I will vote for a pile of leaves before I vote for Tim Kaine.

I made the mistake of signing up for Xfinity at our new house when Verizon FIOS was available. It was an extra $40/month, but dealing with Xfinity support right now is making me want to pull all my hair out. About to walk through the closest store I can find and demanding they cancel so I can switch

Well don't I feel stupid

And have the spots covered and well lit. And allow payments with just a normal card instead of requiring an app and an account. And more fast chargers with better traffic flow design instead of in some random corner of a parking lot.

Just finished Death Stranding (the first one). What a weird/amazing game. Finally get the hype.

It just straight up doesn’t work for me on Xcode 26 beta 4. Even quick help/documentation seems to rarely work either. I’m hoping it’s a beta issue that will get fixed.

Just completed Bloodborne for the first time. What a game.

I used to serve pizza to Keith Urban and salads to Nicole Kidman. I also told Robert Plant where to get his hot bar food weighed. (Yeah I used to work at Whole Foods in Nashville)

What do you use to see the text at the bottom there? I’m assuming it’s some setting I don’t know about?

In Sudan, where children clung to life, doctors say USAID cuts have been fatal The Trump administration’s cuts to USAID had an immediate and deadly impact in war-ravaged Sudan, according to civilians, doctors and aid officials.

NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk.

“When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.”

The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children.

Don’t ever forget.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

The stoplights being on top of the sidebar is also visually confusing, as if they apply to the sidebar alone.

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap.

The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm.

Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

A T-Mobile form for first and last name. My last name is rejected with the error “Please enter a valid last name“.

It’s 2025 and I can’t sign up for a T-Mobile free trial because their form doesn’t think that a two character last name is a valid name. 🙄

This makes me think of that scene in Mythic Quest with Ian and Dana in his self-driving car. “So, you trust yourself over a machine with instantaneous reaction speeds? Most people might say that’s pretty arrogant.” “Yeah, well, most people don’t know how to drive.”

Yeah I can only side project on the weekends. And even then, sometimes I need a couple days of brain-off.

Not to even mention the fact they were using a very outdated, forked version of TCA.

There’s already too many people pretending like Covid doesn’t exist anymore. But at least vaccination was like a minimum thing people could do. Instead now these new strains will start spreading like crazy, and even the more vulnerable people who do get vaccinated will still be at higher risk.

FDA sets new COVID booster guidelines requiring trials for approvals for healthy adults The U.S. Food and Drug Administration plans to require new clinical trials for approval of annual COVID-19 boosters for healthy Americans under 65, effectively limiting their availability this fall to older adults and those with a higher risk of developing severe illness, FDA leaders said on Tuesday.

nathan fielder (narrating): in order to better understand airline captains, i have to know what it means to lead. so i spent the last year in disguise as an italian cardinal named pizzaballa with a plan to get elected pope in the next conclave. i recreated the sistine chapel in a studio warehouse,

RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill. Public health, modern medicine and disease mitigation will suffer under RFK Jr. because he sees sick people- not sickness- as the problem.

A couple weeks ago, I wrote that the MAHA movement does not want to eliminate chronic illness- it wants to eliminate the chronically ill. Since then, RFK Jr’s actions and statements have only reinforced my belief that his HHS will target disabled and sick ppl.

Finally rolled credits for Blue Prince coincidentally on… Day 33. (The next game I’m starting is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33)

Possibly? Mfg recertified Seagate Ironwolf. But, after the crash I could still read from it fine. And after wiping I did some test that took all day and came back ok. Back up now and so far ok too. But yeah, still not completely sure.
