The bad choice: trying to control a character with one of those goofy little videogame controllers.

I want year around DST. Everyone hates changing the clocks twice a year. Daylight is precious, so we should save it rather than wasting it -- especially in the winter when there's so little of it. Less light makes my depression worse. "Falling back" every year is a huge middle finger to me.

PSA: never put anyone on a pedestal because it makes it easier for them to look down on you without realizing it.

Fortunately, I am not a single issue voter either (and this wouldn't be my single issue if I were), because it would sure piss me off to have to vote for Marmalade. I think this is the only issue that's come before Congress where I agree with him.

The study was on the DoJ website; I can confirm this, because I looked it up twice after two different right-wing terror attacks in the US. The first time was after my church was shot up by someone who had been listening to right wing hate radio. Scrubbing it was purely to support Trump lies.

One of my first and coolest pieces of art by @alector.bsky.social (2011!) Music can portal you off into another world entirely. 🎶 Still love it to this day.
An art piece of an anthro red fox behind a silver musical keyboard. His elbows are leant on the keys whilst he stares into an opened wall space that leads into an enchanted looking forest with a brown path that leads into the distance. A Beatles abbey road poster, black monitor speaker, a white radiator and a red shelf are visible on his right.

The franchise jumped many sharks over its history, but it's arguable that it was ruined before George sold out to the Mouse. For me, after Ewoks, the next movie was still must-see, but after midichlorions and Jar Jar Binks later movies were just eh, if it's convenient. I still haven't seen some.

If AI is such hot shit, and the thing it's most especially good at is programming, why are there still bugs in software? Buffer overruns, unsanitized input, use-after-free, uninitialized variables, memory leaks, off-by-1, race conditions, etc. -- how can such remain after all-seeing AI has looked?

boss, the fascism
Tumblr post by user Nitewrighter that reads:
Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? 

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

You know who we need most when companies overreach and desperately need reminding of their place? People who are already spending their cash on said company. I would love to start a Cancel Your Nitro Membership and Pass Along the Sentiment train. Just cancelled mine. Join me ✨ 🌹
Discord is going to reintroduce Global Age Verification, which restricts teen accounts.
Teens will face several limitations:
- Blocked access to NSFW channels and servers
- Sensitive media automatically blurred in chats and direct messages
- Mandatory message requests for incoming texts
- Restricted speaking access in Stage Channels
To lift these restrictions, unverified adults can confirm their age via one of the following options:
- Credit Card checks via k-ID x Stripe
- Official ID through k-ID
- Selfie
- Google Wallet

If I were an admissions officer, I would definitely prefer an applicant who had a clear idea what they wanted to study, and hopefully offered a serious argument for why they'd decided that, than someone who doesn't know why they're there. But nobody ever asked me to be an admissions officer. 🤷

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are floating, eyes closed, cuddled up so tightly that they're coiled together.
Green, narrating: I want to cuddle in zero gravity. You could sleep without being bothered by me tossing and turning and you could keep us both warm, we won't need blankets.

A view of the foxes, floating in the deep blue darkness of space, illuminated by the moon and stars.
Green, continuing to narrate: If it weren't for oxygen, we could space travel.

Walgreens has a restrictive covenant preventing a pharmacy in a location next door to a store they closed years ago. The struggling neighborhood needs a pharmacy. Walgreens refuses the mayor's request to waive the covenant. Walgreens sucks. Shop somewhere else. www.news-gazette.com/business/ret...
news-gazette.com
Restrictive covenant stymies plans for pharmacy near long-closed Walgreens on Philo Road
“No pharmacy is allowed to open there until 2042,” said local realtor Phil Fiscella, who is representing two individuals who seek to open a small, independent pharmacy in the community.

All authoritarians are deeply threatened by anyone who thinks for themselves. Smart authoritarians love thinkers who choose to agree with them. They court such, reward them with power, and let them refine the doctrine. All authoritarians teach their sheep to condemn the rest.
