Listen, if you’re not happy single, you won’t be happy in a relationship either, happiness comes from picking a new hobby and then buying all the things to start that hobby then finding the perfect little storage container for those things and then putting that storage container in the spare room

Dion is one of the most underrated vocal talents of the mid-20th century. I just feel like that needed to be said.

Ok I know this out there, but a time traveler from the future left this book behind. Basically Biff with the sports almanac, except it’s a world history textbook from 2094 about the era we’re living through. Surreal. Not in a fun way. frankramblings.com/blog/2026/03...

Found: A History Textbook From 2094
The most unsettling part of finding a U.S. history textbook from 2094 would be seeing our current chaos explained with the clarity of hindsight.

I’ve been living in both Mastodon and Bluesky for a while, and the context switching finally broke me. So I built SocialFusion: a native iOS app that unifies both timelines in one feed. Public beta launches Thursday. Countdown + details: frankramblings.com/socialfusion
SocialFusion app promo graphic on a dark blue, circular-gradient background. At left, the SocialFusion logo and name appear above the headline “One Timeline. Every Feed.” and smaller text reading “Mastodon + Bluesky support · Cross-posting · Open Source · Built with SwiftUI.” At right, an iPhone mockup shows the SocialFusion unified timeline with posts and a bottom navigation bar.

BREAKING Netflix says it is backing out of a bid to acquire Warner Brothers, which means David Ellison’s Paramount is likely to move forward as primary bidder and potentially take control of the company that owns Warner Bros., CNN, HBO, and a vast portfolio of film, tv, and streaming assets.

The arguments I have received from the pro-ICE world are “it all happened so fast” but looking down your barrel through an open window at the side of a person’s head and pulling the trigger is murder.

Trump to Reuters about the midterm elections: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election." www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...
MANAGING MIDTERM EXPECTATIONS
The president expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate in this year’s midterm elections, citing historical trends that have seen the party in power lose seats in the second year of a presidency.
“It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”

I use Mastodon and Bluesky, but I’ve never loved that the people I follow are split across different apps. So I decided to try building my first iOS app to bring both of my feeds together.
A screenshot of a mobile social media feed with a mix of Mastodon and Bluesky content, focusing on two main posts.

At the top, the app interface shows a "Unified" timeline view with a notification button indicating "14 new posts."

The first is a Mastodon post is by Jerry (@jerry@infosec.exchange). His profile picture is an alpaca wearing a blue hat. The post text reads: "I feel like somehow we need to make BGP more resilient by using DNS. 🤔"

The second post is a Bluesky "boost" (repost) from Jerry Chen, originally by Mara Wilson (@marawilson.bsky.social). Her profile picture is a headshot of the actress Mara Wilson. The post text reads: "The other night I dreamed that there was something like the Kardashev scale to see how advanced a civilization was but instead of measuring how much energy they had harnessed it was whether or not they had yet created SpongeBob"

The bottom of the screen shows a navigation bar with icons for Home, Notifications, Messages, Search, and Profile.

Cool Edit Pro 2.0 splash screen (Windows version) from 2002.A screenshot of Cool Edit Pro, a classic digital audio workstation from the late 1990s and early 2000s, showing a multitrack session. Several colorful waveform tracks are arranged vertically in the timeline, including labeled parts like “ClubBeat,” “DanceBeat,” “Rickenbacker,” “Moog/Trumpets,” and “Latin Perc.” A floating “Mixers” window displays faders, pan controls, and volume meters for each track. On the left, a file browser lists various sound clips with green icons. The bottom of the interface shows transport controls, time display, tempo settings, and a timeline ruler.

Don Jr. seeing the Epstein birthday letter
A teenage boy with light skin and short brown hair stands in front of a bus, wearing a collared shirt with red and white stripes, and looking surprised or confused. Bold white meme text at the bottom reads, “DAD WRITES BIRTHDAY CARDS?” This image is an instance of the “You Guys Are Getting Paid?” meme from the movie “We’re the Millers,” which features Kenny (played by Will Poulter) expressing unexpected disbelief
