In my household full of PBS and MPR, this news has been more important to talk about than whatever the Orange Moron is blabbering about.

Played a (heavily modified) game of the Pokemon card game with my son. yay!! He read nearly everything, did all the math, and loved when I kept drawing basic pokemon that he could easily defeat with his stage 1/2 cards. He loved it and has made me promise to play tomorrow. 💙💙💙💙💙

Mood.

Catching up on Starfleet Academy. The Life of the Stars is BY FAR the best of the series so far. It’s a mix of “JFC they better not be doing a Tasha Yar thing,” to dropping my jaw, to bemoaning “why are they trying to tell three stories in one episode, this needs to be told over half a season.”

This is the moment he became the peace President

Tonight’s colorful sunset sky over downtown Minneapolis, as seen from Mendota Heights

This is what ecocide looks like.

Playing with having copilot running while setting up a new makefile. It's relatively helpful at remembering syntax! But then it suggests stuff like this: rm -rf build/*.o examples/*.o examples/* libavsuldotso Um... that rm would have deleted all my example source code without asking. lol @ "AI"

I’m not going to post the picture of Orange Hitler wearing a hat during a dignified transfer ceremony. It’s honestly one of the most offensive things I’ve seen him do. Yes, I know he’s done way worse every other day of his miserable life, but some ceremonies hold actual value. This is one of them.

The earth should eject humanity off the planet.

lol no

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Time for some balls, space balls.

Screaming

My reaction was the same as many, I’m sure: Fuck this guy. (The subject being Orange Hitler, incase this isn’t something you say on a daily and/or hourly basis.)

Never actually installed the google cloud cli client myself until tonight. Damn, that is a really great console installer. A+. Respect where respect is due.

lol steam crashing due to Slay The Spire 2? Buying is erroring out.

I regret that my technology was ever used to help perpetuate the ideology that led to… whatever the hell this is.

We're looking to add some writers to our team, plus an artist to do some merch designs for us! If you're interested, please send in an app! I like to think we are pretty fun to work with, but I may also be biased.

Awoooooo

Friend just told me about the rumours of Win12 being subscription-based. And as a fossil who who lived before personal computers were mainstream, I say:

Switching to Linux desktop almost fully the last two years has been one of the smartest tech moves I’ve ever made. No gaming issues. No AI slop. If Windows 12 really is pushing AI like this, Big No. The reporting on this isn’t definitive, however. Grain of salt. www.pcworld.com/article/3068...

Another angle of the US 5th fleet headquarters taking a major hit from Iran.

What did we expect?

Hm. I may correct a grave injustice and play through Planescape Torment. Been on my bucket list for years.

This is a legit steal if you don’t have them already. $23 for everything. All of them average to way above average RPGs. Thousands of hours of great gaming for that little is wild.

Fuck us, again.

Fuck us.

Quick! Someone call The Baileys! @schumer.senate.gov needs to know how they feel about us going to war with Iran for no reason! youtu.be/dijMKwZMU2Q?...

This video. Jfc.

BREAKING The Israeli military has launched what it says is a “preventative” attack on targets within Iranian territory. Israel has declared a special state of emergency. Full Story With Updates: bit.ly/3MV1hKj

Here we go. This is how the US tries to justify it - “We’re just helping Israel.” God fucking damnit.

Israel saw Trump getting flip floppy on the US attacking Iran thing so pressure has been up for the last 48 hours, Israel initiating the attacks on Iran is the ultimate pressure as the US is now forced to shit or get off the pot.

Resurrected my 2018 Mac Book Pro, which is probably my favorite laptop. Using VS Code's SSH to run it all on my main desktop, and able to do ALL coding with it. Just awesome. Also getting close to having my file system on a FUSE and kernel driver. Should get me a C coding gig hopefully?

This timeline is REALLY weird.

Wife and I are pretending it's 2006 and watching a new episode of Scrubs over our lunch break.

Ummm. Want.

I could drop real money in the Minecraft store and make my kiddo very very happy. Thank god I don’t have any to spare.

This says how I feel better than I could. Basic fucking humanity isn’t a thing to compromise on.

They're all fucking, aren't they? What else explains this weird ass devotion. I want to vomit, and had to share my terrible, awful, horrible intrusive thought.

This is nothing but political retribution for Walz running against Trump/Vance, and for our collective non-violent resistance to their military dictatorship. How many people are going to die because of this?

I got to be hero dad today.... when I put a dinosaur mod on Minecraft.

4 Minnesota guys

In 2015/2016 a blizzard hit while I was in NY on business. I walked to Times Square in the middle of it. Beautiful. There was a snowball fight. COPS WERE HAVING FUN. wtf is this shit now?

Finally watched Sinners. 11/10. The music/dance scene is incredible.

this is WILD

the rules are clear: Ryan Coogler gets to keep shooting until he misses

Here’s a rare ONE LITER bottle of SURGE… just in case the typical 20 oz wasn’t extreme enough for you. (1997)
