How did I get here? Sconnie transplant. Geek (not that kind.) Something on the left. Imposter, but I’m not that good at it. Somehow married a goddess. Agnostic. Insomniac. Ick and ack. I have cats and a dog.

coffee with pumpkin spice syrup. Pumpkin spice waffles. Maple syrup. Sugar crash. No one could have seen that coming. Looks like I need more waffles.

The time has come. Boutique milk. “Yes, this particular pull came from Big Ella near Brainerd. It’s her 3rd year, and already you can detect the mature whole cream.” “The color is reminiscent of a single white cloud in a blue July sky. Probably a Thursday.”

Trigger warning: SA Society gets rape so very wrong. I just read with utter disgust a story about the LSU rape. Cory Siemaszko quotes the survivor, “(I) developed pretty severe anxiety.” What’s a little worry, eh? No - SA and rape impacts friends and families, too. The crime has reach.

Hey - anyone ever hear of Sweetest day?

Steampunky Brewster @atleastonce.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Ok, this is sweet! Until, well... damn, is it depressing. The stoics would approve.
It depicts two skeletons sitting side-by-side in old-fashioned wooden rocking chairs. The chairs have tall slatted backs, turned wooden posts, and carved details, with cobwebs stretched across them. “Sophia” and “James” are written on plaques at the tops of their respective chairs.
It's an old married couple sitting together on the porch in their rocking chairs—except they’ve remained there after death. The pumpkins, bats, black roses, and cobwebs give that domestic scene the Halloween treatment.

And “Till Death Do Us Part” becomes funnier because the picture essentially says, “Yeah, apparently not.”

Is it bad that I am 15 floors up and it smells like burning wood in my “personal focus room?” I think it might be bad. Then again, this is the best building low bid could build.

Cool! The energizer cr2032s have a bittering agent to keep small kids from putting them in their mouths and swallowing them! I wonder what it tastes like? A second later… lick… “Ew, bitter!” Might work on kids, does not work on some ”adults.” Anyone know how to get this taste out of my mouth?
Picture of a coin battery, cr2032 with purple bittering dots on a somewhat scuffed table.  Pants legs and carpeting in the background.  Not as delicious as you would think.

I’ve had some lovely ladies from onlyfans follow me. I think they want me to follow them. While they are quite pretty, they are at least 1/2 my age. While I do “enjoy a good time in a committed and loving relationship,” watching 25 year olds would put me in the deep side of disgusting.

Heroes of IT Security: “oh my god! AI is finding tons of security issues! Oh fick! All hands on deck, pizzas for breakfast!” Someone paying attention: “AI can pay a little closer, but perhaps your team was paying attention to the wrong thing all along. If so, you’re still screwed.”

www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne... AI isn’t the only thing to fear here. The bigger danger is corporations deploying systems people don’t fully understand, giving them too much authority, and treating safeguards as friction. AI can fail. Management decides how much damage that failure can do.

Great trip on Sept 11. Went to #UWEC to drop off Mom’s “beanie” (photo on different phone) at McIntyre‘s Special Archives. It’s now one of three that will be on display rotation during home coming. Not sure why, but it makes me a little misty.

“So it goes.” Kurt Vonnegut’s, Slaughterhouse-Five “Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.” sesquipedalian me. “You must be on project, you here long time, you know good things.” It would actually be grand if some did, in fact, ask me for something and/or believe me. 4F. That’s a thing now.

The problem isn’t that AI uses electricity. It’s that hyperscale computing can privatize the benefits while socializing the costs: grid expansion, water and infrastructure. Bitcoin has the same externality problem—without nearly as strong an argument for the social benefit.
