What the hell is this shit? Amazon.com now has streaming ads of people presenting sixltr products based on your purchase history. It's called Amazon Live. They now show a random purchase history based video on the checkout page, after you pass the usual "Are you sure you don't also want some of these?" static items page.

Boo, Google and poor SEO means I can't find the story of how some poor sop got suspended from Twitter for saying "TERF gets the mower" because that's apparently a death threat. Happened early in the Musk takeover.

Fucking Apple. I can't upgrade my iPhone to iOS 26.1, because over 32GB of the 64GB of storage is being eaten up by the OS. Oh, and it now saves cropped screen shots as JPEGs.

Google's AI helpfully gaslights you into thinking that the JPEG ringing artifacts are, in fact, "part of the new visual design."

Pondering that time that I saw bizarre ass game Mohawk & Headphone Jack for the SNES, and someone ripped the soundtrack for SNESMUSIC, but they mistagged it.

The game has two soundtrack "albums" among the set, one of them appears in-game to be spelt "Elepfant Funk", but the ripper spelled it "Elephant Funk".

And don't get me started on the stylistic "Corsehairs" that somehow got tagged "Coysehaiys". #snes #music #soundtrack #ost

Blah blah blah I am so lonely now that I have stopped going to church because they are taking such a LIBERAL approach to loving everyone. Don't they read their own bibles? Jesus did NOT LOVE EVERYONE. Blah blah blah blah they just want to take in as many people as possible to line the pews and rake in more cash for their business.

Subtoot: I will never not read the British spelling "sceptic" and hear it in my head as "septic". How do British people spell "scepter", without the "c"? Or do they pronounce it like it's spelt "skepter"?

Cool. Some #cog user in Poland, using the #play mobile ISP, is directing the DNS record for the Cog Sparkle updates and downloads server at some Caddy instance that's just returning 502 errors whenever it's hit for the update manifest. I don't use Caddy for that server, it's #cloudflare proxy in front of Cloudflare R2, so static object storage with caching.

So, according to Google AI, Trump does not vacate his bowels. That must be why all the shit comes out of his mouth whenever he speaks instead!

God dammit. I wish my brain wouldn't mock people's names when it's convenient.

My dad is getting spammed by all the democratic candidates all over the whole damn country asking for constant donations, because he gave one time to ActBlue.

One of the candidates that's popped up is named Abigail Spanberger.

This unfortunately made me think of how she's spamming him, so I came up with Abigail Spamburger. Sorry, not sorry.

God, Ready Refresh / Primo Brands sucks ass. I now have a permanent Sparkletts 5 gallon water bottle item on my recurring items order, because their shitty recurring items editor doesn't let you remove discontinued items. And the only tech support they have is a voice hotline that you have to wait 30+ minutes before you can talk to a human on. Or you can prompt the chat bot that only responds to fixed phrases like a damn menu system, and it only takes you to existing web page items and can't actually do anything you can't already do with the web interface.
