Photo of a box of Kind bars, with the label “12-bar value pack”

🎶 I was feelin a little hungry / put a kind bar in my mouth / yeah I was feelin a little hongreh/ put a kind bar in my mouth / lots of tasty tasty protein / so that my health will not go south 🎶

As good as Synology is, it’s about 3% as user friendly as Drobo was. I cannot believe the amount of time I waste sorting out network mount issues on this thing.

Bluesky is about jokes now right?

Spouse: “I’ve got a good name of a perimenopausal-menopausal specialist”

My brain, promptly: 🎶I’m the perimenopausal-menopausal specialist / I help ladies with their changing bodies’ needs and interests / I’m a helpful doctor and a valuable practitionist; I’m a perimenopausal-menopausal specialist🎶

And I’m sure the monotony of the soundtrack is important in some way but, as entertainment, it’s monotonous.

The family is watching Severance in the living room and … it’s fine I guess? It’s ‘Lost’ 2.0. I don’t understand why people are going bonkers about the show. It’s certainly not bad but it’s not a generational event or anything. It’s a puzzle box show with a monotonous soundtrack.

I don't understand how--or why--people do it. Yes, I know he's a Bad Man. Bad Man do Bad Things. I'd be worried about finding snuff films on some folks' computers around here.

Just had that very discussion. I'm not checking out. I'm keeping informed. I'm just not going to mainline outrage.

Y'all are going to have to pace yourselves.

One thing about living in #florida nobody ever talks about: it's impossible to find nature. I want to go camping--walk into the woods, find a spot, and camp--and it's incredibly difficult.

I don't want "campsite features". I want nature. It's awful. (And surprising--it's so beautiful here.)

If I could find a way to permanently mute people who use "liberal" to mean some variant of "conservative" because they're edgy leftists who read a pamphlet in college, I'd do that.

I've been disparaged by the right for being a liberal--meaning left--for decades. You look silly.

Screenshot of me muting "Maggie Haberman" and "Nate Silver" forever.

While I'm at it:

Screenshot of me adding "tiktok" as a permanently, globally muted word.

Ahhhhh, much, much better.

I never want to hear another syllable about that stupidity engine.

Now I don't have to hear 750 different videos sharing the same excerpt of "Like a Prayer" during the day, or thoughts on politics that rehash arguments disproven by years of reality.

Also, ALSO, you've had months and months to find an alternative platform. All the handwringing at the end ... oh my god, what did you think was going to happen?

I cannot begin to describe how much I don't care about the Tiktok ban. It's a brainrot platform filled with self-obsessed people who aren't as smart as they think. But it's also of almost zero importance compared to mass deportations and whatnot.

I am married to an actual human and have a child.

Humans don't have a good sense of scale. I'm reading this thing about Star Wars, marveling that at its peak the Empire had 20,000 star destroyers. And I'm like "that's all? for a galaxy??" I'm not sure 20k could lock down our solar system.

Are all of these “DOT sues Southwest” stories happening because enforcement is ticking up or because there isn’t news to cover? If the former, is it because Dems want to paint GOP as hostile when they inevitably drop the claims?

Maybe better to get results yourselves gang??

Jill Biden expresses disappointment with Pelosi: ‘We were friends for 50 years’ | CNN Politics First lady Jill Biden expressed her disappointment with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a new interview with The Washington Post, providing rare public comments about the fractured relationship b...

I like Jill Biden a lot, but this is insane. Complaining about getting knifed because you were *friends*? How do you spend 50 years in politics without knowing friendship has nothing to do with it?

Pam Bondi saying no one in America is above the law is pretty rich given the concern over her willingness to stand up to a presidency that is, by law, above the law.

Don’t get me wrong: I love my Fuji cameras, but now I want to see if an R-series Canon has this same feel or if it feels more mediated like other EVF cameras.

I just picked up my old Canon 5D #camera and, goodness, it makes mirrorless cameras look like toys. It’s still a powerhouse more than a decade later.

The worst part of MS Teams? If you put it on a virtual desktop/workspace, it will not stay there.

Sailboat in one of the inlets in Crystal River.

Did a little walking around Crystal River yesterday. Lovely area.

We used to watch College GameDay every Saturday, and I enjoyed it, despite my loathing of Dudes Talking #Football Endlessly. But then they got that right wing white trash Pat McAfee on and we haven't watched since getting a taste of how stupid he is.

My wife and I couldn't have a more different attitude towards #football. I hate it. She loves it. It's a little more nuanced than that: I can enjoy college ball, and college ball is her love. She enjoys having pro ball on as environmental noise, I can't be in the same room with it.

A sultry recipe: “dip the chicken, one breast at a time, in the egg”

This #recipe is NSFW.

Gizmodo headline containing an awful pun, “The Great Salt Lake is dying, but these scientists have a solution”

I chuckled at this pun.

I'm not dismissing anyone's loss, by the way. There's just big "She's a dog groomer. He collects unfragmented butterly wings. Their budget is $1.8 million." energy with half these stories.
