I think that’s what makes this classic tumblr post so fun

cowboys were a sort of itinerant warrior class common in meiji-era texas (June 18, 2022)

That’s fair! I’m bashing my brain against Colemak for similar reasons

Sorry I can't help myself

Keymap diagram of my keyboard layers. The last layer is a qwerty layout on the left hand for gaming (for when I don't want to bother remapping keys, but still want to keep my fingers on the home row)

oh no I've become a keyboard sicko

42-key Corne split isolinear keyboard with most of the qwerty keycaps removed, in anticipation of going true sicko mode (changing to use a non-qwerty layout)

The same keyboard, now with keycaps rearranged in the Colemak layout

So, uh, the NYT app in Japan is showing porn manga ads on the election results pages

Oh! Those are usually for ceiling mounted AC systems like this one

Ok i'm actually pretty proud of this.

So I broke down and bought a blu-ray player. DVD menus truly were peak cinema

Screenshot of the DVD menu for The Fellowship of the Ring. All of the options are arranged in a circle like the text on the one ring.

Wow, three years between installing Half Life 2 and activating any other game on steam

Screenshot of steam activation history. Half Life 2 was installed Christmas 2004, and the next game (Half Life Platinum pack) wasn't installed until September 2007

They're not even hiding what Cuomo stands for, are they

Fine print of the pro-Cuomo mailer. It says "Paid for by Fix the City, Inc. Top three donors: Michael Bloomberg, Doordash, and William Ackman"

Damn I didn't know @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social had Lee Atwater making ads for her. Guess that's what happens when you get in bed with republican donors

Picture of Shahana Hanif surrounded by police, from an attack ad mailer sent by "Stand Up PAC". The mailer intends for her to look like a criminal being arrested, though the photo (if it isn't fake) is likely from a protest. The whole thing has extreme "Willie Horton" vibes

If you ever wondered why you can't buy a bottle of anti-diarrhea medicine anymore, blame the Sackler family bottlequiz.com/why-cant-i-b...

Screenshot of an article that reads:

Reasons Behind the FDA’s Decision

The FDA didn’t make this decision lightly. They found that some people were taking dangerously high doses of loperamide to self-treat opioid withdrawal symptoms or to get high. By limiting package sizes and making the packaging harder to open, they hoped to reduce the risk of overdose and abuse.

Impact on Consumers and Pharmacies

These changes affected everyone. Consumers found it harder to access the medication quickly. Pharmacies had to change their stocking practices. It’s been a significant shift in how we handle this common medication.

Imodium Abuse and Misuse

Loperamide as ‘Poor Man’s Methadone’

Sadly, some people discovered that taking very high doses of loperamide could produce opioid-like effects.

Say what you will about the New York Times, they've been remarkably consistent in their coverage of Nazis

1922 article from the NYT entitled "New Popular Idol Rises in Bavaria", infamously the first coverage of Hitler in that paper and notoriously downplaying of the threat.

Welp, RIP chrome I guess

Screenshot of the chrome extensions "store", showing that uBlock Origin (the best adblocker, used by 32 million people) is no longer supported on Google Chrome because it "doesn't follow best practices" (i.e. chrome started restricting what extensions could do to purposefully kneecap adblockers, because intrusive ads are google's entire business model).

Fun fact, Nelson.social looks to be a mastodon instance run by a town in British Columbia. These are some server rules I can agree with 😎

Rule 4: to have fun and keep Nelson weird (followed by a bunch of emoji)

I finally cracked it! Purah from Zelda has the exact same energy (and elicits the exact same horny reaction from fans) as Washu from Tenchi Muyo

A still from the TV show. Washu grimaces as she observes the explosive reaction from the test tube she just poured into a beaker.

Not posting much this week because I am touching grass (and sand, and ocean. Mostly ocean)

Picture of a tropical island taken from a balcony high on a mountainside. From near to far is greenery, then a lake, then some grassland next to the shore. Some boats are moored off the beach, and other islands can be seen in the distance through the fog.

Mission accomplished, I guess. No more Johnny come Chaitly

Screenshot of NYMag story by Jonathan Chait called "A Farewell to New York" where he smugly says "The closing of a wonderful chapter in my career"

hello my friends, how are you feeling this evening?

"And what do you call the act?" "Democracy!"

Vote results for officer elections in the Brooklyn Democratic County Committee. The officers favored by the party leadership were elected with 98.12% of the vote because leaders control proxy votes

You know what they say, #111,168 in Bluesky, #111,168 in life

It would have been cool if they auto-populated the alt text for these things, huh? It's a social media card with my name and handle, the number 111,168, and my join date of June 8, 2023. There's also a stamp that says "Bluesky elder certified, first 10%"

Bluesky has reached a level of sword discourse where I need to mention PhDs in Finland. If you're unaware, I highly recommend googling them

damn this debate is really heating up

A screenshot of youtube, but it's a live broadcast called "Dog music: Calming music for dogs, separation anxiety relief, sleep music for dogs". The video itself shows a calm meadow in a forest.

SEO is more art than science

Kagi image search results for Marion Berry, about half of which are historical photos of Washington DC's best mayor and half of which are stock images of berries

We need to elect a NYC mayor who's actually a New Yorker
