Stop scrolling a post a ‘photo’ of two characters who bring you happiness.

Death and his Granddaughter Susan dressed in black with snow covered pines in the background. From the movie Hogfather.

Jesus Christ just put me on an iceberg now.

Teaser text for a video where the stars of the British version of the Office reflect on the series which apparently is 25 years old now and I am just not prepared to be this old.

Took you long enough, weirdo.

Schizanon.bsky.social has added me to the “Wrong about VR, AI, Crypto, Smartglasses, GLP1, NFTs, or Bitcoin” moderation list. (6 out of 7 isn’t bad!) Badge of honor, really.

Side by side on the shelf. What utter marks conservatives are. Amazing the contempt they have for their own base.

JavamanPhil@javamanphil· Jun 24

lol. I see what you did there @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social

Screen grab from Vermont Green FC’s website that says “Francou’s Brace Leads VGFC to 4-1 Win Over Boston City FC. Jeremy Francou stayed red hot with two more goals, while Riley Maloney and Alex Hall each notched two assists to lead VGFC to a 4-1 win over Boston FC.” VGFC was forced to play in Boston City’s red away kit because of a mishap with VGFC kit.

I see you. UTFG!

Old dude with a white beard, black cap, and green Vermont green polo at Virtue field. Here we go!

I stand corrected

Message on a TV screen: please wait. Your video is unavailable due to network limitations at the venue

Is uncomfortable worse than concerned? Where does this fall on the Susan Collins index of doing nothing?

Screenshot of an article from the Hill (no, I am not linking to that rag), titled, and I fucking quote, "GOP Senators grow uncomfortable with Trump rhetoric"

Is your prompt strong enough for this?

Getting in shape for Tuesday's @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social @opencup.ussoccer.com match. Home gym required some extra motivation. (Thanks @tylerlittwin.bsky.social ) #UTFG

Two Vermont Green Football Club 2025 playoff run match day posters by @tylerlittwin, framed, against a light green wall with assorted gym equipment in the foreground (and for some odd reason a balsa wood pinball machine on a wooden table.) The other three match day posters from the USL2 2025 playoff run are on the other walls behind me because complete sets are better. #UTFG

Screenshot of next Tuesday's weather for Burlington VT. 60% chance of snow. Low 18 degrees Fahrenheit, high 30 degrees. My electric socks are already charging.

Yo, #wwfc community, NPR Tiny Desk Concert staff are part of the pack. Also, hell yeah, De La Soul! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AVY...

Pos from De La Soul rapping at a mic in the NPR Tiny Desk studio. Lots of flotsam and jetsam on the shelves behind but featured prominently is a WWFC (Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club) scarf. Wolves ay we!

I dressed up to vote.

Old, overweight white dude with a serious expression, in glasses with a greying beard but still brownish mustache wearing a Vermont Green FC winter hat, Patagonia coat (duh) unzipped to expose his Gold and Black (up the Wolves!) "Football Against Fascism" shirt from the Green Mountain Bhoys on his way to vote during Town Meeting. Democracy is work, kids.

Moon. Yip. Yip Yip. Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip.

Have some dignity. Genuinely cannot understand going through life wanting to be this guy:

What if we sweetened the bland grain flakes and left the naturally sweet addition alone?

Ad for Crispy Wheats 'n Raisins cereal. Features a kid in flannel saying "Hey! This isn't raisin bran!", cereal box and bowl filled with cereal and milk. And toast for some reason. Glass of OJ (good) and milk (why?) in classic 80's glassware.

On an off-white background, a very large, red lobster facing forward has a cosplay cop gripped firmly in its right claw while another cosplay cop lays prone in front of the beast. Large block letters behind the scene in red say "ICE OUT"

“Show me what comic you loved when you were 13, and that’s all I need to know about you.” -Brad Meltzer

Four panel black and whit comic strip called the Angriest Dog in the World by David Lynch (yes, that David Lynch). The lead in text says, in scrawled writing: The dog who is so angry he cannot move. He cannot eat. He cannot sleep. He can just barely growl. Bound so tightly with tension and anger, he approaches a state of rigor mortis. Panel one shows a black dog straining at his leash in the backyard barely growling and inside the house someone says "If everything is real...then nothing is real as well." Panel two has the same dog with no text. Panel three has the same dog with no text, just grrrrr-ing. Panel four is nighttime, the dog still strains and growls. Inside the house someone says "It doesn't get any better than this."

To hell with your perfect 90s album. Here is the most perfect album in the history of music.

Cover art to the album Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk. It's really hard to describe but basically it's a stylized tree with a blue sky with clouds and the ocean behind it. On the tree are some leaves, sea shells, a puffin and another bird or two. There might be some mollusks. This makes me sad I don't sit and stare at album art work while spinning and listening to an LP like I did when I was young.

An underrated feature of suckage in the Apple universe is their Music search if your tastes are not particularly mainstream.

Screenshot of Apple Music screen with the search bar filled with "as long as you hold me" (quotation marks included to indicate I am searching for that exact phrase) and the top results being Backstreet Boys "As Long as you Love Me". I wanted Kirtsy MacColl, Apple Music. You have failed me.

Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

Bob Denver as Junior, a grey-haired and seemingly dim-witted but uniquely clever NASA maintenance worker, and Chuck McCann as Barney, his plump and grumpy co-worker. Patty Maloney played Honk, their furry little alien friend who made honking sounds out of the horn on the top of his head instead of speaking.

I'm aged.

the display of the 1970s Mainframe Star Trek game. White text on a black screen. The game board is a 10x10 grid with E representing the Enterprise, K representing Klingons and I think the asterisks were stars. Various data is represented on the right (star date, condition, warp factor, total energy, torpedoes, shields, Klingons left, time left, and life support.) Thank you Loyola College of MD computer summer camp!

Artistic silhouettes of seven people, all shaded green. Figures appear to be ethnically diverse and of various heights, weights and ages. One has a bike, another a bullhorn, one a book or pad of paper, two have crossed arms, and one squats facing the next set of described figures. Even a young child stands in the middle holding a green flag. These figures surround 5 masked and armored people dressed all in black as seen in on American steets as they conduct numerous anti-constitutional raids.

This is the funniest email I have ever received.

Screenshot of an email from ParkMobile addressing a data breach:
"No court ever found ParkMobile liable for anything; rather, this settlement was reached to allow the company to continue focusing on providing excellent service to its customers.

You are eligible for up to a $1.00 credit to be applied to ParkMobile's service fees. The code provides a $0.25 discount on ParkMobile's service fees and may be used up to four times for a total discount of $1.00. The code will expire on October 8, 2026."

And then some bullshit about California.
