Ran sound for a roller derby bout this evening plus an after-party. I think I’m too old for after parties, but then again, I think I was always too old for after parties.

My best friend, Penny, doesn’t usually let me take photos of her. She literally spazzes when I point my phone at her. So, here are some rare glimpses of her weirdness right now! #DogsOfMastodon #dog
This image shows a tan and white dog resting on a red and white crocheted blanket. The dog has distinct markings and bright blue eyes. It looks directly at the camera with a calm expression, its floppy ears slightly relaxed. Sunlight creates a bright highlight on the left side of the dog’s face and body, while the right side falls into soft shadow.This photo shows a tan and white dog with bright blue eyes. The dog is resting on a red and white crocheted blanket, looking off to the left with its mouth slightly open and tongue visible. Sunlight is casting a bright highlight across the left side of its face, while the right side is softly shadowed. In the background, there are several books standing upright on a shelf, slightly out of focus.

Been staying up way too late catching up on shows I’ve wanted to watch for years. Starting to feel really rundown from nowhere near enough sleep.

I do so enjoy my conversations with the kid.
A text conversation with the kid. Text follows:

Kid: im laughing right now

Me: There's an internet shorthand for that. It's "lol"

Kid: i know but our texts are usually formal (kind of).

Me:    Dear child,
I find the supposition that our missives are usually formal in nature to be a slight bit exaggerated. I, myself, usually speak in the parlance of our times, of course. Obviously the occasional diminutive of "laugh out loud" would be acceptable. Or perhaps even the proto-version...
"Haha!" would even be appropriate in our palavers.

Yours truly,
Jon

P.S. Hope your summer is a smash!

Kid: Deer Jon
yo yo man i didnt understand shit you just said
urs truly, j

Me: lol

What better way to test out #Ivory app’s new audio posts ok #iOS than to publicly post the first track of an #album I’ve been working on for some years called *King of The Zoo*. The title is “Better Days”. #music #rock #heavy #indie

I really enjoyed the first two episodes of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy! I was a little worried that the “youthfulness” aspect of the show might not work for me (since I’m old and only getting older), but honestly there was a lot of heart there and that’s timeless. Plus I feel like I picked up […]

“That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Does this look like a “domestic terrorist”? @KristiNoem needs to resign. @JDVance owes her son an apology. Shame on everyone.

I don’t know who made this originally, but I just love it so much! Came across it on my desktop during a cleanup session and wanted to share. #Worf #SlayerOfGowron
A Starbucks style coffee cup with a Klingon style logo with Worf’s titles written on it as if he himself had ordered the coffee at a Klingon Starbucks.

Sometimes I think having #ADHD just means I spend an inordinate amount of time and energy trying to get my brain to stop producing gibberish.

The crazy thing is that if I were to still live in a state like Texas that doesn’t have an extended Medicaid program I would get none of that extremely expensive healthcare.

There were also some really great sci-fi concept episodes in all the different shows. Especially loved the time dilation because of black hole at the other end of the Stargate episode!

Today is the 100th anniversary of Edwin Hubble discovering that those fuzzy clouds were actually other galaxies! #lookup #space #Astronomy

Finishing more drafts and publishing them. Latest: my review of Snac (★★★★☆), an _ultra_ -minimalist ActivityPub server that reminds me of an old Web 1.0 guestbook (minus the garish backgrounds and colors). And yet it not only lets you post text and images and follow people on other […]

I just read a comment on a thread that said something to the effect of “I preferred the internet that wasn’t driven by profit focused influencers” and it made me realize that I loathe that profit-driven focus of social networks these days.

The new Vitals feature in the #iOS18 #Health app is pretty neat. No new data really, but a straightforward way to visual data. When I got #Covid a couple weeks ago I felt awful and there was no doubt that I was sick, but interestingly the day before I […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I assume data centers are frequently decomissioning server hardware as new more efficient hardware comes out. who gets the old stuff? anyone have any intel on this?
