@robb What can you do with the ABXY keyboard extension? Is it just for gaming or can you make i into a poor man's StreamDeck?

@alexandra I listened to Taylor Swift when she was a young teenager making country music albums but I haven't tried her newer stuff yet,

A guy in my office has a Herman Miller Aeron and he's a real jerk, so there is that.

❓ The student worker, who gets paid an hourly wage, is confused by the notion of clocking in and clocking out and definitely does not approve of signing in and out of the office with a destination.

✏️ The Spotlight Effect

The spotlight effect is the psychological phenomenon by which people tend to believe they are being noticed more than they really are. Being that one is constantly in the center of one’s own world, an accurate evaluation of how much one is noticed by others is uncommon…

How I Internet https://louplummer.lol/post/how-i-internet I do not have the time to internet the way I want to. In a perfect world, I would stay caught up on my RSS feeds instead of being somewhere around 7,000 articles behind. I would have all three of my email accounts at Inbox Zero instead of just the...

@alexandra Yeah, I dont have time to read anything close to what I’s like to. I just make priorities with the time i have and keep moving.

I have referred to my wife, the ultra-running grandma, as Wonder Woman for years. Today a gift from a random Internet stranger arrived in the mail. Things like this chase the toxic away.

🚴 So my daughter and her family (all cyclists) are going to France in July and they don't plan to see a single stage of the Tour de France and I don't understand where I failed as a parent.

@amerpie@social.lol avatar

@greg They are all Tour fans too, but the logistics of the trip just didn't work out for them. The race is wonky this year because the Olympics are happening at the same time. It doesn't even end in Paris.

@greg One of my cycling buddies went a few years back and came back amazed at the size of the riders. He said most of them are as big as your average middle schooler. Even Mighty Mark Cavendish, the sprinter, was tiny he said.

I will always believe we should honor fallen troops by doing everything we can to make sure no one ever dies in dubious future wars. When we sacrifice our young people, it should mean something lasting. This is my grandmother’s brother, Gratton McFadyen, who died fighting fascists in Italy.

That time in the 90s when I went to a gun show in a Clinton-Gore t-shirt just to screw with the crazies, whose level of insanity I severely underestimated. https://louplummer.lol/post/an-undercover-liberal-at-a-gunshow

@bup I love it. Jack Baty is probably a great guy, but I am much more interested in seeing what people like than what they dislike. I especially respect that you put your hometown on there. I love mine too (Fayetteville, NC) even if it gets a lot of crap for being a military town. I recently wrote a piece much like yours. https://louplummer.lol/post/twenty-sublime-moments

From my 100 Strangers Project - I asked, "What's your name, young man" and he said "Bobby, sir" and every time I see this photo, I think "There's Bobby, sir." That's his sister with him. They were at a park down by the Congaree River in Columbia, SC.

Cheer up Texans and Floridians, maybe you don’t live in the most backwards states after all. Here is NC, our legislature is close to banning all masks in public even for cancer patients. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/05/16/north-carolina-mask-ban-bill-passes-state-senate/73716924007/

Our grandson Connor is kind of stoic and not given to big expressions of emotion, but last night when he found we’d been able to get a car for him that can be outfitted with the hand controls he needs because of mobility issues, he was all smiles. I can’t tell you how much I love this picture.

🏫 We got a new student worker to replace the one who quit, and his first assignment is to work on the computers in HR. This ought to be fun.

@alexandra If we don't keep this one, the well may run dry and we will have to do without. I really want him to make it!

💻 And on Day Three our student worker quit after finding out that the IT department contains the people who pick up and move surplus computers, arrange keyboards on shelves and spool up old network cables. He thought we did sexy stuff like fighting Russian hackers in epic battles all day, every day.

Apple’s Top 10 Albums are a joke, designed 100% to pander to the demographic their market study said would be most likely to subscribe after seeing it. Aretha > Beyonce. Al Green > Fran Ocean. Where are the Stones, Led Zeppelin, REM, The Clash, Van Morrison? Bob Dylan GTFO https://100best.music.apple.com/us

Brushes With Celebrity https://louplummer.lol/post/brushes-with-celebrity Most people have a story about having a brush or two with celebrity. For some, it's a truly meaningful moment in their lives, something they went out of the way to make happen, perhaps even spent money on, like paying to have your picture taken with William Shatner at Comic-Con....
