If you will forgive me some accountability-posting, here’s me trying to do my 4 chords.

So having celiac means I have to be very vigilant about cross-contamination. The "safe" amount of gluten for me to consume is less than 10mg, meaning even tiny bits of contact can add up to enough to cause a reaction.

Update: C is actually the hardest beginner chord. It sucks so bad. My fingers hurt. 😭

I have a verbal habit of occasionally adding “hey” to the end of my sentences (eg, “it’s been a while, hey?”) and I have no earthly idea where this comes from. I don’t think it’s local to where I grew up. I’m not sure it’s local to anywhere!!

Kairi.

Montessori toys confuse me so much. I’ve got cute toys that make fun noises and have faces drawn on them and Montessori is just like “all children innately desire wooden egg.”

I have been trying to learn guitar on and off (98% off) for almost 20 years. I have never managed to successfully play a song. There was always some barre chord I never got a handle on or I couldn't do the chord changes in time.

You can completely uninstall/disable copilot on Windows. Your system and local search will run faster afterward. www.howtogeek.com/how-to-rip-o...

I think watching a movie before reading the book is underrated. Yes, it prevents you from picturing any of it in your head differently, but what a joy to go “that world was amazing, I want to dive into it” and having a pool ready and waiting.

Typing the sentence "I'm an adult" into a cover letter to convince the hiring manager that I didn't just throw the job description into an AI and ask it to write it for me.

Devastated to report that 2.5 years of a celiac diagnosis has still not convinced me to enjoy corn tortillas.

You will never in a million years be able to give critical attention to all the games that deserve it. So why waste it on stuff that people shouldn't touch on moral grounds?

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

Today my cat was too busy trying to eat a bee to come eat his dinner. I managed to get him downstairs after it stung him in the mouth. I think it's the most orange cat he's ever been

There’s no such thing as parental rights. Parents have responsibilities. *Children* have rights.

thanks for the advice kamen rider

Just putting it out there that if you're looking for a backend engineer with a wide variety of experience in games, tools, and build/release, I'm available and very fun to work with.

I haven’t stopped thinking about this serious eats article I read a couple days ago about ripening bananas. The sheer hubris, the running throughline of “wait, I know science, why should I wait for nature?” Anyway, I’ll be doing this tomorrow when I make muffins for my daughter and I’m so excited

I know I'm late catching up with Jeopardy but how is no one talking about how @kenjennings.bsky.social is a @makesomenoise.dropout.tv fan

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

Finally found a place to put air in my tires without needing to acquire the arcane currency known as “quarters,” got a haircut, did laundry, replaced the water filter, broke down boxes, took out recycling, and applied to 3 new jobs. I am very powerful.

So uh...some people might be aware of the fact that when they made a girl version of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, they just kinda had to pick from the dudes who were already there for the bachelors, none of them were designed with women in mind AND I FORGOT THE MANUAL JUST FUCKING SAYS THIS??

Every once in a while I will send someone a long string of unbridled nonsense capped with the statement “I’m funny” and I really think it adds to my appeal.

Always fun whenever someone discovers that Kars 4 Kids is an organization designed around using charitable donations to fund New York teenagers’ summer camps and trips to Israel

After more than a year of effort, it's finally here- my DMC series retrospective and Netflix DMC video essay! Please enjoy!!

I saw this, thought "that's a recession indicator if I've ever seen one", and confirmed that the 1970s recession was between 1973 and 1975. So weird how BK wanted you to think it was very American to order a nothing burger! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973%E2...

i'm mom :)

Took a few minutes today to explore the idea of moving to Finland. It was nice to fantasize about living in a functional society that seems to care about quality of life.

Remembering the episode of Glee where we learn that Rachel’s cool college boyfriend is a sex worker so we beat him up then get him kicked out of his home and then we never see him again.

people act like "AI hate" is some irrational mania and not a rational response to events that are happening!

My preferred AI metaphor is actually Asbestos. - Seemingly magical properties - Developed and experimented with to make endless products - Poisoned countless communities in it's creation - Everything it was used for eventually becomes a toxic hazard to mitigate & it's in the fucking walls now

I love this visualization. Just to be explicit: prediction markets are a way for the haves to extract yet more wealth from the have-nots, and it is one they are unforgivably advertising as a way to "make rent" or "get some extra spending money." This is not what happens.

My daughter's number one favorite toy is this little book called Happy Fruits. I think it's supposed to be a bath toy because it's all vinyl and waterproof, but she lights up whenever she sees it

In a discussion about this post, I’ve learned that my daughter is captivated and thrilled by “badger, badger, badger,” but instantly distrustful of “mushroom mushroom”

hot take: women are less likely to use AI because we’re quick to clock flattery as a tool of manipulation

my very favorite Richard Dawkins headline of all time remains “British scientists don't like Richard Dawkins, finds study that didn't even ask questions about Richard Dawkins”

Sometimes I just want to stop pretending that it’s easier to open up a whole separate keyboard or type a whole :code: than it is to just type “XD”

My baby girl has reached an age where she’s figured out she can hold one thing in each hand and bang them together. I’m calling it her adventure game era.

So are high school reunions just not a thing anymore? What would’ve been my 10-year was during the pandemic, but I dunno if we’re just supposed to be keeping up with each other on Facebook or what (I am not doing that).

we fucking told you so

what are they hiding from us
