Does anyone else find it odd that the song "Turtle Power" by Partners in Kryme declared Raphael as "the leader of the group"? He's always stuck me more as the cool-but-rude type.

Remember when having valid css and html was a flex?

Now that I've migrated from my org-roam note system where I would link daily items and links I've captured with free-form tags linked together by other links up the conceptual ladder until I hit the global Concepts tag to a Trilium system that lets me play with hierarchy more I moved every topic that had 1 link to be a child of that note and well, I hope you can appreciate the meta-ness of this image.

I wonder if Claude ever gets annoyed with me asking it to do one thing after another.

Why don't we have a wand that we can wave around in a room or over something and it would tell you objectively how it smells?

Deep in my heart I know this is obvious if you think about it, but I often forget that the dude rapping with Paula Abdul wasn't literally an animated cat. They did that just for the video.

Bethesda has the opportunity to do the funniest thing and surprise release Elder Scrolls right now.

No one is expecting "we got Elder Scrolls before GTA6"

I feel about the telephone the way Jerry felt about the mail.

It's high time we return to "Return to Innocence"

#MakeAmericaPureMoodsAgain

People like songs about drinking beer more than they actually like drinking beer.

Nothing is scarier than being in the middle of enjoying your obligation-free Saturday when your girlfriend texts you "Are you excited about tonight?"

People talk about how certain industries are only populated by people that are aging out and not being replaced by new blood. This is especially apparent when it comes to Ska bands

Teach your kids how to skank.

It's always disconcerting when you are at a party and you turn and see a cop. Now granted you are at a children's birthday costume party, but you can never know for sure.

The gangs all here. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi... Mushroom Queen.

Kids these days burn through all the great optical illusions so quickly that they never properly take in how something can be both two faces and a vase at the same time.

AI is going to make sorting through dad's photo collection after he died without being traumatized so much easier.

There needs to be a word for the panic that sets in when you realize that you are not actually sure which variety of vanilla ice cream you prefer.

Went with French Vanilla

Imagine how crazy things would be today if Google never killed Freebase and we all had an open Wikipedia for structured data all this time.

Oh, if only...

My #ElectricCallboy shirt, vinyl, and comic book arrived today.

It's ironic that someone with the name of Solo would be part of a Force dyad.

Winds killed the dinosaurs.

Everybody always says "Oh look how kind this candlestick and teapot are singing about how they are so happy to serve you" but considering the entire kingdom was cursed because their lord was discourteous to a guest... You can see how they'd want to be extra sure to get the hospitality down.

I should be able to reference my nostr profile's relay selections as a flake input.

#ThatTypeOfNerd

Now that I've gotten all my configs migrated from hyprland, I think I'm going to like niri. Some of it will take getting used to, but it opens up the possibility to do some things I couldn't before.

Dear Steam: I'm frustrated because after spending hours trying to get this dongke working with Linux I discover that part of the reason I have been having so many issues is because this thing has a busted battery and will not turn on.

Dear User: Thank you for your question. We don't support Linux, use Windows.

Got a Steam Frame but my computer is not detecting it.

Patching my kernel.

#SteamFrame #nixos

It's a shame that the artist Scene Queen used the title "Hot Singles in Your Area" for her LP instead of saving that for a greatest hits compilation.

Switching to my jeans

#JustAutumnThings

That scene where they're talking about the fate of the first 4 Babylon stations, but it's about Ben Foldses.

It is absolutely a mistake to think "I'm kinda hungry right now, I think I'll have more edible"

Duck sold, time to pump.

I hope Huey found that drug he was looking for.

If the web page for your open-source, self-hosted app has a "pricing" page, I don't want it.

I have no problem with open source devs wanting to get paid, but I don't trust you to not cripple your product in pursuit of having an attractive list of enterprise features.

Had to sell a bunch of Bitcoin this morning to buy a Steam Frame. I said I was going to do it when they first announced it and I've been working under the assumption that the stacks I've been stacking was for that purpose... still hurts to see the sats go. This will be my first VR headset.

I refuse to believe that you think you actually need 4 whole spaces per indentation level or you'll get confused.

Who are you trying to fool here?

I need a self-hosted app that will notify me when any band in my lidarr list goes on tour near me.

Is there fantasy football on nostr yet?

TIL that Bad Omens, the band that rose to prominence due to having a planned cover/collaboration with the lead singer of The Cranberries before she died also had planned to do a cover/collaboration for the song "Jolene".

I don't believe in coincidence. Bad Omens is killing beloved female singers.

First Dolly, then Tim?

Fuck

I want a Damien Wayne / Scrappy Doo team-up book.

One of the problems with being a big guy is that the band never has any shirts in your size.

I need a local LLM that can hunt through my plex library, find the scene I'm thinking of, turn it into a gif, and drop it into chat.

