Armchair rocket scientist graffiti existentialist. Old enough for it to hurt when I stand up, not old enough to have stopped noticing. Agnostic in principle, atheist in practice, #CSS guy, mzungu. I’m only here for the food.

This is what I’m getting when trying to use Bluesky on desktop, so on the assumption that this will spread to the mobile client, it looks as if my time here will be coming to a close. Ah well. As Kermit the Frog once said, “Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it.”
An age assurance dialog that requires “an accurate date of birth to use Bluesky”.  The only other option is to log out.

This got stuck in my head and according to my web searches it somehow didn’t already exist and it wouldn’t get out of my head until I actually made it so I did and now I’m going to share it with you.
The poster for the first season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” on Amazon, except the main character’s face has been replaced with that of the mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers, and the title across the bottom has been edited to read “The Summer I Turned Gritty”.

As usual, King Donald’s feelings don’t care about the facts.
Social media post by Good Morning America:

Pres. Trump has instructed his lawyers to scour through America's museums and rid them of exhibits that he calls "woke," specifically citing exhibits of slavery. @jonkarl reports.

I don’t know who of you need to hear this, but I’m pretty sure some of you need to hear this.
Odo from “Deep Space 9” asserts, “All pleasures are guilty pleasures if you're anxious.”

I made this back when the movie was about to release, feel free to share and enjoy (or not, I’m not the boss of you).
The Steve Rogers/Tony Stark “Captain America: Civil War” meme, with Tony saying “There should always be one space after a sentence.” and Steve replying “Two spaces.”  And then Tony glaring back at Steve.

I’m finally reading @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social’s “Authority” and came across a passage that hits extra hard right now.
As he watched the TV, he remembered a lecture in his second year of college by a professor of environmental science. The gist had been that institutions, even individual departments in governments, were the concrete embodiments of not just ideas or opinions but also of attitudes and emotions. Like hate or empathy, statements such as "immigrants need to learn English or they're not really citi-zens" or "all mental patients deserve our respect." That in the workings of, for example, an agency, you could, with effort, discover not just the abstract thought behind it but the concrete emotions.

“Let’s privatize space travel”, they said. “There’s no reason for the government to keep making rockets”, they said. “Let the Afrikaner nepo baby do it”, they said. …okay, they didn’t say that last one using those exact words. But they still said it.

In light of the President's statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately


Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!

A denim-clad leg is seen from close up, with the depth of focus on the inseam.  The leg closer and further away than mid-thigh is tilt-shift-blurred.  The leg takes up the right half of the image, folded upward as if the foot is up on a table.  Because it is.  The left side shows very out-of-focus items on a desk or other table; it’s hard to tell which.  What almost looks like a lava lamp sits there, though with squinting you can deduce that it’s actually a cup sitting just in front of the lower right corner of a computer monitor.

As of last month, the founding of Studio Ghibli happened closer to the end of World War II than to the present day.
A still from the movie “The Wind Rises”, depicting the two main characters, a bespectacled man and a slightly shorter woman, standing under an umbrella in a pouring rain.  They appear to be looking straight at the viewer.

“Checks and balances”, amirite? (Not that these are the only such abuses happening right now, given all the straight-up banana-republic-dictator shit pouring out of our regime. But they sat next to each other in a news summary and I couldn’t resist snapshotting one facet of our national suicide.)
NPR headlines:

• Lawyers for Rhode Island doctor allege she was deported despite federal court order
• The U.S. deports hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador, despite a court order

And he’s just getting started.
The Simpsons “worst day of your life so far meme“, except Homer’s head has been replaced with RFK Jr.’s.  The top panel, showing just Bart looking upset, is captioned “One kid died from that measles outbreak“.  The bottom, showing RFK talking to Bart, is captioned “One kid died so far”.

’Tis the season to hold this timeless holiday message close to our hearts.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer from the 1970s Rankin-Bass animated TV special.  A caption next to Rudolph reads “deviation from the norm will be punished unless it is exploitable”.

Proper footwear is an essential part of any #DIY home repair project.

In every relationship there is one person who loads the checkout belt like a Scandinavian architect, and one who loads it like a racoon on crystal meth.
The belt of a grocery store checkout lane filled with groceries.  The front half of the belt has been loaded with all the boxes neatly aligned as if to a grid, with like items next to each other (such as the flour bags together, the sugar bags together and next to the flour, and so on).  The items on the back half of the belt have are not arranged in any manner whatsoever, looking as if they were just dumped there en masse with no regard for alignment, type, or the laws of man and God.

Next follower makes an even thousand. I guess those lists really have an effect! I’m pretty much a Mastoherder, but starting to think seriously about cross-posting — just not sure how, or even if it’s a good idea.
