I hate that Apple Mail just shows "Yesterday" for an email timestamp and you have to tap to see the time.

Plenty of room on the screen to show the time.

Lots of annoying little things like this in modern software.

Playing Family Feud in VRchat last night with @bootsgoesbah.bsky.social hosting was an absolutely magical experience.

Yeah I know it's kind of old hat for people who have been in VR for a while, but still, that was incredible.

I WANT TO DO THE CONTROL BOOTH NEXT TIME

I spent most of the evening in VRchat. I sure hope nothing contentious happened tonight! It's Sunday night right? Nothing contentious happens on Sunday... Oh. Oh no. Anyway I'm going to bed.

This just came on again and it's incredible.

Out Run had a vibe that a lot of racing games could never touch. The music was like 75% of it.
I'm absolutely addicted to this amazing cover of "Splash Wave" from Sega's 80s racing game Out Run.

It's just SO GOOD.

So many hours spent playing this on my Master System when I was a kid...

BTW, just a note... if I don't follow you despite knowing you and liking you it's probably because you post and repost too much upsetting stuff here.

It's NOT personal, and I still like you. I just don't want to see a lot of that stuff.

Honestly fuck Starbucks. They've raised prices, removed a lot of the comfy seating from their stores making them a less viable "third place", and now mistreating workers too?

Find your local small coffee shops and support them instead.

Everything that made Starbucks great is gone.
BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

I found an (old, apparently!) VRchat where you can play 1993 DOOM.

Complete with pixelation and fairly authentic gameplay.

AND YOU CAN DUAL-WIELD.

Holy hell it's like a dream.

A rare political post from me, because it's relevant today.

I like Zohran. Wish I were in NYC so I could vote for him.

The fact that he's pissing off right wingers and billionaires to the extent he is means we need him and more people like him in office.

And on the other side of things, if you happen to be doing well right now, for whatever reasons, SUPPORT THE ARTISTS THAT MAKE THE THINGS YOU LOVE!

They need it more than ever right now.
Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.

We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

Last night in VRchat I got caught up in a large group of random furries basically moving from random world to random world every few minutes and goofing around doing silly things in each world.

It was so much fun even though I only knew one person in the group who left halfway through.

I want no AI, ever, in anything I do. No AI upscaling, no enhancement, nothing.

I'm worried about stuff like phones using it in their cameras soon (if not already) thus ruining every photo we take.

So sick of this. Please stop.

I typo "weekend" as "weeknd" often enough that I have to wonder if the recording artist did the same and was like... "THAT'S IT, THAT'S MY STAGE NAME."

You ever start petting your cat for a bit, but you're pressed for time so you can't do it too long, but you hear the purr motor startup and now feel guilty about stopping?

Annie did that to me this morning. Was almost late for work. :)

Anyone else seeing posts not... well, posting?

I need to show this to my bat friends to assert dominance.
Talk about an in-flight meal.

For the first time, researchers have captured rats hunting bats by grabbing them from the sky. Learn more: https://scim.ag/3Jqldmn

@paperfen.bsky.social I discovered your moontails recently in VRchat and I just had to give kudos. I love how you can turn the tail size up to 11. Because sometimes you need your tail to be one larger. :)

MY TAIL STOPPED FITTING IN THE ROOM; I got kvetched at by the instance master over it! HEE!

We've always wanted to make cat videos. It was just too expensive to film them regularly back then. :)
Something I love about archival films is that when someone had a couple feet of film left on a roll they'd often use it to film their cat. So many films finish with a few seconds of cats

So, here's some cats from the 1950s and 60s. They were loved

My honey jar says "do not microwave" on it.

And you know it's because someone tried to.

And it exploded.

And as they were cleaning up the mess they got angry at the honey company and decided to sue them even though it was their own dumb fault.

Desperately wanting cooler weather. Miami used to start cooling off around mid-October and be nice by Halloween. You'd often even get hoodie weather around now here.

Not in the past few years. Climate change has robbed us of weeks of nice brisk weather every year.

I got this cap around 1990 or 1991 or so. As you can see I wore the living hell out of it. No, it doesn't fit anymore; my head got fatter into adulthood.

But yeah, another reason I'm enjoying seeing the Jays in the World Series.
October 25, 2025 at 4:32 AM
Putting on the World Series because last time the Jays were in it I was 16 and rooting for them back then too. :)

Yes, even though I'm from Miami. Don't ask.
