Not super excited that #JonStewart spent a big chunk of his first episode back at #TheDailyShow bemoaning the fact that Joe Biden is old, a problem we can literally do nothing about at this point.

Well, my wife has now tested positive for #covid two weeks after she was turned away at the pharmacy because they are not letting people have a second bivalent #booster.

Fuck you very much, #CDC.

Wow, while #Walgreens is just showing no available appointments, #RiteAid is scheduling #CovidBooster appointments a full month in the future.

What a complete shitshow.

Welp, the pharmacy doesn't have any #covid tests in stock, so I'm not sure how we will know when Janine is no longer highly infectious.

I don't think this country could possibly have dropped the ball more painfully if we went bowling with our testicles hanging out.

Everyone should buy some solar glasses. Not only do they help you avoid seeing the dumpster fire that is the world right now, you can also look at eclipses!

Oh geez, I somehow drowned after getting stuck in a bubble elevator (which shouldn't even be possible) and have lost all of my items, including a full set of enchanted netherite armor and tools. #minecraft

Goddamn it, the one productive thing I've managed to figure out this year is that using a humidifier dramatically helps me breathe when I sleep, and now even that will kill me. https://mstdn.science/@jeffgilchrist/111870333897769088

I love how the senate minority leader's sister-in-law died while operating a product from the country's richest man, but all the public details about what happened are locked behind a Wallstreet Journal paywall.

Looks like we are running out of time to stockpile #minecraft librarians with all of the enchantments we need. It will be a lot harder to travel to different biomes for different books after the update.

Kinda infuriating the #twitter downloadable archive doesn't contain basic things like the name of the user that you are having direct message conversations with, just a undecipherable user id.

Kind of infuriating that the only place still taking #covid seriously are vet offices. I just had to drop off my pet rabbit curbside and could not be there for his euthanasia, despite how many other people are off gathering in crowds indoors without masks for no good reason.

As far as I can tell, the only big difference between #HBOMax and #justMax is that the branding is blue now, just like half of the other streaming platforms out there.

Does anyone know how to buy a fake identity? I'm not on the run from the law or criminals; I just want to be able to get an effective frequency of #covid vaccine boosters.

Wait, #GoogleDomains is shutting down?! I just finished moving all my domains there from other registrars! What the hell is wrong with this company? Are they just actively trying to get us to hate them at this point? https://arstechnica.com/google/2023/09/google-domains-halts-registrations-as-it-waits-for-the-google-grim-reaper/

It is a shame that Mastodon has done nothing to solve my biggest usability issue with Twitter: trying to find the posts in my timeline that I haven't already read because the home screen keeps jumping back to the top.

Well, I finally went ahead and summoned a wither in my #minecraft world. Things quickly got out of hand, and now I guess there is a section of the realm that will be permanently very dangerous to enter.

I am already exhausted thinking about 6 months of news stories every time some sort of ship or boat runs into anything at all.

Looking forward to four years of typing "BUt hIs AgE!!" because even the most progressive pundits can't refrain from punching us all in the balls for no reason.

I'm horrified that #blizzard went out of their way to create a new #indigenous character for #overwatch, and then the first skin they release for her is an outfit based on the Spanish conquistadors who came and slaughtered her people.

Rear view of Illari showing the dark red hat and cape that looks like a Spanish outfit of the period, despite having a sun and stars added as embellishments.

I'm sure #Meta will just hand over the trademark for #X. After all, I heard that the two CEOs are so chummy that Elon invited Mark to attend some sort of fight event with him a few weeks ago. https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-holds-rights-to-x-twitter-rebrand-elon-musk-2023-7

Wow, discovered a #minecraft seed with 7 villages and two pillager outposts in basically a ring around the spawn!

Nothing super exciting in the chests other than some iron pants and a sword, but every village is chock full of food. I have so much bread, potatoes, and apples.

It is a tragedy that #JoeThePlumber died of pancreatic cancer rather than in some way that reaffirmed how stupid he was, like a fireworks induced boat explosion or something.

mikemccaffrey, 9 months ago to random

It is absolutely fantastic that #Elon is renaming #Twitter to #X, because no one will be able to continue using it as if everything were still normal and they are not inhabiting the nazi zombie corpse of a formerly great online community.

Time for the now-annual jump-starting of the pickup truck on the first beautiful weekend of spring, after months of being too seasonally depressed to work on house projects or drive for non-grocery errands.
