I've noticed an annoying trend for people to start new E-mail conversations with "Re: " in the subject line.
Don't freaking do this! Re: is short for "Reply:"; it doesn't make sense to use it for an initial message; only replies.

In other news, I moved Annie's cat cup into the sun because it's chilly down here!
She then promptly vacated it, because cats.

Last night Sotalo was doing one of his Virtual Furry Museum tours and after Sonic's early fandom influence was mentioned, someone in the audience told the story about how so many Sonic fans ended up on my MUCK, FluffMUCK, in the mid-90s.
What's wild is I hadn't heard that specific story before.

People talking about collecting fallen torpid iguanas in the cold and here I'm like "NO JUST LEAVE THEM THEY'LL BE FINE WHEN IT WARMS UP!"
I like my lizard friends. Even if they're an invasive species. :/

Here in South Florida most homes including mine have electric heat because almost never have to use it.
We can go *years* without running heat.
Since it's going to get super cold the next couple nights I just turned it on with the windows open to burn all the smelly dust off the coils.

I remember that weird fad of cheap AM only radios during the 80s.
I can assure you that NO ONE wanted an AM-only radio, even back in the 80s. In the 1980s FM radio was king, and actually really good.
My guess is AM radios were just cheaper to make at the time. The opposite is true today!

This power cord overheated and failed at work. 10 amps my arse. Those thin flimsy wires should barely be carrying three amps at most!
Check your power cords on beefier computer equipment, folks. If it feels flimsy it's probably dangerous garbage like this.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

So in Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" does she say "Poker Face" or "Fuck her face"?
Turns out it's BOTH, or just the first, depending on the version of the song. It's so subtle it's hard to notice.
And here we are in 2026 and I'm just noticing it now. O.O

I wonder if big corpo realizes that this sort of massive unrest and chaos will be bad for their bottom lines in the long run. When people fear for their lives they don't spend money, they stay home.

So you have a low resolution video that you want to share. It's from decades ago so it's probably 480p. Or even 360p.
You have two choices:
1. Upload it as is.
2. Run it through an upscaling algorithm, and upload that.
The correct choice is aways 1. ALWAYS.
Especially lately.

The original battery that came with my Dyson vac was 46WH. The first replacement I got a few years ago was 99WH. The one I just got now is 129WH.
I'm having my doubts about these numbers.

The Virtual Furry Museum has been removed from the @thevrcawards.bsky.social due to the art in the Subculture Exhibit. While this exhibit's content exists in numerous children's shows and tours helped thousands understand how our subcultures are saving lives, good luck getting people to care.

That utterly sucks. Either they love standards so much they have multiple of them or they are so disorganized as to not realize that their sponsor(s) contracts conflicted with their stated goals. And I'm honestly not sure which I would rather admit to in their position.

VRC Awards lost any credibility they had by doing this.
Removing an entire entry, AFTER people have voted, over relatively tame content that was originally in the submission, invalidates the entire contest.
