I recently learned that the lyrics are actually "kiss from a rose on the grey" and not "grave" like I've thought all these years.
I'm not sure if that makes any more sense.

Whenever I'm doing a Giphy search for a relevant image, I'm always struck by just how many of these gifs seem so utterly worthless and how far these suggestions are from the particular gif that I know must exist.

It seems very odd to me that someone would name their son after their father / brother with their own name as the baby's second/middle name. It just doesn't seem like Michael to name his kid George Michael.

Have you ever wondered if you were secretly Batman put into some sort of dream state by the mad hatter or the scarecrow or Hugo Strange or whatever where you are imagining yourself as just some ordinary guy stick in a menial existence when in reality you and all of Gotham City are in mortal peril unless you find a way to escape, but your subconscious is fighting back by reminding you of who you really are in the form of way too many movies. Just me?

Much like how in The Good Place, once they learned the nature of their existence, they were unable to earn any more points, I feel like the same must apply to how people's actions once that 4chan post about returning shopping carts went viral, it is no longer a valid indicator of how well we, as a society, are able to self-govern ourselves.

When I set up my monitors in the new desk I got them swapped from how I had them before and I figured that swapping the order in `wayland.windowManager.hyprland.monitor` should have taken care of it nicely but it wasn't working so I've been dealing with control pac-maning from one side of the screen to the other for the past few days.
I could figure out what is wrong with my config... or I could just swap the monitors back around. Solved.

Going from a nice dual-monitor setup down to a minimalistic single monitor is painful when using a tiling window manager. I can't wait till I can get everything properly set up again.

2025-03-19 12:36:34

My tire was looking a little low so I stopped to put air in it. I was partway through filling it up (far from overfilled) when it straight-up popped on me.

Order 66, also known as Clone Protocol 66, Protocol 66, or simply "the Order," was one of top-secret contingency orders that identified all Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic and, therefore, subject to summary execution by the Grand Army of the Republic.
