someguyiguess on tumblr: "spiders have got to figure out contracting I need to be able to call my local spiders union and be like "hey can you send a guy out for a few days the fruit flies are back" and then pay it in spider currency. I'll learn the conversion rates. I'll be generous with my rounding. please."

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

I pre-ordered a signed copy and the ebook. I've also already read the book because I have an ARC. I agree that it's not humorous science fiction. Though Ran does add a lot of deadpan comic relief.

I'm about 3/4 through (I won an advance reader copy via Goodreads) and it's pretty accessible. There are some expected references from previous books, but it stands pretty well on its own.

I switched from Mint back to Fedora and everything just...works? Even the fingerprint reader! I remember a not-too-distant past where you had to compile your kernel, spend 3 months fucking with video card drivers, and manually edit LILO boot sequences.

I like translating these covers back to English.
A Czech version of John Scalzi's Starter Villain with the Czech translated to English. 

It reads: 

Villain Easily and Quickly

I hadn't realized I won the Goodreads giveaway, but I just received an advance reader copy of The Shattering Peace by @scalzi.com. I can't wait to start reading it.

It's tough coming home and not being greeted by my cat. It didn't really hit me until I got home. He's been a part of my life for the last 13 years. My dad took good care of him, but I wish I could have been there in his final days.

This little guy passed away last night in his sleep. I took him in after my grandpa died in 2012. I'm unsure of his exact age, but he was around 16-18 years old. I'm out of town this week, but he was with my parents and was comfortable in his last days. I'm going to miss him dearly.

Put a boot on it to make it look pre-made.
A network cable is sticking through one of the small holes in the rack door. The end was crimped on afterwards to confuse people about how it got there.

I was going to comment on how the adjective-riddled run-on sentences gave me a headache, but then noticed it was an April fools joke. Curiously, it was included in the Humble Bundle last December.

I do want to read it, but even with the best intentions I'm unlikely to write a review. Is there a place to buy the ebook that's not Amazon?

This is a concentration camp. We have a humanitarian crisis within our borders. We have a constitutional crisis. If they think the protests have been bad, wait until the rebellion starts. At this rate, it won't be long.

Found this cleaning up old pictures. Reaping dead kids always feels weird.
A screenshot of terminal output. The prominant lines are "Reaping dead kids" and "Got dead kid". It's referring to child processes, not actual children, I think.

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

FAST COMPANY Article: 

While retirement typically occurs, after
completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals
called "micro-retirement." Micro-
retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months.
Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD. Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?
Feline Feces (lib catturd)
@kitttenn.bsky.social

M dashes (the long dash) are a dead giveaway. LLMs love using them for some reason, while actual human beings have no idea how to type that into the computer.
They also love sets of three, overtly parallel structure, and impersonal writing.
