    I&amp;#39;ve worked in the tech field for nearly 30 years now. Something new happened today: Somebody with whom I&amp;#39;ve worked just... retired. I&amp;#39;d be lying if I said I wasn&amp;#39;t a little envious.

    At long last, Global Tetrahedron takes over InfoWars. And wow, it is glorious. Though I suspect that the guy in my neighborhood with the &amp;quot;INFOWAR&amp;quot; license plate on his truck might have different feeling about it. https://theonion.info/ #theonion #infowars

    I don&amp;#39;t love the new TTT rules in the Tour and would prefer a longer TTT using the old rules. But that was a pretty fun way to start the race. VLAB looks really good. #tdf #tdf2026

    Maine democrats found a whole pile of competent and qualified people to run for governor, but the best we could do for the Senate is an octogenarian and Graham fucking Platner. FFS. #maine #politics #uspol

    The Inner Ring posted a good breakdown of the sponsors of all the teams racing in this year’s Tour de France. https://inrng.com/2026/07/pro-team-sponsors-2026/ #procycling #TDF2026 #cycling

    @samlitzinger I&amp;#39;m not really surprised. There are just as many Trump signs/flags/etc as ever. Yesterday in Maine there was a pro-ICE rally, though it was notably smaller than the anti-ICE rallies. And of course, read the comments on any mainstream news article and you&amp;#39;ll see lots of Trump support. I think he&amp;#39;s reached the floor of his support. Those still attached to his worldview are there for life.

    After 15 years with us, Chewbacca (usually shortened to “bacca”, not “chewie”) died yesterday. We’ve known since last fall that he didn’t have much time left. I’m glad he made it to summer, though, so he could go outside and find a peaceful shady place to lie down for the last time. He may have been the best cat I’ve ever owned. When my kids were little, they would manhandle him and he never got mad or scratched them. He was incredibly friendly, but also a big clumsy goofball. #catsofmastodon

    There are ads for &amp;quot;TrumpAccounts.gov&amp;quot; on the Tour de France stream in the US. 🤡 🤦‍♂️

    @regendans@todon.eu this is why typing ‘soffice’ is still one way to invoke libreoffice. Somewhere I may still have the Star Office docs in hardcopy. Maybe even the installation media.

    The tastelessly decorated big american pickup truck in front of me at the light this morning reminded me that #qanon is still very much a thing, despite being somewhat less in the news lately. I wonder if there’s any hope for these people.
