I have to go to Costco tomorrow and get the 40lb bags
The camera turns on! So weβre actually okay there. Not sure about impeding into the lens yet. I havenβt had time to go through everything
My poor poor gorgeous studio space ππππππ
Turned the water off right away and the leaking stopped. None of the valves around the house controlled the flow to that pipeβ¦. So weβre just without water for a while
Crap. Some of these had archives I wanted
Things were going so well in my life! 2026 was looking up! π€©
Then I got home today and found a pipe burst in the wall above my studio / office. π«¨π«¨οΏΌ
We ARE coming out with a @thatsabsurdshow.com today! Our gem of a human editor (Kyle) had a pipe burst in his house during this frigid winter storm that hit most of the USA. I had to dig out of 22 inches myself! (56 cm!)
It'll drop a bit later in the day, but it's coming !
This is a big #storm! Itβs really coming down. #snow #ice #snowstorm #π§
If thatβs what you expect, then the world will meet your expectations
The trials after this abomination of a presidency are going to have a name.
We will learn about them in the history books.
BRB going back in time to tell my teenage self that one day she and Paris Hilton will be speaking out against the same problem
a spreadsheet that Gemini turned into a big mess
Bros: AI is the future!
The AI when asked to read some text data:
Have a Ring camera?? Youβre basically an #ICE agent now. Theyβre tapping your camera for their fascist bs.
I was already wary, and now i know they're just bad. Thankfully i no longer have any of their cams to rip out and recycle
Thanks @404media.co for covering this.

Yeah, unless you dropped the sign outside on the night of the new moon and live somewhere really low on the Bortle scale and donβt have a flashlight. Then itβs like, 12 hours of βoh no I donβt have my signβ and you can grab it when the sun comes up
IMAGINE THE SOUND TRACK
Last minute going to see @birbigs.bsky.social tonight at #AllOut ! Iβm soooooo pumped
So much is accurate about #ThePitt and then the nurse from the Soo doesnβt have a #Yooper accent?? WHAT
Oooh good one. Honestly, I think itβs worse like you have to bring back abandoned carts for one hour or something.
There should be a special little punishment for people who use the βin-car pick upβ spots at stores when they fully intend to just go in and shop.
I was picking up a gift for a kidβs birthday and parked in the in-car pickup spot. While I waited the person from the car in the next spot over came out with a large shopping cart full of stuff theyβd bought.
Yeah Iβm optimistic! But very skeptical bc of the last of real world information
By βthis is a common thingβ I mean companies / chief scientists typically publish research h running up to their breakthrough. All that research is often grant funded or done in partnership with institutions so itβs publicly available
- have published no research studies on how it works that Iβve yet seen (this is a common thing btw)
- have no public info about anode, cathode, or electrolyte (motortrend guesses polymer)
- have no 3rd party verification of claims
And thenβ¦ they havenβt yet responded to my emails to clarify
Iβm looking into the Donut Labs solid state battery that everyone keeps sending me. I would love to talk about it on my channel, but I canβt verify ANYTHING. Itβs splashy, but SO SKETCHY.
Lemme explain β¦
"YouGov has ICE at 39% favorable, 52% unfavorable...But this top line really understates the intensity of public backlash to ICE and its tactics. In February 2025, just 19% of Americans held a strongly unfavorable view of ICE. Today, 40% do."
