur coat, but he didn't have the fur coat […]

Today we encountered a wolf hound who wasn’t much smaller than Odin. He tolerated a bit of snuffling, but when Odin tried to cuddle him, the wolf hound snapped and attacked him for realsies. Everyone’s okay (if only because Odin’s fur is so thick!) but that was a very scary ten seconds The wolf […]
