"What's Toad up to now?" Asked Ratty.
"Motor cars," said Badger. "Again"
"Again?"
"Running people over, mostly."
"Poop poop," said Toad, sinisterly.

Safari is the new Internet Explorer
- it comes with the OS
- you can't uninstall it
- it's a pain to write add ons for it
- too many sites trust it blindly
- weird blue icon

Anyone know how to export a chat form Signal?

I sit down at my desk only to find Excel has acquired a new, uglier icon.

Not major, just another annoyance to add to the pile.

An app just sent me a notification. Sound, banner, everything. To tell me that notifications were turned off and I wouldn't be notified unless I turned them on in settings. Just... why?

I always think the start of Purrple Cat's "Muse" sounds like it belongs in the Amelie soundtrack youtu.be/pzb_iyqcko4

I have weighed in on the McLaren team orders situation:

Think I just lost my last remaining respect for McLaren. Norris would have gone past Piastri anyway but they had to make it look as bad as possible didn't they?

Now I'm having Lola flashbacks. This... this... it'll be OK this time, right? Right?

Every time I hear "Come Back and Shake Me" by Clodagh Rodgers I can't get over the idea that it's written from the point of view an actual doll that's been in the toy box unloved for years begging its owner for a hug and damn it why am I crying again?

If you use the words "code smell" I assume you have the emotional growth level of a five year old.

Just to add to my sense of impending doom today, @purrplecat.bsky.social 's live stream stopped working.

Amazon's recommendation system is broken.
They recommended me a 4 pack of batteries and some weedkiller. Deleted both, refreshed the page. Now they recommend a 6 pack of batteries and a 2 pack of weedkiller.
Yeah... not quite what I had in mind.

I just had an expresso macchiato.

I think we all know who's to blame for that one.

Six House Rs, many from vulnerable districts, sent a letter to ICE explicitly saying deporting non-criminals makes us less safe.

It's a striking document. It undercuts Trump's rationale for mass deportations and reveals deep political vulnerability on the issue. 2/
