I find myself feeling vindicated for using a Heileman's Old Style pitcher as my decanter

Grumpy old man take: Not sure when exactly audiobooks got to be so popular. But I wish we could go back to the era where discourse about books online wasn't dominated by comments about the voice acting. Which, you know, isn't actually part of the book.

Git-flow was always a bad idea so maybe the slop is doing us a favor, just a thought

@straczynski.bsky.social All these years later and "This is Ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw or be destroyed." still gets me right in the feels every time.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Some people are calling it the flag of Woke 2

I fall for it every time: Linkedin: "Would you like to try premium for free for one month?" Me: "Sure, why not" Linkedin: "Ok. Just enter your credit card info here ..."

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

So now we're here. AI is the new way for them to capitalize on all of the investments they've made in infrastructure. They are selling picks and shovels for the gold rush. So they have to create the gold rush. That's literally always what they're doing. bsky.app/profile/polo...

Protip: make sure you use New York salsa on your Mexican sandwiches with canned tortillas.

The part of "everyone becomes a manager" in AI that I didn't really think about until now was the mental fatigue of context switching and keeping many tasks going at once, which of course is one of the hardest parts of being a manager and now you all get to enjoy it too

Got a form letter from Disney+ telling me that they're altering the subscriber agreement. And I can't help but think they really missed out on an opportunity to have a GIF of Darth Vader saying "I am altering the customer subscriber agreement. Pray I do not alter it any further"

In translational/clinical work we see bioinformatics projects fail not due to science, but because early assumptions box the data in. We plan with downstream reality in mind: biology, existing data, constraints that matter. That’s how teams move fast without rework. Let’s chat & scope your project

Didn’t even occur to me that in Puerto Rico you can watch the Super Bowl outside, wholly superior society.

I can never tell if I like Scalzi's work or not. Whenever I read one of his books it's a roller coaster of enjoyment levels.

How come every time I see your name in a headline you’re either doing the most milquetoast, performative thing ever or bending the knee?

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

I don't want to alarm anyone, but you need to stop everything you're doing right now.

TFW "An NFC offensive player" doesn't realize Puerto Ricans are US citizens

This is a long and very quotable piece about one of the more bizarre episodes from the ICE surge in Minneapolis. Read it this weekend. You won’t regret it.

This Friday, January 30th Alternative Tentacles Records will be closed in solidarity with Minnesota and the call for a National Day of Action to say ICE OUT OF EVERYWERE! Make plans, organize your people, and look for ways to support the members of your community.

Got to keep the camera alive

@jensuths.bsky.social turns out the burger in sauce thing was a trend after all www.eater.com/japan/897390...

Ok, Fernando Mendoza setting a Linkedin profile status of "#opentowork" made me laugh out loud. I wonder if I did that, would I also get swooped up with a guaranteed $50 million payday?

I just realized that tweet screenshots are the cat pics of Bluesky

I knew this was going to be about Twilight:2000 as soon as I saw the post, and was not let down! Let nostalgia reign!

New case study out: Fulcrum Genomics + Belay Diagnostics. We helped take an ECS pipeline from prototype → CAP/CLIA-ready clinical deployment, with auditability, testing to prevent regressions & cloud architecture fixes that reduced cost + avoided resource exhaustion. 👉 tinyurl.com/mtkwup9b

It's not awesome that I wasn't sure exactly which country was being discussed here without checking out the thread. The n of potential answers *should* be 0, but given it is > 1 is something else.

Not only is this already the dumbest landmark ever based on this pic alone: it's symbolic and not even where they landed.

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

This guy for president

Pathetic and almost comical but how fucking disruptive, bizarre, & bad this is kind of kills the humor. This man has Pearl Harbor’d Iran & Venezuela so far and has expressed an intent to do the same to Greenland, the potential consequences of which strain my vocabulary & imagination.

I just wrote a country's name as "Spane", how is your day going?

I didn't need an article to tell me that one of my dogs may be "gifted", while the other one's primary gift is being dumb as rocks

It’s getting so the only safe place to be is in the Epstein Files. 🔄

Minnesota Nice is rapidly turning into Minnesota Fuck Off and it is wonderful to watch.

Today we feature a teammate balancing rigor and delivery in complex projects. He shares views on data-driven development, disciplined iteration, and connecting lab and computational teams. We hope you’ll feel like you’ve met us — or want to. Meet Matt Stone: blog.fulcrumgenomics.com/p/meet-matt-...

@marchurboston.bsky.social Saw a thing on the somerville Facebook group that la brasa shut down. Haven't seen it anywhere else yet but seems truthy

sysadmin hits different now

Just discovered there's a lot of old Scissorfight footage on Youtube. Tonight just got good

Received a fidget/stress ball as part of a xmas gift. sat on my desk for a few days, then started, well, fiddling with it. and now it's broken and I need a new one of something I never even knew I needed!

13/10 no notes.

@unlikelywords.bsky.social this you? 😂 www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeau...

Is it a new method to prevent and limit wildfires? I bet it is!

oh my god he posted so many action shots from the makeshift mar a lago situation room and they were just looking at tweets together on a gigantic screen

If you wanted to know why uv is so much faster than pip for Python package and dependency management (hint: it's not solely because it's written in Rust). nesbitt.io/2025/12/26/h...

Grand cru of champagne and beer

I just received a phish attempt email where their attack vector was for me to renew my AARP membership. FML.
