Watched a bunch of 80s movies, and I think the reason that society is crumbling is because it's being run by the sort of people that William Atherton would have played. Real Genius and Ghostbusters at least

This is where I pull the fuse on the whole thing

Weird Al is an example of how someone can be funny without being cynical, without punching down. He has fun being funny. He told us GenX brats that it's okay to enjoy things. The cultural impact of that is lost to time I think. But the cynicism of the 89s/90s was pervasive. Joy was revolutionary.

I was happy to participate in this video from Chris the Producer. He created an LLC, hired an actor who built a miserly profile online, and flew a phone via drone into a ritzy area to try to influence the prices derived from data collection. And it worked! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCSw...

Can barely see Detroit across the river.

This is what it's like in Northwestern Ontario. I'm heartbroken and worried about my family and friends. The fires are everywhere, and the smoke is nearly opaque for many of them.

The Antikythera Mechanism, recovered from a Greek shipwreck dated to ~60 BCE, is the world’s oldest known analog computer. Built around 100 BCE with 30+ bronze gears, it accurately predicted eclipses and tracked the Sun, Moon, and planets over 2,000 years ago. ⚙️🌍

Solar's sharp rise continues. As of April 2026, global solar capacity now exceeds 3 terawatt. 1 gigawatt → 1 terawatt: 20+ years 1 terawatt → 2 terawatt: 33 months 2 terawatt → 3 terawatt: 19 months

I was second in line at a store the clerk was stressing, the woman in front of me just wanted to leave, the receipt printer wasn't working. I said "I'm a computer tech, I know the trick." Yelled "DEMONS OUT!" and slapped it. Immediately started working. Inspired by The Far Side, naturally.

I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

I couldn't help myself

Hey, I know that guy!

Having finished the Rachel Peng novels by KB Spangler, I've bought all of her other novels. I've burned through the first 6 books so quickly. It's great finding a new author who I click with right away. You can buy them at an unreasonably low price direct from the author theagahfstore.bigcartel.com

The first real computer I ever owned. I upgraded it with a 20 meg external hard drive.

Seems like a good day to remind someone who doesn't live online that there's no such thing as a purely technological solution to a social problem.

In Canada, hernias are more deadly than homicide (source: www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/t...) If governments want to ACTUALLY help and protect their citizens: • Improved healthcare and health education • Access to mental health and other social services • Maintaining a right to privacy

This is how they caught my eye, also blowing through them at a fantastic rate 😄

I just absolutely blew through the Rachel Peng series by @kbspangler.com - hoping there's one more coming? now dipping into a book I thought of randomly for some reason and wanted to see how it felt since I read it as a kid, Freckles

I'm through the first three Rachel Peng novels by @kbspangler.com . Solid detective/scifi with good characterization and world building. They're available as non-DRM files direct from the author: kbspangler.com/books/ I love finding a great series to dive in to that already has some heft to it!

BOOKS

The Rachel Peng novels follow OACET Agent Rachel Peng, the first cyborg liaison to the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police. DIGITAL DIVIDE (Book 1, 2013) is available at: Amazon Kindle (US) Amazon …
