i love that part in the wizard of oz where "the witch is dead" is interrupted by the monkeys flying in to admonish the munchkins, pointing out how the witch's project of terrorizing the munchkins gave them a sense of purpose in life and that the celebration provided justification for the terror

i think more event companies like meetup & alamo drafthouse should publish iCal feeds of "things you signed up for" so i don't have to remember to add/remove them from my calendar

people who understand management: so you've got to give up micromanaging things, you can't get your hands into every technical problem that your team tackles, you absolutely must delegate. me: i understand. also me: ok so here's the mutex-handling strategy i'd use in the caching layer

Alamo Drafthouse just opened Barbie movie ticketing and their website is SLOW

After 11-year-old Aderrien Murry called to report a domestic distrubance at his home, an Indianola, Mississippi, police officer shot him in the chest. "‘Why did he shoot me? What did I do wrong?'” his mother heard him say. He's recovering; the officer is on paid leave.

The idea that corporate profits contribute to inflation went from conspiracy theory to real and probably good

wtf? h/t @knilirabaj.bsky.social

i think in a vacuum it’s easy to look at this stuff and not care - it was all hollow, phony corporate solidarity anyway. but this is part of a coordinated effort to push LGBT people back to the fringes of society.

the xrpc verification thing feels too powerful. dns is a somewhat high barrier to entry but just getting access to serving http at a domain name? tons of services hand that out, someone got @/s3.amazonaws.com!

the law that’s written and the law that’s enforced are rarely in line when their enforcement mechanism is beat cops and “guy who heard an anti-queer law just passed on the local news and open carries”
