  1. “Persons will HOB NAILS BOOT! ARE FORBIDDEN IN THIS OFFICE [By Order of Postmaster].”

    delightful effort made here at professional hand lettered sign making, jaunty !, etc, then ruined (or improved further) with an answer to the presumed "says who?” that looks like it was added when the sign was already on the wall by someone with a felt-tipped marker

    that the added text is in parenthesis is specifically great

  2. Looking at linkedin from time to time is like wandering into the wrong church where I don’t know any of the rituals (which for me would be any church, but I do know one set of rituals I don’t practice, at least) and seeing random people I know there, doing some of the moves

    damn you’re here? where is here? oh, they left. huh.

    hey, want to come to dinner? no? this is so weird

  4. 25: “I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom” by Jason Pargin ( https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/starting-to-worry-about-9781250285959/)

    publisher’s hardback illustration for the hardback of “I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom” by Jason Pargin, as I read it. The book is black but the dust jacket is white with black caps sans in three descending rows along an arc ending on DOOM over a bright green splatbelow the title an illustration of the protagonist, a girl in a red hoodie and green sunglasses sits on a black road case labeled A NOVELI'M STARTING TO WORRY ABOUTTHIS BLACK BOX OFD00MJASONPARGINBESTSELLING AUTHOR OFJOHN DIES AT THE ENDA NOVEL

    a few of my favorite very-online writers—but I’m think of Pargin and Jeb Lund (who for all I know don’t know each other at all) specifically here and not like, uh, Lockwood—are pretty good about using their veterans-of-forum-wars (or at least that era of online) past to be pretty strong voices for not being assholes on the internet.

    this is a lot of that

    cw: mens rights nonsense

    my point: so if you feel like you don’t need some old guy rubbing your nose in a “deuteragonist" (I had to look up the word for that) “hey look at this kid who is a twitch streamer who is kinda black pilled, don’t be lame like this”, because you yourself are also over that, maybe skip this one

    Ultimately it’s a fun read and a break from the John and Zoe books and pretty mad at the same stuff a lot of people are on mastodon are mad about re: the other social networks, so, I’m glad I read it.

  5. An elaborate rude metaphor in which every landmark the dashed line loops around on weathered parchment before it eventually reaches the X-marks-the-spot is a pivot in virtualization stacks by the freenas people trying and failing to lose both the the annoying virtualization (jails, docker, kubernetes, etc) janitors inhabiting each landmark and the actual pirates who use their projects to power their NASs 🏴‍☠️

    I was gonna have a visual aid of a real pirate treasure map for this but it seems like real pirates merely wanted real maps, which were hard to come by back then

    makes a lotta sense I guess!

  6. Convincing myself that my bad posts in chat, that even the people who used to reply to, have stopped replying to, to me, are still worth doing, for the lurkers

  7. Pressing the bubble on pop-°-matic® TROUBLE® is now AI.

  8. It would be nice a la “smoking or non?" at restaurants if I could make a reservation for outdoor dining and not arrive to find “outdoor” to be four walls of clear vinyl and propane

  9. Kinda worry that sonos is never going to re-add direct stream urls to their first party apps or even fix the players to load the ones that are already there, and that think the fix is going to be a DIY sonos service app and not entire DIY controllers, which, unfortunately, seems to be the bias

    they are, otherwise, goldilocks pieces of hardware for my specific preferences, so broader alternatives are not interesting

  10. Doodling on maps with satellites

    screenshot crop of a mapped walk in Strava detailing that I walked p much every path in the south-west corner of City College this morning, which means lots of doubling back, looping, taking each meandering path back to the same spot, each set of stairs on all sides of and round buildings, in the fog
