Today, in "Who The Fuck Approved This UX?"

Oh look, one of my domains is about to expire. Might as well renew it for as long as I'm allowed. Looks like that's ten years, according to the options presented by my registrar.

Oops, sorry, something went wrong but we won't tell you what. Would you like to contact support?

I suppose I would so long as it's a meatbag and not an LLM. Looks like it's an overworked contractor, so "yay" for that.

Turns out, the maximum you can hold a domain registration is 10 years. Because my domain registration has not already expired, I cannot renew it for ten years.

Why in the strawberry NesQuick-infused tap-dancing fuck would you even present that option on the domain renewal workflow then you morons? The only way I could do that is if I let the domain registration expire, and then it's not a renewal, is it?

As the game goes on, the increase in the ratio of photos of Superb Owls to commentary on CapitalismFest 2026 keeps going up and I am here for it.

There is a certain amount of delicious irony in Green Day opening the Superb Owl with Holiday (an anti-war and anti-military-industrial-congressional complex song) and American Idiot (an anthem decrying the folly of mass media leading the masses to political paralysis).

That such a chillingly poignant lede comes from an account ostensibly known for tooting disposable goofs is as harrowing a sign of the times as any.
