Briefly booted into the Windows partition on the media center PC in the living room to check something, hit restart to switch back to Linux without thinking.

This little maneuver's gonna cost us 51 years...

Last glimpse of my current Windows 10 install on my main PC before I install Linux (with a backup Windows partition just in case) and usher in the beginning of the end.

(SATA drives are sitting loose because none of the screws I have fit, fucking fuck)

Post a concert photo

Judas Priest and Sabaton's Invincible Shield Tour, Reno NV, 2024.

I admittedly was there for Sabaton but Judas Priest was great too. Most of my pics and video didn't come out very well, but I got a few good ones, this is one of my favorites. What a show.
Judas Priest performing on a dark indoor stage. Up front is Richie Faulkner on guitar with many reddish stage lights pointed directly down at him as he performs a solo. In the background on the right Scott Travis can also be seen on drums with his arms outstretched. Smoke obscures much of the rest of the stage, illuminated by the red lights above.

Last one started with me sending her this post I stumbled across. I basically found this idea myself after being let down by the religious groups I grew up in that certainly did not embody this idea, or at least I never experienced it. It's been a pillar of my personal belief system ever since.
Screenshot of a Tumblr post by user why-bless-your-heart: What I hate about people reducing Jesus's message to "be kind to each other," besides the obvious, is that it's a serious downgrade from Jesus telling us to love each other *radically.* Your neighbor is the person on the street in front of you. Your brother has to be forgiven more times than you can count. Wash each other's feet, if they steal your coat give them your robes, die for each other. Jesus didn't call us to be 'nice,' because nice just doesn't cut it. He calls us to be lovers, not of some amorphous humanity, but of every single person we encounter.

Me: damn this headache sucks, I wonder what could be causing it

My body, in the voice of Uncle from Red Dead Redemption: YOU DIDNT DRINK ENOUGH WATER, DUMBASS! GO FILL YER CANTEEN AND START DRINKIN' BEFORE YA KEEL OVER! THIS PLACE IS A DESERT FOR PETE'S SAKE!

I say without exaggeration or hyperbole that every single time I go to my local Asian Buffet that my fortune cookies keep getting weirder.

Just saw this while reading The Two Towers. Funny how old slang comes back into fashion decades later, huh?

(For the record this is just a dumb joke, don't get mad at me lol)
A photo of a page of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Two Towers. The words "You're cooked." are circled in red on the image in post (not on the physical page). The full excerpt reads: "Pippin was bruised and torn, his aching head was grated by the filthy jowl and hairy ear of the Orc that held him. Immediately in front were bowed backs, and tough thick legs going up and down, up and down, unresting, as if they were made of wire and horn, bearing out the nightmare seconds of an endless time. In the afternoon Uglúk's troop overtook the Northerners. They were flagging in the rays of the bright sun, winter sun shining in a pale cool sky though it was; their heads were down and their tongues lolling out. 'Maggots! jeered the Isengarders. 'You're cooked. The Whiteskins will catch you and eat you. They're coming!'

The best part about this is how the dollar amount in the headline is cut off on mobile lol
Screenshot of an article from The Register, written by Iain Thomson on Tuesday 29 Oct 2024. The headline reads: Russian court fines Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 [the rest is cut off by the edge of the screen] The subtitle reads: Don't hold your breath Putin The body of the article reads: A Russian court has ruled that Google owes Russian media stations around $20 decillion in fines for blocking their content, and the fines could get bigger. To put that into perspective, the World Bank estimates global GDP as around $100 trillion, which is peanuts compared to the prospective fine. Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow - but on Tuesday fell a little short of that mark when it posted $88 billion quarterly revenue...

Went to a shop and met an axolotl today. :)

And here's my ref also! It's a bit rough but it's what I've been working with at the moment, I should really get around to finishing it. Thanks again for the opportunity, can't wait to see how it turns out!

I don't think I have my ref on my phone at the moment, but first I think I'll get a gift for my good friend sapphirethefox.bsky.social since it's their birthday today!

Thanks so much, can't wait to see how it turns out!

Guess I'll post one of these too. Not quite in the first million, but not far from it either! Honestly really been enjoying my time on this platform, it really does feel more like what social media ought to be as opposed to the hellscape that is everywhere else it seems.

Thanks Bluesky.

I was looking for the post reply in here with the photo of Trump walking alone looking defeated and couldn't find it, but I was gonna reply to that with this and point out that this is the only lion that looks remotely like him.

To the Tesla driver who decided to park 2 inches off my bumper so that I couldn't open my tailgate to put my groceries in my car, if I ever see you charging somewhere I'm gonna unplug your shit now.

Also why does the middle guy look like a younger version the G-man from Half-Life
A photo of a TV showing a Newsmax broadcast, showing three pundits I can't be bothered to learn the names of discussing the Hunter Biden gun trial. The middle one bears a striking resemblance to the G-Man from the Half-Life games.

Good news is their broadcast is falling apart at the seams, they can't even get their graphics to show up right.

Shout-out to @nomadcomplex.com for being uncompromising and in-your-face this Pride season. This is why I love you guys and will continue to buy clothes from you even though I already have more than I know what to do with.

Go support these beautiful fucking animals, so glad to have them back.
A screenshot of the Nomad Complex website, showing their popular Pawlaroid pride t-shirt depicting multicolored animals partying. All over and around the shirt is broken glass, as well as a single red brick. The text below reads: "The first Pride was a riot. Never forget it. We didn't get to this point by politely asking for permission to exist. With hateful rhetoric on the rise, study your queer history, watch out for one another, and never let them beat you down. The world is better for having you in it."

Whoever that one person is, your mother should've swallowed you.

Be safe, be brave, but above all, be YOU and be proud every day of the year! ❣️" The post has 20 heart reacts, 11 Unicorn reacts, and 1 barfing react.
