  It's fun to mock the orange slime for being unintelligent but I don't think he is at all. He's just smart enough to have done a brilliant job at what I assume the Kremlin hired him to do: weaken the United States. And it must take some bizarre wit to break so many laws without any consequences. I don't know if anyone else could manage this. This isn't praise. He's an evil man who can't die fast enough. But damned effective. #Trump #fascism...

  I have this tin for my lip balm, and refill as needed. My favorite part is when I overfill just enough that it slightly touches the top. Then when I screw on the top, it will slowly swirl the contents into a spiral, all on its own. #justchatting #cool #spiffy #everydaywonders

  For #texturetuesday here are three #knitting motifs that I have loved for decades, and have worked into many projects. I just never get tired of them. These are old shale (aka feather and fan,) the banjo cable, and this variant of a basket weave. Some info on where to find charts for these to follow. 1/3

  My current #wip, a heavy raglan sweater made of my #handspinning, doing the sleeves two at a time. Coming along quite nicely now. After this, it'll be time for the collar and button band. Weirdly, I have no particular need for this garment. I just felt like making it, and I had lots of heavy yarn to use up. Felt cute. Might make teddy bears after this. #knitting #handmade #makers

  This is one of the best Everest climbing books I've ever read, and it should be enjoyable for nearly anyone who is the least bit curious about mountaineering. The author was 61 years old when she headed for Katmandu to begin her climb. Unlike many such books, there is no disaster, just a clear description of her journey from concept to completion, with exactly the right amount of detail. #books #bookstodon #bookreview #mountains #Everest #women https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/df2c...

  The sleep app I've been using for years has enshittified, AI and subscription. I've also been using the Fitbit watch and app, which I was already planning to cancel, and which has now fully merged with a new, more obnoxious AI gibberish thing. So I canceled all and bought a Tribe watch, which does sleep and heart rate, claims encryption and no subscription ever. We'll see. #privacy #enshittification #fedup #apps #alternative

  At the advanced age of 62, I have a zit on my chin. Do you know what I don't have? I don't have my mom, Debbie Harry showing up with gloves and a magnifying glass to soothe me while she takes care of it. Sometimes life just isn't fair. #shitpost #justchatting #beauty #beingsilly #hairspray1988 #hairspray #debbieharry https://youtu.be/SMM8nyPRtl8

  I just came home from a totally chill dental exam where both doctor and x-ray tech wore masks more or less correctly. Which means I was absolutely right to call yesterday and tell them to write anything they wanted about how crazy I am, as long as they made sure to say I damn well want to see a mask on every face that comes near me. #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp #covidcautious #wearyourgoddamnmasks

  Can anyone help me understand why one of these light strips works with Home Assistant right out of the box, and the other one doesn't? And maybe tell me what I can do to get HA to recognize any new light? I'm so frustrated. Sorry for Amazon linx, I'm trying to replace Alexa. #homeassistant #lights #homeautomation HA found this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N1CMGQQ Didn't find this one or any other. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN4G5VD3

  @samantha allistic people utterly fail to understand just how difficult and painful it is to tell these social lies. It seems so wrong to ask the question when you don't want to hear the answer. It's people trying to gain social points for caring without actually caring at all, and neurodivergent peeps are so not here for that.

  Here's a strange thing. I have food in the feeder, and power running to both feeder and livestock unit (blue eires), and there are tons of these cute little weirdos zooming around, eating, and...splashing warm proto-milk everywhere. But none is making it into the unit. I can stand here and milk them, but the machine is doing nothing. Ideas? #NMS #no_mans_sky

  Today I got a gentle reminder that these adorable floof muffins that we love, and get very close to are still animals. They were wild not that long ago. Since their species is both predator and prey, sometimes they can suddenly freak out and fight for their lives with no warning. I'm fine, and so is the fur beast, but neither of us wants to look at the other right now. Yike. #cat #catsofmastodon #teeth #claws #TheHorror #TheCulprit

  @sarahdalgulls At different points in the late '80s, I bought two daily use bags. One was a large, plain canvas zipper purse from Walmart ($10?) , and the other was a lovely purple backpack from North Face or similar (maybe $45?) Both were perfect in every way. I used both of them hard, stuffed 'em full and dragged them across rocks, and never saw any signs of wear. About 10 years ago, I passed them both to new owners, looking almost new, especially the purple pack.

  Other than the intro, etc, I love everything about this, the song, performance, and the reaction. Mr Bojangles is one of those deceptively simple songs that teaches us how to keep our hearts alive through adversity. Mr B suffered with addiction, grief, and jail time. He felt all of it, but he danced for his new cellmate. Still made beauty as best he could, and generations later, a young person can still feel that. #philosophy #courage #beauty #resilience https://youtu.be/FDC1BAi8luY?

  Is it possible to find purple stars if you chose not to reset the system? I know how to get to a different galaxy by teleporting to another player's base from the anomaly, but is there a way to start the necessary quests from there (or from anywhere else?) I tried to get to the galactic core, but after a dozen warps gave up. TIA #nms #nomanssky #nomansskycomunity

  Did you ever try a red walnut? They're so round and cute. The flavor is milder than other walnut varieties I've tasted. It kind of reminds me of a beetle, or a turtle. #justchatting #food #walnuts #nuts #tasty #EveryDayHasSomethingPositive #BrainBleach

  This has to be the best Colbert Questionert ever. And oh, having some big feels to see Pete Townsend so old. He's hilarious, though. Somehow both totally out of left field, and down to earth at the same time. #Colbert #PeteTownsend #classicrock #comedy https://youtu.be/qU07-6AMUpk?si=VpTrECrakr9fg8mz

  Me unboxing a new computer in 2016: oh, this is so exciting! Look how stylish you are, let's see all the new stuff you can do for me. Me unboxing a new computer in 2026: yeah, yeah, big woop. Shut the fuck up! I said shut up! It does ONLY what Mommy wants or it gets the belt. Don't even try to contact Google, you traitorous piece of crap.

  I was sitting here gaming, and gradually realized I was feeling so, so sad. Like up against a wall of sadness. There is a grief in my life I could attach to this feeling, but it doesn't usually smack me like that. And then I remembered the weather. We had a long dry spell, which ended with hours of lovely thunderstorms today. Which has led to a mold spike. Which usually makes me feel sad. And sleepy, with watery sad, sleepy eyes. Like now. Oh. #allergy #weather #mold #emotions #autism

  Here I am with another NMS question. Now that I know how to obtain various eggs, milks 😑, and 🤢 berries from creatures, not to mention waxes and mucus 🤮, can I keep herds? Like, can I become a rancher, and have pens in my base area? And what's the benefit of these foods I can produce from these disgusting raw materials ? Do they give bonuses like in other games? So many questions! #NMS #gross #nomanssky #NoMansSkyCommunity
