It is a truth universally acknowledged that an empty box must be in want of a cat. #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy #JustRipley

Microsoft redefining Windows system crashes as “unexpected restart experiences” has big Severance vibes.

@WarnerCrocker @drdrang I tend to install mid-beta software on a device that doesn’t matter — like my 2018 iPad Pro. 🤷♂️

@feld @Lizette603_23 That’s very true. Unfortunately, as I’m not 4 years old, I have little expectation of living long enough to use up *1 Costco Unit* and have insufficient space to store it. 🤪 #TheCostcoDilemma

You all know how much I like my morning croissants. I’ve been baking them (from frozen, basically — lightly thawed at room temperature first), but recently my usual Pyrex pans were already in use so I decided to try an aluminum pan (Costco lasagna/shepherd’s pie tray). OMG they come out so much better than in oven-safe glassware!

As you were. 🤣

@Lizette603_23 I may even have some parchment paper on-hand. I forget, now, why I have it, but there was something I used to make semi-regularly (maybe a decade ago) that meant I ran out of it every couple of years.

Was about to correct a minor technical detail in an online article about STAR WARS: ANDOR, season 2, but thought better of it.

I mean, really, who could be expected to know (or care) about the difference between a TIE Interceptor and a TIE Avenger? They *are* pretty similar at a glance. 🤦♂️🤓 #STARWARS #ANDOR

Dear CTV News: the correct response to a party being upset about fact-checking is to stop covering the party — not to stop fact checking their bullshit.

Where’s the pushback from their journalists? Where are the resignations?

Always fascinating to see people reveal that the one, unforgivable thing that ever happened to them — that they cling to almost as a shibboleth — was a free U2 album.

Mid-afternoon egg carton snooze session. #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy

Watching ALIEN (1979, 2003 director’s cut with cast & crew commentary) with the kittens. Yes, we actually were. They thought Jonesy deserved more close-ups. #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy #ALIEN

@aral Wait — this isn’t Photoshopped? This can’t be real!?!

@WarnerCrocker What’s it called once it spills over into neighbouring countries? 🧐

@RickiTarr No way could I work for a company that spells 1Password as “OnePassWord”. Jesus. Signed: a small business owner.

@WarnerCrocker I’ve seen it here, too. iOS 18.3.1. 🤷♂️

Ripley the intern continues to be starving and my reading glasses are the tastiest thing on earth. #RipleyAndJonesy #JustRipley #CatsOfMastodon

Under her watchful eyes. #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy #JustRipley

Leisurely #caturday afternoon for #RipleyAndJonesy (on their favourite egg carton). #catsOfMastodon
