Seeing posts now from software consultants in the US who say their overseas clients have been terminating contracts for "political reasons".

I feared all this would make it much more difficult to do business.



I genuinely Forgot What JD Vance looked like at this point



Quite funny that we live in an age of information and enlightenment but seem to somehow be experiencing a modern dark age. Future us will think we are such fools.

@Nickiquote Throwing turds? That's beneath us. You need at least a trebuchet.

Putting an end to the debate regarding if it's ok to punch a Nazi or not.

From now on it's called "A Roman High Five"



Alright, this glucose monitoring sensor is not going to attach itself! ( got all my meds today =D).

Best get warm and comfy and attached! =)

There's *something* happening down at the tip of the Reykjanes peninsula in #Iceland

I don't know if an undersea eruption is on the way, but it's a LOT of seismic activity and not where we were all expecting things to happen.



Wrote a postcard in French for a French friend recently and it was weird how much came back to me. I had to look up a couple of vocab words and verb conjugations, plus whether to use "pendant" or "depuis", but otherwise it was okay?

I am sure my French pal will criticise every mistake though 😁

It finally happened - my first 1-er!
After 354 games I’ve finally done it!

😎😎😎😎😎🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Now what? Retire? Or chase that second perfect game in under 353 days?

So happy today. Good luck wordlers! Hope someone can join me in my celebrations!

1. Still breathing.
2. Still in love.
3. Still not a fucking Nazi.

A Discord scammer messaged me with this:

I wanted to let you know that I had your account mass reported for financial scams and fraud... I just got off with the support after trying to resolve this on my own, but apparently they said that you need to contact them as well that's why I am telling you right now. They were talking about some verification stuff, can I show you the email so you can contact the assigned support about the situation?


I proceeded to report their message, then mock them a bit before blocking the account.

Just wanted to put their script out there for others to find via search engine in the future.




The Green Pill Secret: Sapiosexuality

Welcome everyone to a new episode of the Green Pill Secret, produced right here in Reston, VA. This week we're talking about Sapiosexuality. Simply put, today is all about it being okay to be smart! Maybe your jam is science books like The Science Book Club, which I run and am making the 2025–2026 book poll as I write this.

Canadians are more and more planning vacations in… Canada 🇨🇦, instead of the United States of America 🇺🇸

Opinion: Yay 😀 Should we give this movement its own name?

sweating the small stuff. Now that we have a custom LCD, I want to take advantage of it. 8erlin -> berlin, 0enver -> denver, +ehran -> tehran, plus some other cases. NYork -> NuYork isn't much, but I'll take it!
in reply to José Albornoz

@eljojo ah that one would fit nicely! Alas, since Ottawa follows the same time zone rules as the east coast USA, so you'd be in NuYork as well.
in reply to joey castillo

while correct in practice, with all due respect, I’d feel more comfortable using Canadian time zones 😀

If Germans own #Hitler - and we obviously do - then Americans definitely own #Trump .

Saying: "I didn't vote for him!" Is no longer enough. Now the question is: "Do you comply, or do you resist?"

The Germans who grew up after WWII also asked these questions to the generations of their parents and grandparents... and the latter often failed to have good answers.

often? they often failed? they mostly failed - I would say.

69.1% of all US voters didn’t vote for Harris. The only vote that could have prevented what is happening now.


Looks like I'm getting into the badge making business. I'm getting a badge maker, just so I can make some Night Gardener, Outie, Innie and other silly Severance things I can design and print, since it's woefully under represented out there.

Anyway, went to the beach, had breakfast whilst listening to the radio in the car - Jonathan was braver in the cold 🌞 and bought stuff at Morrisons and now home.

I has cake for later and an individual mandarin trifle with a tuna crunch sub for lunch. Ooh yeah =)
