My daughter's co-worker told her "your dad gives liberal...in a good way." I'm old and kids confuse me, but I guess I must be doing something okay. Perhaps it's my jaunty cap.

I think "Passing Kidney Stones in the Target Restroom" would be good title for an album by a middle aged punk band.

Spent the weekend spinning up a Raspberry Pi 4 with AdGuard Home, Mealie, DokuWiki, and Navidrome. All accessible via Cloudflare Tunnel. Thanks to CasaOS, now I can share my archive of local music with friends. And it only took me starting from scratch like 4 times. 😄

Like most states, Vermont does not keep track of how many homeless residents die or what kills them. Using death certificates, obituaries, police reports and interviews, Vermont Public and @sevendaysvt.bsky.social set out to count how many Vermonters have died while homeless in the past four years.

Since I was a teen in the early 90s, I've loved the idea of #selfhosting things. A BBS, forums, galleries, websites, whatever. But while I can follow directions, I'm not great at sorting out install issues. Having a heck of a time this week getting NeoDB running.

Last night I thought, "Gee, I've really been neglecting my Mastodon account, let's see what's going on." And then I'm immediately reminded that I live in the US and the world is bananas.

The Daredevil: Born Again trailer made me realize I never finished the series and never watched Punisher. So I re-watched DD season 2 and now Defenders. And man, the Netflix Marvel shows were GOOD. Iron Fist was kind of weak, but it was still alright.

I don't post often because I only post about VERY IMPORTANT things. Like why is it so hard to find a stellar acoustic cover of Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl"? That song is so good.

A few years back, I've purchased the Switch Sega Ages version of Phantasy Star. I'm finally getting around to playing through and the QoL features are just fantastic. I never got through it in the past primarily because of the random encounters and dungeon mapping. Fixed now and loving it!

This is the most idiotic and depressing thing I have ever read: "But here’s the twist: the filmmakers didn’t capture this sound from dinosaurs." God help us all.

There isn't enough noise and chaos in airports, so I'm thankful for the people who don't use headphones and just blast audio out of their phones for all of us.

Ah, the Orlando airport at 5am.

I don't need much convincing to revisit American Movie. In turns hilarious, heartwarming, inspiring, and depressing. A guy trying to follow his dreams while the deck is stacked against him. https://comicbook.com/movies/news/american-movie-streaming-release-thanksgiving-mark-borchardt-mike-schank/

Finally got around to finishing up a playthrough of Super Mario RPG on Switch. The original is one of my favorite games of all time and this remake is excellent. So nice to see these characters in HD. Absolutely loved it.

This is the kind of shit that worries me. While she's not blameless, this is pressure from the right. Dumb down the populace, control the message, convince them of anything. https://archive.is/20241106013112/https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/national-archives-history-colleen-shogan-f8512bc3

I wore this Robocop t-shirt from LootCrate yesterday and I looked at it and just thought, "Shit. This is exactly the future that Trump & Musk want."
