At this point I have done this so many times.

When the boss says "follow the instructions exactly as I wrote them" and I do:

We’ve officially reached the point where hearing your spouse’s voice on the phone isn’t enough proof that it’s actually them. That sounds ridiculous until you realize voice-cloning scams are already here. Have a code word. Call the person back directly […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Once again amused by my #dog, who continues to be started at the fact that the thing he just shoved with his snout actually moved.

Saw a suggestion for when you're stuck finishing a book you're writing, which is to re-read it and... that is EXCELLENT advice. Anyhow I'm re-reading my book and found a part I wrote years ago where there's an actual Nazi (more precisely Aryan Brotherhood) character whose name I kind of […]

One of my favorite pastimes on social media is blocking Trump supporters. Say something that supports him, I block you. Click the like button on a post supporting Trump, I block you. So as you can imagine I see a lot of profiles of guys holding dead fish […] [Original post on social.taupehat.com]

I have an idea for a paper that would totally win the #Ignobel prize but I'm too lazy to do it: a statistically rigorous study that sums up the amount of time saved across the world by people not having to rewind things anymore.

If somebody were to take a bulldozer to every single brick-and-mortar chain shoe store that doesn't carry wide widths beyond pretty much just New Balance leather tennis shoes with velcro straps, it wouldn't make any difference whatsoever to my ability to find shoes to try on that actually fit.

RE: https://flipboard.com/@associatedpress/entertainment-qju7ofhsz/-/a-DFeqFI-WQtu2HYqclPquvA%3Aa%3A3199720-%2F0 Yesterday I was working out and saw Law and Order SVU on one of the TVs, it's got Mariska Hargitay and Ice-T on there in the office discussing a case in front of a yarn board […]

Supreme Court ruling has dropped. Injunction stands! @heidilifeldman

Man, that's just sad.

Here's how I imagine the conversation went: "Your time is up. You're eighty years old, you've had at least one stroke, your health is failing, your final term ends in two years, and you are in competition with Vladimir Putin as the most despised person […] [Original post on social.taupehat.com]

[Police Brutality] The Sonoma County Sheriff's Department has a long and sordid history of having to settle excessive force lawsuits, and when you see some of the deputies it's easy to see why. Anyone who's spent any amount of time in a gym knows what people look like when they're on gear and […]

At least this one is solvable, even if a bit too much so...

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Riot Gnome Pin. Jeff Bezos originally wanted to employ gnomes at Amazon warehouses, but he didn't realize how strong their unions are. If you tell a gnome he can't take a bathroom break your warehouse is getting torched. https://collabs.shop/bitnjj

I feel bad for people who need diesel for their work vehicles. On the other hand I am enthralled at the impact this has had on the coal-rolling douchebags around here. Gasbuddy, filtered for diesel fuel:

This is the perfect collection to build a rat-rod from honestly. Get a 350 from the junkyard, bolt it all together, put something a human can sit on inside the tub and you're golden.

I - a #sysadmin - have spent the better part of the past two decades of my professional career working in and around #datacenters It's like an antihipster thing: I was into it before it was uncool.
