Our society's issues are not complicated.

We've got a bunch of people saying "everyone should be treated with respect, whoever they are" and another bunch of people saying "no."

From health care to guns to racism to homelessness to religion, everything boils down to that.

@Kelly_and_puppers I've just never had much success with it. I did not use "the safety pin trick" but probably should have

Weather's nice now. Maybe it's time to bust out the implements and defy some laws of physics

Today I achieved the impossible: A drawstring from a hoodie that came out in the wash was successfully re-inserted into the hoodie and full hood squish functionality has been restored. Pix, to prove it happened.

Happy to all my friends who resist by being themselves.

@bit The rectangular switch was the old part, and the circular switch is the new part, but that's my soldering on the new potentiometer, yeah :)

@bit sadly no. That was my work -- alpha 500K pot, but cheap (yet awesome to work with) cloth push-back wire, fresh for this project!

@bit when it comes to soldering, I'm a toddler

I love that Nike is offering the space hippie series by reusing scraps and recycled materials, but I feel like I one-upped them by buying a pair used

Wondered why these spendy pickups didn’t sound good, but swapping in new pots and a switch solved the mystery. Rewired in a non-fancy configuration and it sounds so much better!

Imagine a supermarket, filled with all kinds of food for all kinds of people.

Now imagine YOU have decided that, to shop there, you MUST eat EVERYTHING the market sells. When you taste something you don't like, you threaten to boycott the market.

That's toxic fandom.

I am tired of politicians who use the word "let's" -- as if the burden is on me to affect change, when I've elected them to do exactly that. Now the problem-solvers I voted for won't solve critical problems. Not "can't." WILL NOT.

I can hire & fire with my votes, but I can't compel them to work. POTUS' role as leader is to remove obstacles.

I can call my senator, but Prez can call that senator INTO THEIR OFFICE. "We're not leaving this room until we have a solution."

Let's see that.

Okay I just checked it out again to be sure and the New Found Glory cover of Go West's "The King of Wishful Thinking" is still essentially flawless.

Haircut and pool chlorine means we’re going au natural — the blue will return in force when it gets colder

@Ishihara Well thank you, but I'm just making a bad pun

@PeteSkerritt Absolutely one of my all-time favorite games

I have failed to be hired by that studio in the past, but the soul still burns

wow I blocked this out for years but I now remember being locked in a small attic with my grandmother's giant collection of Santa figurines but I guess that's why I'm still claustrophobic
