Shakshuka with your fave crusty bread. It's relatively low cal so saves room for ice cream later.

It was exactly ten years ago today, on my 33rd birthday, that I posted this comic online.

The "TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol. 1" book has been helpful to me, as a fellow not neteng doer, for deeper dives into network protocols when troubleshooting

I had an "American" pizza in a Tokyo train station that included ham, mayo, and sweet corn. It looked very weird but tbh tasted pretty not bad.

I hope whatever construction you are doing results in this branch being somehow even more brutalist than before

I hear you—and I apologize. That mushroom was one of the poisonous ones, you’re right. That’s not just useful feedback—it’s you setting a boundary.

TIL, KDNL is no longer affiliated with ABC as of this week

Screenshot of a Deadline article that reads:

EXCLUSIVE, with update: ABC is switching affiliations in the St. Louis market, with plans to move from the Sinclair-owned outlet to Gray Media, sources familiar with the plans confirmed on Thursday.

The change will take place on Sept. 1. Gray will provide locally produced news at its station, KMOV-TV, with ABC programming broadcasting on the outlet’s D2 digital channel.

I was just telling somebody about this exact clip yesterday. I had not watched KSDK news in a while & was so caught off guard by the biased story intros I rewound to make sure I heard them correctly.

I logged on and the first 17 posts I saw were all about Dolly's passing. I've never seen such a universal mourning online. What a treasure we've lost.

On this day in 1876, #stl city residents voted to secede from the county. This terribly short-sighted decision has plagued our region for 150 years.

I did a trial & didn't like it. Gave appearance of removing bias but really just exposed me to lower quality "sources" I had been avoiding. Didn't feel right to put what are essentially hyper partisan blogs on same level as orgs like BBC & AP - even if you are noting their potential biases.

Oof. Public media runs on shoestring budgets so I would not expect sophisticated DR planning, but to not also have these archives in a drawer full of HDD or LTO tapes somewhere is kinda surprising.

On this day in 1988, Jonny Lee Miller crashed 1507 computer systems. It made the front page of the NYT as the biggest single day crash in history. #zerocoolday

My dog loses his mind when he sees other dogs, near or far. Unless the other dog is up on a balcony. He does not fear Sky Dogs.

RIP Kavinsky. Despite crashing your Testarossa & dying in 1986, your zombie form still managed to bless us with the banger album OutRun in 2013. We are all eternally grateful.

I know local news is a tough business, and generating revenue from questionable web ads is probably a necessary evil, but this is just wasteful & useless slop

And finally, the answer to the question about Debra Thorson's business background... does not address her supposed business background. It also offered related questions about her role at telco vendor Alcatel-Lucent - even though the column clearly stated her previous job was as a truck driver.

It also answered the suggested question about what Ruthie's family restaurant was known for - but incorrectly says the restaurant is located in an entirely different state.

One of the suggested questions was whether charges would be dropped before August hearing. It did answer this question, but with info about an unrelated case & that case's July hearing.
