So let me get this straight: We're turning the USA into an exclusive gated community with a terrible HOA, restrictive covenants, and expensive dues, then shipping everyone who parks a vehicle in the driveway overnight to a #McGulag thousands of miles away. It's so clear now.

A while back, some pundit was throwing shade on all the latest tech trends and when he got to 3D printing, he said β€œwe’ve already got a 3D printer, it’s called β€˜China.’” Not anymore. Might be time to get a 3D printer.

As long as the ottoman remains no less than six inches from the edge of the chair, getting in and out can be accomplished in a single catlike move. Grunting with exertion of core muscles is optional.

One of the refreshing things about #bsky is this: Once I've finished reading what I'm interested in, that's it. I can stop. I don't have to sift through maliciously curated chum to find out who and what I've missed.

We're watching this nation turn into Gilead. Not that Gilead, the @stephenking.bsky.social Dark Tower Gilead, because the world is most definitely Moving On, and the meanest, most dislikable characters popping up in those stories are attaining positions of power they really shouldn't have.

We're moving forward on everything we can before the US dollar stands with the ruble, the Zimbabwe dollar, and the Weimar Deutschmark as the next example of a failed nation's currency. Look at it this way: Nothing will ever be cheaper than it is right now.

TFW you have something clever and witty to write, then forget it completely while you're navigating password reset.

I loved Snow Crash. It poked fun at cyberpunk without being outright parody. Even the funny parts were thoughtful, because in 1992 or so, you could look at HOAs, megachurches, the rise of corporate sovereignty and a vestigial US government and go "yep, that tracks."

I like how "go get" is in quotes. Sounds a lot like "fix the glitch," or "solve the problem."

OK, this is great so far. There is little to no #enshittification present just yet.
