Weird, this is my cat Interzone

Two worlds at war on the book shelf right now

Key quote from the guy at the register, about the DST switch: “I don’t mind going to work in the dark. I hate coming home in the dark. It turns you into a lazy butt!”

[turning to Jaq, gravely] “Pardon my French.”

Had one of your better American South experiences today: drove 90 minutes through the country to get a ham sandwich. Chatted with the couple that run the country store for 10 minutes (mandatory). The ham sandwich was fucking incredible.

a tweet from bryan johnson (the smooth technology man who will live forever) that opens with the phrase "I eliminated 85% of microplastics from my ejaculate."

[kool keith voice] i eliminated 85% of microplastics from my ejaculate

Downside to moving to Virginia: we’re in the blast radius of US-EAST-1. Signal went down in our area due to the AWS outage while Jaq was at an eye appointment and our whole communications infrastructure went to hell.

Probably sucks for DC too I guess

So far I love living in the south: the weather, the people, the one billion new insect species

Naps are a weapon wielded against the mailman

Went to the local artist’s market today & talked myself out of spending $2k on this even though it would be perfect for the bathroom

If you get fitted for running shoes they will scan your feet then show them to you FROM THE SIDE. Do not do this!

You lost sight of the point of this a few years ago my man

I’m seeking funding for my screw finding app called Fastnr (working title). Your Screw, Your Way

I’ve been following the Guitar Effects feed for 18 months & I’ve blocked everyone advertising super-cheap knockoffs. What’s left is Harriet, the furry sub version of the DigiTech Whammy. And I think that’s beautiful

(Never been to OKC though)

Shout out to American cities. I’m living in my fourth one and have visited four dozen more. Not a single one I didn’t like.

on that shit that got me forgetting how to use a zipper and then realizing it's part of god's plan

going to a guy named Mose's barn for green corn and having to listen to him dick around on a washboard for 45 minutes

We were doing great at the $1 record sale until Jaq found a sealed 2-volume collection of Texas Funk that we needed to buy. $120 at the $1 record sale. The owner gave us free merch for spending so impressively

The wedding string quartet are putting a little stink on their rendition of Sweet Child o’ Mine

Sometimes AI is actually pretty good

Shout out to Martha, our 80 year old neighbor who teaches math at a public school, drives like an absolute terror, and brings fresh cut flowers to our porch every week. We love you Martha

Now that we all live in a micromanaged society I’ve gone crazy for positive reviews. I’m filling out the surveys and giving five stars and leaving thoughtful commentary about how great people are. Today I demanded to speak with a bank manager to tell them what a wonderful job Abby is doing

Now that Jaq and I live in a house worth decorating we’re learning which of us is a prissy little bitch about decor, and that it’s me

We often think of “the human element” of cybersecurity in abstract corporate terms. Phishing training etc. The reality is that security literacy can literally be life or death for anyone with something to lose. It’s scary to think about and hard to give good advice. It’s gotta be done though.

To their credit, they locked financial accounts with the banks immediately. Good move.

The harder part of the conversation: they can’t trust this new partner and need to cut them out immediately. Say goodbye & change the locks.

Just heard from a neighbor who wanted some cybersecurity advice. I assumed they’d clicked a phishing link or whatever. It was much worse than that.

Someone they’d started dating had “helped them with their LastPass security” and subsequently compromised all their accounts & devices.

Moving into our new house in 2 days. We’ve been in a rental for 3.5 months & we’re really at our limit here

Dear New Tenant is a bonkers horror/comedy story and @fusionfragment.bsky.social is a fearless custodian of weird shit from across the fiction spectrum. Great issue, pick it up

Sometimes it do be like that tho
