For this #Caturday, our beast has commandeered the foam packing from my 3D printer as a bed.

For this #Caturday, Wayne does his best "dead cat in the driveway" impression.

(very dirty) cat and fern for this #caturday

Yes he is this dirty pretty much all summer. The brush gets a workout.

Condolences.

Mike Karels of Berkeley Unix/BSDi died of a heart attack on his way home from BSDCon.

Karels was responsible for implementing TCP/IP on BSD, which was later ported to Linux. Since you're reading this, you are benefitting directly from his work.

RIP, Mike. We won't forget you.

I hope this message finds you, I hope this message brings you and in the darkness binds you.

I present to you: a case study in bad #graphic #design. One could teach a whole week of design class using this.

A wall sign that's supposed to say "if you work hard, then you play hard" but because of layout reads "If you hard.  Then you hard."  With terrible kerning and spacing.  The typeface choices are awful too.

What's wrong with it? It's clearly states that if you got a boner you got a boner, so what? Nothing to be ashamed of. It's just a stiffy. Any penis haver gets those.
If you hard
Then you hard.

I approve!

For this #Caturday, Wayne wonders when I'm going to make the ice go away.

(it went a way a week later)

For the first time yesterday, I had a Mastodon follower show up at a show and buy something.

I feel like that's some kind of milestone.

One of the major, major benefits of #Mastodon that we don't talk about enough is the ability to choose what you see. I get the people I follow, roughly in the order they posted. Which is what I want and what 99% of social media users want.

Thinking of this because I use #Instagram for my art business (no choice), and Insta's algorithm just glitched *again* and is only showing posts from 2-3 weeks ago. And I have a sale coming up this weekend.

Happy #Caturday! This is our goofball, demonstrating why we bought that vase from a fellow Oregon Pottery Assoc. artist. He loves sleeping on his head!

#CatsOfMastodon

Large black cat, curled into a ball, sleeping on his head in a bright red armchair.  Above him, two arms hold a green pottery vase, carved to look like a cat sleeping on its head.

@crumbcake @xssfox More US Postal Code fallacies:

- Zip codes have had the same geography over time
- Zip code regions are contiguous
- You can reliably determine city from zip code

And the US has this thing: unitedstateszipcodes.org/89049 (that's one zip code, with seven different non-contiguous regions, covering over 10,000 square miles)

Folks are treating the recent tech layoffs as something spontaneous. They were not. Apparently the current layoffs were orchestrated by hedge funds.

This hedge fund demanded that the big tech companies lay people off because they were being paid too much. Let that one sink in: a hedge fund manager saying that you're being paid too much.

Note that TCI is demanding that Google lay off more people.

Letter from TCI Fund Management, from Christopher Hohn to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai.  In the letter, he demands that Alphabet lay off 20% of its staff and cut salaries.

@fuzzychef Ridiculous.... my solution is to raise the taxes on hedge funds to 90% for opening their big mouths

DELETED

@fuzzychef Gets even more insidious when you realize that the reason competition has fallen is _because hedge funds have been writing these letters_.
