Kerning. It matters.

EEEE SO SMOL! https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/new-wild-cat-species-identified-rcna598113

@emily_rugburn@lgbtqia.space and vice-versa!

Pathetic. The limpest dick in Congress, Mike Johnson, sent everybody home early to avoid a vote on Massie's articles of impeachment. What a weasel... #USPolitics https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-leave-early-punting-hegseth-impeachment-vote-november-elections-rcna598147

If you fly from the ridiculously-renamed West Palm FL airport with its new airport code DJT, to Sioux City, your routing will be DJT-SUX. Or, from Fukuoka, Japan: FUK-DJT. Or that these routings are even possible but do not ith that what you will. #Trump

@mattblaze@federate.social KY resident here. If he dies or is expelled before I think August 3, then there will be a special election held and the GOP is petrified that Massie would run and win, and spill ALL the Epstein tea. If that deadline passes with him still seated, then it goes to the general. KY GOP rigged it so Gov. Beshear cannot appoint a replacement.

RE: https://sfba.social/@drahardja/116973530714682458 The wipe-out continues today... down –11.50 and change. #FuckTesla #TSLA And FU Elmo. Your wealth is all in TSLA and SPCX stock, hope you've lost many billions this week.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@pheonix/117043863983694428 If it all got unplugged tomorrow my workday would not change an iota because I never started using that garbage in the first place. I dicked around a little with making Copilot create images of Soviet airliners in the colors of the big US airlines. It amused me to make a TU-114 in Delta livery. Yes I am weird. Then I turned it off and went on with my life.

@bruce@darkmoon.social @Kierkegaanks@beige.party @SecularJeffrey@ohai.social and all the branches of the military. Like being a cop, military service WHICH I AM NOT AGAINST EITHER OF THEM draws these types who were bullies in their youth and when they FAFO that it doesn't work in the real world, they gravitate to jobs where that's an asset. Apparently.

Not the first time I’ve read about this cholesterol myth. Unless you inherit congenital hypercholesterolemia, it’s not a thing to ever worry about much less chomp down statins and other crap that will hurt you far more than a total cholesterol of 200… https://researchtranslation.substack.com/p/is-your-doctor-a-cholesterol-bully

I'm staying in a grand old downtown hotel in York, PA, that is unfortunately downtown with roaring motorcycles and loud cars racing and police/fire sirens that I hope don’t blare all night… WTF is wrong with these people?

I’m at this little Mexican place in Laval, Quebec, and they just did a birthday thing. And it was really kind of cute. They brought out a little cake slice with a sparkler in it and played some boppin’ Tejano music. Everyone clapped along, nobody sang happy fucking birthday, then it was over quickly. This is the way.

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe @L1vY@mstdn.social War of the Gargantuas. That movie freaked my 6-yr-old ass out.

Invisible BMX! #Caturday

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org There's no such thing as too much garlic. I made baba ganouj once. While using a stick blender (all I had at then) after roasting and peeling the eggplant it squirted about a six-foot jet of purée all over my (at the time) tiny kitchen. Now i just buy it prepared. Way easier!

RE: https://mstdn.social/@GayDeceiver/116919849635694119 Seems I’ve been graced with a Copilot license on my work PC and now my 365 apps are infected with that shit and it’s already getting in my way. I have ZERO need or use cases for thiss trash.

@livingpixel@indieweb.social you mean a padded room like for crazy people.

@pheonix@hachyderm.io a friend‘s company did that and now they’re being told to cut back a lot. Oops. Even if my employer did there’s very little use for it in my particular job. It’s for lazy people who sit on their asses all day, not us out there at customer sites.

RE: https://meta.masto.host/@GamingNews/117045479656631234 The time to upgrade/replace your computer was last year, sorry. I was fortunate to max out the RAM and SSD when I bought this Macbook Air M4 last year. Hope it lasts through the AI-pocalyse…

Oh god not this shit again… and yes, almost but not quite as mind-bogglingly-stupid as shooting them into space and hoping they only fall down on poors. https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/08/05/atomarine-nuclear-powered-ai-data-centres-at-sea/

@paninid@mastodon.world Another reason why I will continue renting post-retirement. And yeah renter’s insurance will go up a bit too, but not like homeowner’s in these areas.

$APPL beat estimates, stock still sank –$20. I don’t get it either. But garbage stocks like $SPCX $CRWD and even Trump’s shitty platform $DJT barely earn a profit if any yet trade far beyond their worth.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social and 100% gay men are all “Girl... no.”

