Oh yes, it’s infuriating!

And yes, the SSD prices have jumped. 😥

My data needs are stupid gigantic. I do lots of high-res video so my local working drive is a speedy SSD, but all the backups are spinning platters.

Sweet. I’ll have to look into that. And find a place for it to hide. I have a drive array but it’s not NAS. It’s also noisy so it lives on the other side of my office wall behind the furnace.

What NAS did you use?

"Trans people no longer allowed to drive in Kansas" is a real headline. In case you don't think this is Nazi shit, let me assure you: this is Nazi shit.

Worth it.

A bunny huddled down beneath an arbor vitae, with a wooden fence behind him and brown scraggly winter lawn in front. He blends in so is a little hard to see unless you’re looking for him.

This is the resident bunny living in our little yard. He’s chosen this spot as his daytime cozy pad. We’ve named him Dr. Robbie Rabbitowitz.

Pics or we’re sending you home.

A sentence I never thought I’d write: friends are trapped at the airport by drug cartel terrorists in Puerta Vallarta.

"People will cut off family over politics, it's so silly"

Is it? Is not wanting to associate with people who will do Olympic-tier mental gymnastics to justify/dismiss exhaustively documented child rape silly, now?

I say cut 'em off, and let 'em know why. That's some shit they deserve to sit with.

I just realized that Gene Simmons “stalking” around the stage in his platform boots walks exactly like my dogs did when we put rubber snow boots on their paws.

Please stop piping music at me. Stop it. No.

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

Is that actually @markhamillofficial.bsky.social or a stand-in? Er, hang-in?

Oooo been thinking about one. How long will it run on a single charge?

And on your Erik Larson books, no less! Two things I love: turtle plushies and Larson!

A very simple thing you can do is stop linking to the NYT.

I know they do some good reporting but they are also actively upholding facism and working to subvert democracy and shaping your world view.

It is more work but it is better if we start starving harmful institutions.

Nice! Is the D in Paul Allen’s collection? I’ve read Bezos has the refit in the lobby of his space company, and is a tyrant about not letting people photograph it. Do you know anything about that?

The tactical formation is mostly there to prevent him from being vacuumed into a Roomba.

Same boat here. I’m boycotting Paramount. For me that means not only canceling my subscription, it means not watching any Paramount shows. YMMV. You have to decide for yourself where your line in the sand is.

Moody medium shot of a man, with short black hair and a mustache, wearing a black coat, against a dark-red-hued background of Chinese lanterns framed in an arched doorway. The actor is David Dastmalchian in the movie Dust Bunny. He, along with the rest of the cast, give great performances, and later in the film David delivers a perfect line read that had me guffawing out loud.

We saw Dust Bunny last night. I love this movie! Pitch perfect tone, visually stunning, & amazing performances from Sigourney, Mads, and especially Sophia Sloan. And @dastmalchian with one of the very best line reads, ever. No notes!

Boromir from the movie The Fellow ship of the rings thinking out loud about the one ring, with the caption "Perhaps we could give the ring better training."

That looks fantastic!
