Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I regret that I, too did not receive a Nobel Peace Prize even though I have, to my memory, never so much as even feigned a punch at another person in defense or offense. But I GUESS that isn't good enough for the Oslo crowd. 020
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Dang, that's a neat twist! Also per previous post, I do enjoy a good impressionist or expressionist painting. 000

Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I am so. VERY. Tired. Of the centrists trying to move right under the delusion it will help their chances. 030

Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Watched both for comparison, and Mr. Rogers' sure hits harder, maybe because it feels less produced and is more to the point about it. 020
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I appreciate this drawing even more now that I have learned its context! #CheckPoint 000

Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This is such a painfully 2016 take . . . We've had a decade to learn that it doesn't work. 080
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Other than the mention of mayonnaise (as a certified mayo hater) early on, I can theoretically get down with this. 010
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Also reminder that by the time Erika's streams come back, the discrepancy between U.S. West Coast time and BC time will go into effect (i.e. no "falling back" in BC), so plan accordingly! 011
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Ugh, sorry to hear that. Is there some place/organization in your area that handles e-Waste? 000
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I have less of a visceral negative reaction to it, but I guess I would be confused? 010
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Not sure which is more aggravating - getting the . . . 30th? maybe more? political spam text for this month, or that said spam text calls me "Jeff," a shortened name I have *despised* being called since 3rd Grade. 101
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It straight up almost looks like he's doing blackface. 100
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I have fond memories of the Frog and Toad books. I watched Mr. Rogers, but per my mother, the only parts I paid attention to were the little model trolley going by at the start and end. (Why yes I am neurodivergent, why do you ask?) Perhaps I'd appreciate it more as an adult. 010
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Season 1 really does have a TOS feel to it in a not great way, not to mention some real turds *cough*Code of Honor*cough*. I think the only Season 1 I have any fondness for is "Arsenal of Freedom," but I suppose "Datalore" should be put up there because that got followed up on in later seasons. 030
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 24/09/2026So when watching Twitch streams I've seen ads for "Virginia Connects" that are full of pro-data center propaganda. Tonight while cooking dinner, I saw an ad on the TV that was basically the same, but swapping out "Virginia" with "Oregon." I'm betting it's a single lobby group responsible for both. 010
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Experiencing the "quick-yet not so quick that even the densest people understand what's happening" fascism takeover in real time is . . . *interesting* 010

Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A lookup on Wikipedia indicates the white marble thing was Berdimuhamedow. He also reportedly banned all cars painted a color other than white, because he considered white to be a "lucky" color. 110
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 20/09/2026No offense to Kansas City, but if I have to lean in and squint at the logo to determine what city your team's from, you done messed up. 001

Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I would say I less have a midlife existential crisis - I'm kind of where I want to be, all things considered - and more exhaustion from being middle-aged in a world that's in crisis. Mostly trying to keep keeping on, sticking to my values, and showing up to protests when I can/know about them. 000
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 06/09/2026For whatever reason, the "Blueberry Seinfeld" is the name that offends me the most. It feels like the least-effort one. But yeah, this whole menu screams "Every drink MUST be a pun/reference, dammit!" thinking. 070
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 05/09/2026No surprises, since I grew up in the SF Bay Area. Also, I would *love* to know where some of these other terms for a sunshower are used. 000
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Have done this, and yep, they were *on* for both my desktop and laptop before I turned them off. 010
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Will probably tune in partway due to cooking dinner, but fair and I will make sure to tune in! 010
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 25/08/2026TFW you have the urge to read creative writing you did when you were in your late teens/early 20s and when you do you're "Oh, this is . . . pretty bad" 000
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I saw a post on Mastodon a few weeks ago that said, IIRC, "We no longer have a government. We now have overlords." And it feels true. 000
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I didn't actually party much, but do remember a couple of times I did, and more just generally hanging out with friends. Also remembering going to college reunion in 2018, and despite being in my 30s, staying up and hanging out with old classmates until like 2 AM, something I wouldn't have expected. 000

Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 09/08/2026It really is such BS. I remember going to the phone store in 2019 to ask if it would work during a planned overseas trip, and also mentioned that my memory was almost full, and they were like "Oh yeah most of that is like backend stuff you cannot delete, you might as well get a new phone." 010
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Hold on - if I'm reading this right, this is using the likenesses of actual dogs who have performed in movies? For some reason this increases my level of disgust, because the dogs sure didn't sign off on this AI-ification of them. 050
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 06/08/2026The fact that the chyron gives "Coach" as the honorary term rather than "Senator" is simultaneously hilarious and deeply sad to me. 010
Jeffrey Hayes @pharaohbender27.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I very much recommend this, between Molly Lewis's moody music and Cameron Lauder's reading. And on a day when the air outside where I live is hazed from the smoke of multiple wildfires, and the world being in the state it is, it feels tragically fitting for this very day of August 4, 2026. 010