@3daymonk@famichiki.jp @mcnado@mstdn.social @paninid@mastodon.world yet they can’t make the connection as to why OK and others are at the bottom.

RE: https://mstdn.social/@SueInRockville/116971061498026964 So vulgar, but decorated at 3am with a hot glue gun by a demented sack of suppurating assholes. “Needs MOAR tat!” #Trump

Unsure why someone would have this sticker on their own car but I’d like to buy some and slap them on Cybertrucks and huge obnoxious Bro-Dozer pickups and useless jacked-up Wranglers.

Good fucking riddance. One down, one to go. #LindseyGraham #SadTrombone #USPolitics

Yeah, my Dad didn't give his life to defend some racist MAGAt asshole wearing a flag-motif onesie or whatever, or wrapping their huge pickup with the stars and stripes and a huge screaming eagle. Fuck off with that shit. None of those Meal Team Six keyboard warrior cowards will ever earn this burial flag, here guarded by the spirit of Bastet and a catrín bombero. #USMC #Veteran https://steadystate1.substack.com/p/the-flag-is-not-a-prop

Dammit there's another green-assed fly in here! Prepare to die!!

I guess good for booksellers… and bad for the books, esp. old/rare. And pretty much everything non-fiction, technical, medical, textbooks, etc much older than 15 years is mostly obsolete and good idea you absolute idiots “training” fancy auto-complete on outdated information, like go ahead and scan that book I wrote in 1999 about Indesign 1.0 (that I wrote using QuarkXPress) and feed that into your janky plagiarism machine. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 https://www.404media.co/ai-companies-are-buying-tons-of-old-books-because-theyre-free-of-ai-slop/?ref=daily-stories-newsletter

@Oldfartrant@mstdn.ca @stevewfolds@mastodon.world @kibcol1049@mstdn.social Kinda mad I forgot to take the huge silica packs we use for shipping industrial machinery across the Atlantic from the trunk of my old wrecked Volvo before I sold it for parts. At least 1 kg each.

RE: https://social.coop/@Steve/116907247669396741 It must be an absolute torrent of ads now. One of the reasons I deleted my FB account about oh 7-8 years ago was the nonstop barrage of ads plus the creepy surveillance tech shoving ads at me for shit I’d looked at elsewhere. Thanks to ad-blocker tech in browsers that’s all history now. I simply never see them. But there’s no as blocker for email apps or any other apps. Just browsers. Which is why all the big social media platforms basically force you to use their client apps, at least on mobile. Maybe some day these assholes will realize their ad cannons just piss users off and they’re 99.9% ineffective anyway. But not today.

@somcak@beige.party O RLY?

RE: https://masto.ai/@unusual_whales/117003307458347245 Guess nobody's ever getting an affordable mortgage again. #USPolitics #HousingCrisis

I hate these AI-slop ads in Apple News. Look at this AI girl. Maybe she’s a senior in colege? BTW, I hate Apple News. It's full of garbage shitty slop ads, clickbait, even if you pay for News+ which I never will again.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@campuscodi/116985884020420822 Pretty sure my 2001 X5 will never suffer from any kind of security vuln from a gas pump.

"I’m telling y’all that someone with an extreme case of TDS geoengineered this weather in DC. Same way they geoengineered Trump’s inauguration to be one of the coldest in U.S. history. People with TDS hate Trump more than they love America," I don't love “America" (which is one of two entire continents and there's no means of controlling weather, you credulous dipshit), but yes, I do hate him more than any other living person so i guess I'm infected with “TDS".

Third-country deportation aka rendition is very likely a death sentence. Which is what they want. Let someone else kill them. You’re a kid brought to the US as a baby from I dunno Guatemala. DHS/ICE finds you 25 years later. They lock you up, no counsel, no due process, nothing exhibiting any semblance of humanity. Then you’re on a plane to Uganda or Eswatini, where you stand out like a sore thumb and can’t speak the language and oh they just pushed you off the plane with no money and no passport or any other credentials. You are destitute and stateless. You’ll be dead in a week. These ghouls don’t care. You are a parasite to them, a pest to be eradicated, treated with no more regard than a bug in the house. https://www.scotusblog.com/2026/09/trump-administration-again-urges-justices-to-allow-deportations-to-third-party-countries/
