I also have a version of that meme that says "Christmas music in July".

Water. Sometimes just drinking lots of water fixes my headaches.

Not always, it's not a cure-all, but it's probably good for you anyway. 😀

Four diagrams of a human head showing areas in red where different kinds of headaches are centered.
Migraine: Area just behind the eye spreading to the temple
Hypertension: Back of the head
Stress: Back of the head, and a band all the way around from the forehead to the back
A Chatty Extrovert: The entire head is red

9 seasons of RWBY are available on Hulu, if you're interested.

I'm glad to see Neapolitan getting a chance at redemption. I always felt there was more depth to her than just a cardboard villain.

Farewell, Neo.

I've been shipping Yang and Blake for a while and I'm so happy to see I was right.

I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING

Yes, yes, I know, I'm just catching up. Finished the series this morning.

YouTube video title: Are expensive pads really better?
Me: ... Wait, is somebody testing feminine hygiene products on YT?

I mean, that's not a BAD thing, it just seems a bit weird.

Turns out it's about car brake pads.

*whew* Now I can go back to being squeamish about female bodily functions!

Actually it was more that he was over-explaining and phrased it badly but the question still stands...

Me: Did Mike tell you his life story while you were checking him in?
Jim: Hah hah! Not quite.

Me: I put a placeholder on the UI for you to add this indicator.
Mike: I had to add code and a proper reference, you can't make it work just by putting in static text.
Me: ...

Is murder legal yet? Asking for a friend.

Jeffrey Nonken @jnork.bsky.social · 3d

Yes, that was a long, long, long, long...

*inhales deeply*

...long, long time ago.

Not quite to your point, but my favorite vanity plate was on a VW Rabbit and said "MYN HARE".

I'm just using your post as an excuse to mention it.

I thought of something clever and poignant to say about centrists and right-wingers earlier, and now I've forgotten what it was, but I still want to express it.

Pretend I said something witty.

In case it's unclear, I'm talking about Republican politicians here, and some Democrats too.

Hanlon's Razor actually says "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" so I may be bending the intent a bit.

Or maybe not.

Jeffrey Nonken @jnork.bsky.social · 3d

Hanlon's Razor says we should assume they're a bunch of incompetents.

Occam's Razor says they're a pack of greedy selfish lying assholes.

I'm going with Occam here.

-1,000,000/10 for leaning hard into every other autistic stereotype and exaggerating them to the point of destruction of the space/time continuum.

Photo of a cat lying on the roof of a carport. The support for the roof has been mangled and, as a result, the roof has sunk over that area and the front edge is creased. The cat is positioned exactly on the crease, giving the appearance that the cat's presence has caused the damage. Caption:

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.
