I automate things. Then I automate things that automate things. Eventually, I forget the things I automated, start to automate them again, only to find the fully working code that already does the work.

I like SciFi and have bad taste in authors

Watched the attendant at my local grocery store throwing away all the expired eggs. He had a decent cart full. Shortage my ass.

A four panel comic, panel 1 home can be a house and a small picture of a painted house, panel 2 home can be an ocean and a panel of a painted ocean, panel 3 home can be mountains and a painted picture of mountains with clouds, panel 4 home can be a person, and a crudely painted picture of a human with a xenomorph bursting out of its chest with the person showing obvious distress and pain on their face, the baby xenomorph has a little red heart above it.

The new regime's racism just helped inspire what I predict will be the Blackity Blackest Black History Month in a while.

Reposting this photo to commemorate the festivities.

Also, a whole mood.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

"Save Money!" they said...

THROW OUT YOUR SOFTWARE
The cover of PC Magazine ("The independent guide to personal computing and the Internet") from November 2, 1999. The headline issue, showing boxed software like Wordperfect Office and Microsoft Office in the trash, reads "THROW OUT YOUR SOFTWARE - Save Money! Run your applications over the web instead!" Big callouts mention "Special Report: Which Printer is Right for YOU? PC Labs tests 55 new Lasers, Ink Jets, Multifunctions" with pictures of some old Brother-looking printers; E-Mail Options, "The Internet Provides Multiple Ways To Keep Everyone In Touch"; John C. Dvorak, "Microsoft's Dastardly E-Mail Plot: While Hotmail Really Crashed", and "First Looks: New Desktop Systems, Adobe InDesign 1.0, Giage WebSpace, Consumer Image-Editing Software, Celeron Notebook PCs, Actiontec Call Waiting System" over a picture of a dark late 90s desktop tower.

Hubble image of Eta Carinae, the remains of the collapse of a giant molecular cloud.

🔭 🧪
The Hubble Space Telescope captured this stunning image of Eta Carinae, a massive star system known for its dramatic outbursts. The nebula surrounding the star is a complex tapestry of gas and dust, glowing in shades of blue and red. The bright blue regions indicate hot, ionized gas, while the red areas show cooler gas. The intricate patterns and filaments in the nebula are the result of powerful stellar winds and radiation from Eta Carinae.

Some guy has a long-running Peertube experiment playing a 24x7 live 90's techno/trance channel.

The frontend looks like YT but the backend works like a torrent. I used it for the company meeting preroll, really cool tech, but not much content yet.
