Okay, model train concept: What if instead of DCC, go with direct Wi-Fi. Could even use something like NFC to designate track blocks. Maybe even get real fancy, put a thin strip of flat magnet material under the track and use a hall-effect sensor to figure out where you are.

rhps is better trans rep than That One Movie

bathroom bills were considered a hugely bigoted overreach a decade ago and the backsliding on trans rights is the result of a sustained propaganda campaign by elites the pendulum can swing back the other way if you try, and anyone who is not willing to do so is showcasing their own bigotry

It's real disappointing to see the current US opposition and anti-authoritarian movements just, like, wholesale adopt shitty AI art for posters, announcements, propaganda, whatever. Like, the way you're using this stuff is exactly part of the problems you're opposing!!

we could all learn from the seagull’s clarity of purpose

Sometimes, self care is choosing not to open the bag labeled, "Dead Dove"

also I hate that in practice, "ethical" is used to mean "state aligned"

*direct-to-garment quality t-shirt voice* i participated in economic blackout day 2025 and all i got was this lousy shirt

The government has systematically killed and discredited leftist leadership at home and abroad, and the right and center have all the money. All of it.

I've somehow ended up with a Nix issue that results in zero search results for any two terms in the error I'm seeing

I love the calibration process going on here youtu.be/zz59e1wWyVc?...

doctor visits for trans people are just quicktime events

1.5x speedup - that's great! 2x speedup - amazing!!! 5x speedup - somebody fucked up

This is contempt-filled drek and I'm surprised to see people platform it. "The kids can't think anymore" is EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE SAID ABOUT STACK OVERFLOW btw

I think there's a subgenre of Internet drama caused by 19 year olds who think people making $17 an hour are reaching beyond their grasp, but it masquerades too effectively with other Internet drama to be pulled apart effectively

Few things make me feel as much like an adult as knowing what postage to use for that weird card

Kinda tired of cis women I meet grabbing my hand to performatively coo about my nails. This is 2 week old chipped nail polish I did myself, don't do me the condescension.

do you ever think about how thermostats are cybernetic implants for your house

nothing says "fully enshittified technology" like GenAI integrated into $15 keyboard drivers

Knitting newsletters are putting out their "transitional spring knits", probably time for me to finish up winter 2023's knits.

Neat: Judge Reyes is from Louisville, kinda!
