Last Notes npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa **sigh** add it to the list of obviously illegal stuff Trump has done that no one is going to do anything about. https://www.floridabulldog.org/2024/08/trump-may-have-voted-illegally/ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa lmao you love to see it. https://www.nj.com/politics/2024/08/gop-pollster-on-trump-harris-i-havent-seen-anything-like-this.html https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/963/434/939/412/607/original/3e46f7703e1d472f.png npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i guess this is Dave Batista now. looks good! always thought he was the best of the "wrasslin' guys turned actors" so glad he's looking for roles other than the muscles guy. https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/960/646/470/733/535/original/818e40ce1e20a90e.webp npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa hilarious that we speculate about communicating with space aliens when we can’t even figure out how to communicate with whales and parrots. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa one upside of the race riots in the UK is some great northern English accents in my feed now, sticking up for immigrants. good folks. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa dude is not campaigning and we don't know why. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa lmao as if it's a normal thing to "stump" in Montana, a state with four (4) electoral votes that hasn't gone for the Democrats since 1992. https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/932/270/149/946/177/original/a687d7154f8469aa.png npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa maybe also add a thing like follow requests, where you request the ability to comment on someone’s posts? seems like this kind of thing is urgent if we want to make it bearable for people to have large followings on Mastodon. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa personally, I really enjoy some of the influencer accounts and I am not that interested in interacting with them. it would be cool if Mastodon had a “broadcast” mode where people could read and share but not interact. (I understand this would be VERY frustrating for a certain type of person lol) npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i don’t actually know how you fix the “culture” in a decentralized social network. almost by definition, it’s gonna be a mixed bag. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa this is the crux of it for people who have problems with toxicity on Mastodon: they want exposure to a large audience AND for it to be polite. seems like with Mastodon, you get one or the other. https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/871/428/305/710/498/original/8ed8b6737216ffae.png npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa seems like for the longest time, Democrats resisted mocking Republicans for being weird assholes out of decorum and the belief that they needed to work together, even as Republicans were lashing out at them on a daily basis. AOC was the only one apparently willing to dish it back. so nice to see the gloves coming off. fuck ‘em. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i think Linux installs don’t play well with the lid closing hardware or something, so instead of going to sleep or turning off or something it just flips the fuck out and runs the CPU/GPU at 100% as a cry for help. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i did this **on a plane** when I pulled it out, it smelled like hot metal. not a great moment! npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa hey if you ever want to light something on fire, take a Razer laptop, install Fedora, then just close the lid and stick it in your backpack. 🙃 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1ae9…lu4a bro you gotta chill. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa “Harris isn’t a real American because she’s never had a baby” this isn’t a thing you debate about, this is weird, psycho shit. it’s clown-town, because they have **nothing** npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa people are going to need to figure out that responding to these wild, stupid claims legitimizes them by taking them seriously. this isn’t Vance making a Serious Accusation, this is the GOP flop-sweating and we should laugh at them. https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/837/034/105/275/371/original/67b4cb4ffb812c7c.png npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1f4k…zueq yeah, that's a good point. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa before you react to stuff like this on social media, consider that a lot of it is fake. we are well past the time when you could assume most of the stuff you see posted by strangers online is from real people. (this is a MAGA influencer who forgot to switch to his alt) https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/835/659/324/954/936/original/2f78eb3bee9cd7a6.jpeg npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa a weird thing about small-town Illinois in 2024 is the ambient country western music. this is NOT how it was 25 years ago, people listed to top 40, etc. i dislike the southernification of the Midwest. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa this makes me extremely fucking angry. https://apnews.com/article/trump-classified-documents-smith-c66d5ffb7ba86c1b991f95e89bdeba0c npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa also, my original thought was former military, but 20 seems kind of young for that. i guess dishonorable discharge is possible, but. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa the way i see the "Biden=old" thing is: if the Democrats can get him to step aside and unite quickly behind an obvious successor, great. let's go. but if they can't (which seems to be the case now), the whole thing turns into a protracted and destructive clusterfuck that--whatever the outcome--is actually **worse** than having the party united behind a decent man whose priors have already been thoroughly litigated and whose only drawback is that he's not in great shape because of his age. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa I do appreciate that now when it asks you for a product key you can just say “I don’t have one” lol npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa my god the Windows installation process is such a fucking pain in the ass. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa it’s pretty nuts that random newsletter guys, social media shouters, and my own mother are doing a better job describing Project 2025 than, like, the New York Times. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa lol I guess no one is feeling very adventurous after Sunday’s segment. #TourDeFrance npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1js2…6knl yeah, what i'm describing here is 10x true for any kind of ski or beach town in the US. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Barcelona is about 2 million people, and it's **very** dense, only about 100 square kilometers. there are 8 billion people in the world. or let's say 1 billion with the resources to travel for leisure. if 1% of them decided to visit Barcelona during the same three months so they could get a selfie in front of the Sagrada Familia for the insta, that absolutely collapses everything. it's completely impossible. so, there **is** a limit, the question is where to put it. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa don’t knock it til you’ve tried it, I guess. https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/756/459/776/145/320/original/b37fa7fe0cd76458.png npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa current status of Spanish TV: getting a sea turtle to pick who wins tonight’s match. (the turtle picked Spain) https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/756/359/752/584/670/original/3721eab4be874d0d.jpeg npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Texas sounds like it sucks. Florida is crazy and doomed, but at least it's kinda fun. Texas just sounds mean and miserable. https://time.com/6982015/bitcoin-mining-texas-health/ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa this is like a video some Europeans made to troll Americans. https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/comments/1dyp065/to_get_a_gun/ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa (fwiw, Spain v. Germany was good as hell, both teams were playing excellent, exciting football. wish they could have both stayed in.) npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa buhhhh England v. The Netherlands, just drill a hole in my head and scoop out one of the lobes, please. