“the tender stems of cilantro are even better than the leaves” is a plot by the chef underclass to reduce their labor by skipping plucking cilantro and I applaud it

Silmarillion posting

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

What we are working on right now: blog.exe.dev/meet-exe.dev We all need more virtual machines. We keep building software to work around the fact that VM infrastructure is clunky. Let's have good VM infrastructure instead.

this is good and you should read it kenbaumann.substack.com/p/notes-on-p...

It’s 1989. You work at Best Buy in the stereo department. Some kid put on Fuck Tha Police and you only stopped them after hearing the “Ice Cube will swarm” line. You are scared shitless, looking behind the shower curtain every time you take a piss, checking the rearview. You have lead poisoning

band who's going 6th after hearing the first band play seven nation army: ok this sucks but at least there's 4 bands between us and them

the funniest thing that’s ever happened did not happen to me, so i can only imagine how funny it must have been first hand, in real time. it happened to my physics teacher Mr. Turner, who told me a couple years back at a school band competition 6 of the 7 entries played Seven Nation Army

I think everyone interested in how some people appear to be captured by the language-generation capacity of LLMs should read Embassytown by China Miéville.

in addition to launching new software this early morning i also made a survey about the nature of the soul. fill it out maybe? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet. After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

I’d make the case that Caves of Qud is one of the standout works of SF in the 21st century thus far. It’s taken over a decade; it’s sprawling; it has its own idiosyncratic but consistent epistemologies that are only learnable by fucking around. So to see it recognized by the field is so validating.

if you're anything like me you probably think at least once per day dang i really want an Obsidian vault of heraldry terms. well take a look y'all github.com/kevboh/heral...

TOMORROW comes a new Relentless Picnic

something i think is underdiscussed in tech is how venture capital is an engine that turns youth into money, and that this is why its most platonically ideal avatars (the vampiric thiel, the son-drinking johnson) are obsessed with reclaiming a spent youth.

best part about parenting is everyone has the same anecdotes. universal behaviors. the other dads complete my sentences: “and I told her honey you can’t just wander into the dojo when daddy is one with the blade lest I mistake you for my ancient enemy and eviscerate you.” knowing chuckles, nods

Found a tiny god dead in the garden fence. Looked like it got stuck and then in fear its divine ember burned too hot, cracked, and cooled. I buried it facing the south

Joining a weird programmer cult. They know how to manipulate a small number of machines that are created specifically to be manipulated by commands that can be learned and googled so they probably have a line on ultimate truths

In a blog post for the SCS, I explore the Roman army as a self-consciously multi-ethnic force, responding to racist efforts to purge profiles of minorities and women in the nation's service from DOD websites. www.classicalstudies.org/scs-blog/mik...
