This year I managed to shoo it out the kitchen window with minimal fuss. A few spramps with a water bottle will do it.

I followed your suggestion about acrylic mats (holy shit amazing) and this is another solid tip. Thank you for your service and stuff. 🫡

Amazon Web Services struggling to recover from global web outages Amazon Web Services outages had knocked many global websites and apps offline, including Signal, Coinbase and Robinhood.

Oh noes! Both #Fortnite AND #Roblox were down? How are our kids supposed to get their full daily dosage of gamified brain rot??

This world has lost its goddamn mind. Does *everything* have to be enshittified?

My empty post-rapture clothing sitting on a hotel chair.

I fondly remember the #rapture of 2011. Here's what was left, it happened while we were in a hotel in Portland, OR. I don't know who took the picture, so I'm assuming it was a miracle. Anyway, they quickly sent us both back for some reason... Maybe it's the gay thing? Oh well. Maybe today's the day!

Did you mean🤞?

A turntable playing Martin Denny's "Quiet Village" LP

In the mood for some classic kitsch tonight. I do appreciate it musically, but it's hard to separate it from the kitsch...which I also enjoy!

I believe is the album that spawned a brilliant 70s electro-disco cover of "Firecracker" by #YellowMagicOrchestra.

The days of me getting excited about a simple announcement (of anything, really) are long, long past.

A card depicting a charcoal drawing of dinosaurs. In bright green text are the words "You don't look a day over extinct"

My husband always gives me the sweetest birthday cards.

You should look into Kagi, where the results are as good as (or better than) Google's before it went to shit. Any AI stuff is totally optional.

I feel this more than I've felt most things this last couple of years.

Oh that 3D game was *amazing* back then. Played the hell out of mine as a teen! But my actual first console was an Atari 2600...

I've started blocking accounts with 20K+ followers AND following, because they tend to just be engagement farming. Their politics don't matter, I just block 'em on principle.

Now I see they've started blocking ME, someone with 50-ish followers and maybe 1-2 posts/month. 😂 It's soooo dumb.

And you just *know* he starts every sentence with "I say...!"

Sigh. "Based" is one of those terms that everyone seemingly started using out of nowhere, and I had to look it up to see what the hell they were talking about. It's like people of all ages started using it at the same time. To my old brain, at least!

I had my fill of Bon Jovi back in the 80s when you couldn't escape them on the radio, but the sheer novelty of this is kinda tempting...

I loved MiniDisc for many reasons, and one of them was being able to make crystal-clear live concert recordings. No tape hiss! Good times.

Right? They're both in their early 60s, I think. Still doing what they love. That's the dream...

Yeppers! Love those guys.

Two amazing musicians and their equally amazing band onstage in Seattle last weekend. One on guitar, one on keyboards (and occasionally accordion).

Someone out there must recognize these two excellent gents. (Seattle, last weekend)

@mrantknee.bsky.social Forgot to tag you on this. Not being on Facebook severely limits my reach 😀

Reminds me of growing up in Arizona. Gorgeous.

Meta has a plan to bring AI to WhatsApp chats without breaking privacy Meta shared that it’s working on something called “Private Processing,” which will allow users to take advantage of generative AI capabilities within WhatsApp without eroding its privacy features.

Guess I spoke too soon...

I've only used this a couple of times, uninstalling (and unimpressed) after each. Are they sticking ads into its chats yet? Have they shoveled AI bullshit into it yet? If not, just wait...this is Meta, after all. Ads and bullshit are their specialty.

I usually mute vs. block, but lately I've started blocking certain accounts that follow many thousands of others...because they just seem fishy. One that just followed me also follows 550 THOUSAND others. Nope, I don't need this #EngagementFarming bullshit.

Also... Don't most people use Twatter on their phones? Who needs 4K video for that?
