If you would like to protest Trump's unconstitutional seizure of power, consider finding a No King's protest near you this Saturday. Instead of the news focusing on his military parade on his birthday, nationwide protests will help steal his thunder and hopefully bring the focus back to the people, instead of this would-be monarch.

Jesus Christ, preaching during the Sermon on the Mount, says, "Love everyone. No matter what." A follower asks, "What if they are gay?" Christ responds, "Yes, even if they ask stupid questions."

The Klingon, Korax, from Star Trek: The Original Series, is in a bar. The barkeep is out of focus in the background behind him. Korax faces the viewer and says, "I didn't mean to say that the Cybertruck should be hauling garbage. I meant to say that it should be hauled away *as* garbage!"

🚨 THREAD: What just happened in Los Angeles is not normal, and it differs from past deployments of the National Guard in key ways that you need to understand. This is a breakdown of the history, the playbook, and why this move reeks of bad faith.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and the White House confirm that the federal government is preparing to federalize the National Guard and deploy up to 2,000 military troops in Los Angeles.

At the end of every week, I get a text from a young woman about how her week was. She signs them "Love & miss you dad". I figure I received her deceased father's recycled phone number. I've never replied or asked her to stop. I don't want to take away her coping & healing method.

I have not confronted her, but make it awkward when she says she is going to the gym or her mothers by saying "lovely, I will come with you, not seen your mum in a while" or "let's go to the gym together". Spanner in her ideas.
I recently got a smart watch (at the recommendation of my cardiologist). The default watch face was awful, so the first thing I did was change it.
The Play Store had a Pride category up front, and the very first watch face I saw was perfect.

Screenshot of watch face. Along the top it reads "Star Trek". Along the bottom, "Steps: 656". The time is 12:00, in a slanted block font. Taking up most of the right side is the Star Trek logo (the Starfleet badge) in rainbow colors. Around the outside is a rainbow circle.
I wish I could afford a mid-life crisis. I'm definitely due for one.
My five-year-old daughter: "If they don't have a beard, they're not a real dad."
But, by dad, she meant man. She refers to all adult men as dads, and all adult women as moms.
So, my five-year-old, through no instruction on our part, has concluded that without facial hair, you can't be a real man.
By the way, we did, of course, correct her misunderstanding.
Summer time means that I have to kick my kids off Netflix from time to time because we only have a two-screen maximum account, and I want to use it.

My need for a new job has gone from “I'm unhappy and need a change" to “I don't hardly have any savings and if I don't get a new job ASAP I will be bankrupt in a month or so”, because I was laid off today.
So:
Hi! I'm Jamie. I write code in Swift, with the exact target/platform not mattering to me so much. I own a powerful Mac so I can contribute to indie/smaller projects without any particular investment. I also have experience managing teams, and I can quickly pick up new skills.
The role would have to be remote or located in the Baltimore, MD area as I have a mortgage that I can't just get out of.
Oh, man. I got Intro Skip set up on my Jellyfin this weekend. I've been slowly migrating away from Plex. On Plex, intro skip is a Premium feature, but on Jellyfin, it's just a plugin.
Anyway, I just finally tried it out, and it works fantastically. Just like a regular streaming service. Sure, it took a few hours to build an index for all my library after I installed the plugin, but honestly, that wasn't that long.
I should've fully switched to Jellyfin ages ago. As long as my wife is cool with the Jellyfin interface (at least, in the Roku client), I can fully delete Plex Media Server and forget about it.
The only feature that Plex has that I don't see any way to make work easily with Jellyfin is sharing my library (or shows from my library) with people outside my household. I never actually used that feature on Plex, since it also requires a Premium subscription, but it would be cool if Jellyfin could figure something out like that.

From his lighthouse evermore,
But to us he gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore.

Illustration of a lighthouse. The lighthouse is the only structure on a lonely rock jutting out into the sea. In addition to the light coming from the lantern, the whole building seems to be emanating light. This storm clouds cover the sky above and a lone seagull flies past. Waves are crashing upon the rocks below. Even the waves are illuminated by the light from the lighthouse.
Any time I want it to rain, all I have to do is water my lawn, and within the next day or two, it will rain.
In the word "queue", only the first letter is pronounced. The other four are silent (quietly waiting their turn).

I like to put TV on in the background while I'm working. One of those work from home benefits. On an average day of 8 hours of work, after taking out time for meetings, I can usually watch anywhere from 8 to 12 episodes of TV (depending on the length of the episodes, of course).
But today, I spent most of the morning, and some of the afternoon pairing with a new developer on the team, so I couldn't have my TV on in the background while we worked through his stuff together. So now, I'm almost 6 hours into my 8 hour day, and I'm just now finishing my second episode.
And even though it makes absolutely no sense at all, my brain has somehow come to associate the amount of TV I've watched while working with my productivity. And so, somehow, I feel like I've had a less productive day because I've watched less TV, even though that obviously makes no sense at all.
