look, i just think if some of these ppl handwringing about mamdani's supposed antisemitism spent half as much time studying torah as they did attacking mamdani, i have a suspicion they would no longer be feeling the desire to attack mamdani

$friend: hey, does this anything in this code jump out to you, I think something's wrong with it code (translated for this post): `fn T::eq(a: T, b: T) -> bool { a.f == b.f && f64::to_bits(a.g) == f64::to_bits(b.g) }` me: *screams* me: burn it, then fire whoever wrote it, preferably out of a cannon

Fermentation is Alchemy. Alchemy is Magic. Therefore, Witches should make Pickles.

sideways leadership transfers are always just... weird to me. if u start in a new sub-discipline as a swe u spend a buncha time learning, but somehow u get leadership that just... doesn't do that? like that should/would (likely) be an employment blocker in any other job besides management

archive.is/rMK5M this is really interesting, and kinda implies that indoor ranges are probably not the healthiest for yet another reason, esp w/o suppressors (which are... difficult to get depending on where u are)

vonnegut permanently on my naughty list, for his bigoted remark on semicolons. Not even in defenses of trans or intersex or anything. I just think that if you imprecate the semicolon you should go to buddhist hell.

fun fact this phenomenon what convinced me to come out full time; i wore a witch costume for work halloween and decided the next day i couldn't bear to go back to hiding.

So, You Wore A Dress For Halloween and Now You Want To Do It Every Day

boston-area folks: if u haven't been to black ruby thai burgers in porter, u *have* to go. one of the best burgers ive had in a while (and they have good fries and a mango float to boot)

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

all of this is to say: it really fucking pisses me off when people accuse zohran of antisemitism, particularly other jews, who a) should know better, and, b) should recognize the struggle of muslims in america and have some fucking solidarity

what zohran says here resonates with me: when i hear him talk about being made fun of for how he eats, it reminds me of how alien i felt explaining and dealing with keeping kosher as a kid; ...

If you live in San Francisco, today is a good day to familiarize yourself with the San Francisco Rapid Response Network, which has a 24-hour hotline for reporting ICE raids, actually verifies those raid reports, and does attorney activation: sfilen.org/resources/sf...

Kickstarter staff have been on strike for 21 days, in a bid to protect their working week and win a minimum salary. These are small, reasonable asks for an outstanding team that have helped to bring countless new pieces of independent art into the world. How you can support: kickstarterunited.org

this progression fantasy book i'm reading has a side plot where a bunch of friends tell the traumatized mc to maybe find a therapist and he (suprisingly) goes "you know what, sure" and then the side plot advances by people giving him advice on finding a good therapist that fits him.

cause i know some rust folks follow me: i had a cursed rustc bug today. this is the first time i've ever found a rustc error message that was completely & totally misleading (likely gonna file a rustc bug after i put together a standalone reproducer repo): github.com/bytecodealli...

Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

rainy season! a bit early this year, I think. missed the sound of rain on the roof and raindrops running down the window. gotta get my fireplace cleaned so a I can get the full package.
