He doesn't know what a corner store is. He's taking rich and out-of-touch to new and exciting places scarcely imagined.

Gotta love that as soon as oil hikes hit Australia my government decided to make all public transit free. This is one of the many reasons I'm never returning to the states.

What if you gave a web developer from 2006 Claude?

What's always fascinated me about political women and their loyalty to Donald Trump is just how tragic their personal stories are. Monsters are rarely born monsters. Commonly they are made. Never question they are monsters, but understand they became that way because they were women tortured.

What's really interesting is all the pizzagate, qanon, hunter Biden laptop people are absolutely silent on the biggest pedophile elite conspiracy coverup in the history of the USA spanning CIA, DOJ, and global intelligence agency infiltration. Where did they all go?

I am one hour into the bondi investigation with Congress and not one Republican representative has asked a single question about the Epstein files.

I will never understand the need to make wuthering heights a romance novel...

Trump posting a meme depicting Black people as apes was totally about economic anxiety, y’all.

I've never heard a U.S. president say he wants to bring housing prices UP. It's an unelectable position. And the "Trump Homes" side grift the same week. The SAME week as an ANOTHER disgusting Epstein drop. He is never planning to run again. He's betting on elections not being valid or nasty.

Trump supporters do not read and they certainly do not read documents. I'm not sure what we're expecting here but it won't be a Christmas miracle.

Samwise Gamgee resonates as a millennial. He rolled with the end of the world and his near death repeatedly, while having qualifications he never used (botany), because he was told to follow his manager. Happy end: home & children. They prob would not qualify his income in the shire for a home loan.

I cannot recommend One Battle After Another enough. Paul Thomas Anderson is a favorite writer/director and this screenplay feels audacious enough to be the plot of an Almodóvar film from the 90s. Incredible performances in a world all too familiar.

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank! linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

I guess I'll keep waiting for the NRA to come out and publicly denounce a man being shot for a valid CCW permit, using his 2A rights, while also not drawing a weapon on anyone... Just kidding, I'll head to bed now.

Right now the Nuremberg Trials should be the moderate position.

My brothers, it is with great regret I inform you, I have introduced American spellings into the code base.

The e-newsletter new years edition from my therapist contained some pretty deep truths. One that stuck with me is: "Overthinking is under-feeling. Feel more. Feel bravely." Hope that sticks with you too. Get curious about your emotions today folks.

"Please tread on me daddy" - your avg rattlesnake flag holder

Holy smokes woke is so back

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

Hey slightly serious post, please share if you can: if you are a #software developer in the #Australia area and are looking for a #tech job, please reach out to me. I'm looking for mid or senior engineers who excel at constraint based optimizations, typescript, and k8s. Sound like you? Get in touch.

I don't know if this is a hot take, but sometimes I feel like this industry treats people who have been in a codebase for a long time and wrote all the bugs as senior. Seniority to me means something very different than experience. Thoughts?

Women only want two things: looting and shooting

To the people who didn't know stripper poles spin: how exactly did you think they were rotating?

I keep microwave popcorn ready at home in case I need to crack open LinkedIn and read the unhinged replies to literally anything Albo posts.

I know the world is falling apart but Predator Badlands was actually so fun

Every bar and store on my street serves this cola

White lives matter group is awfully quiet today

I would rather burn down the stadium than have my little girl's genitals inspected so she can play softball. I don't understand Washington State voters right now or why that is on the ballot, but it's deeply disturbing. Trans rights are human rights.

Hm, do we all remember the tomahawk missiles on Syria? They happened on new years, just like Venezuela. Wonder if Trump just reflects on his death every year and figures he can live forever through legacy? No idea honestly just really strange on the timing. Could be both instances he was polling low

Can someone explain why people avoid typescript features like enum because they generate more JavaScript? Type safety is absolutely worth the tradeoff? Like, we have source maps, minification...the industry completely solved this problem a while ago? What am I missing

I could pick up a heroin addiction or just keep using Claude code to generate my work. 50/50 toss up every day on which is better for me

Sitting in a local coffee shop which also is a local Laundromat. I was just served an immaculate long black. Even the laundromats in Australia serve better coffee than any place in USA. It hurts, but the truth hurts man

I don't think Trump's base wants another war like the Gulf wars. They don't want foreign conflict, they want America first. I think this is his version of a desperate attempt to change the channel on his Epstein shit. It will probably work for him. Wild that his base is that stupid.

Is craftsmanship dead? Are we in a post clean code world at this point

Oh yes AMERICANS are such IDIOTS for using something other than the metric system eh? What absolute idiots, you say? Allow me to show you what Europe has decided for us all. You're going to attempt to defend SEMIBREVE instead of "whole note" ??? No girl, NO. YOU WILL BE BLOCKED.

Merry Christmas meet some of my friends

Nuclear takes: - Magic Mike is a good movie - Magic Mike is a male fantasy movie - Dallas in Magic Mike is potentially Matthew McConaughey's best role

"Frodo, take the idea of playing outside until you're tired. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out."

Ahhh first day of oncall today at work!!! Excited but nervous. Which prob means nothing will happen until Saturday when it's the most inconvenient time lol. No idea why that is.

Nothing makes me prouder to live in Australia than to see the new cycle rally behind Ahmed al-Ahmed, a Syrian refugee, who saved lives from terrorists. I would bet on Aussie immigrants 💯 and I would have thought twice bringing my gun to a fight with an unarmed bodega owner who survived Idlib.

Ah, my favorite Beatitude: "Blessed are those who humiliate people who are murdered by their families."

Windows updates sometimes feel like the mob has come to collect on your small business

I have a spider that's a baby huntsman who was living in my door. Homie disappeared in my kitchen but I figure he will pay rent eventually once he gets his life together

You gotta be a fucking neandertal to hear someone say "affordability is a democrat hoax" and go home to your shit hole hovel you rent to live and think gee at least we're owning the libs. I never wanna hear these assholes complain about gas or eggs again.

Another J.S. Bach fun fact: Bach didn't really write operas; he wrote his Passions which were as close in form as he got. However, he also wrote a short cantata called "Coffee Cantata" about a woman who won't listen to her father or family and give up coffee. She just loves it. Lol, they give up.

Dude arc raiders has me hooked lol

JUST IN: Acclaimed playwright Tom Stoppard dies at 88

It's 2025 and none of us know if it's Front end, Frontend, or front-end

On the hunt to join a DND campaign online if anyone knows of a good group!
