The kiddo (nearly four) was asking about Darth Vader on a box of wheat thins, so I gave him an extremely brief rundown. Now he says "I like Dark Vader! Let's watch Dark Vader!" So we're watching Star Wars, of course, until he loses interest.

ditching adobe is really hard when every alternative is either Flunkly™️ which is *almost* feature complete except for that one thing you do in Photoshop every single day or G.R.O.N.K., a FOSS app with the worst fucking UX you have ever seen in your life and no support for JPEGs for ethical reasons

If you'll excuse me, I'm feeling very manly right now (I made my three year old a paper airplane that flies really well, and when I throw it he says "Nice throw, Daddy!!!")

I don't particularly like pokemon or understand how pokemon showdown works, but my guilty pleasure is watching YouTube videos of people absolutely destroying rude and loudmouthed players on pokemon showdown

I'm going to guess the pickup truck after the Calvin pissing on "My Ex" sticker is not driven by the world's most well adjusted person.
Alternatively, the driver is commemorating their Ex's passion for watersports?

Wesley Snipes is the Salieri of saying “motherfucker.” if his career had not overlapped Sam Jackson’s so much, he’d be a lot better known and appreciated for it.

Rewatched the original Star Wars (A New Hope) today.
Obviously 'I love Star Wars' is baked in, but if you've not watched it in a while you can easily forget that the back half of that movie is some of the most genuinely thrilling stuff on film, back to back.
1977 must not have known what hit it.

I had a good QSO with KK70VF, between Seattle and Portland, using the repeater on the ISS this evening. My son (3) was in the car and we got to talk all about satellites and space stations (sometimes space castles, per him) and how I talked with an astronaut* all about letters and numbers.

But I told chatGPT to stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God's creation and it said "OK" and then I was like "no, for real" and it was like "I'm standing in wonder, I really am!"

Sometimes you do find historically accurate info about Japan online. This ancient art of Dutch-catching is called dejima-jutsu and it has applications in business, health, personal relationships, and politics.
![Painting of the artificial island of Dejima off Nagasaki, the only official port where foreigners, but only the Dutch, could trade with Japan during the country's isolationist period known as Sakoku that lasted from the early 17th century to the mid 19th century.
The joke caption above says: "The japanese [sic] built an artificial island, knowing these are the natural habitat of the dutch [sic]. Soon afterwards, a flock of dutch [sic] merchants settled there, allowing the japanese [sic] to easily harvest western goods."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3a2vqx5jnnywl7jeap5d6xab/bafkreiansivpallmscizksaxalcivlmuarwgvp4ia7aftdwdiqflven7du@jpeg)
