I was searching for a sling bag and suddenly got inundated by hyper-masculine “tactical” bags. I can’t explain WTF is going on with the scale of the truck here. It doesn’t look right to me. He’s either tiny and/or standing in a hole next to a monster truck. Chad needs a stepladder not a handgun.

I like the Apple Watch a lot. I’m in a minority where I don’t want a new form factor—mainly because I don’t want them to break backwards compatibility with watch bands. However, as long as Apple continues to put out such a bland selection of bands I’m not sure it matters. I’m so underwhelmed by the selection. Yes, I know there’s some pretty good third party ones, but the quality isn’t where I’d like them to be. I have a Nike sport loop they quit making & nothing compares. And don’t get me started on watch faces. Ugh. I’m not going anywhere, but the Apple Watch band and face ecosystem needs an injection of *something*. Whimsy?

My coping strategies have all failed me and I’ve been late to a meeting (I set up and hosted!) a day late paying my health insurance and nearly forgot to update my payment method with Adobe (f’ me that's expensive!). More accurately I've failed MY coping strategies by not properly creating calendar events and using my TickTick app correctly. This might be a good day to quit dev work and go to the art museum and reset. #ADHD

Shame on you CBS Sunday Morning. That UFC/Dana White profile was the grossest whitewashing of a “story” you’ve done yet. The shameless promoting of UFC on Paramount properties and the bootlicking and fawning coverage of Trump and White’s relationship with Trump is beyond the pale. Then wrapping it up with White’s “why can’t we all just get along and agree to disagree bullshit made me want to set the TV out on the curb with the rest of the trash. So glad I’m watching on an antenna and not paying you and the Ellison Oligarchy!

What the fuck are we doing now?!? “We’ve always been at war with Middle Eastasia.” To all the international Mastodon folks here, nothing this orange monster is doing or has done is supported by the majority of US citizens. Our system is fucked and run by oligarchs and corporations. Our social media is polluted and easily manipulated. Our corporate media is increasingly either owned by Trump supporters or run by people too cowardly to push back. Encourage your leaders to push back through the U.N. or other means.

It isn’t like I was watching CBS Evening News or CNN anyway. I have not watched 60 Minutes regularly since I went to college in 1989. (It was part of our Sunday ritual growing up along with CBS Sunday Morning and Catholic Mass). But I inherently trusted both news networks without thought. If I caught a snippet or headline I knew it was mostl likely solid and truthful. No longer. The erosion of trust and truth is the point. They don’t care if you really believe their propaganda—they just want to ensure you disbelieve all news. There is no truth beyond what the State tells you there is.

Watching an episode of NOVA. “The number of animal bones and structure suggests this was temple of great importance and feasting.” Maybe it was just a big ass nightclub and grill? Will archeologists excavate our sports arenas and adjacent bar district and conclude we were worshiping something other than money and capitalism? “Here in ancient city they called ‘Baltimore’ the pagans who lived here worshipped ravens. They had ceremonial inflated offerings made from the leather of porcine animals.”

Folks watching and reporting on the State of the Union here on Mastodon: do us a favor and treat it like the most sensitive movie spoiler or some other sensitive content. Put it behind a content warning. Why? Because the SOTU is a “tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Read a book. Listen to some music. Doodle and make art. Hell go to the original source and read Macbeth aloud to yourself. Watch Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead! Just ignore that old man behind the orange makeup.

@jdmcg@mastodon.nz @KayseeColorado@universeodon.com This is the “Truman Sports Complex” which is where the World Cup games will be played in Kansas City (top football stadium, “Arrowhead” home of the KC Chiefs and Kaufman Stafoum, home of the Royals.). The only saving grace is that the parking is for both stadiums when needed, but little commercial activity occurs around those stadiums connected to the games. No nightlife or game day activities. Just. Parking.

@FlashMobOfOne@mastodon.art I don’t think I can qualify as a “senior” graphic designer but I’ll throw my hat in the ring.

@FlashMobOfOne@mastodon.art HAHA! My organization of me, myself, and I. No, I'm about to offend people in multiple languages with bad LLM translation. Actually, I'm just trying to get the language switching code working with a couple example files and will take more care and seek help from humans when I get my itinerary and business narratives written.

I deleted Threads from my iPhone again. It brings out the worst person in me like Twitter. Pithy, mildly comedic replies are impossible when people are so tone deaf to satire or are being willfully obtuse to cause engagement.

A lot of you all are on LinkedIn too. I made a post there about a 9-yo Mac and EOL macOS (for marketing purposes) … over half the replies are saying to switch to Linux.

@dtm@mastodon.cc I wish I could respond to every one of dozens of texts I receive every month and have Schumer, Jeffries, et al read and understand our frustration. And then act accordingly. Do something, ANYTHING. It can be quixotic but gums up the works. Throw monkey wrenches in the gears. I don’t feel like they’re fighting. I don’t see them in Minneapolis at the protests. They’re not getting their hands dirty. I’m exhausted by our weak, feckless Democratic leaders. I will get in line and vote as I always do, but millions won’t if they don’t start fighting harder.

I live in the Kansas City metro. KC will host six #2026WorldCup matches and be the basecamp for Algeria, Argentina, England, and The Netherlands. Additionally Austria, Curaçao, Ecuador, and Tunisia will visit to play matches. I’m building a visitor’s guide to Kansas City with curated itineraries for half-day or day trips for those periods when fans or players are looking for local flavor of Kansas City. Anyone here planning on braving our stupid government and visiting? (We’re sorry, honestly.) #worldcup #worldcup2026

@caseyliss@mastodon.social My background is pure nerd, but life got in the way between my early Apple II and Mac days, college Fortran, C, and Pascal classes and today. I never became a real full stack developer. I had a different career in agriculture for decades before retaining myself in graphic and UX design. I can think like a programmer but I’m really a designer. Claude and ChatGPT have enabled me to take my ideas and turn them into actual apps. I don’t know if there’s an appropriate metaphor here. Am I cheating by using a laser printer and not carving my own letters out of lead?

Happy birthday to Charles Darwin! “I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything.” —Charles Darwin 1861, after he’d published “On the Origin of Species”.

@adgaps@mastodon.online In some ways it is my favorite Stephenson novel. I still like Diamond Age better but the world building in this one is so complete for me. Many cite Snow Crash as their favorite and it is one of those foundational sci-fi books that changed nerd culture forever. Big fan here.
