Happy Friday!

So news reporting if Trump took a shit on the original copy of the Constitution and flushed it down the toilet looks like: "Handsome and intelligent President Trump has minor disagreement with text of Constitution!" ...

Moto Hagio, Iguana Girl, 1996

I joined Bluesky exactly two years ago and I wrote a piece about my thoughts on the platform - how it's been coming along so far and where it seems fated to go. Thanks for reading.

I had one and you know it it predicted ALL of the "small car-body based SUVs" on the road today, so I wasn't a lame-o I was a VISIONARY far ahead of the rest of the market

Sequels made 40 years after the original movie ALWAYS suck. Sorry Spaceballs.

my non-birbing friend offered to join my birbing walk and i appreciated her commentary. and the way she knew more about birds than me lmao

The biggest lie in web apps is "an unexpected error occurred!" I fully expect them to error every time I perform an action and am pleasantly surprised when they don't

My crazy conspiracy theory is that most classic car "barn finds" are 100% fake. Either it's well-known by the person "discovering" it that the car has been there or, and I think most likely, the car was put there on purpose then dusted with dirt and crap

Eastern time zone the worst by far. Strongest concentration of evil. Some people get mad and try to argue with this fact, which is called having an "eastern time zone moment"

I've been told about a million times in the last month "this is authoritarianism!" and look: we get it! We know! Can we finish identifying and naming it and get some action from our elected representatives please?

all conservatives are bots

Coworker: "I know this has been explained before sorry but in the ticketing system is 1 highest priority or is 4 highest priority?" Me: "1 = do first, 4 = do fourth" Coworker: "Oh wow I've never heard it explained that way it's so simple"

So has Trump crossed any of Schumer's red lines yet?

Steve Jobs: You've heard of a telephone. Me: Oh my god yeah. But more right? Steve Jobs: Well this one is like a tiny television too. Me: Holy shit Steve Jobs: And some days when you pick it up it shows you photographs of your dead parents

This is true. I got some plants yesterday from a family that's moving, and the kids had decided the plants were students in a school. The plants have names. They have friends and enemies (not related to their actual biological needs). I received a 20 page guide. These kids have my whole heart.

good luck getting anyone to spend $80 on a videogame when that same price gets you two cubic yards of screened loam

Ok I have to gripe about this... Nintendo announces their new AAA price will be $80 for Switch 2. Crickets. No discussion. Xbox says Outer Worlds 2 will be their first $80 game, and now we get THE CONVERSATION ABOUT GAME PRICES. Every company always gets a pass except Microsoft, it's crazy

Once again I must point out the insanity (atop all the other thousands of bits of insanity in the US right now) of calling the party that wants to send in Federal troops to shoot American citizens the "conservative" party. There's NOTHING more radical than that!

I've probably posted this before, but once more for good measure: the surest evidence that AI features are useless wastes of time is how much big corporations are begging and pleading for me to try them. If they were any GOOD people would NATURALLY adopt them without the coercion!

The best cautionary tale about AI isn't Terminator or Alien, it's that episode of Futurama where they try to build a robot Santa Claus but it declares everybody naughty

I would pay REAL MONEY for some kind of image recognition AI that could ensure I never have to see Elon Musk ever again, it needs to actually check article preview images and screenshots from other social networks. The drooling over every syllable out of that Nazi monster's mouth is PATHETIC!

Street Fighter 2 could never be made in today's political climate. The original game would have been panned for having too much diversity. This is what Street Fighter 2 would look like if it was made today.

Here’s a fun dinner game: add one strand of spaghetti to the cooking water about five minutes after the rest. Whoever gets the crunchy strand does the dishes.

The Flyer. 1/4

I saw this guy the other day and thought he needed a cigarette since he's obviously a private detective who lives in a marina because he's ALREADY A BOAT. His name is Kristopher Clues and he can help you figure out the mystery.
