I hate that control resonant has twitch drops because I hate twitch drops because I don't watch streamers because why would I want to watch a stranger play video games, but I hate even more that I'm a sucker who got FOMO'd into "watching" a stream muted & minimized in order to get those twitch drops

love too have different degrees of astigmatism in each eye so every time I get new glasses every rectangle becomes a trapezoid until I acclimate to the new prescription

this is in iOS 27. could nature be healing? are Easter eggs returning to software? (probably not at least to the first one, I don’t think we’re un-ringing the “computers woven into the very fabric of our lives” bell)

thank god we have AI so now we can recreate the experience of having to wonder whether your pizza order was heard, understood, and entered correctly without the inconvenience of a human being on the other end

I have no illusions that I am or ever was meaningfully in touch with popular culture but few things drive that notion home harder than fast food collaborations with people I have to google to find out who they are, like this at Dunkin

I feel like a hypocrite because I find pandering nerd-"culture" mashups to be eyeroll-worthy at best but at the same time I also think shit like danny dorito is hilarious, even though it's ultimately not especially different in spirit
An illustration of a Nacho Cheese Dorito with Danny Devito's face.  The illustration also features a couple of abstract triangular shapes reminiscent but not identical to the current Doritos logo, and the text "DANNY DORITO" below the Danny Dorito in a font resembling the font used in the Doritos wordmark.

5 words from my birth year (1983) that describe my vibe beta test cryptid cyberpunk gender transition information superhighway it is legitimately hilarious to me that there are a bunch of tech terms AS WELL AS “gender transition” and “gender nonconforming” first recorded the year I was born

hot take: we fucked up when we let computers get so important to society that developers had to stop putting easter eggs into software because they were seen as unprofessional and untrustworthy

fun fact: although North Korea is widely considered the world’s only necrocracy with its 1998 constitution naming Kim Il-sung “eternal president of the republic”, it is neither the only nor even the first currently-existing necrocracy—though it is probably the only *state* that is a necrocracy…

a three panel line-art comic in the style of airplane safety instructions or a similar primarily-visual instructional document. the panels are captioned at the top. each panel contains an illustration of a white man in a white t-shirt and gray shorts in a specific pose.

panel 1: “lie down”
the man lies on his right side, hugging his knees to his chest. there is a white puddle at his head appearing to come from his mouth or face, and an indistinct object behind him that could be a broom or mop.

panel 2: “try not to cry”
the man lies on his other side, an arrow indicating that he turned over. he is still hugging his knees to his chest.

panel 3: “cry a lot”
a closeup on the man’s face. he is crying, a tear flowing from his right eye. a small puddle has formed under the left side of his face.

Grogu’s family has announced he has passed away. “He was probably like 56 years old, which is like a baby age for little freaks like him,” his mother told the Times. He will be flushed down a special toilet with an extra wide pipe designed for Yoda disposal. “Like a big green turd,” she added

RIP DNA, Hitchhiker’s Guide had an outsized influence on me because I read it at a probably inappropriately young age, but 25 years later I’m glad he died when he did so we didn’t have to find out whether he would have caught the TERF brain worms

one of the pettier hills I'll die on is that discord and other chat or messaging services are not "social media" unless you consider any medium that facilitates socializing to be "social media". so if you wouldn't consider any space with a breathable atmosphere to be social media, neither is discord

stridently: if you're going to mark the intended tone of your text when conversing online, you should do so like the elcor in mass effect indicated the tone of their speech: by describing it up front. or at the very least, never use "/hj" because I will never *not* read that as "handjob"

I had zero idea what my adult years were going to look like (which maybe explains why I feel like a 42-year-old adolescent. well, that and the second puberty) so I can't really answer this question other than to say that I didn't think donald fuckin' trump would be president once, let alone twice
