Since @nebula.tv has recently freed up some disk space — and if they are as fair and good as publisher as they seem — they could do far worse than get @caelan.bsky.social and @hoots.bsky.social on board. Get them some of that “Thank you for watching on Nebula” money.

In defiance of God, Nature, and the Mid-Twenties-Celsius-Temperatures, it is October and I am WEARING MY SNUGGLY OODIE WITH STARS AND PLANETS ON IT!
My gingery-white beardy chin and a little smirk, but mainly a thick snuggly oodie with the hood up.  It has colourful stars and planets on it.

I just think women should be able to get educations without a constant threat of sexual violence.

Spent three hours in bed winding myself up into borderline panic instead of sleeping. I don’t think this sertraline is quite hitting the spot, y’know?

This would drive me nuts. I get antsy enough using the Southeastern (GBR) escalators that go so much slower than the Underground's (TfL).
basin.la
LA Metro has some of the slowest escalators on earth… Why?
LA Metro’s design specifications state that its escalators go 90 feet per minute, slower than nearly everything we found.

Watching @patrickhwillems.bsky.social‘s video on @nebula.tv about Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. As an avowed Chris, I wholly agree with this sentiment.
A photo of a frame of the video on my TV.  Patrick is talking.  The subtitle reads, “And really, what’s up with the name Topher?”Another frame, the subtitle reads: “Like, what’s wrong with Chris? It’s good enough for Nolan.”

If you see 'Super Mario Bros 0.3' among some shareware and demos on an Apple II GS hard disk image, then it's something that must be immediately investigated. And oh yes, it's as cursed as I hoped it'd be.

Catching up on the LG TV privacy stuff. Holy crap I'm glad I've had mine blocked from the internet since I got it. I run AdGuard on my router, so tracking and ads (as best I can) are blocked on my entire home network. I just checked my AG dashboard and 92%(!!) of DNS lookups are for ads/tracking.
A screenshot of my AdGuard dashboard showing 780,862 DNS lookups, 717,018 of which were blocked because they were attempts to resolve ad and tracking services.

I'm neither a woman nor a writer, so I don't have the same pressures, expectations or the same variety of societal crap, but my word... "running so hard and so fast away from my own face" is exactly what I've been doing my entire 46 years on this planet and it's exhausting.

This iMac G3 DV has been a perpetual project for 6 years now. But I think I’m nearly there! Found a PAV board whose flyback is fine (phew!), but it’d keep shutting down when warmed up. Removed and tested a bunch of capacitors (all fine), so reflowed a bunch of solder joints around hot areas…

I tend to run a bit on the low side with my blood sugar — always have. I’ve got an odd trick for knowing when I should eat something: I notice my height. The first symptom just before feeling actively weird is that my head feels really fucking far from my feet. I’m 6’4”, so I *am* long, but… woah.

I’m sorry, but what? 141 ROLLS?
The US accounts for more than
20% of global tissue consumption despite having only 4% of the world's population. The average American uses 141 rolls of toilet paper per year, making them No 1 for No 2s globally, just ahead of Germans, each using an average of 134 rolls annually.

Today’s background-YouTube-noise narrator has a really interesting speech quirk. He adds such sibilance to t’s at the end of words that it sounds like he’s saying ‘ts’. So, “ahead of it” becomes “ahead of its”. So intriguing. It really grabs my ear.

The reason I've gone more left in recent years is that I previously accepted that we simply couldn't afford decent cheap housing, heavily subsidised transport, a universal basic income, etc. Then in 20 years in politics I saw what we actually could afford. And it's a lot. It's just never for you.
