tired: map/territory divide wired: summary/story divide

The boys down in marketing had a field day with this one. “Big dog”, “Thanksgiving-ready”, simply “Wequila”. They were disappointed when the boss man wouldn’t budge from “Extra Grande”.

“Hope this helps!” Is the spiritual opposite of walking away from an explosion without looking back.

Expedia’s new marketing campaign gets it

Thomas Kinkaide looks like someone came home drunk and microwaved some Matt Berry for a snack then forgot about it until 11am the next morning.

Me: Claude, help me write my self-assessment for the past 6 months. Claude: When arrives your last breath, St Peter will not greet you as a friend. Your name shall not be among his pages. Me: Okay but could you at least format that as an impact statement?

You ever wonder how many plays we’d have if Shakespeare had access to cocaine?

New insult just dropped

Yall I have a 2 week old at home or if be all over this. Go in my stead. Carry the fire.

I am ALWAYS counting crows

I was busy studying the blade

What’s everyone’s out-and-about note taking method? Like, you’re in the grocery and remember a thing you need to do when you get home. Or you see a thing you want to remember to look up later. I’m all over the place with this.

Backers at our Gold Tier get a limited edition screen printed dust jacket signed by every member of the team. Backers at our Platinum Tier get a little kiss on the cheek <3

PAYPHONE - You're not a revolutionary, Harry... You're drunk.

This bullshit homophobia aside, this is your periodic reminder that the SC Senate seat is not seriously in play, and your donations will go farther in a real contest. Andrews couldn’t beat Mace in SC1, she’s sure as shit not beating Graham statewide.

Listen, I don’t want to build the torment nexus either, but building nexuses is my only skill, and y’all stopped paying for all the other ones.

What has my life’s work been, if not the creation of a pizza boy?

Sorry. I can't help you.

Not to discount real educational investment, but I did sorta think the free test prep program was just called “school”

It’s 10pm. Do you know where your Claude Code is?

I’m not even against vibe coding anymore, I just think if you’re gonna shoot off a half-dozen incantations to an unfeeling God, you should light a few candles first.

Oh shit- new Greek myth just dropped

For sale: newborn onesie, never worn. (Our kid is fine, it just got lost in the back of the drawer)

To all my dev friends- you should answer this casting call just so you can hang out with @jason.energy

Wow that human suit looks uncomfortable

This is the “Isn’t it pretty to think so.” of food writing and I needed it today.

Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, ice beats ICE

The README section about hot reloading did not need to go this hard

This what we lose when we hand all dev over to AI. Claude can’t make this dumb little joke. ChatGPT can’t chuckle to itself.

I broke my tooth on stale bread.

If you’re cold they’re cold. Take them out of the freezer.

I’ve really enjoyed Pavel’s writing this year. Thoughtful, well-researched analysis of where UX is headed and where it should be headed instead. If you’re not subscribed, you ought to be.

Care to comment, @hbomberguy.bsky.social ?

It’s only an existential crisis if it’s from the Crisé region of France. Otherwise it’s sparkling anxiety.

"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.

We all know someone that, given the chance, we’d Cask of Amontillado without a second thought.

You do not please us.

Slept in my Mountain Goats t-shirt and woke up in a bargain-priced room on La Cienega

Becoming a father and learning how to take care of my child is the single most exciting and incredible thing that’s happened to me. I can’t imagine outsourcing that to a robot.

Frosty only comes to life when he’s wearing the magical hat. And if Frosty is destroyed and rebuilt, he’s the same Frosty as before, with memories, once the hat is back on his head. Frosty is not a snowman. Frosty is a magical hat currently possessing a snowman body.

I just realized that George Motz (not on Bluesky) and John Darnielle ( @themountaingoats.bsky.social ) have extremely similar cadences when talking about their craft and I don’t know what else to do with this information.
