Stumbled on this old phone photo from 2010, showing a "next episode on Castle" promo with a 11PM news bumper over the bottom. I'm sure the families of the actual victims enjoyed the irony. Good job, everybody!

Fuzzy shot of a TV screen from 2010. At the bottom, a blue 11 o'clock news banner for a Portland, Oregon station over a promo for the next episode of the series "Castle." The banner reads, "Double Stabbing in Salem." The episode promo shows two bodies apparently having just tumbled out of a casket. A large, red, spiky bubble reads "2 for 1."

OK, gonna be kind of a dick to an acquantaince/friend(ish) right now... since I last saw him, 10+ years ago, he left our highly conservative religion and has been trying to establish himself as a new-age influencer/shaman/guru/something.

The problem... well, see for yourself. Literally every post from him looks exactly like this.

(Edit: "Our..." religion means the religion he and I used to share; we both left over a decade ago)

A white man in his 40s, who bears an unfortunate resemblance to Charles Manson, appears to glower straight into the camera, with an expression he probably believes is "compassionate sincerity" or something. His slightly unkempt beard and long, greasy (I think wet, actually) dirty blonde hair frame his shell necklace and some kind of medallion on a leather thong. I'm saying he looks fucking creepy.

There is a banner above his head reading "daily gratitude."

An odd thing about #intersectionality is that one person's unique characteristic can fit badly with another person's. I'm saying that people in customer service positions who are incapable of speaking louder than a breathy whisper or low mumble are not #ADA compliant.

I was attacked by three (3) squirrels.

(But at least not as bad as my friend's first time playing Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land. He picked Sorcerer too! And Kobolds summarily curb-stomped his entire party in the first fight, which was auto-triggered as a story thing. Poor Scrungle will live on in our hearts.)

A quotation from Euripides:

«
I ne’er insulted the calamities
Of those who were unfortunate, because
I fear’d that I myself might also suffer.

[μή μοι προτείνων ἐλπίδ᾽ ἐξάγου δάκρυ. γένοιτο τἂν πόλλ’ ὧν δόκησις οὐκ ἔνι.]
»

I'm sure this show is about a user of super powers, but my first thought was of flatulence. Then maybe the jacket he's wearing. #anime #titles #unfortunate #doubleentendre

It is #unfortunate. It would be nice if we had a fourth member to go after #parentheses, #brackets, and #braces.

I tend not to use set literals, preferring `set(sequence)`. Maybe it's because my brain insists they're broken #dicts.

The longer I've been in tech... the more I believe this is true.

@mairin It's #unfortunate, and I hope you do whatever lets you use the #language(s) of your choice freely.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, many #instances have English-only (or other single-language-only) #rules because they fear #legal #liability because of their inability to effectively #moderate or respond to complaints about #content posted in a language they cannot understand.

My conservative christian mother: What are you doing today?

Me: (Thinking that she won't ask about the book because she never does.) I have a book club meeting.

Her: Tell me about it, and what book you are reading.

Me, who is in a "queer people read queer books" club: 🙀 (Frantically tries to redirect, then, when that doesn't work, tries to think of the least offensive--to her--book I'm reading and then lying.)
