Ruh-roh!

Phone notification from my bank's app. It's telling me I've made a new purchase with Didi for $15.71, leaving my spendable balance at $666.68.

did someone say sadder

hand holds a paperback book entitled “microwave cooking for one.” On the cover is an older white woman with short hair standing behind a table FULL of food she allegedly made in a microwave. The milkshake is my favorite. This is not AI, this is a physical book a friend sent me cuz we saw it online were curious about the milkshake on the cover. Probably pudding but still.

I bet the inventor of the microwave was like "no. Sadder."

Have a friend studying horticulture as a matured aged student at TAFE and with every message I gain new appreciation for @itsgingerbeef.bsky.social

iMessage conversation between me and my friend:

Him: I am reading your messages, I am just too stressed to reply ATM.

Me: Is Ok. Anything I can do?

Him: Learn 9 plants every week for me?

iMessage conversation between me and my friend.

Him: In today's class I became straight.

He's attached a detailed diagram showing how the internal mechanism of a lawnmower works, along with detailed notes.

Me: Hashtag Masc for Mechanics

great news everyone, the shanties are back:

I wish news sites had keyword muting like social media does. Ages ago I remember @news.abc.net.au adding an option to hide all stories about the royal wedding. That was brilliant. They need to bring that back and let people choose to hide stories for triggers e.g. sexual abuse, harassment etc.

Since I clearly missed the boat on affordable portable gaming PCs (e.g. SteamDeck), I've been looking into the cheaper devices for emulation and streaming (Ayn Odin 2, Ayaneo Pocket Evo etc). Then I come across this beast. Someone made a Backbone controller for a whole-ass full size tablet 😂

Product image for the Razer Kishi line of gaming controllers designed to fit around your mobile device, turning your phone or tablet into a portable gaming console.

The base Kishi is shown with a standard smart phone mounted inside it. It looks like an Xbox controller split in half with a screen in the middle.

The Kishi Pro is the same, but with a mid-sized tablet mounted.

The Kishi Pro XL has a full 11 inch iPad pro mounted, which kind of dwarfs the controller bits. It looks kind of ridiculous.

Hate it when I block or mute someone but then come across their account years later and can't remember why. Do I trust my past self? Or was he just being moody?

PSA: It's even worse. Craig not only operated a revenge porn website, but he also was engaging in racketeering by secretly running several shell companies that offered a paid service that would remove your revenge porn *from the revenge porn distro sites he owned*.

Roger (6’5”)@iamtherog.com · 2w ago

Does everyone here know that @craigbrittain.com, who is currently masquerading as an anti-MAGA warrior, was fined in 2016 for operating a revenge porn website? A *lot* of y’all follow him. ⚠️ Marked as unsafe. ⚠️ www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

I MEAN… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A post from guy named reginaldqueribundus: the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are
• the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs
• the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years
• the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and
• humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower
like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and these weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbours who all hated each others guts until like a year ago. now i understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry

There's a version of reality where Meta never thought it was OK to sell pervert glasses for perverts, which would mean that Kmart selling pervert glasses would have been discussed in parliament as a criminal act against common decency.

Anyone who buys these glasses is a fucking lunatic. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Bottom panel is a similar image, a tiny "close ad" button in relation to the fingertip labeled "my finger" which fills nearly the entire panel.

Just had a stark reminder of how many people I've lost touch with over the social media wars. Friends who still only use Facebook, or never made the journey over from the bird site. Planning a Sydney trip, probably mid September, and trying to find all the people I'd like to catch up with.

“Records hottest day on record” You can’t do that to the english language. Sure it’s valid but it’s awkward af.

Is this what straight men need now to go get a haircut? It’s not bad enough that every “men’s“ toiletry product needs to come in the shape of a hand grenade and have big masc sounding buzzwords all over?

Work was thinking of sending me up to a web accessibility conference in Sydney this year. Just realised I can’t, as it overlaps with my tickets to Robyn 🤩 Will just have to book another weekend to go see my lovely Sydney pals I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

God I love the way Terry Pratchett thought 😭 the way he could make you laugh with such simple turns of phrase.

Reposting with alt text 😂

Twitter thread started by Sam Altman (CEO of Open A I):

Cool use case of ChatGPT work I heard last night: connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.

every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

Shit like this is why I’m glad I don’t drive any more. Road rage aside, the attitude some drivers have that speed limits are mere suggestions (and law-abiding drivers are impediments to their Glod-given right to hoon) really pisses me off.
