Pandemic lockdown anniversary post that echos the then-current story that we’d be shut down for “weeks.”

Mocked up/'shopped series of images of a notional toy or animated figure based on the dark blue/light blue macOS Finder logo. The figure is doing things like waving, jumping, napping, running, using a computer, giving a thumbs up,and walking a dog (which looks a *little* like Clarus the Dogcow).

A powerpoint slide from a talk. Top: "The Third Thing". Then a line of text: "I don’t have a clever segue, so here’s a pair of Segways." Photo is two men on Segway scooters, on a lawn, holding polo mallets.

A figure in a heavy purple robe stands under a blue evening sky. The figure is mostly unseen, buried under the robe; one skeletal hand is visible, holding a walking stick. Under the hood, where its face would be, is a red icon of a low battery encircled by an Apple-esque charging ring: a gray circle with a short red arc indicating that the charge is low. The robe has a greenish sheen to it. In the distance is a blurry hint of trees. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Willow sticks in the ground
Previous failed attempt

This one involves more mature starts, deeper driven into more wet ground.
After I did this we got soaked with rain. I expect better growth.

Chiefs from four First Nations communities are urging the public to please approach Aaron Gunn with no caution whatsoever. He is completely harmless, though momentarily unsettled by the alarming possibility that someone might acknowledge the land before a meeting.
Yesterday on social media, the MP appeared to crash out and demand to speak to the manager of land acknowledgements, a position that observers confirm does not exist.
Chiefs whose territories make up the riding had two words for the MP - Chillax, Bud.
Land acknowledgements have never seized private property, cancelled a mortgage, repossessed a pickup truck, or altered a single title deed anywhere in Canada.
They are simply people recognizing the history of the place where they are standing.
No one is going anywhere. Canada will survive the brief moment of honesty.
Until then, Chiefs across the region continue to reassure the public that land acknowledgements have not, to date, resulted in any land back.

Conservative MP for Powell River–North Island, Aaron Gunn, is not a sensible person. Local Chiefs gave the perfect response.

"Chillax, Bud"
I love this for them.

Conservatives are not reasonable people.
@mcmjolnir I mean, they could have brought up something about aboriginal title being settled law, but that would have been engaging with his stupidity, so they did the right thing and mocked him
@scruss he's def not the one to engage about that, no no no.
"to date" is a nice little button to ensure that MP Gunn will not, in fact, chillax.

But the truth and love people fall, too? I think we (pointing to everyone on earth) need to stop assuming the inevitability of justice as if it’s some universal truth.
@fisherdah yeah, as a West Virginian I am extra aware of the missing end to many of these modern observations "...because we marched on them with automatic rifles".

Hi, I'm still here! My family and I have successfully moved to Sweden. It is very nice here. I got to walk on a lake.
Ohh gorgeous!
Congrats on the move! Change is good.
Nice, did you get out of the US?
Muppets Swedish Chef: (welcoming) BORK BORK BORK!
oh WENDY!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Congratulations!! This is so great!

Congratulations!! This is so great!
Also: I'M SO HAPPY for you and relieved you're safe this made me ugly bawl. This is the best news I've heard this year. Thank you for sharing, thank you so much. Wonderful. Just wonderful. How is it?!
yayyyyy!
Hej!
Hi I Moved To Sweden, I'm Dad!
Jealous!
Hullo!
Wonderful
From the US? Welcome to europe :-)
Hello, neighbour!
Beautiful! Congrats on the move
That's awesome. You are very fortunate.
i am very heartwarm-happy-jealous of/for you! 💜
Congratulations on the move!
@jpoulos Thank you!
@dad Yes, thank goodness!
@dreyfusslugado Oh, did you mean BORK BORK BORK? Because what you actually said was BORK BORK BORK.
@williwaw I can't express strongly enough how much it means to me that you care. Its such a relief. I love it here. Really the only struggle has been the immigration bureaucracy, which has only gotten worse over time. I haven't been paid in three months because you can't open a bank account without a thirty-step process, for example. Otherwise, it's been snowy, busy, and friendly. I get asked on a regular basis why/how Trump is still alive. My house looks like a gingerbread house. I love it.
@joost Yes, from Georgia. Hartelijk dank!
@wjcstp Thanks!
@urlnotfound I agree! I am often spooning my wheels trying to figure out how to get vulnerable loved ones here legally, to no avail (yet).
@tweedlydo I am honored by your various emotions. I've been periodically warming my heart by watching Daily Brushes with Death during the lonely transition.
@pk Thank you!

I'm always prepared with cocktail sauce
These mnemonics never help me because none of them relate to “watch” v “warning” and the two words are entirely too similar and meaningless on their own.
Your "Weather" is quite different. Forget the Celsius v Fahrenheit debate.

screeenshot of a youtube video: a disassembled macbook neo sits at the center of a repair mat. in the corner of the screen is a second camera angle, showing the host moving a screw to a bin while setting down a screwdriver.
"A teardown of the new MacBook Neo by Australian YouTube repair channel Tech Re-Nu reveals what may be the most modular and repair-friendly Mac laptop in recent times. The Neo is shown being taken apart in just six minutes, suggesting Apple has prioritized simplicity across the board, using standard Torx screws (T3, T5, and T8) and a clean cable routing design."

"...using standard Torx screws (T3, T5, and T8)..."
bwah hah hah hah, I remember when Apple started using Torx screws in their laptops and the nerd community was up in arms about how this was yet another part of their proprietary bullshit meant to screw the user.

@ardgedee @0y3ahSansAcut3 My favorite Monkee
@ardgedee all the Classic macs used Torx waybackwhen
@0y3ahSansAcut3 LOL
@jive_t <3
Most of my Macs have used pentalobe screws, which are definitely less standard than Torx.
@jtj argh, you're right!
Torx screws were definitely a point of contention back in the day (where "day" == mid-1980s) but I was misremembering the pentalobe screwheads.

I know about them, because they are used in my VW Van, wing windows.
