had too much caffeine late at night and I’m watching my heart blast out PVCs on my Apple Watch lol sinus rhythm my ass

A screenshot of an electrocardiogram in Apple Health. It claims “sinus rhythm” but shows two regular beats followed by a PVC (premature ventricular contraction). Don’t worry, they’re usually benign, and not uncommon with too much caffeine and stress. Feel weird, though.

death metal song about necromancy? 🤔 nah I’m gonna treat it as a trans allegory

A screenshot of Apple Music, showing lyrics from the Mors Principium Est song The Ghost:

Your time is over
Become the ghost that haunts their dreams
You’ll live forever
But your new life’s not what it seems
A new beginning
Forget the man you’ve left behind
Your life is over
But here a new path you will find

I was looking at it and ran across this on a reddit discussion about taimi. I didn't feel comfortable with literally being their product

A screenshot of an instagram (I think?) ad by 'taimiapp' that says "APP TO MEET SINGLE 🏳️‍⚧️ TRANS WOMEN 🏳️‍⚧️" with various dating photos of women (but otherwise sfw), with smiley emoji stickers over them. The text at the bottom reads "taimiapp A Unique LGBTQIA+ Dating App ❤️" and it has 1412 likes and 56 comments.

some days I feel like I’m getting the hang of this

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

I took a CPAP machine, soldered some wires to its logic board, and reprogrammed it to unlock the features of a much more expensive model in the same product line.

A photo of a CPAP machine sitting on a desk. Its top cover is removed, exposing some front-panel electronics, and it is powered on and lit up. Small wires run from its interior to a Raspberry Pi, which is connected to a laptop. Some nail files and other miscellany litter the desk.

my gf swears by these anti-chafing thigh bands she got off amazon. normally you wear them on both thighs but she says it's fine with just a single one

A product photo of a model wearing elastic anti-chafing thigh bands. They are black and rectangular and sit around the mid-thigh, and allow the legs to slide past one another without sticking or binding.

dealing with a new variation on an old emotion. I've felt endless worry, fear, and sadness before, of course, since I was a little kid. but the last few weeks it's what I can only describe as "free-floating dread." like something really bad is going to happen to people I love, and soon. I hate it.

I think about (and post) this often in week form 🫂 good luck, stovey, we're all rooting for you ❤️

A four-panel reddit(?) illustrated meme. Panel one shows a person saying "i just need to get through this week" and the inside of their head is a scribbled-over, chaotic word cloud. The second panel is an unhappy stick figure lying in bed also saying "i just need to get through this week." The third panel is a crude diagram of four items in a circle with lines drawn from one to the next, but each item says "get through this week." The fourth panel is the 'how ya doin son' meme format, but the 'dad' in the open doorway is saying "Are u okay bro?" and the person standing in scribbled darkness says "yes i just need to get through this week." The overall energy given off by the image is... anxious, uncomfortable, and arguably claustrophobic.

I was like whaaat and sure enough the second hit on google for just "milwaukee road tokyo" is an old guidebook that says they had an office there. It's OCR'd even: the text showed up in the search results! It was just never fed into to the all-consuming maw...

A segment of the "Welcome to the Milwaukee Road" guidebook at https://milwaukeeroadarchives.com/PostWar/WelcometotheMilwaukeeRoad.pdf - it reads, "Our salesmen work out of 54 offices, including offices at such cities within our operating territory as Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Omaha, Seattle, Tacoma, Kansas City and Des Moines. Other offices are pretty far from our operating territory: in New York, New Orleans, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver and even in Tokyo."

I see it every so often, it’s definitely a mood

The internet meme photo of a blonde Sailor Uranus cosplayer sitting by a fire pit smoking with a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon in hand. She is staring into the distance. Crushed cans sit at her feet, and one booted foot sits upon a box of PBR.

it was just so stupidly transparent! and maybe most people weren't paying attention but it was like, almost infantilizing, like Piaget's object permanence experiment
