The only comfortable flats I can find in my size are Furoshikis from Vibram, I like them fine but they're not fancy.
And heels don't make much sense in a wheelchair. 😜

My kid and I are trying to get something done with an airline that requires talking to a person.
On our third roguelike pass through the phone tree, it asked whether we wanted to "talk to an agent", and my kid immediately said "no", meaning we had to start again.
I asked why, and my kid says "we're trying to find a person, not an agent".
That's what, less than three years for my kid to associate the term "agent" with "having my time wasted".
Good work AI industry.

I know a lot of people are curious about bottom surgery, and there are various options that people have to decide between.
I'm really happy with the option I've chosen and I'm attaching the explanatory image that my surgeon shared with me that really helped me understand what was possible.

One big question I have about the new Google search: what engineering manager signed off on launching the biggest prompt injection vector in history on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend?
Poor poor pager carriers aren't making that BBQ.
(Memorial Day, for non-Americans: the traditional start of summer, Monday off, pools open, kids are getting out of school, your friend with the biggest backyard is hosting a cookout, it's a crappy weekend to be on your computer)

Amateur radio spend all day talking about their rigs and exchanging pings and snr tests with each other, and it seems silly, but it has an important purpose.
They are maintaining their network at all times so that in the case of an unexpected emergency they will be able to step in and continue to exchange pings and SNR tests with each other.

I don't think the US political class even realizes that about half of the country wants to see the US completely humiliated here.
Hegseth aside, most Americans don't seem to want to see (particularly white) people *die*, but they also seem pretty ok with data centers and five star hotels getting blown up, and Iran completely depantsing the US diplomatically.
I have never seen a national mood like this in the US, ever, and of course it's taboo to discuss on the vry srs nooz.
I'm telling people "we had no idea going into 1989 that the Warsaw pact was going to disappear, or that in 1991 the USSR was going to disappear".
Trump is even more addled than Yeltsin, and insane on top of it. The US government's financials were on fumes before this war.
The US is a continental empire based on a cultivated sense of imperial mission and universal civic membership. ICE killed the idea of universal civic membership, and this war is destroying the will to empire. What's left, March Madness?

Tapes were the everyday access to mix culture, some people still call playlists mixtapes.
If you had a two-deck box and made a well-mastered tape for someone and wrote in the track list nicely, it meant that you actually put in the time.
Sometimes you'd have to be on the radio getting ready to record the block where a song was going to get played so you could dub it for someone.
It's nostalgia for individual creativity, for actual human gestures. At least for me.

I talked to a decades-long, extremely close cis male friend of mine about how people in crowds looked at me differently after transition, and about how I'd feel safer if he stayed closer to me in the crowd we were about to enter.
"You're imagining it."
Meanwhile, I had been groped without permission by somebody in a crowd less than a month before.
Even people who have literally experienced the difference between being seen on one side of "the binary" vs the other are not seen as having relevant insight.

Driver was a woman in her late 20s, medium dark complexion, curly dark brown hair down to shoulders, about 5'9".
No plate or placard; she saw me taking the photo, got huffy, and asked "you got a problem with it?", which to me is a pretty clear indicator she knew it was wrong.
(Plenty of people need ADA spaces who nevertheless walk without visible issues, so I'm not gonna judge it based on her apparent mobility).
