whatever. I may make a tool that reposts my mastodon posts here so I don't have to do it twice.

just a note, I always associated what you call "Postel's Law" here as being from Knuth, but i'm open to clarification.

I will never cease to be impressed by this bard's genius.

New term: "Bullslop" - to be used when you see an AI story that invents something (like a celebrity interview with a right-wing host) that never happened. Most recent going around is a story of #JethroTull 's Ian Anderson suing after a tv interview with Hegseth.

one hopes, but a clean free still has to go against what i'm seeing as a huge 1-2-4 from Japan.

a 10 point deficit is MUCH hard to get back than a 3 or 5. Liu's got better medal hopes at this point among the three.

that said, i think of any, Levito was underscored.

The difference between the two sides of #wintersports:

If your event is on ice, the ice is the one thing most likely to break your ass.

If your event is on snow, the snow is the one thing most likely to save your ass.

Ok that NFL-sponsored commercial using the Mr. Rogers song just told the people paying for the ICE commercial what they can do with themselves.

The "lets remind gen-x how old they are with a gen-x era hit song" (Phil Collins' Take A Look at Me Now' promoting a urine health supplement) didn't do me any favors.

I hate commercials. I wanted to see how large a lawnmower they needed to chop down Bad Bunny's halftime set. #superbowl #nfl #badbunny

yeah, I just read about the Dawkins-Krauss(-Epstein) connection and how they were talking about countering you from @pzmyers.bsky.social 's blog a few minutes ago.

House speaker Johnson is so much kissing ass that the AP has had to admit even AI can't color-correct his lips in photos anymore.

On how the #LotR #RotK EE didn't fully include all of the "Samwise the Brave" material (it begins AFTER he's passed the watchers using the Light of Galadriel),

Red-hat wearing idiots are dropping their CostCo memberships because CostCo decided to sue Trump over the tariffs that are illegal.

Yes, these idiots are dropping their CostCo memberships because CostCo is trying to reduce inflation and save them money.

shit you just can't make up...

Breathtaking shot from Breckenridge, Colorado πŸŒˆπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
 
A display of multiple stacked rainbows arcing over the forests of central Oregon β€” an extremely rare optical phenomenon that happens when sunlight scatters through layers of rain at just the right angles.

Moments like this are so uncommon, they feel almost unreal β€” nature painting with every color it has.

Making a crockpot of chili (6 hours mode).

Talking to myself (well, to the chili ingredients).

To the chili - next beer at 4:30.

To the can of beans - you go in at 5.

To the masa flour - you go in at 6. No, 6:30. Bring a friend.

God bless Alan Rickman. This is immortality. #AlanRickman

I think you're missing one thing (maybe because it is unverified?). Greene wants the GA Senate nomination 2026.

47 and the Party allegedly refused to endorse her, meaning she'll have a primary fight on her hands. Given the climate, she's tacking to the center to try to look winnable.

Iger had no hand of cards to play against Carr. He needed time to build up a hand. Knowing the position of the affiliates (incl Sinclair as well as the independents), the position of the advertisers, the strategy of the lawyers. Once he had all that assembled, he played his card: Kimmel on the air.

There is more, a LOT more, going on this week than just this seeming surface caving in to social media. For one thing, late September is the lowest numbers at WDW and it has been that way for, oh, crap, 64 years. It just is. That's why most of the refurbs happen either now or in late January.

@iflscience.com asking how the world will end tomorrow, my reply:

I hold with those who favor fire, but ICE is also nice, and will suffice.

I stumbled on to the Castellore Chianti today, and at that price, it was worth trying...then I went "woah", looked it up, found your review, and totally agree with every word.

I equate it to a 'house table wine', the kind where they leave the bottle and charge you what they think you drank after.
