pixelart by me :3

Tumblr got me hyperfixating on Succession after I finished Veep and Im relying on this hellsite to get me into something else once Succession is over

This is basically the plot behind Suits, the series. It’s unhappy lawyers having issues managing stress and really just needing deeply to stop and hug it out

tumblr post in 2000: ugh why don't computers have 5.5" floppy drives anymore...

nah this is just @foone

Yeah. Except my computer does have a 5.25" drive and a 3.5" drive, because I'm what's known as "cool".

(I went looking for a pic because I'm not in my office, and the image had a zip drive in it too. That's just how I roll)

BUT

Do you have a Clik drive?

A couple!

I've got that Clik! Mobile Drive thing for copying CF/SmartMedia cards onto Clik! disks

And the USB one, which is amusing because it's just the PCMCIA drive plus an enclosure to talk to it.

And since I mentioned PCMCIA, I've of course got a couple PCMCIA Clik! drives.

I've also got the Iomega HipZip and the rave:mp, both Clik!/PocketZip based MP3 players.

And while I can't seem to locate my photo of it, I also have the AGFA ePhoto CL30 Clik!, a digital camera that takes pictures on click!/PocketZip.

You ARE A cryptid!

What about floptical diskette drives?!

I've got the Caleb It! drive, which is floptical (technically so is that Zip Drive, and the LS120/LS240 drives that are too boring to post)

But yeah. Here's two 21mb floptical drives from iomega & insite.

And for bonus, here's a floptical disk.

Foone isn’t a cryptid, they’re a very peculiar shopkeep

one fun thing about being a teacher in march 2023 is that chess is a literal epidemic among teens. we are starting to have meetings about how we can STOP teenagers from playing too much chess which is like if we were trying to figure out how to stop them from reading for fun. When i was in high school five years ago chess was nerd shit only but now it is transcending every social and language barrier and is absolutely rampant. kids aren’t on their phone texting in class anymore it’s ONLY chess.com. kids are playing chess on their phones while playing chess in real life. this is still better than tiktok because at least the kids are developing an attention span from this

the worst part of this is that they’re on chess dot com instead of getting an education. but the BEST part of this is watching high schoolers develop the weirdest goddamn strategies I’ve ever seen. One of my students invented something he calls the “evil advisor gambit” where he gets a third person to give out constant terrible advice to both teams hoping that his opponent falls for it straight-up or that his opponent thinks HE fell for it and will act accordingly thus worsening their own strategy. he has won every game he has been able to pull off a coordinated evil advisor gambit in. this is chess innovation never before seen in its 700 years on earth

we passed a sign in boring that said their sister city is dull, scotland

oh there's a third! bland, new south wales!

WHY DIDN'T THEY MAKE THE SIGN BEIGE

Because that would be dull and boring.

Reblog if, no matter the size of the role, you would agree to work with the Muppets if offered the chance to do so, no questions asked
