My dog is infinitely optimistic that TODAY will be the day that I just inexplicably hand over my entire hamburger.

Just barely got them all in the frame

just thinking of the tech etymology "thing that we do" plus the following rules depending when it was launched:

early 00s: prefix i- or e- (ebay, iphone)
late 00s: suffix -r (flickr, warblr)
10s: suffix -ly or -ify (bit.ly spotify)
20s web games: suffix -le (wordle, countle)

this gets fun, because you can take an existing tech product and move it to a different era by changing its name construction

Imagine there’s a button that when pressed would immediately change your body from what you have now, to that of a goose. You can only press the button once. When pressed everyone will have known you in this new form the whole time, so there’s no social impact at all.

Would you press that button?

If so you may be transgander 🪿

Set off on a "Spirit of Shackleton" cruise 11/11/2007. Re-enacted the spirit of Shackleton in a manner not advertised in the brochure when crew and passengers were forced into small boats whilst their ship succumbed to the ice.

It's mourning in America.

RIP Janey Godley, who died last week.

Thank you Mastodon and the Fediverse for being an example of communicating without billionaires and US venture capitalists calling the shots. We're going to need more of this.

The main subject of this photo was meant to be far beyond this group of trees, but I messed up the focus and when I looked at it on the computer the only clear bit was this cheeky soul in the corner. Nice tree though. Quite the cutie-pie.

I've taken to answering the phone "Potato" instead of "Hello", because a human will go "what?" and a robocall will fail to determine what language it should start its script in.

Not a good day. Janey Godley RIP, and the conservatives pick the appalling terf Badenoch as leader.

After my last post, it was pretty clear what everyone wanted to see on the Alarmo. So, here it is - Doom running on the Nintendo Alarmo!
