per IMDB:“[Star’s parents] are living happily in the woods doing nothing, after a new family comes near them after they were kicked out of their home by monsters.”

& if you appreciate obscure Unicode glyphs… but in a look don’t touch way,
I’d like to share with you a recent discovery: my macOS 26.1 beta 2 has a delightfully improbable hand drawn 90s clip art aesthetic on e.g. U+1F5B0

font fallback unclear, Apple Symbol disclaims entry in Font Book

#unicode & #keycaps pedants ‘note:
Arguably ⌥ -Guy should be read “option-Guy”, but phonetic intent is “Alt-Guy”
(b/c my govt name is: Donald Guy; FYI: Dawn is a name I’m trying out IRL)

but do you even recognize ⎇ U+2387 ALTERNATIVE KEY… as anything beyond slightly odd ⌥ U+2325 OPTION KEY ‽

"huh. I’d have thought that a supercentenarian Italian man (or lesbian) would be more inclined towards marriage, even if widowed;

but I guess the vibe in PDX is maybe more conducive to just dating these days”

noticed a possible @dropout.tv @dimension20.bsky.social Fantasy High easter egg in yesterday's NYT Strands puzzle

[don't _know_ intentional, but looked into plausibility:
…bylined puzzle author follows—amongst other drag queens—players from Dungeons & Drag Queens [D20 S18] on insta, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Much the opposite! Euskatlantia was instrumental in the defeat to Falange-ism & remains an important voice in both the League of Nations & IWUSP

The Scots-Basque homeland also remains a power in geomagineering, in keeping with its raising from sea by Sugaar & Zurian Union of sea kelpies in 10th c.

[JP, 😭ing]: see how the postmodern neo-Marxist would Taunt Babylon! In guise of Catholic workman: trespass into Prima Materia, defrock the penultimate in the processional axis mundi, hatch the Egg w/i masonic Mystery, saddle Sirrush, and ascend the stairway, only to subvert Zhuyin swallowing the Sun

Yeah so … I re-enabled stage manager tho

(It seems to keep all of the new changes otherwise, but bring back the sidebar of groups of apps/windows. It now seems to default/always be hidden unless you drag over from screen edge? Also now overlays)

What, why would clear icon style apply to App Library?! [does tint on iOS 18?]

This is a needless usability nightmare
June 9, 2025 at 7:59 PM
well, that train of thought chugged along to "Crab Priest",

I’ve now been to 48 states*

This seemed like a better idea when I was still in Minneapolis

Huh, my PC went to sleep (S3) with some of the RAM RGB LEDs [you know… that /standard/ part of a DIMM … for gamers? (and friends of 🌈s)] still lit statically

I really didn’t know that was possible

( I did resume it, get them to turn off then sleep it again after noticing)

(next day Tumblr screenshot of) this 2023 tweet by @delatoid.com was trending on Reddit¹ again² yesterday

This prompted me to begin pondering how one might apply the Rising Sun flag³ design variation to a pride flag

And then I realized … that’s kinda just the xbox pride Shopify page⁴ banner

OMFG, I was aware that Sullivan & Cromwell did not stop existing last 70 years and I’d’ve been surprised if they’d turned it around

but I was not emotionally prepared for the anime time skip and “history doesn’t repeat but it rhymes” levels going from the Wikipedia article’s 3rd to 4th paragraph

It’s my PC; so I get to decide where the front panel is (and what angles of USB port I will accept as good enough)

weird software dev chievo:

(pretty sure first time) being thanked in an iOS app store release notes entry
(b/c it includes my [couple lines of json] PR)

(If not just a joke) … sorta

(This is 2018 11” iPad Pro with approx www.brydge.com/brydge-max-p... keyboard (prev gen))

eg M2 iPad air and this would be very nearly (ergonomically) an 11” MacBook - but it would run iPadOS

It might be heavier than a 13” air tho

Look I know it’s 90% the hair, but

Is it just me? or does Javier Milei (as in his state portrait, but also elsewhere) look enough like 1970 BBC boymoding Wendy Carlos,

that Milei also manages to—much less charmingly & though cis—appear to be somewhat-less-than-convincingly disguised as a man? 🤔

It appears that I was referring to Argentinian president Javier Mielei ; given the whole Libra situation, some extra lols

Absolutely dude sucks shit, but weird AnCap shit specifically which remains fully on brand with my too charitable read of him as an out of his depth Big Head type.
