@ScottSoCal "Worf, in pink" is really understating that outfit

those shoulders! that collar! the giant gold chain! the black leather undershirt! the swept-back blonde hair!

@ScottSoCal Worf did always have exceptional hair.

One of the saddest parts of binge watching the Big Bang Theory is realizing what a nerd I am.

I get all their references. All of them.

For example: Sheldon was wearing a t-shirt that had the silouettes of a lot of sci-fi robots. I knew them all. All of them. Without fail.

Even the science stuff. I may not be able to follow it, but I understand where they’re coming from.

I’ve found myself laughing at some obscure thing, and my dude looks at me and goes, “I don’t get it.”

I do. Always.

Arkansas banned paying for AP African history tests—but pays for AP European history

TX banned abortion b/c a fetus has rights—but reject liability for a stillbirth b/c a fetus has no rights

N Dakota GOP banned free school lunches—but gave themselves free lunches

For the GOP, hypocrisy isn’t a bug—it’s the feature. Vote them out.

Could anyone give me a boost to find other trans people & indie game fans? 🥺

@ScottSoCal @book OH my goodness, I can so relate to that 🤣

My dog rings a bell to get me up. Now who's Pavlov? Nicely played, Bax.

Two of my interests combined in one nerd joke. 👍

Picked up new specs. Boring, dull, perfectly fitted yet unfitting.

I demand fabulosity!

Another "Miserable Monday." Another "Excessive Heat Warning" is affect for #today. Another humid n sticky night under the fan in order to sleep. 😕

I have tended to think this may be the "new normal" now. But I know that isn't true. This is just the beginning, and in a way, I'm glad I'm a retired old man with a bad heart n little time left to suffer through this.

So I go about #myday. Doin' the little bit I can do and hum along to my 'theme song' for a little comfort. :

"All of the hard days are gone.
It's all beer n Whisky and songs from now on.
Laugh at the darkness and dance until dawn.
All of the hard days are gone."

Sorry for the ugly mood #today. Y'all just enjoy what ya got while ya got it. 👍 And of course, feel free to #joinin n sing along. 😏🖖

Hey #filmphotgraphy folk: I'm struggling to effectively process and invert my negatives. I do not have Adobe and I don't really want to get sucked into their model for my hobby. What do you recommend? Darktable is powerful but imposing, I can't really wrap my head around its UI

Hey, whatcha doing in September? Because I'm going on a book tour then, and if I'm coming to your town, you should totally come see me, and maybe get a book signed and stuff. The link below has places, dates, times and links to ticketing, plus all the other information you need to know. See you there!

Overheard 2 businessmen discussing corporate office changes so that employees "won't feel like just a cog in a machine."

They came up with these 'great' strategies:

- Rearrange the cubicles
- Art on the walls
- Seat managers closer to employees
- More team fun events

Notably not discussed:

- More pay
- Profit sharing
- More ownership of decisions & input
- Recognition of employee successes
- More PTO and/or work-life flexibility
- WFH options

Good luck guys! 😆

@ScottSoCal Same. However I get only the odd funny look. Maybe it’s my resting bitch-face and the fact thatI’m 6’1”.

Julie is telling it like it is.

[Let’s see how. This goes down on here - as when I last put it on Twitter I was dogpiled:]

Wear a mask. Covid is not over yet and never will be until *we* do something about it.

But wait! There’s more…
