  [me, waking in the middle of the night]: Do you smell roasting coffee? [spouse]: I smell skunk. Fam, this is what COVID did to me. Five years later, my sense of smell is totally rewritten.

  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Maybe they found and detonated the Tybee Island bomb?

  I am right-handed, but I use a computer mouse with my left hand. Why? Well, nearly thirty years ago, I took a second job doing freelance editing, and the constant mouse usage was giving me carpal tunnel syndrome. So I started using my left (uninjured) hand at work, and my (compromised) right hand for the shorter stints of freelancing. Balance the load, so to speak. Well, I now use a laptop with trackpad at home, no mouse. But I still use my left hand in the office. Right hand feels weird.

  Just a reminder, as you crank that AC and try to avoid wildfire smoke, energy costs continue to soar in the United States—and the Trump administration is making moves that will only make our petroleum-based energy grid even more expensive and more damaging to the environment. https://tcf.org/content/report/power-failure-rising-energy-debt-is-climbing-into-the-middle-class/

  This is all he has been doing as president, enriching himself. Oh, and fucking people over. There are probably a hundred such payments made over the past year and a half. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/us/politics/trump-south-korea-aluminum.html

  "I'm not feeling great. I don't know what's wrong. I can't put my finger on anything." "Oh. Does your finger hurt?" This woman is still married to me even though I launch zingers like that, unannounced.

  I know it is a Monday afternoon, but this Germany–Paraguay game is woefully under-attended. Sooooooo many empty seats, and many of them in prime seating locations.

  LOLOLOLOL so I just checked out the transportation options for getting to "NY NJ Stadium" for the first World Cup match, and there are two ways to do it: 1. Descend into the madness that is NJ Transit, where you must follow byzantine instructions about train stations and schedules, standing in lines in colored zones, and getting your ticket checked at multiple spots to ensure you've paid the exorbitant $98 fee. 2. Get thine ass to NYC and board a bus for $20. #NewJersey #FIFA #N...

  😂 So, we just went into a small restaurant that only has about eight tables. Something seemed a bit off. The host came up to us and said they had a momentary power outage, and even though the power had come back on, the Wifi didn't, which means their ordering/payment system was off line, so they couldn't seat anyone. I said, "What if I paid in cash?" "We can't open the cash drawer." "What if I paid the exact amount?" "We still can't place or...

  🚨 Calling all crafters 🚨 I am doing a project that involves adhering wool felt to a wooden surface (for chess piece storage). I've never done this. I get one shot to do this right (one $ piece of wool felt, one box). I have done a little bit of reading and it seems my plan of using the same wood glue I used on the joints to affix the felt—maybe diluting with water and brushing it on the surface, letting it get tacky, then pressing the felt on. Thoughts?

  What's had the worst impact on the United States: The actions taken in reaction to 9/11, or the actions taken in reaction to there being a Black president?

  @lisamelton I'm a pretty firm advocate for no AI use at our office. My simple line? "You are better than the AI." True here, too.

  Okay, so I've joined a podcast club where we all listen to a podcast and talk about it, and so I just visited Spotify's "top podcast" list and WTF now I feel old and very, very worried about the future of humanity. https://podcastcharts.byspotify.com/us/top-podcasts
