Quoth the Raven, "Be careful with that cable, it's carrying 48 volts"

Bladerunner but the replicants are muppets.

me: "I'm prepared to answer your riddles three!"
sphinx: "oh, you knew about the riddles three?"
me: "yes , you're a sphinx, it's a rather well-known thing that I gotta answer three questions"
sphinx: "oh wait did I just waste the first question?"
me: "hmm, that depends on updog"
sphinx: "what's updog?"

If I gambled on both NFTs and the metaverse to the tune of millions and millions of dollars and even renamed my company accordingly I would be so canceled I’d be farming potatoes, but people are still quoting Zuck AI predictions on my daily news feed.

I'm much less upset about the destruction of rare (old, out of print, niche) books by megacorps than I am about the fact that those books can't be digitized by libraries for public access or benefit because the former is legal and the latter is not.

Would You Like Ice With That?

Early October, and we're at Fellsfjara, also known as "Diamond Beach".

Jökulsárlón is full of icebergs today, and the high tide has lifted some from the glacial lagoon and swept them out to sea. The waves have deposited large pieces of the ice on the black sand and the tide is now ebbing.

Some of the beached icebergs are still saturated with water, and are a lovely turquoise colour. A helpful visitor has provided scale.

Once in their lifetime, every trans person who is physically and financially able is expected to make a pilgrimage to IKEA. This is known as the Blå Hajj.

Engaging with Harry Potter books, movies, theme parks, etc and announcing it to social media is a bizarre thing to do in 2026.

We have been screaming from the rooftops for almost a decade about the harm this causes to trans people. You have no excuse.

If I see it, it’s an immediate unfollow.

I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.
