I pulled my laundry out of the washer to see that I'd failed to check all my pockets and there were four MicroSD cards in the bottom. ::shudder:: Wish me luck.

"Zombie" by the Cranberries was about an IRA bombing where children were killed. It was banned when released, attacked by all sides of The Troubles (especially by those with a vested interest in the carnage continuing.) Author and singer Dolores O'Riordan said it wasn't partisan, it was humanitarian. Just stop the killings, stop murdering innocents.

Which IMO is what the college protests are about. Yes, there are noxious bigot crazies, however mostly it's about stop the slaughter.

@bobmorris If I have my numbers right, Hamas kidnapped 235 people, returned about 60, and the Israeli government says they believe 35 are dead.

Over 30,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed since October 7, many of them reporters, hospital personnel, and children. The disproportionately cruel response is what's bringing people out in the streets and setting up tents.

What the heck is on John Kruk's hat? I've been trying to decode that logo for a week.

@IveyJanette We finally disagree in something. I suspect John's politics are bad, but I love the way he talks through the game. He's hilarious.

And his autobiography was co-written by a Daily News reporter named Paul Hagen who was sort of a pen pal of mine. Chris and I had dinner with him a few times when the Phils were on the road in SF and NYC. He even got everyone in the press box to sign a ball for my Dad's 50th birthday, including Harry Kalas!

@IveyJanette Maybe I'll have to check in the next time the Padres play while the Phillies are off. Were you doing the TV or the radio feed?

The Tandy Portable Computer 100, was a pioneering portable computer released in 1983 by RadioShack, part of Tandy Corporation. It featured an integrated keyboard, a built-in LCD screen, and ran on four AA batteries, making it highly portable for its time. 📠💻

At a dance recital with my mom

Mom: These are 11 year olds? They all have boobs.

Me: 11 and up. The girls in the center are from the senior troupe.

Mom: But the eleven year olds do.

Me: Eleven is fifth grade, so yeah.

Mom: I blame antibiotics. I didn't have boobs in fifth grade; neither did you.

Me: But I had a worse excuse.

How can someone still-frame a tv show in order to do a high-contrast image of some text in the screen grab, transcribe it so it's readable, and then put them all together in an image file without alt text?

End subtoot transmission.

Watched the first 90 minutes or so of Fallout and I’m still looking for the plot.

Which is not unlike playing the Fallout games.

@thomasfuchs It's very slow moving at first, then kicks into gear halfway through.

I just learned that Naomi Wu, that sexycyborg lady creator, was raised as a boy because of China's One Child policy.

And that it is because she was raised and had to live as a boy that she found a hyperfeminine, and particularly a super-busty, body to be extremely resonant.

Looks down at her own tits.

I... I'm just gonna sit with that for a little while.

Wow.

@popey I'm finally catching up to episode 25 and now Mark has me wondering what's wrong with scp? I know it's not rsync*, and I wouldn't use it for a very large bunch of files but it's certainly easy to copy a single file or a small set between machines where I have keys.

Some takeaways from a researcher who studied 15 years of every official e-newsletter sent by sitting members of Congress to their constituents:
📧 Republicans are more consistent in using key terms and phrases than Democrats
📧 Republicans use email more – and with more strategic timing, including being more attune to when people are likely to see emails
📧 Republicans use more images and links to friendly news sources

https://theconversation.com/ive-been-studying-congressional-emails-to-constituents-for-15-years-and-found-these-4-trends-after-scanning-185-222-of-them-225618

@TheConversationUS Even back in the Reagan administration, liberals tended to talk in paragraphs, conservatives in quick repetitive macros.

In the 90s Newt Gingrich and his allies weaponized it by calling any opponent who dared rephrase a dry, old, statement an inconsistent flip-flopper. Nuance and style were bred out of the GOP's rhetoric in favor of blunt repetition.

Now, repetition is all that matters, not truth, falsehood, or sound argument. Sloganeering without soul.

Someone told me that non-alcoholic Guinness is actually good. I haven’t tried it yet but it’s worth trying.

If it’s not good, at least it will be worth the story because non-alcoholic Guinness is a bizarre concept.

@atomicpoet If anyone can make a tasty NA beer, it will be Guinness, considering that all the others I've seen are based on Pilsners and weak lagers, which I also hate when they contain alcohol.

My memory sucks, so I can sort of understand the mindset of family members you need to come out to more than once, if they're not hostile.

I was in my thirties before I learned Bruce Springsteen isn't Jewish, and one or twice a decade I'm re-surprised by that fact.

Anyway - enough of all that. I've just realised I know / have met 3 people who claim not only to have met Elton John, but are friends with him. And the funny thing is that I don't believe any of them. I'm prepared to accept I might be wrong, but I do wonder if Elton John is in that sweet spot for people fond of telling porkies, where he's super famous but also seems accessible. Like would anyone here believe me if I said I know Elton (didn't even use his last name, just like I don't when we hang out)?

If Crackle is still a Sony thing that would be hilarious, given Sony's hostility to a federated internet.

My memory, especially for faces and names, is so terrible that I have thought I was meeting second cousins for the first time.

TIL: perfume is considered a "hazardous material" by the USPS. (I mean, I always thought the same in general, but you can't mail it without special packaging/declaration/etc.)

@ai6yr probably because so much of it is alcohol-based and therefore flammable.
