Fuck the Artists

Reminder: it would be trivially easy for a mere handful of Republicans to stop all of this.

Listened to Slipknot's Duality last night for the first time in a while. That song still doesn't disappoint in the hype department, especially when cranked up

A picture of a Bosch drill being held up, with a cut off wheel attachment designed for a Dremel loaded into the chuck. Safely sandals shown as well.

So my Dremel died earlier, but I still had some screws to cut down.

It wasn't very fast, but it did get the job done

This year's unique ornament comes from a little shop in downtown Glendale called Cactus VHS. @techconnectify.bsky.social and @cathoderaydude.bsky.social would be proud

Comic. Panels up to the 10-year point are grayed out. New panels since the Ten Years comic, which chronicles the first ten years of PERSON 1's journey with cancer: (1) [two people in bed] PERSON 1 (woman): One more chapter? PERSON 2 (man): Don’t we both have to get up early? PERSON 1: Nnnnnggggh PERSON 2: Sure, good point. (2) [many people wearing masks, walking while looking at graphs on their phones] (3) [birds landing on people] PERSON 2 in beanie and scarf: Hah! They like *my* seeds best. PERSON 1 in scarf holding phone with a bird sitting on it: Wait, how do I take a picture of this one?

Picture of Arizona green tea cans at a has station

Did you know there's different versions of the Arizona cans? Circle K has a version with their logo on the rim. Shell still has the $0.99 ones!

“Feel like getting a sweet drink but don’t want to spend more than a dollar. I haven’t had Arizona Ice Tea in a while!”

Sucks that Parsec is basically broken while AWS is having it's problems. Good thing Sunshine isn't affected

Sucks being on vacation and get added to a group chat of people that are trying to figure something out. I'm watching the blind lead the blind, and it'd be SO easy to just grab everyone's hand and guide them straight to the answer. But, I'm on vacation, I shouldn't be reading anyways

Overhead the other day...

If someone asks you "are you in line?" what they actually mean is "would you please do better at standing in line?"

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Pre-tired for the day.

An opened can of Japanese Apple Fanta

Tried some apple #Fanta for the first time today. It's pretty decent

Engine bay of a 2023 Mazda 3 Turbo. It's a mess of hoses and wiring.

A Trabant in a McDonald's parking lot in Germany

Videos don't always do justice to convey the size of some things. Got to see a Trabant like @agingwheels.bsky.social has, it makes my Mirage look like a monster truck

Good news! I saw my first Dacia Sandero while in Germany. James May would be proud

Burning bridges is not a negotiation tactic

This is like when I plug two phones into each other to share the charge
