Eric Meyer

I told ye all,
When we first put this dangerous stone a-rolling,
’Twould fall upon ourselves.

I just read the new SPINAL TAP book and there’s a moment where Rob Reiner and the rest of the cast ask each other which projects will lead their obituary. Rob was sure “Meathead” was going to be the first line of his.

Different pictures of Van Dyke throughout the years

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

Huge Servo milestone: thanks to a swift response to a bug I reported, the Servo browser (https://servo.org) can now play Deltarune Dot Com's 404 page correctly.

Can anyone point me towards resources/people in the Twin Cities who could help someone rid their PC, Android device, etc of surveillance software installed by an abusive partner? She's getting a burner phone tomorrow but her whole digital life and business has been corrupted.

If he’s in the mood to argue with all the people who Clearly Are Not Smart Enough to Be Rich, yeah. But probably not.

Today I learned that rich people have no idea how US health insurance and laws like EMTALA actually work.

Okay, I didn’t learn that, I already knew. It’s just funny to me that he came right out and said so and doesn’t have the self-respect to delete it.

Duck à l’orange, if you will.

Far too many men will be unable to figure this logo out.

I remember doing the deal for Epic Mickey, and Bob Iger shooting laser beams out his eyes at me in the Disney dining room. “Don’t let this video game fuck up Mickey.”

Oh well. That’s over.

ROU Irrational Exuberance

Whoops! You are entirely correct, and I wish now I could edit my post like on Mastodon to make note of that fact.

I’m going to be that other guy. £15 in 1843 is equivalent to around £1,660 today (per www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-pol...). That’s $2,222, or $55.55 an hour assuming 40 hours. At 60 hours a week and no vacation time, it’s still $37/hour, and $155,400/year.

Given the extent to which these jabronis and their cultists fetishize Imperial Rome, I’m surprised he didn’t order a switch to Trajan.

Meh.

This is the first I’ve heard that I have one! Still not judging you, though, so you can stop looking at me like that.

Gotta admit "the font is DEI" is a stage of absurdity I could not have predicted

An age assurance dialog that requires “an accurate date of birth to use Bluesky”. The only other option is to log out.

This is what I’m getting when trying to use Bluesky on desktop, so on the assumption that this will spread to the mobile client, it looks as if my time here will be coming to a close. Ah well. As Kermit the Frog once said, “Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it.”

For *vastly* different reasons, “The Piano” (the soundtrack to which I nevertheless adore) and “Beasts of the Southern Wild”.

When I am finally victorious and my ideological enemies thwarted, all who opposed me shall be lined up and dutifully distributed their equitable share of the rights I fought for and they so vigorously opposed, because That Was The Fucking Point

On your diaphragm, most likely. Expansion of the uterus can interfere with it, making it difficult to draw deep or full breaths. Hang in there!
