The death of the Mac Pro was fairly inevitable once the Mac Studio launched. R.I.P to a real one.

Tracy Kidder, Author of ‘The Soul of a New Machine,’ Dies at 80

Aw, man. I read The Soul of a New Machine back in the 80s, and it was incredibly good. Absolutely eye opening to a certain kind of nerd. I don't think I have ready any of his other works, but perhaps I should make the effort.

I have reached "How much could it possibly cost to purchase the house I grew up in?" levels of missing my dead parents.

Fucks sake.

Have you considered: Video Games? And also Books With Spaceships And/Or Dragons On The Cover?

Fuck. I have just seen this. I sincerely wish I could help. I hope something comes up.

I feel like a Pentium II with a 21” Viewsonic monitor and a copy of Age of Empires would fix me.

I am watching a video of someone restoring a GSXR1100 that they scored for $1500, and it just needed the usual been-sitting-for-a-decade-or-so cleanup and service to get running. That was my DREAM BIKE in the mid 90s. I am seething with jealousy.

This is going to be hard to hear, but:

Bryan Adams released "Summer of '69" in 1985. A similar nostalgia-based song released now would be harkening back to the distant and bygone year of 2010.

“What were you like in the 90’s?” asks social media. Why you asking? Are you a cop? Come back with a warrant!

I have just realised that “A Plate of Mac and Cheese” fits the fantasy book title format du jour perfectly nicely.

My sweet son is 16 years old today. Absurd. How can this be? He continues to be a delight to me.

Annette is currently making a tiramisu (for child-related birthday purposes) and man, when I was a kid, I thought a tiramisu was the PINNACLE of sophistication. It was right up there with a shrimp cocktail and breaking out the Bernadino.

Our old cat Otto died in 2020, but I still find myself occasionally glancing at the spot on the deck that he used to favour, expecting to see him sleeping there.

They decided to import LNG instead.

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

For real though, Chris Fleming is the best and funniest comedian I have seen in recent years. If you don't already know his work, check it out, I implore you.

Burger King Called Out Over Dystopian New AI Program That Tracks If Workers Sound 'Friendly' Enough Who asked for this?

I would genuinely rather every Burger King employee begin their interaction with me by saying "What the hell do you want?!" and end it by shoving a tray at me and saying "Here's your burger, fucko" than those employees having to put up with this shit.

A reminder that while this is very much a dark timeline, it's still the case that the TV show "Glee" was over and done before "Hamilton: An American Musical" hit the culture. Things could have been worse.

The tell will be when he mentions to the press that a lot of people don't realise they're two guys

What do you think the odds are that Donald Trump thinks that Ayatollah Khamenei (very recently assassinated during Operation Epstein Distraction) is the same guy as Ayatollah Khomeini (died because hella old, hilarious funeral involving involuntary corpse crowd-surfing)?

I just did a minor household chore, and after completing it, my back doesn’t hurt and my heart rate seems normal. Amazing what seems like a victory to me these days.

I am, of course, going to have a rest before attempting a second minor household chore, I'm not a FOOL.

The book I'm reading is well written, but uses "smirk" to mean "small smile". The author is American, where maybe "smile" means "I can see all of your teeth including molars plus both sets of gums" but my dude, no. A smirk is knowing. A smirk is a bit malevolent. The word smirk carries some baggage.

The idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” clearly predates the invention of LLM-based image generation.

"Sound check! ... Mic so deep..."

Deadly fungus that will 'eat you from the inside out' is quickly spreading around the world Aspergillus fungus thrives because its genome bends easily to new pressures. It lives on soil, grains, animal feathers, even coral skeletons.

You know what? Fine.

I have just created a new music playlist called "Nostalgia Time!" Now to populate it with music that makes me feel a way.

Also, you can do it while fat, and kinda goofy looking, and wearing a Sisters of Mercy t-shirt. It still works. Trust me on this.

These weird "mogging" dudes on the socials. "All I do is work out. I paid for surgery to make my scrobicular arch 1mm thinner. My inter-nostril distance is maxxed."

Bro. Have you tried just talking to women and also being funny? It really works, and is WAY less effort than what you're doing.
