Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I'm ready for (a) warmer, and (b) thicker air. Plane leaves at 0330 for both. 100
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I’m here for the Scalzi on Scalzi Oxford comma Battle Royale. What’s next, em dashes? Bring it on! 000
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 02/08/2026The Man-cub is 2114 miles away in San Francisco. The She-cub is in NYC. How var? 2123 miles. The distance between SF & NYC? 2572. Almost a perfect isosceles triangle. 120
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 16/06/2026The market closes a day early this week, on Thursday. It's also option expiration day. It'd be real interesting if an announcement comes out that morning that there is no deal. Market drops, puts clean up. 020
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Anyone betting on the "deal" failing and this being solely a market manipulation? 010
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Channeling my inner @kaimatai.bsky.social with the waterfall photo 150
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Avis is the worst car rental company. Nothing but hassles. Fuck em. Long, hard and deep. 020
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Bemused is not a synonym of amused. It is, however, a synonym of the word puzzled. The more you know, the better your writing. 010
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 18/05/2026I'm back, bitches. Back in the US, back in the US, back in the US of A. And it's...meh. Sticker shock for sure. 230
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Travel day: I start a 31-hour marathon journey from SE Asia to the Midwest USA. Long layover in Tokyo. Woo. Have a Global Entry interview planned, so a bit longer stay in the first stop in the US. 130
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Why does dropping a watermelon sound like jazz music? It's a meloneous thunk. 000
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 13/05/2026That's the basis of the whole christian religion: all decendents are liable for the crimes of their ancestor. 120
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I can see a "Weekend at Bernie's" situation in the republican party wheeling out a dead orange shitstain and claiming it's still living and presidential. Even to the extent the Supreme Joke justices toss out the 22nd Amendment, and his corpse is "president" for another 4 years. 010
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I'll qualify it now to "...if you think there won't be any more *fair* elections..." 120
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Suspending the gas tax won't change pump prices much, it'll only put more money in the hands of the gas companies and their stockholders. Which is, I guess, the point. 010
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Any of these idiots have never done anything more athletic than staring at their own testicles in the mirror. What a load of fuckwits. 010
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Cool, cool, cool. Release the Epstein Files. 030
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 09/05/2026"pandemic potential is tremendously low" USA Gov't: "Hold my beer, and Kash's whiskey" 120
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Discovered the archive of the daily radio show called 10@10 that was put on by a now-defunct radio station out of SF (KFOG). "Ten great songs from one great year" Songs intermixed with news clips from the year. Used to listen at work back in the day. Nice to revisit. 000
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I'll believe Al Jazeera reporting from Iran before anything the White House press (cess) pool puts out regarding, well, anything. 000
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Reading the latest Dungeon Crawler Carl book and I find I don't care anymore. I think I last thought it was good was two books ago. 010
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 07/05/2026My currrent Bluesky hobby is muting all the [porn] anime comics appearing in the Bubbling up and Discover feeds. Wonder if I'll ever get them all? I'm doing a dozen or so daily. 030
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I'm curious. Is there a single Republican politician at the state level or higher that isn't a toady to the Orange Shitgibbon, and capable of recognizing fact and telling the truth? 030
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 29/04/2026More evidence the NYT is dreck: listing the top 30 living American songwriters and omitting Billy Joel. 040
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 29/04/2026I just realized that the Marmalade Monster was 1/2 right when he said he'd ended 8 wars. He's ended the War on Crime War on Poverty War on Hunger War on Homelessness 010
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Pretty happy I renewed my passport last year. It won't be up for renewal until long after the Orange Chud is dead and all his arrogant narcissism erased. 240
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Ah, the USA: that well known haven for deposed dictators and tyrants. 000
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 13/04/2026If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh 130
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 10/04/2026"warned not to place bets on prediction markets"... without explicitly cutting the Orange Shitstain in on any profits. FTFY 000
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 07/04/2026The USA, as a country, is a bully, a hegemon by way of force and generally a shitty world player. Its people are generally decent, though. 010
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 05/04/2026So it’s Infrastructure Week finally? Or just Infrastructure Tuesday? 020
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 03/04/2026During my three weeks in southern Africa, I didn't miss social media, the antics of the demented orange clown, or the general state of affairs. I did miss seeing food updates and singing from Dave and photos of pets. 130
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 31/03/2026My decisions to move largely to cash last year, and in Feb, an oil-enhanced income ETF seems to have been good ones. 130

Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Man, someone needs to Ides this guy. IYKYK 010
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 15/03/2026It'd be notable and incredibly on point if another mad emperor (wanna be) got whacked on the Ides of March. I, and much of the world, would cheer. 020
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 13/03/2026So, I've been in transit for almost two days. Anything happening out there? Anyone special dead yet? 100
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 09/03/2026These wankstains in the US govt started this war with all the forethought of playing a videogame. I bet they think they can just "turn it off" and walk away. 020

Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Glad I booked the second ticket when I did (Not avail now). My original flight was canceled then rebooked overnight to be something unusable. I'd still have likely taken Option 2, regardless, but now there is no decision-making. 120
Walkabout Slang @walkaboutslang.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Of the fifty books on the Goodreads Most Read list for this week, only six (by five authors) were written by men. Interesting. 000
