The laser in my #PS2 is starting to give out, but I think it has just enough juice left in it to copy my games to the hard drive I put in.

@NotYourSysadmin It's a double-edged sword, to be sure.

One of the rare delights of ADHD is going through the entire process of making a french press of coffee, forgetting about it, and then walking into the kitchen and rediscovering it.

Free coffee!

The only #monarch I support. On our milkweed!

@SleepyCatten I mean, kinda...

@RickiTarr reminds me of Srdja Popovic's book "Blueprint for a Revolution". He talks about how Serbian activists released accessorized turkeys into the square and the authoritarian state's goons would look ridiculous chasing after them.

I broke a website today! But I also knew that I *might* break a website today, and made a backup, and successfully reverted to a back up.

So at this point, the status quo feels like a win.

@markwyner my wife wore a "protect trans kids" fanny pack to a protest and a trans protestor stopped by and chatted with us. She got asked for help at work because she sported a little rainbow flag in our car. It's in-group signalling: "hey, we're on your side."

#Splendor is a *fantastic* game.

@davidgerard "protagonism" - I love it.

@sutter Nothing says "business casual" like the demonstration of opposable thumbs!

@ambiguous_yelp I'd like to play this game...

Slide from this month's sprint plan.

"You know what? I'm getting ANOTHER cup of coffee, and there's nothing you can do to stop me," I proclaimed, defiantly.

I work from home, alone.

#TreasurePlanet is a good movie.

Birds!

As a #Connecticut resident, I'm deeply frustrated with #Lamont right now. Veto of #HB5002 and #SB8, endorsement of #Cuomo.

I'm no fan of the Iranian regime, and I don't claim to have any intelligence on Iran's nuclear ambitions. But Tulsi Gabbard said their nuclear weapons program likely ended in 2003, so...

Seems like "preventative war" all over again, doesn't it?
