My project car is a big old V8 from the U S of A, and because of this I subscribe to quite a few Youtube channels featuring good old American midwest boys working on their big old V8 projects. 1/3

I should have been at the wedding of a couple of friends today, but because of my failing body and brain, I am not. Kinda rough. Hard to stay positive right now, ngl.

My close-up vision is pretty dire, these days. I think I'm going to have to keep a pair of reading glasses on me. At least I will always have them to hand when I need to dramatically take them off to emphasise a point. (The Full Giles)

This morning I said to my kid "So, you probably saw on the socials that the US has invaded a country and deposed its leadership in order to get at its oil reserves. You're young, so I realise this is your first time."

I couldn't be bothered making a béchamel for a proper Croque Monsieur for lunch today, so I just swapped in a quantity of mayonnaise (because ham, cheese ... mayo... that's fine) and made a kind of Crack Monsieur and damn, it was amazing.

I don’t know, invading another country and blowing shit up with missiles and kidnapping its president doesn’t really seem very Peace Prize From Soccer.

*Back in my day* we required a proper government false flag event, with an elaborately rendered official story slapped over it, in order for us to get panic-herded into an illegal police state escalation. Nowadays they just declare it’s time for fascism without even bothering to do the inside job.

Today, I was reminded of the time back in the mid 90s, when me and @theprideofdarkhan.bsky.social went to a shop at like, 3.00am, to buy energy drinks and the girl behind the counter asked if we were in a band, and we had to say that no, we just dressed like this.

I keep getting ads for Pink Floyd albums on one of the shitty billionaire controlled social media platforms[1], and it’s not advertising money well spent.
As is the case with many people around my age, I am already quite familiar with Wish You Were Here.

I could just get an ex-corpo ex-lease Thinkpad, and run Linux on it.
It wouldn't be as fast as an M-series MacBook, but it would definitely be cheaper, and I bet I could expand the ram and disk easily.
And, most importantly, I wouldn't have to experience the current macOS liquid glass UI.

If the current NZ government does copy the Australian goverment and legislate a ban on social media access for under 16 year olds, then I will take great personal delight in assisting my under-16yo child in defeating that ban. Dumb laws are dumb.

Okay. Let's give macOS Tahoe another go on my non main mac. Last time I did this I hated the 26.0 UI visuals so much that I rolled it back to Sequoia.
I am told that the new one has affordances to tone liquid glass down, which goddamn hell ass cripes did it need, so let's see what 26.2 is like.

Is that Lobo in the Supergirl trailer? Huh. I think it is.
Man, while the future mostly sucks, the comic book fan version of me from the late 20th century is eatin’ GOOD here in the world of tomorrow.

I gave away my Quest headset when I deleted my Facebook account (because Nazis) but I miss VR stuff, so I am quite pleased by the prospect of the recently announced cheap Valve headset. I hope it's reasonably priced.
