And Alexander wept, for there was no more hamburger to help

@jpbrammer.bsky.social Loved your story tonight at the Folly Theater!

My e-bike just shipped and I am PUMPED.

I unironically love getting notifications from the library that a book I put on hold months ago (and subsequently forgot about) is ready for pickup. It's like a gift from my past self!

Interesting, I just got an unprompted email requesting that I reset my MLB.com account "to keep [my] account secure." It's not an issue of password strength/reuse, and they haven't previously had a policy of timed password expiry. The email is legit. Security incident?

Butterflies weren’t the only ones enjoying the butterfly garden at the Dillon Nature Center today; there were also lots of Common Eastern Bumble Bees! The number of pollinators we saw doing their thing was simply delightful.

Monarch butterflies were everywhere in Hutchinson, Kansas this weekend! We visited the Dillon Nature Center earlier today and were delighted at how many we saw enjoying the butterfly garden.

I saw this little fella at the Hutchinson Zoo yesterday. A yellow-shouldered drone fly was busily pollinating this Lindheimer’s beeblossom.

(1/4) I'm soft launching nooki.me to get some early traction and feedback on what to improve. Excited to see how this platform grows!

I just found a tandem bike on Craigslist. I am about to purchase said tandem bike on Craigslist. My wife and I are going to look so dorky on our tandem bike and I CANNOT WAIT.

I love it.

Another week, another sprint review showing me with an ungodly number of Jiras in my backlog. 😅

SUCH a heartwarming story to end my evening. ❤️

Not trying to brag, but the family and I are getting ready to go on a weekend vacation to Hutchinson, Kansas. That’s right, THE Hutchinson, Kansas. 😎

I often take it for granted, but I am so, so glad that RSS is still alive and well. It’s a godsend.

my quest to get a birding comic into the New Yorker continues, but this one did not succeed in its mission

This is a test from Konbini.

Free lawnmowers are my jam. They usually just require the carb to be cleaned or, in today’s case, the idle set screw to be adjusted. Now it just needs an oil change, a blade sharpening, and a good wash, and it’ll be ready to donate. :)

I learned something new today!

United Squirrels Local 134 has accepted my offer of dried corn, but would have preferred walnuts if given the choice.

Work is paying for a brand new MacBook Pro for me. Holy crap. Thanks, corporate overlords! Happy to continue working in the code factory with my shiny new lappy.

This one got me.

If you are considering “dry” periods regarding alcohol, it is also healthy to determine if you should be dry for life I often completed dry periods to tell myself I had my drinking under control when I was merely deluding myself As I approach 6 years of sober living, I wish I had gone dry sooner!

Good news, friends! As recompense for allowing my personal information to be exposed in a data breach, ParkMobile is generously offering to give me $0.25 off their service fees up to four times!

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵 Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7

Just bought two tickets to Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile from my local indie theater here in Kansas City. I am PUMPED! www.screenland.com/movie/the-on...

The author of the Old Bear books of my childhood has a website, and she's got all of the TV show episodes uploaded for free! I can't tell you how happy this makes me. www.janehissey.co.uk

my daughter really captured my essence in this portrait of me “at work”

I reached out to Screenland Armour and they had already submitted a request for more info! 🚀 GET HYPE.

New MW Collegiate Dictionary just dropped! 🙌

The most recent episode of Left, Right & Center is fantastic. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kcrws-left-right-center/id73329771?i=1000727467586

Thank you, GQ, for giving me an opportunity to type out "BA BA BA BA BASKETBALL GIMME GIMME GIMME THE BALL BECAUSE I’M GONNA DUNK IT!" www.gq.com/story/tim-ro...

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

I went to my wife asking her what she thought about cancelling Disney+ to join the boycott. She replied that she was just thinking about it earlier today! Soulmate.

It's SO rewarding watching your happy little server manage itself through config as code. No human intervention!

This is pretty disheartening as a Missourian.

I should note that Ars Technica also has a really good paid subscription.

I really dig The Verge’s paid subscription model. I’ll gladly pay for good journalism (and bonus: no ads and full text RSS!).

Handshake TLDs feel like something some crypto bros came up with as an excuse to insert a blockchain into something new and awful. Why would we need this? What’s stopping another, competing DNS platform from offering the same TLDs? www.namecheap.com/support/know...

I can't believe I resisted Docker for so long. Self-hosting is actually fun again. Everything lives by the Config as Code ethos, too, which is such a superior way of managing systems.

I just want the world to be a nicer and safer place for my kid and all kids. What is the purpose of anything else honestly

Holy smokes, y'all, Vaultwarden is just ridiculously nice. Lightweight, too.

Apparently, it's bad luck to mention a "MacBook" in a software company. You have to call it "the Scottish laptop".

This is great news for folks in New Mexico!

I know my wife loves me because she laughs at all of my WORST jokes

Guinness Zero is just ridiculously good. It might be my favorite NA beer so far.

My best friend gave me a Chipolo CARD Spot that he didn’t have any use for. I was surprised to find that it is not rechargeable—after its battery depletes, it simply becomes e-waste. I cracked it open to see what battery they’re using, and sure enough, it’s a (theoretically) rechargeable LiMnO2.

I’ve been lurking in the HVAC subreddits. Why do people consult ChatGPT when posting in a sub full of experts?
