Please dear Canadians, I know Trump’s an ass. And your Justin is so sweet and handsome. You’d never let the price of your Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream Ultimate go up, would you?? 🫣 #Canada #USA #moisturizing

As far as new experiences go, first time I’ve felt vaguely threatened by my sink.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

It seemed right to invest in some European companies now that Treasury bonds rates are going down. Even though they tax like crooks any dividends. #europe #investing #humor

This is about 500 pages of legalese Paramount Global sent me explaining the merger process they will soon be going through to end up as a Paramount Skydance Corporation (which will wholly own both Paramount and Skydance amongst a few other mergers happening first). And I just like #StarTrek. 😒

This is where I got my shoulders and back all pushed around and rubbed up today. That is going to be sinking in for a few days. 🤤 #osteopathy

I have run out of things and excuses keeping me from ripping my network apart to rebuild with the new UniFi equipment. I suppose it’s blackout time. #networking #rebirth

Ages ago I heard religious people saying, in an upcoming planetary alignment, gravity would rip a chunk out of the sun creating Armageddon. So you better get right with God. Today I heard about a new planetary alignment. Almost as if the sun and planets don’t care! 🙂 #astronomy #religion

I hate how dental floss digs into your finger as you wrap it around. And I’m too uncoordinated to use those dental floss holder devices and get them lined up right. So I came up with this brilliant innovation to use a page gripper as protection. I know! #dental #liberation

Looks like I'm diving into Ubiquiti networking. Was mostly Netgear and home-rolled Linux. Netgear has end-of-life'ed their products after I buy them for the last time. Just ordered a “Unifi Dream Machine Special Edition”. Sounds like a 70's psychedelic sex van. #networking #ubiquiti

This has some excellent details about US presidential powers. I don’t know if it’s available outside Apple News subscribers but I think it must be since it’s a podcast. #uspol podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

In the interest of full disclosure, I poop once a day, shortly after my “morning” coffee. Though “morning” is fairly random each day in clock terms. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to poop only every 3 or 4 days. 😳 #poop #health apple.news/A326LTVmgT7y...

I just donated some money to AP News since they kept saying “Gulf of Mexico”and are taking legal action to get their access back to the White House. #press #uspol apnews.com

I don’t know why this peace lily decided to bloom. I’ve never managed to get one to bloom a second time before. And in the winter? It’s obviously nuts. #gardening #flowers

More than half my property taxes go to fund local schoolchildren. 52.6% actually. And those wretched little children don’t even appreciate education. If they appreciated it, I’d want us to build damn cathedrals to knowledge and reason. Maybe it takes building it first. #education #taxes

Waiting to have sounds beamed into my neck to learn if all that delicious ice cream is clogging arteries to my brain. It would explain a lot. 😄 #medical #sweets

Anyone have experience with Factor_ meals? I’m thinking about subscribing because they cook the meals. 😄 But are they good portions and quality? Does the app let you log your meals nutrition information like Hello Feesh does in iOS? #food

They’re not nice either. And they’re especially scary when you can’t see them in the woods but you can hear their spooky sounds from forever in the distance.

OK well just deactivated my Twitter (X) account. I’d been there since 2009. C’est la vie. It’s the right thing for me to do. 👋

Just finished some midnight WoW gaming. Kicking back for a few minutes watching a Twitch stream. Night yoga is next, then cleaning the robots, socializing with Jack. Then to bed in flannels sheets. #Winter #Flannel #Yoga #Gaming 🥰

Pretty neat Apple. “Last year, Apple released another security feature that reboots devices if they are not unlocked for 72 hours, making it harder for law enforcement or criminals using forensic tools to access data on those devices.” techcrunch.com/2025/02/10/a...

Monopolies are so weird. My 800Mb plan just went up in price to $120/mo. Fury! I went to downgrade to 500 and it’s almost $100/mo. But if I commit to a 1 year contract I get 1,000Mb/s for 2 years for $75/mo. 🤪 #xfinity #monopoly #isp
