I used to live in Park Ridge IL which is the last Blue Line stop before O'Hare. I would periodically see weirdly marked aircraft landing who weren't on Flight Radar. Always assumed "Extraordinary rendition." And, naturally, that got turned against non terrorist. Later, I expect, political enemies

I just told my wife, "why don't we hire someone to do that?" and I swear to god I thought she was about to pass out. A man's gotta know his limits. Mine is power washing the house. Uninteresting problem, no technical challenge, and there are a dozen folks willing to do it for $250. They can have it.

True story: my wife went to VCU with the founders of GWAR. The band was created so Death Piggy could be their own opening act. Thus the masks.

Glorious.

I bumped into local canine search and rescue team at the gas station this morning. They’re out looking for an 82 year-old man who wandered off into the woods. I feel great sympathy for that man’s family. Now I want to retire and run search and rescue dogs. So many things to do when I grow up.

Some of y’all didn’t grow up with the McMaster Car “big yellow book” in the bathroom, and it shows <looks over glasses>

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

New code review response just dropped:

Deep in their souls mechanics and developers are spiritual twins. Observe this excellent documentation:

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

My kid is at a selective liberal art school. I am, of course, in the parents Facebook group. I expect to be blocked at any point.

There's an alternate explanation out there, I'm sure...

Loblolly pines say, “g’morning, nerds”

This is the content I need. Not the content I deserve.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

I’m not sure I like Samsung’s “Enshittification Everywhere” scheme. Why do people buy this trash? www.theverge.com/news/780757/...

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

😳

Were any bears harmed?

oracle is a legal department which, as a side effect, produces ISO 9000-compliant variations on open source projects. if you buy any of them you will eventually receive a lawsuit threat which will bankrupt your company

y'all see anyone writing thoughtfully about assessing candidates ability to use LLMs? Are we doing take home assessments?

But can he do the Humpty Dance?

Man, these Facebook ads really know what small business owners need in these trying times.

The new Gemini image model is worth playing with.

Forget Pizza Rat. Because Pita Seagull is where it’s at now.

I think this point is far more important than we realize. The fact that we consume completely different media showing us completely different things is a huge driver of division.

It was a good fight but I’d like to congratulate cancer for winning the war on cancer.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

So… the Konami Code? ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA

My spawn is a freshman in college 5 hours away. They are doing great, thanks for asking. And I’m 50% of the way to my merit badge for matrix algebra over zoom.

I just used voice to text to write a message in Teans. It appears that voice to text on my iPhone has trouble distinguishing agents from Asians. I hope nobody screenshot it before I got that post fixed or else I’m gonna have to talk to HR. Again.

I had no idea FoMoCo ever made a centipede. If this had been built in Australia theyd have stiched 6 together youtu.be/3PBIxPmZm2s?...

Yo dawg

Lot's of new or suddenly active accounts being weird, turning up the temperature, provoking folks. Hit that block button and walk away gang.

I think if you’re a good coder who “thinks in code” then the agentic tools likely give little boost. analysts who think in business and muddle through syntax just to solve a practical problem, however, may see much larger gains as the LLMs reduce the friction from idea to code.

Number of Waffle Houses by geography. This is #art

He’ll invade Portland too.

I can write a MSFT Graph API application using Claude Code in a morning. I have never successfully built a workflow using Power Automate.

Chicago is getting invaded for sure now.

I’m living in Starship Troopers.

Good. Arthur Ashe would want you to boo.

One of the big challenges of speaking American is learning to be both self deprecating and boastful at the same time. It’s a tough needle to thread.

It’s been a month, but the mom who asked, in an online forum for incoming freshmen at a selective liberal arts college, “what clothes should I buy my son to wear to class” still lives rent free in my head. I deserve a medal for fighting back the instinct to reply, “Dora the Explorer underwear”

My local pharmacist told my wife, “if you want a Covid vaccine shot you’ll get one here” Wife said she almost whipped out a tit and yelled “Sic semper tyrannis!” I love it when Virginians get frisky about liberty. God bless the czar and keep him… far from Charles City County Virginia.

De gustibus non est disputandum

This dude threw a proxy between Claude Code and the Anthropic API to learn how Claude Code CLI works. Cool idea. youtu.be/i0P56Pm1Q3U?...