What does it mean if we've failed to save the cheerleader?

The founding fathers would fuck up some Flock cameras.

Since we all have a meeting through lunch tomorrow, they decided to send everyone a Uber Eats gift card so that everyone could get lunch.

Of course, since they didn't bother to tell anyone ahead of time, everyone flagged it as a simulated phishing attempt.

My ears are still ringing from the Tomahawk / Melvins show on Monday.

There needs to be a word to describe that feeling you get when you realize the content you've been consuming is just slop and you have to re-frame how you think about it.

All I'm saying is: Has anyone ever actually seen Daft Punk and Sleep Token in a room at the same time?

Despite being perfect for it, I don't think I would want to wear a stillsuit to a concert.

For the short time that Supergirl was on Earth, she had to have absorbed a lot of pop culture to be able to make all the references that she does. It seems odd that despite all of that, she didn't feel any real kinship for the planet.

If anyone is concerned about having your bitcoin stolen, send me your seed phrase and I will confirm for you if you have lost all your money or not. (/s)

There is no time so utterly wasted as the half hour before you have to leave to go somewhere.

I would like to extend my deepest apologies, when the bear said to me that preventing forest fires was my sacred duty, I didn't really take him seriously. I was just a kid at the time and it seemed ludicrous to me that the protection of the forest from fires would fall on me and me alone. Frankly, I've done almost nothing in all this time to stop forest fires aside from the basic fire safety caution. I now realize my grave error.

I'm still not sure how I'm meant to do this. I assume it's some sort of a "chosen one" type thing. Was I supposed to have a medallion or something?

Listening to first graders talk about the OG games of Roblox...

#Detroit

If I have a bottle of pancakes and bacon whiskey, that's a breakfast drink, right?

The screen on my steam deck hasn't been working for months but it worked docked.

I went to restart it today and the screen popped right on. 🤷

Plot idea: A superhero's identity is revealed by tracing a series of suspicious bets on an online betting site.

They just pushed back the restoration of my electricity by another day.

One of the downsides of having a homelab is that you're kinda screwed for content while you wait for DTE to restore power.

What having my lollipop eaten by an owl taught me about the value of evidence-based research.

The problem with standing right behind the dude in the wheelchair at the Suicide Machines show is that you are in constant fear of being pushed into him as the circle encroaches and sometimes you have to try to redirect the chick that is crowdsurfing right at you.

I threw out my back.

The problem with putting 7 Ska bands on the same bill is that by the time you get to the headliners, you're too heat-stroke-y to really enjoy it.

All in all, it was a blast.

This is a stupid rule. Especially since I can just cancel it and restart with the new amount.

"Close" actually counts in many more than just the two cases but the general expression is so useful that it's close enough without having to list them all out.

That Marie Kondo phrase is never truer than when you are trying to curate your pornography collection.

That woman that says "well, I never" has now. That's why you don't hear her say that anymore.

No matter how much comradery you feel, you will always just be "the user" to Claude.

Could Batman lift Mjolnir with enough prep time?

Thinking back to how Queensryche - Empire got me all "Yeah! We're not funding the cops enough"

Ironically, that CD was practically my soundtrack to reading William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy. (I got them both at the same library)

A benefit of working from home is that the impact of forgetting that you have a 3-day weekend is greatly lessened.

No, I've never driven all the way to work before realizing that we all had the day off before. Why do you ask?

"Yes, I'm calling because when I try to set up autopay in the app, it gives an error and says I need to call in" "OK, I can help you with that but as a reminder, if you ever need to set up autopay, you can always do it via the app"

The soda is 79 cents and the water is only a quarter but they both pair with the hot dog for a dollar fifty. Therefore, the combo with the water is kind of a rip off... I said, to myself, about the Costco hot dog.

In Australia, do the circle pits run clockwise?

You can't claim things are the same as it ever was and at the same time freak out about unfamiliar houses and wives.

Pick a lane.

The new #Steam controllers seem neat, but I wonder if they can run Doom.

My gummies have a serving size of 1/5th of a gummy.

I've been watching through the comedy, St. Denis Medical and the drama, The Pitt. I just switched from the comedy episode where the young, new guy is in a situation where he has to intently do chest compression and the I switched over to the drama version where a very similar situation played out in a very different way.

It is so freeing having a car with a working gas gage instead of constantly having to top off the tank and then reset the trip counter. I used to get nervous whenever I would let the car idle for any significant period of time that it would throw off my estimates just enough that I would end up running out of gas.

I'm in this limbo zone right now where I'm anxious to set off for downtown but I know that once I do, I'll be down there until late tonight and I want to be as well rested as possible for the concert tonight but I also don't want to waste my opportunity to walk around and do things.
