My laptop is old. I get a different Internet than you.
Could have gotten both flu and COVID shots today, but only got one, not because I am a wimpy little baby, but because I am a wimpy little baby who wants to be able to go climbing tomorrow. (I'll go back next week for the second one. Kaiser makes it very easy.)
Former Trump supporter in media and/or politics? Opinion discarded. It's that easy and nothing of value will be lost. You helped create the dumbest stove-touching in living memory. Sit there and shut up while we try to clean up after you
It is hilarious to me to hear someone driving down my street absolutely blasting music and then suddenly, just as loud: "AT THE STOP SIGN, TURN RIGHT ONTO SAN PABLO AVENUE"
Apparently over the past 365 days, I've logged the second most climbs on Kaya at both Berkeley Ironworks and Great Western Power Co. This is less about my climbing abilities (advanced beginner at best) and more about the fact that not enough people use Kaya, which is super helpful.

I don’t usually meddle on the writing side of Jeopardy!, but tonight I called in a favor for our Bluesky viewers.
Please read @georgespies.bsky.social 's entire thread. Then, please: vote for me this November. I'm running to make buses work not just for those who are dependent on transit, but for everybody.
George Spies@georgespies.bsky.social · last wk.I have A LOT more to say about this, but I think it's most important to recognize that Joel Young is a tall pole in the tent of the AC Transit culture of steady decline. Most people in management, and Young and his allies on the Board will tell you that ACT is a system of last resort. 1/x
I, too, think computer is going to kill us, but not that way.

I went and I clicked that link and I read that there article and boy I gotta say I have me some questions
Luke Ontario@coolhand.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is a disastrously stupid decision. If I post an app here, and someone has to download it, sideload it, and *then* wait 24 hours, that’s useless. Meanwhile, Google doesn’t allow me to publish to play store until I incorporate an LLC, so the takeaway here is I am done with Android development.
Direct hit. Might as well as have said "North Carolinian who moved to California and has tried most of his life not to sound so regional, but isn't fooling anybody."

I read this post -- just the words below, before I even clicked the link -- and the first 23 years of my life immediately rang inside me as if struck like a bell.
Jeremy Markovich@ncrabbithole.com · 3w agoWith a ton of help, I tried to tackle one of North Carolina's greatest mysteries: Why are there so many Chinese restaurants next to Food Lions? I learned a lot! www.ncrabbithole.com/p/there-real...
Is there work on AO3 that involves Marc Andreessen getting pregnant and if so is it tagged "MprEgg", is a question I will not find the answer to.

The world of Logan's Run might have been onto something. We might quibble with the specific cutoff and the consequences, but there is a point at which maybe we should be done hearing from someone in public life.
"produced without the benefit of inspection" is incredible phrasing, almost Victorian in its euphemistic gentility
Black Aziz Anansi@blackazizanansi.blacksky.app · last mo.Today is the 8th day of the school year for OUSD. It's been a slow start, at least for my 4th grader. But the school nurse just sent a whole-school message with the subject "Back to School Head Lice". Now we're cooking.
“If we ban sports betting, the people at those companies will lose their jobs” good
Absolutely garbage day at the climbing gym. I'm going to need both a poultice _and_ an unguent.
Our age of bronze is falling asleep, because that was a snooze-fest.
I have typed and then erased a dozen versions of this post. I'm struggling to convey the heartbreak of a person withholding a child's precious special stuffy. If someone had kept my daughter's "Foxy" (actually a red panda) from her, I would murder them six times and still have rage in my heart.
Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · 2mo agoNEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)
