@aarondproctor.bsky.social While McGuire is one of my least favorite PL players, that was a gutsy win by Man U today. You guys needed that. Congrats!

Worst coached, worst prepared, worst executing #texaslonghorns offense I've seen in a long, long time. Defense and special teams won that game with no help from Sark or Manning. #collegefootball #longhornfootball #hookem

When upending the toy basket for nefarious purposes becomes just another excellent place to hang out. #cats #catsky #caturday #enzo

The industrial-cat crossover you didn't know you needed. #cats #catsky #front242

Album artwork for "Front 242 - Headhunter" featuring a black background with bold white and red text, accompanied by a vinyl record. Below, a comic strip with four panels depicting a cartoon cat's humorous plan: 1. Case the joint, 2. Consume the target, 3. Destroy the evidence, 4. No remorse, with a cute cat face at the bottom.

"If Morrissey says not to eat meat, then I’m going to eat meat; that’s how much I hate Morrissey." #postpunk #thecure

Cover of a vintage book titled "Too Much Morrissey" by Robert Smith, featuring a distressed young man and a girl with blonde hair, both looking contemplative. The background suggests a moody atmosphere, with bold text and an old-fashioned design typical of mid-20th century novels. The tagline highlights the struggles of teenagers.

#nowreading Alchemised by SenLinYu (@senlinyu.bsky.social) (2025, USA) #fiction #fantasy #darkfantasy #horror #gothic

Alchemised book cover. A dark, atmospheric scene featuring a gothic landscape with towering spires and an ornate, wrought-iron gate. A figure in a red cloak stands in the foreground, facing the gate, surrounded by twisted trees. The title "ALCHEMISED" appears in bold golden letters at the bottom, along with the author's name, "SenLinYu."

I must have first heard this song about 40 years ago and it still gives me the feels every single time I hear it. Genius. \m/

I do like the Pulse version (recorded on the European leg of the Division Bell Tour) quite a lot as both Nick and Richard were there with David.

Obligatory #caturday pic of "handsome boy" Enzo (in shadow). #cats #catsky

My tabby cat Enzo showing his striking green eyes sitting on a tan overstuffed chair in shadow. There is a blue and white woven blanket in the background and various items like a candle and small bottles on a wooden table in the foreground.

Geddy's favorite song to play live. Alex's solo is on Guitar World magazine's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos list. Not bad for a rookie effort, eh?

Heady days! My interest in all things FidoNet faltered when I got a shell account at a local technical college. Looking back I wish it hadn't, but the call of IRC was too strong. I helped run the #newbies channel on Underneath for a long time..

I had a Hayes or maybe it was a Zoom. After I discovered the C64 war boards. I was hooked. Much later, when I started running my own BBS, I switched to USR Couriers because I could get a good deal on them as a sysop plus they were upgradable. Those early days were a lot of fun!

Trade Wars ftw! Land of Devastation and Barren Realms Elite were other favorites.

I ran a 4-line FidoNet BBS in the 90s (on OS/2 Warp no less). Loved it.
