everyone please check on your adhd friends; they’re probably solving problems that didn’t exist when they woke up

Our black cat had a phase (thankfully) where he would do this, except with such gusto that the food would fly everywhere as he scooped it out, creating abstract works of art on the floor and walls.

LOL, poor OP just wants to talk about a tv soap opera. Everyone in this thread should go volunteer or attend a protest and stop yelling at internet strangers. Hilarious thread though.

burn this into your memory:

iPhone users, you can disable Face ID and Touch ID by holding the wake button and either volume button simultaneously for two seconds. once the power off/emergency call screen appears, your password will be required to re-enable biometrics.

three stickers on a car. the first says "save the bees", the second says "share the road" with an illustration of a bicycle, and the third is a cool tattoo-style illustration that says "Fuck Ice Roll Dice" with a sword going through a d20.

But what’s in the pockets? I’d be carrying a Discman on the right and some CDs on the left. I mean, they are the perfect size.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

This makes me irrationally angry. Original icon invokes curiosity and sparks (just a hint!) of warm fuzzy feelings. New one is generic slop. Or it doesn’t matter and we’re all just old man yelling at cloud.

Sad news indeed - I must have been 5 or 6 when my brother introduced me to the Oils. I was constantly playing along to Earth Sun and Moon (still one of my favorite albums) trying to imitate Hirst's drum fills. Even 2022's Resist is fantastic. RIP.

Nearly every UI interaction stutters + lags. Camera app crashes 1/3 of the time when opening. UI elements are sloppily designed (the horizontal selector for camera modes looks like an A/B toggle but it's not!). Makes me want to throw my iPhone 13 against a wall, and it was working JUST FINE before.

YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

When companies enshittify, it's rewarding to become self sufficient. Jokes on you Dropbox, I will *not* be selecting a paid plan to keep my old files (that have been left unbothered for years), and have instead learned WAY more than I wanted to about hosting a Nextcloud instance (but it works!)

We are loading out media locally in 2026. We are putting our fruity little bandcamp purchases on tiny portable players. We are running baby media servers connected to our routers. This is the year of FLAC.

My son put it best when he was a young kid: "Cats are great because you get happy every time you encounter them. You turn a corner, and there's a cat there, and it's like there's a cat, and that's great."

I always think about it whenever I turn a corner and encounter a cat.
