Someone in my neighborhood planted zinnias on the tree lawn* and it is absolutely stunning. I’m in love. Look at this gorgeousness. I have a packet of zinnias over there, I think I’m going to do the same on mine! 🩷❤️🧡💛💖 #bloomscrolling #florrespondence #flowers

Bought a used notebook at the thrift store and peeled off the price tag to find the previous owner’s label. Too bad the journal was blank.#thrifting, #secretstory, #therapy … https://www.jamesaaron.net/2024/07/25/bought-a-used-notebook-at-the-thrift-store/
This copy of Dune has seen some stuff Spotted this library binding copy Dune at the local thrift store. It had been ridden hard but was in very readable condition. I put it back for someone else to enjoy. I’ve already got too many copies of Dune.#dune, #frankherbert, #thriftscores, #thrifting … https://www.jamesaaron.net/2024/07/25/this-copy-of-dune-has-seen-some-stuff/
Imagine finding out you have special powers and that it's jump rope dancing

I haven't taken a trip in a year, and just as I sit down at the Marriott Downtown bar in Chattanooga for LibertyCon last night, I get an alert that someone is trying to charge $2300 on my credit card.
I denied the charge, got an immediate call from the credit card company, and now my card is closed pending a replacement. Fortunately I brought backup cards.
Meeting so many great people from the jump definitely makes up for it. #libertycon

I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever worked in IT. Especially, executives and managers.
Also, to anyone who has parents that are incompetent mosters (Incompemonsters TM) and need YOU to fix THEIR problems 😂

You open up a Commodore 64, and the box says "welcome to the world of friendly computing."
You turn on a modern PC, and it immediately threatens your data unless you agree to save your data to *their* cloud service.
That right there is why we talk about vintage computers. Folks need to be reminded of what's possible.
“The main problem in any democracy is that crowd-pleasers are generally brainless swine who can go out on a stage & whup their supporters into an orgiastic frenzy—then go back to the office & sell every one of the poor bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece.”― Hunter S. Thompson, "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72"
