The wife is threatening me with getting this for my birthday and I'm having a hard time not admitting I WANT IT SO BAD.

People are criticizing Tim Walz about tampons in schools, but tampons are recommended frequently for emergency kits. They absorb a lot of blood and expand. Perfect for bullet wounds. Ya know... in schools.

Which is just a fucking sad statement when you think about it.

Oh lord, there goes my money.

Hey y'all, the easy way to keep this thing running is to go #CoSoPro. Websites cost money (compute, storage, networking, etc). @th3j35t3r keeps the lights on, but we can help because we find value here.

This baby pangolin wants algorithm-free, ad-free, social media the user can manage.

You should too.

Also you get a number of bonus things when you go pro that are pretty neat.

Do it for the pangolin.

Maya Rudolph has got to be peeing herself laughing right now.

I'll be surprised if a GOP congressperson, governor or one of Trump's talking heads makes it to next week without using the term "race mixing".

White dudes mansplaining what constitutes blackness is the most 2024 GOP thing ever.

Wired actually doing some journalism out here these days. JD Vance's venmo contacts are... interesting.

Back on the hellhole Xitter site apparently they've introduced little raining flags if you click on certain #MAGA / #Trump links. And you can't get away from stickied trending topics of the same.
Because that's what their engineers should be doing with their time.

Also, this.

Dammit I love a cool drink in my hand and food on the grill.

Note: I didn’t say “barbecue” because that’s different and I love it too. Will get into that in the coming days.

I live in a non-battleground state so there's no chance my presidential vote does anything, which is both a source of comfort and anxiety at times. But I'll still drag my body across a field of broken glass if I have to in order to vote in November.

Stay safe #Texas #Beryl

I joke but seriously, if you're in all that... stay safe.

A. I'm not sure which is greater, your bigotry or your stupidity.
B. ...and somehow it would be okay if the number was 300k?

#Xitter is a hellhole.

Things seem to be going fine over at #Xitter.

Hey guys, let's see how #Xitter is doing at stamping out antisemitism!

Oh, taking ads for it. What a fucking dumpster fire.

Love the absolute 1-2 punches the far-right got in the UK and French elections this past week.

I love it when I do things like open a chat window, e-mail, whatever and start writing something and get distracted.

Empty e-mail with just "I bought the" in the body.

What did I buy? Who was I telling about it?

Me: But... but 6 is more than 4 so I'm consuming it faster (I always was good at math).
Pharmacy: You can try calling Insurance.
~Calls big mega insurance provider, 45 minutes later~
Me: So you understand that the dosage is up.
Ins: Yes.
Me: So I need more.
Ins: Not approved until the 4th.
Me: That's two days away so can we....?
Ins: No.
