That'll buff right out.

As you're worrying about the wood, a thin metal washer over the nail might be useful when you're getting purchase on the nail. Protect the wood and let you use less ideal pliers as you're on the washer if you lose grip.

Welcome home, Integrity!
Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption:
"The highest quality video of the moon was just released…
so beautiful
* Artemis II"
It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.
The Passion Fruit
Mucinex: the Gathering.
Big HOA energy that one.
I've heard a few songs by Lydia the Bard before, but her new album Woods is amazing. Some tracks could easily be Florence + The Machine (Lungs era) or other major artists. The title track evokes the hollars of Appalachia, and sets the incisive tone for the whole album. Music to light fires by.
The Nissan fob I had for a rental the other day had panic button that was easier to hit than the trunk release. I blame Apple.
Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪
I have 2 sets of monitors (2 different manufacturers, but each pair is matched), I got 0.0048 on one set and 0.0042 on the other. I also noticed during the exercise I desparately need to clean my main monitors :P
I have a copy of this somewhere. Sadly I never did get it signed.
My formative years were in a Texas Catholic church run by a Jesuit pastor in the 80s. My dad was vehemently against liberation theology and it was framed as an evil communist corruption of the Church. The Knights created a whole org around fighting its spread in Texas.
Catechism totally comes out with the UnrealTournament/MK voice in my head. :)
If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

I see myself a cross between a Tachikoma & Totoro.
I mean, I have all the right glassware for wine, scotch, cordials, etc, but I only keep the scotch glasses in my office, along with beakers. They're closer ;)
I'm reminded of a scene in Young Sherlock Holmes where he is practicing violin and makes a mistake and screams and is asked what's the matter? He says "I've been at this for weeks, I should have mastered it by now!"
*drinks red wine from 400ml beaker*
What?
Legs for days, pens for miles, lore for eons.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Matrix's high bar is annoying, but I'll do it if my BBS crew who went to discord go somewhere else, but the rest of the large number of servers? It will depend on the inferrance algo. Discord knows it has to be permiscuous as possible, but it remains to be seen.
I lost a friend today.
One I had planned to visit this year after many years apart & failed attempts. We'd not kept up with one another, but fuck it still hurts a lot. So sick of loss.
Since 2021: parents, job/company/industry, ability to work reliably b/c MCAS+burnout, stability, safety.
So Tired.
Image of a round and fluffy Pallas Cat in the snow in front of a wood structure with their paws resting on their thick tail.
Pallas Cats use their tails to keep their beans off the snow. :)
Hot take: IPAs are the Malört of beer.
This is so asking for a multistory loft wall format. The enormity of it requires life size to take in.
As long as you do the emotional labor prior, you should be fine.

Hey if you live in the greater Seattle area and you approve of Mayor Wilson's plan to ban ICE from using city property, vote Yes in the Komo poll. It's being flooded by right-wing bots.

Democracy isn’t restored by good intentions defeating bad ones. Historically it returns when new binding institutions emerge that can again convert truth into constraint and participation into legitimacy
It sounds like ICE is ramping up in Washington over the weekend. Stay alert