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa 200 bucks for this is a steal. and again, really great seeing visible screws making a comeback. https://cmf.tech/ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa think i found my next phone, holy cow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ki4bS4V2gQ npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa this is a bad idea. if Biden drops out because of his health, everyone must unify around the other person on the ticket, Harris. anything else would be a destructive scramble. https://flipboard.com/@semafor/politics-uken72n0z/-/a-O2gT8uEKSQ2M0C_wIcSUIg%3Aa%3A3943444710-%2F0 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa I bet grabbing a water bottle as you ride past someone at 45kmh is easy, anyone could do it. #TourDeFrance npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa a problem with digital television is everyone experiences the big goal at a different time. we were walking down the street yesterday when Spain scored the winning goal against Germany and you could hear when the different households saw it. was like a period of at least 20 seconds, with a different watch party breaking into cheers every 5 seconds. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Kevin Garnett is a great actor too. in the realm of sports guys who became actors, he’s way up there. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa the Type of Guy who always has some big score he’s about to get. there’s always some business plan or he has a friend. he’s borrowing money, he’s asking his friends for favors. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa “Uncut Gems” is such a good fucking movie. it’s got the narrative velocity of a bullet. just a guy making one bad decision after another, I hate it/love it. pure anxiety. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa someday when i have a job i can't want for a neighbor at a barbecue to ask me what i do for a living so i can say "TABLESSSSS!!!" npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa the scene in my head when i want to check what's going on in an SQLite database. https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/739/257/492/125/199/original/69f7f889b2d2e466.mp4 npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa the New York Times makes a lot more sense when you realize it is actually a very fancy Parade magazine for upper-middle class knowledge workers: mainly games, recipes, shopping, fashion, real estate, and advice columnists, plus it comes wrapped in a newspaper. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa fuck off. https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/739/095/934/198/915/original/005e9c51003a3a84.png npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1pcu…axps then I guess we’re fucked! npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1pcu…axps to it’s not true. he hasn’t even been nominated yet. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1pcu…axps he’s literally polling behind Trump by a significant amount right now, if he stays in we are fucked anyway. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa dinner in Spain is at 10pm, so I guess peepaw better send his SecState instead??

I tend to think a lot of those people talk a big game to friends and pollsters and then walk into the ballot box and go “fuck it.” and vote for one of the big ones. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa going up a 14% grade at 12kph is insane. they should put a normal guy in there too so we can gauge how hard it is, but it would have to be a different normal guy every stage because the guy would die. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa now that I live next to a smol mountain, I know what a 13% grade feels like and what the fuck. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa watching stage 2 of the Tour de France, gonna fall asleep in the middle and wake up for the end. peak “dad in Europe on a lazy Sunday afternoon” vibes. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa I am actually watching the Tour de France this year and it is fucking **great** npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa we are watching a right-wing judicial coup against our democracy play out in slow motion. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i actually find the **more** a tech media source talks to CEOs, the **less** insightful/informative it is. the job of a modern CEO vis-à-vis the media is to bargain, barter, and lie in order to manipulate the narrative in their favor. imo exposing readers to rhetorical machinations that are designed to muddy the water do nothing to elucidate. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa how fucking arrogant and self-centered do you have to be after that to still think you're the best possible guy to defeat Trump. **everything** is at stake and peepaw is like "me me me me me." npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa Spanish press. brutal. https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/693/207/577/513/203/original/2132d33cec9d94ee.png https://cdn.masto.host/thepitsocial/media_attachments/files/112/693/209/662/051/104/original/40c66ee7bb4ffff4.png npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa something else is wrong with Biden too. it's not just that he's old, 81 isn't the end of the world. he's had mini-strokes paralyzing his face or something. his mobility has been severely limited. he wasn't this bad even just like 12 months ago. the people around him need to tell the truth before it's too late. i bet it's MUCH worse in person. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa this is the Dianne Feinstein shit all over again.

Latin Americans have political agency and their own politics and power structures that have nothing to do with the United States or the CIA. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1hs7…as6q i'd be watching the whole thing peaking through my fingers, there's too much at stake and the media ecosystem is too stupid and toxic not to cover any gaffs in the worst possible way. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub17n7…sxdv hm, good point! npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa @npub1u39…csql i did not! but i just listened to an account of what HS football practice was like in the 1970s, and let me tell you something: lots of kids "seeing stars" told to shake it off. can't have been great! npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa pst hey The Pit, new AI assistant emoji just dropped: :clippy: npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa i feel like making American football a thing that all male children were supposed to play and then rewarding them with leadership positions when they were good at it in college handed the levers of power to a LOT of people with traumatic brain injuries. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa oh fuck the debate is today?? I am not watching that shit, what a horrifying spectacle. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa at least a quarter of social media content is “look at this asshole” content. TikTok duets, X quote tweets, YouTube reaction vids, footage of boomers and karens and drunks and fuckboys and bad drivers and cheating spouses, everyone wants you to look at this asshole. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa so many people have bullshit jobs producing paperwork that no one reads and those are gonna be the first to go. npub1xk9nz0zytmxvsjz7cfmsy9vtghaxka5t57smewvus20tmjte7flsyg9hfd Peter Krupa one thing is for sure: if you are doing repetitive, mediocre writing that does not require human creativity or a high degree of technical accuracy, your job is in **serious** danger.
