teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Too good of a name to let go to waste so now I feel obligated to use it 120
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Starting a new series called Teak Talk. Have no idea what it will be about. No clue what the format or medium is either. Really have zero plans or ideas for what Teak Talk is or is supposed to be but it’s not every day a name that good falls in your lap. 110
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 05/10/2026How do I tell my irl friend that his Twitter account (government name, face pfp) is public and that this includes his Following list (me, a few other irl friends, Zohran Mamdani, 700 gay porn accounts) 3571
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I’ve long felt like I am meant to be an old man and am just waiting around for my body to catch up 130
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I think I have the genetic mutation that makes cilantro taste like soap but also a separate genetic mutation that makes me really like it 060
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Something really unsettling about watching someone present a Claudewritten paper and speak the Claudisms into existence in the real world 0340
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Point Roberts, WA is a U.S. exclave at the tip of a Canadian peninsula that barely crosses the 49th parallel. It is 5 sq miles and has a population of 1,191. There is a K-2 school on the U.S. side of the border but all other students must cross an international border 4x/day to go to school. 000

teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Held a job interview yesterday and the interviewee showed up with an iced coffee. I wonder if they Knew. 110
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 25/09/2026God bless the cryptographers for subjecting themselves to the fruits of their own labor. Following in a long tradition of scientific excellence. 120
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Hah, that would be a terrible design flaw, but doesn't appear to be the case. According the the Helios FAQ, all trustees must provide their keys in order to decrypt the results. vote.heliosvoting.org/faq 190
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 25/09/2026lmao how did I miss this. A group of cryptographers held an "secure" election using some fancy cryptography but one of the election trustees lost their decryption key and so the professional society of cryptologists couldn't figure out who won. Put it in Aesop's Fables! 516321

teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 22/09/2026We wore Hawaiian shirts out of respect but felt that a lei+hat would have been cultural appropriation “My culture is not your costume” — extends to the parrotheads as well 020
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Something halfway between qualiamaxxing and a post-ironic exercise in leaning in, iirc Akin to Mallory’s “Because it’s there” but swap “Mount Everest” for “wearing Hawaiian shirts and getting drunk at the Times Square Margaritaville” 010
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Food is inedible and even the margaritas are bad, somehow. Great place for those capable of "leaning in". 120
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 20/09/2026My friends are hosting an erotic fiction writing contest tonight, just a few days before (reluctantly) moving across the country. Preregistering my belief that their ultimate plan is to host an event so foul and awkward that they effectively burn all bridges and have no choice but to skip town 000
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Erik Satie's concept of "musique d’ameublement" but it's 2-hr home recordings of Soul Trainyoutube.comSoul Train, Sep. 30 & Oct. 7, 1972, plus Feb. 10, 1973YouTube video by Ugazzovision 000
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Yes people complain about bluetooth speakers on public transit but have you considered that sometimes the music is going to change your day if not your whole life? 010
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Guy with bluetooth speaker played this for a crowded subway train. Still reeling. You have to listen to it all the way through.youtube.comGalatians 2:1-10 (feat. Rapha)YouTube video by Rhythm & Bible - Topic 100
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 16/09/2026This is still (September 16, 2026) the type of garbage you get from the free models. No wonder the average person still thinks this stuff is fake! 050
teak @tk0l.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Hah, no I think this is a different one. Many stave churches just happen to look very similar. My pic is of the Borgund stave church, which AFAIK has been standing unburned since 1200AD. Easily confused with the Fantoft stave church (near Bergen) which was burned in 1992 and rebuilt shortly after.en.wikipedia.orgFantoft Stave Church - Wikipedia 141
