I wouldn’t say that coprolite is my top favourite fossil, but it’s certainly a solid number two.

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

I’ve been doing a lot of healthcare tweets this year. Here is something clever I said about baseball, which will surely assure everyone of my youth and vigor.

And yet they called him “Indiana” Jones. https://noc.social/@todayilearned/116857488227303278

You think you can’t have this first generation #apple Watch charger Designed By Jon Ives In California because its supple leather and methode traditionnelle slow charging are above your station. But think how you’ll charge your watch the next time you want it to take 14 goddamn hours.

Mexico won a football game, and the Mission is enthusiastically setting itself on fire. I would be aggravated, but I think someone will send video of this to Fox News claiming it’s a response to the USSC’s birthright citizenship ruling, and that fallout is funny enough to justify cracking all of […]

The probably-Turked Apple Music algorithm that plays my shower music has started sneaking in K-pop, and in my new era of radical acceptance, I’m just letting it happen. I actually like it.

Good night SF.

This year I am 44 and 88, and today I am 19. Happy #pride.

Hello @torproject, in light of the revelation that Mullvad's founder and co-CEO Daniel Berntsson is funding the Swedish fascist party Örebro, you might want to clarify your stance on the relationship. https://support.torproject.org/mullvad-browser/faqs/relationship-between-mullvad-vpn-tor/

A visiting friend’s child pointed to a telephone on the table and asked what all “the buttons” were for. Well, young man, it’s time your parents taught you about line appearances.

I’m on some Cowperthwait’s HOA group thread, and today they’re talking about postponing some gathering because one of them injured himself. I sent a cheerful note along the lines of, I won’t be able to make it that day, because I am busy and I don’t know who any […] [Original post on sfba.social]

I’ve had myself a good health scare in retribution for my shitposts, and someone has set up some kind of Grubhub wedding registry for me, so if you’ve always wanted to send me poisoned dumplings, now you can. https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/ne0on7

I’m putting this in writing now, for the benefit of future plaintiff’s attorneys: I will punch, on sight, anyone who approaches me wearing Specs or Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Coming from a man on death’s door, you can be assured this is a credible threat.

In a story about how Meta plans to combat extremely poor employee morale (I wonder why. Nobody knows.) “Meta will commit to transparency from its leadership and its employees' personal and career development, Bosworth's post added.” “Meta will allow people reassigned to the AI task force to […]

heyyyy i have a line on a cheap Dell Latitude 5300. Anyone here got one of these? Caveats for Linux? Use case: my main play and production box.

RE: https://aus.social/@coolandnormal/116761960016737205 TIL what a shopping cart / trolley costs, and it’s a whole lot more than I thought.

RE: https://flipboard.com/@npr/all-things-considered-ji18657oz/-/a-95wHKMspTdOuEpHIh6fRXA%3Aa%3A3195441-%2F0 Oh shit, farewell to a legend.

I always store my baby in a lead cask, just in case.

four hundred years ago you could throw an incredible party by inviting a bunch of people over to watch you take the lord’s name in vain

Your honor, I was told that this leopard didn’t eat faces. “Another lawyer, Kathryn Williams, admitted to using an AI tool that she did not name to do research. Notably, that tool was described as being built for ‘in-house legal research,’ and that the tool in question is not supposed to […]

Anthropic’s marketing team got extremely laid Friday night, and deservingly. Two out of the last two Anthropic stories to break containment and make it into the general-interest press have been a variation on “Anthropic: the only AI so powerful, the government is scared of it.” That is a […]

I am way too young to be this good at navigating MyChart.

I actually work at the sausage factory and they don’t even let me look

Now that I am physically off the property, I am at liberty to instruct each of you, friend and foe alike, that if you ever even consider visiting UCSF Stanyan St Marys of your own volition, I will find you and kill you, really just to deprive them of their attempts.

One of my nurses told me that being healthy enough to be bored is a good sign, so I wish everyone would stop being so mad that I sideloaded DOOM onto the bed.

Home sick from the ballpark today but also this is p much my standing mien watching our #giants.

Stumbled into a deli selling a “Hangover Special”: your basic bodega egg sando with a copious, garish, absurd amount of hot sauce. My nose is running, my eyes are watering, I am alive! But honestly, if I actually were hung over right now, it would have killed me.

Part of the required coursework for billionaire training ought to be developing a thicker goddamn skin, but you just know this stuff is going to lead to handwringing for “civility” and a federal program to deport all new college graduates to warehouse jail […]

I think it’s weird, but neat, but weird that Walgreens uses the soundtrack from Twin Peaks as its hold music.

Okay, whom do I know in #sfba with a pool

I am once again asking you to remember that “running” is a fake activity made up by Big Toilet.

With apologies to Greta, I unironically love air travel. I think part of that is that it reminds me of my childhood: eating little crackers, slow internet, and wine in a can.

So it turns out you can install IPv6 Dnsmasq on your toilet now.

There's a popular theme in the LLM discourse right now along the lines of "all or most programming languages are about to die" and bad faith intentions aside, it helps frame part of the confusion around being able to generate code Much of the rhetoric treats code as a thing that is only written […]

RE: https://sfba.social/@cowperthwait/116577655415313015 For real, though. I can’t recall the last time I’ve both wanted to vomit and been profoundly satisfied at the same time.

Well. I was yesterday-years-old when I conceded the point that you can just fill a ramekin with sriracha and use it as a dipping sauce for a hamburger. RIP my esophagus.

Happy “I Am So Old, I’d Never Been To This Bar After 9pm Before” to all who celebrate. Relatedly, I’m suspecting I’m #OpenToWork less because of backfilling my retirement or whatever and more because I’ve learnt I need Botox.

A feature of petsitting a tiny puppy is subsequently finding my socks hidden throughout the house. Couldn’t figure out the weird lump in the duvet cover… surprise!, it’s a sock!

I’m not saying male perimenopause is a thing, I’m just saying I’m crying at the end of “Splash” (1984) in this bar.
