Fellas, is it counter-revolutionary to drunk drive?

behold, the fish-o-tron 3000, a machine that gives you fish. the days of learning to fish are behind us; for $200 a month (for now), everyone’s a fisher. all the fishers are on SinkedIn going “i haven’t caught a single fish myself for a year”. agentic fishing is the future of fishing, everyone!

the worst “i hope i’m pronouncing these names right” i ever heard was at a protest where the speaker was reading off names of people killed by ICE

feel like I need to reflow my brain. melt it just a little so the pieces scoot back into place

HEAR YE, HEAR YE: God Herself(!!) has come down and given us a decree: YOU MUST THINK OF A BIGGER NUMBER. big fucking number (April 2026, digital collage) is a MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER WHATEVERTOP ROLE PLAYING GAME in which you must think of a bigger number. Think big and maybe something will happen.

Hey all, I decided to write up some of my thoughts in more detail about why I don't vibe code, in case it's interesting to any of you jacobharr.is/personal/i-d...

going to a rationalist and being like listen buddy i heard about this scary new idea. its called $70’s basilisk. what if there was an entity that, when it came into being, eternally tortured everyone who didn’t give me $70? it’s a simple exercise of pascals wager white boy

due to staffing shortages i have to be the angel on my own shoulder

the first thing in a list is number 1

@neildegrassetyson.com I don’t get why reclassifying Pluto as a dwarf planet makes it somehow not a planet? It’s clearly a subtype of planet?? Planet is LITERALLY in the name??? #pluto #plutoisaplanet #whatelsecoulditbe #whydowecountgasgiantsasplanets #thatsjustabunchofgasinonespot #astrophysics

The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.

my This Machine Makes Fascists Slightly Uncomfortable (Or At Least It Would If They Noticed Me At All) sticker is too large to fit on my guitar

I've been trying to reframe "I'm not built like that" as "I haven't built myself like that" but actually I don't think I like taking that much responsibility for the way that I am

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

drank too much, woke up after four hours of sleep with a gnarly hangover, threw up. can i get a mulligan

ok I know for a bit if you applied for a US passport while transgender they'd just steal your documents and not give you a passport; does anybody know if it's still quite that bad? I'm assuming even though I got my birth certificate corrected I'm not likely to get accurate info

evil gerson: I’m young!

heartbreaking: if you toss your ancient kindle in a box and forget it for several years and move three times, the screen may break

Really enjoyed being a (tiny and then nothing at all) part of this very cool project!
