I installed some presence sensors in the basement so the lights will automatically turn off when there's no one down there. It continues to register a presence even though none of us (including the cats) have been down there in hours. I live in a really old house. Should I be concerned?

Of course. Because, as required by Dad Law, I have a "box of random outdated cables" in my basement as well 💁🏻‍♂️

It's apparently trendy to say that you've never heard the song "Choosing Texas," and I just queued it up expecting to be like, "oh yeah, I know this," but NOPE. Have literally never heard this before. 🤷‍♂ Add me to the list, I guess...

It's almost time to do the DisTwitter Secret Santa thing. I've been doing it for several years, and I'm ready to pass it on to someone else. So, if anyone is interested in taking it over so it can continue, DM me. Happy to help with the transition/getting the word out this year!

Mitch McConnell memes? Objectively funny. But seriously, is this real life? Watching an elderly man visibly struggle while everyone around him pretends this is normal is deeply unsettling. The memes are funny. The reality really isn’t.

Up next, Trump declares the Kennedy Center "beyond repair," has it razed before anyone can stop the bulldozers, and then replaces it with a garish golden palace he can name after himself.

Look, that is just factually flawed. I'm not saying it's a beautiful drive like the PCH or something, but you're driving through rolling hills on tree lined highways, and there's lots of distractions along the way (especially on the STL-COMO side). Kansas is literally nothing. So fucking bleak

It's even boring to fly over. It's somehow even flatter than the state of Florida, and by the time you hit the Colorado border you're ready to slit your wrist just to see color. Worst drive in the nation and it's not a close call.

Trump lies as he breathes and hasn't even kept the campaign promises he made to his MAGA faithful. Anyone basing their vote upon this charlatan's promise that they'll get five grand is an idiot.

The price is the price, and whether it's worth it is going to be up to you. But if you're curious, foldables are worth looking into. I love mine and can't imagine going back to a regular phone. 3/3

120

Jamie @jrtoastyman.com · 09/09/2026

Great for reading work documents, makes multitasking a ton easier. The biggest functional trade off has been having a bulky phone, but the most recent iterations have made the size surprisingly reasonable, and I fully expect Apple to deliver something that maintains that. 2/3

120

Jamie @jrtoastyman.com · 09/09/2026

With the iPhone Duo here, I know a lot of people wonder why anyone would ever need a foldable iphone or whether they are "worth it." Does anyone "need" one? No. But as someone who has used a foldable for years, that extra space helps a ton if you're someone that does real work on your phone. 1/3
