anyways your dildo order has one of the Nine Billion Names of God attached to it somewhere

cannot believe that we taught rocks to whisper Secret Numbers so vast that their names have never before and will never be spoken again in the long span of human time, and we use them to key databases for e-commerce systems

five randomly chosen words from the 10000 shortest words (excluding proper names and adverbs)

perl -e 'print sort { length $a <=> length $b } <>' < /usr/share/dict/words | grep -v '^[A-Z]' | grep -v 'ly$' | head -n 100000 | sort -R | head -n 5

@emilygorcenski maybe they never switched away from the Enigma Machine layout

Trying to decide if I can get a third layer in here somewhere

The Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) is pretty hard to photograph from within the city. This photo I took represents over three hours' exposure time (spread over something like six hours' time total).

thing i learned today: there is a special-purpose constructed language used *solely* in the Channel Tunnel, called PoliceSpeak: https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=AONE&u=googlescholar&id=GALE%7CA18605377&v=2.1&it=r&sid=AONE&asid=d8336f44

@evan where are we on Activity Screams

ME:the seductive lies of the scheming vizier whispering deep inside of your brain
JUNIOR DEV:

JUNIOR DEV:
ME: the trifling squabbles of bureaucratic neurons heard from next door
JUNIOR DEV: i’ll use a regex

JUNIOR DEV: emily, what is a “singleton class”?
ME: well first i encourage you to regard all these structures as illusory, feverish emergent attributes of our primate brains attempting to order the patterns of the machine. now then

I’ve been over here thinking “gosh i just want a social network that involves the least amount of explaining myself” and realizing that’s *every* social network if i just ignore everyone

Found a cool Bluesky bug? feature?

anyways, it's possible for me to associate anyone's identity with any domain I control and then use that domain as their handle.

@thomasfuchs oh! weird

@thomasfuchs i know, i was there!

@thomasfuchs that's what i said!

If you send "Eid Mubarak" to someone on iMessage you get a neat animation :3

TNG "Cause and Effect" hits different if you just leave it on repeat all day

@thomasfuchs gross

is it normal that a Windows computer won't boot up properly unless there's some video output connected?

i have an intel NUC 12 which basically is like "naw" and shuts down in a few minutes if you try to start it up with no HDMI output available.
