Side by side image of one of the Borg from Star Trek.  On the left is a typical Borg with wires and tubes running all over the place.  The caption reads “This is a Borg”.  On the right is the same Borg but with all the cables run neatly in bundles. The caption reads “This is the Borg with cable management.”

[Food] Sausage making day! Loaded baked potato sausages, recipe from #chudsbbq We’ll find out how I did in a couple of hours. 🤞
Modern kitchen with wood cabinets and a gray center island. On the counter are various ingredients prepped and ready to make sausage. There’s a tray of partially frozen pork shoulder chunks, a meet grinder stand by ready to work. Next to that is a sausage stuffing machine and several bowls with spices, bacon, cheese, and frozen hash brown nuggets.Same modern kitchen as the last photo, but now the ingredients have all been combined and stuffed into sausage casings.  The sausages sit on three small wire racks that will go into a small smoker for the next several hours.

There’s nothing I hate more than an app with a notification, but when I look through every part of it I can not figure out what it’s trying to notify me about.
A Google Maps icon with a big red 1 on the top corner, telling me there’s something it’s trying to alert me about.

From @fatherflot.bsky.social
Side by side photos of Donald Trump picking up his phony FIFA “Peace” award and the Grinch from the animated film How the Grinch Stole Christmas taking the star off the top of a Christmas tree.  Both of their postures look very similar.

No, google, I do not. 🖕
On the Google search page, searching for emacs.  Google's "helpful" response is "Did you mean vim?"

We'll, well, well, look what showed up yesterday.
A bronze statue of Jimminy Cricket standing on a candle holder.  There's a plaque on it saying it's for recognition of 30 years of work at the Walt Disney Company.  Technically I've only worked at Disney for 10 years, but I've worked for ILM/Lucasfilm for 30 years and since Disney bought them, I guess the time transfers over.  Not complaining...
