This app constantly asking me to reenter my password is a major factor limiting how much I use it.

Zora says I should take fewer pictures and do more scritching.

Some folks look badass with night vision. Upon testing, I am not one of them.

One of the most accurate lawyer memes of all time.

So, there's lots of Canadians out there engaged in actions they think are entirely legal... but the government says "Wait, I don't consent." youtu.be/YxX3U23u46I?...

Okay, because my ability to plan things is crap, meetup is tomorrow (Thursday the 23rd) at the Piazza Lounge at the Tuscany. 7:30 PM Vegas time. If no one else shows, I'll be drinking alone, which I also enjoy.

Business pigeon.

Subtle signs you've arrived in Vegas.

Who almost made us miss our connecting flight while doing the Nexus interview? Yeah, that'd be me. But... Almost.

Also, under Runkletarianism, all airport security stops will be required to play the theme song from "Papers, Please" on repeat.

At the airport, they had a security checkpoint. Because it was overwhelmed, one employee went down the line checking boarding passes and routing people around the machines. ...another employee then stopped them all and yelled at them for going around the machines.

Travel time! Our adventure begins with four hours of fairly bad sleep, just to make sure I'm at the top of my game. Uber driver has a mustache ornament dangling from his mirror. Not sure what sort of omen that is. But this trip begins under the sign of the moustache.

A wrong turn leads to impromptu bonus date night. This is actually what Mrs. Runkle ordered, but it's way too spicy for her. So, we swapped.

Date night.

It's 1:40 AM, and I'm up late writing an email trying to convince the Crown to drop charges. Client is 100% innocent. I should be trying to sleep (sauna tired me out), but I can't while I haven't taken the step. Pro bono work, and this is where I want to be.

My biggest peeve with Bluesky thus far is that Bluesky appears to be pathologically unable to remember that I want to stay on dark mode.

So, we've got Honey, Karen Read, and Cody Wilson on the agenda. I guess we can talk a little bit about the elephant in the room as well... *gestures vaguely towards the government* www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p-2...

7:30 PM Eastern: Join me to go over the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni competing complaints. www.youtube.com/live/GoSbRYM...

People who play instruments on planes should be asked politely yet firmly to leave.

Yes, I have an irrationally strong (but otherwise rational) peeve about the whole "Frankenstein was the monster" meme. Victor created a life, was horrified by it, and then later opposed it when it was a murder. Creature decided if it couldn't be loved, murder was the answer.
