I'm averaging about one horror story a week since I started having health issues in the spring. Denied medications, long, long delays in things that do get approved, mandated to use less effective treatments because they are cheaper, etc. #LuigiDidNothingWrong

My son went to work for Tesla when it was still a cool company making environmentally friendly cars, before Elon went crazy. He quit the day that his sign up bonus vested. #ProudDad

I was going to say the Internet is broken, but I’m pretty sure it’s actually the whole country. Maybe the UK, too. And France.

Luigi Mangione with his lawyer in NYC court, 12 December 2025. The Fed’s are throwing the book at him because they’re terrified that the 1%will turn off the money faucet if they don’t do everything they can to squash the notion that he’s a hero of the people. #LuigiDidNothingWrong

@alpine I just installed Elementary OS, a Linux distro, on a juiced up E15 Thinkpad for my grandson (age 13) for an early Christmas gift. The laptop started life belonging to an NCAA football coach, became my Unraid server for four months and now it seems headed for homework, YouTube (and porn, I’m sure).

We know that the Fash are stupid AF, and it's kind of fun to watch them prove it on TV.It is absolutely mind blowing how a social movement to oppose fascism is the government's stated âhighest priority" when right-wing violence, measurably more of an issue, isnât even addressed. https://theintercept.c... social.lol

ChatGPT told me to put olive oil in my ears, but it did not specify whether I should use extra virgin or light, and I see now why some people don't trust it.

Our sweet Ella, American Black Dog, towards the end of her time with us. She never met a tennis ball she wouldn't chase, rarely barked and was about 90% obedient. She's been gone nearly a decade but sometimes I still half expect to hear the clicking of her nails across the floor when I open the door

Yesterday I reviewed Bloom, a file manager for #macOS. I heard from the developer and he was addressed the issues I brought up, so I've updated the post to include his feedback. #Apple #Software #AppAddict

@macmanx Thanks for that podcast list, especially the one on Star Trek. My son, age 42, just asked me yesterday whether he should watch the original or TNG first.
