[luckily none of my relatives are on b'sky]

I was musing with my favored chatbot (microsoft) that I would like to have a lil treadmill to worry my legs while I watch tv shows. And it said no, it'll be a thousand dollars.

Now who's gonna fall and break his arm for walmart blackfriday $80!

Unlikely Animal Friends Two — Electric Boogaloo? 🐰🐸

Not every thing to appease a mad king is inherently bad. And I'm sure it makes plenty more people than me nervous to have literally all of Apple's CPU manufacturing on one "disputed" island some people worry could be a war zone.

I assumed I could find a $50 hamster wheel for a human for when I drink gin and watch Colbert. My trusted AI bot told me that is unsafe and implausible.

Guess what Walmart Black Friday Sez!

Alright, the year off the label is maybe why I got it on the clearance rack at Food Lion, but I might try this stuff out. I hate maple syrup and also pancakes, but I asked an AI bot for an alternative, and maybe agave syrup might be nice. I did get summa that (advice?)… 🌵

Now that every website has a "beta” AI search, are we sure it's not some poor sucker in the back room just ⌘-F on a wikipedia search little quicker?

This funny and also grim satire is about as good a discussion of presidential pederasty as you're likely to find

I wish this Donald Trump Pederast fiasco would be done because it is difficult to make jokes about it.

Just watched the movie "one thing after another”. It is pretty good. I will never re-watch it. Maga folks will be upset about it.

It does prove that wow, Leo Dicaprio is dynamite! 😍

i am enthralled watching this movie about bad policemen.

(“One Battle After Another”)

Remember that on a modern iPhone you press and hold the side button and either volume button to hard lock it.

Upon waking, I yell to my nearest robot, Alexa attend to me.

I want it to tell this fancy man of Cornwood what is the temperature and the manner of the day. 👔

It says "I'm not sure what you mean, you may address me as Alexa”. But one of these days I'll get a HomePod version 3 …

It is gross to keep talking about old men abusing young girls, like the President does.

Let's remember there is a variety of subreddits of hot older ladies and, shall we say, ehh, pretty, pretty, pretty good …

HomePod Mini № 2 should be sold only in 🟫🟨 , 🟪🟧 in honor of the ~ fifty MD-11's that will never have the opportunity to fly thousands of those tiny boxes.

People give Apple Arcade grief; 🕹️ it's true it’s never lived up to any kind of hype. But it's nice to be able to play casual games without being bothered by upsells or ads. And a lot of them are turn-based so they keep half my mind occupied while the other half watches mah programs. 👴🦼

Wow I've heard people say they don't care either way. I disagree. Having a setting to partially defeat Liquid Glass is a big improvement! #MacOS26

Well, shit. But I guess the Canada Baseball Team would have an easier time refusing to visit a fascist USA president in his ballroom dugout. It will be interesting for Los Angeles.

As I use it more on a large monitor, is “Liquid Glass” from MacOS 26 Throwinghands just more translucency for its own sake? Yes, clearly. But Mac OS X has always been about that. Quartz Extreme arrived 23 years ago my guys! The theme has always been to run the GPU ragged even in your file manager!

I don't know/care anything about baseball, other than hoping Donald is annoyed that 51st state wins.

I expect asking an AI bot to summarize it so far may be amusing.
October 29, 2025 at 3:02 AM
Well, shit that will do it

It is weird how everyone takes marching orders from the RETARD in chief (I think we're allowed to use slurs in USA now).

I never use tylenol only because my liver is fully busy with liquor. I don't think there's another reason.

Look for MAGA dummies selling imported paracetamol.

I asked siri about the baseball game (which I normally care nothing for). I misheard it that it concluded after 8 innings. I thought oh, that went quicker than normal! Too bad I didn't watch it.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh wait …
