And since an OG copy of Vitalogy wasn’t enough, here’s an OG pressing of Ten from 1994. #vinyl https://mastodon.social/@mikerastiello/114525691703114916

I’m at Black Panther in my #MCU rewatch and still seven years after its release one thing still bugs me. There was no reason for T’Challa to accept Killmonger’s challenge to the throne via the ritual. Challenge Day came and Killmonger missed his shot.
I know there are bigger inconsistencies in the MCU but this is one of the ones that bugs me the most.

I would love to watch a Behind The Music on how Devo, the weirdest band in the history of music (supportive), broke through and had the success that they did.

@nprofile…z7vu thanks for mentioning the Lutron dimmer switch thing on Clockwise. I bought one to see if it solves a big pain point in my house and then deploy them out wider.
For your backyard flood light, do you have a smart lock at the back door? I have an automation that if the back door is unlocked during a given time window a scene is triggered that cranks up all the back yard lights to 100% for my dog to see so she can do her business. Once locked it goes back to the dim state.

I love that after almost four years Poppy still runs over to me to thank her for feeding her when she’s done eating.
Even though she has stinky kisses.

This is 100% how I feel. September 11th has been co-opted by the people who before 9/11 didn’t care about NYC, and to this day do not care about NYC and the surrounding areas where the people were from who were in the towers that day (not to mention the Pentagon or Pennsylvania).
Like “patriotism”, t’s been weaponized and politicized. https://www.threads.net/@anildash/post/C_yCxm_J29k

Is there some special trick to get Apple Photos on the Mac to sync and pulldown photos from iCloud? It's a month behind and there is nothing that I can find to force a sync.

@npub1v0j…9rfl ours in in our neighborhood and not crowded between 7:15 and 8am when we’re there. It’s mostly neighborhood moms after school drop off.
I think Poppy would love to have regular play dates, but I don’t think she would handle us leaving her somewhere well.

@npub1v0j…9rfl yeah, it’s very frustrating at the park. Poppy likes being on the side with bigger dogs but gets intimidated easily, so I always need to stay close and keep an eye on her.
There’s never any friends on the small dog side, and she gets lonely.

@npub1v0j…9rfl I see it a lot, too. And sadly at the park even more. It’s also always a dude.

Really thinking about trading in my 14” MBP Pro M1 for the 15” MacBook Air M2. I love the MBP but the 14” was a compromise. Both the 14” and the 16” are overkill for me, but I definitely wouldn’t have been able to hang with the 13” Airs.
