A professional geek. This one time, on Jeopardy, I got to respond correctly with "What is Nine Inch Nails?" and it made my day. This profile consists mainly of three things: #Jeopardy, #FFXIV, #simracing twitch.tv/zer0bandwidth

New reaction cat meme just dropped at local humane society.

A petite grey tabby's face features eyes that are angled in a way that makes her look like she's scowling at the camera.

So, wait, hang on, I'm seeing some stuff — Did crypto finally tank today? Like, as a concept? Did the enormous confidence scam finally fall to pieces, like everyone with half a brain knew it would?

I already did one of these but I thought of a scarier one.

And this is how #folklore starts...

#wolfenoot

#custom #tradition #DogsOfBlueSky

Image of a social media post by Jax Goss which reads: 'My son has invented a holiday called Wolfenoot. It is when the Spirit of the Wolf brings and hides small gifts around the house for everyone. People who have, have had, or are kind to dogs get better gifts than anyone else. You eat roast meat (because wolves eat meat) and cake decorated like a full moon. A holiday to the spirit of wolves that celebrates people who are kind to dogs? I can 100% get behind this. So we will celebrating Wolfenoot. It's on the 23rd November if anyone else is moved to celebrate it (Wink emoji). (If you do, send me pics, so I can show my kid his idea spread. (Heart emoji)). ETA:Woah, this seems to be resonating and taking off. Please use #wolfenoot if you post pics or anything so he can see how it spreads. (Smile emoji) He's already excited that other people want to do it. (Heart emoji)

I *specifically remember* signing off last night with "take care of yourself" 😜

Pasha Paterson @zer0bandwidth.bsky.social · 3d

No, probably just to relieve themselves.

Surprising trivia I learned at a young age, playing in the yard on a fall afternoon: If you hold one of these caterpillars long enough, they can, and absolutely will, pee in your hand.

I want a president who will walk into the Oval Office on day one and tell his aide "...and get all this chintzy fake gold shit off my walls by sundown."

Medical history textbooks in 2125: "Cognitive hyperacuity, formerly referred to as a disorder ('autism'), was the subject of a targeted eugenics attack by The Dumbs in the first quarter of the last century..."

Hey, everyone, big news. Using the latest in L33T H4X0R techniques, I've discovered who's orchestrating that violent insurrection in the US that's all over the news. It seems to be directed largely from some golf course in Florida and an old white building at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in DC.

This morning I turned on my phone only to find that it had changed my user name to Shirley, and when I tried to enter a simple Google query it came out as "Do you like gladiator movies?"

Then I realised it was in Airplane! mode.

At least it's only adagio, and not allegro or presto, to give you the illusion that it's physically feasible.

Pasha Paterson @zer0bandwidth.bsky.social · 7d

Lately, I've been involuntarily thinking a lot about the ending of A Clockwork Orange, where the droogs not only get away with all their violent crimes, but are hired as police officers.

Really, what's next? Stephen Miller modestly proposing that we should start eating immigrants' babies?
