The bombings will continue until morale improves

2026 basically

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Can’t believe we are still doing this

Watch the first season of The Pitt over the last few days and now I’m halfway through season 2 and you’re telling me I have to wait how long until the whole season aired

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Looks like there’s an upcoming adaption of Lord of the Flies, bite come to think of it I‘d rather the next season of Yellowjackets.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

This seems unnecessary

I said what I meant and I meant what I said.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

I'm still a bit sad about not being able to use #Positron with many of the remote hosts I work with due to a bug(ish) that's not their fault (shoutout to github.com/posit-dev/po...) but I also want to point out that in the past few months I have continually recommended Positron to my colleagues.

Really appreciating my Nebula subscription right now :/

The curse of generating a funny memorable password (the correct-horse-battery-staple format) with 1Password and not being able to post about it because it's now the passphrase of a GPG key I kind of need.

Started watching the first episode of The Celebrity Traitors and the hardest thing so far is to take Claudia Winkleman seriously after just recently listening to that Off Menu episode where goes on a rant about not liking water and how she hates moist tongues.

A neat little quiz game: Is a headline homophobia from the 80s-90s or transphobia from the 2010s-2020s? Because it's all the same bullshit, repackaged for the hate du jour haveigotphobiaforyou.com

Can’t wait to finally finish my PhD so I can read for leisure again. Very much looking forward to the book that makes me chuckle on the dedication page already. @jayforeman.bsky.social 🫡

I have watchlists across several apps, including letterboxd, Trakt.tv, plex, and at least one notes app - but what I actually want is one unified watchlist that not only notes the movie or show, but also who recommended it (if applicable), for what reason, and what other context is relevant.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again. www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
