NEW! Check out your Vim Yanked for your 2025 stats on the text you edited this year, for some incomprehensible reason

seems conspicuous that programmer commentary on genAI is split between "oh yeah i use claude all the time now. the 10× programmer is real and he's me. i am a god" and "yeah my coworkers use claude all the time. they keep committing crap that doesn't work and now i spend half my time fixing it"

jesus christ, Google is trying to cram AI down our throats so hard that this Maps listing has *two* AI-generated summaries that *disagree* about the store staff (I work for Google, but on other stuff, and I am, of course, speaking solely for myself. 🫠)

trans people if you did nothing else this year you made it through 12 months of the federal government having your extermination not low on its list of priorities and you can feel really good about that it’s a big deal

“but i dress for autism, not for style” thing i just said lol

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

"The AI tools are going to get better" ok great call me when they're better and I'll use them more then

All roads repurposed for public transit or closed & converted to pedestrian streets. All public transit planning will be made by neurodivergent genderqueers who are obsessed with trains. Once we have that everything else about a functional society will naturally fall into place. Ty for listening.

I propose that, when the urbanists win and we rip out Storrow Drive to make more parkland on the banks of the Charles, we have a festival every Labor Day where we gather to ritually sacrifice a box truck on what was once Storrow.

This is very much a tap on the sign moment right now: STOP USING FAKE "FANCY" FONTS If you have to take your text, chuck it into a "fancy text generator" to change the style, stop it. They are NOT accessible & sounds horrible when read out by screen readers.

while I'm infodumping about flashlights I picked this discontinued baby (literally, it's tiny) up a few years ago on ebay: www.ebay.com/itm/37479585... it's a single-AA flashlight with a purple-red-orange-yellow fade, and it was an autism awareness special edition :D

You can't just say "trigger warning", you have to say for what or it's completely useless.

Got a friend asking for some accessibility focused reading, and it's been a minute since I started learning the topic. Do you have a go to text to introduce the topic in 2026? Please share!

hey @deviantollam.bsky.social do you like pictures of FACPs with the bitting code very clearly labeled on them?

“Just stay home if you are afraid of getting sick,” is not sound advice when many of the ways that allowed people to do so (remote work, telehealth appointment options, etc.) have been needlessly removed over the last couple of years.

as it's the season, @elliesaur.bsky.social and I got to talking about the media hand-wringing about "estranged parents", and, well: if you're a parent, and you want to keep your relationship with your kids once they're adults, treat them like real humans who you'd like to keep as friends.

The Santa Clause 4: The Nonbinding Arbitration Clause

Bicycles travel at the speed of observation.

People with autism are showing signs that they may soon develop independent thoughts, and worse, start expressing them, researchers have said.

hey, folks who wear tab-style diapers and change them themselves, what's your preferred method for that? (lying down or standing up, bottom tapes or top tapes first, put on before/after tapes, etc.)

yeah, sure, Font is the name of the doctor; the monster is called Typeface. Don't be pedantic

hey, autistics who do the ear defenders/etc. sort of thing, what models do you like?

okay but I miss this shape of device so much

Perhaps the very best way I’ve ever seen this phrased 👏🏻

I think the optimal experience is to convince people that you are a charming little weirdo.

Forever relevant

are Venus flytraps vegan?

just managed to call 311 from my *landline* to report a tree on a power line! 😁

The "B" in Foone B. Turing stands for Benoit B. Mandelbrot, btw.

sometimes I tell people that I'm a man who can get pregnant. this is known as A/B/O testing

because of having a legal name change and a casual name change, I tell some people my name is Foone A. Turing and other people see Foone B. Turing this is known as A/B testing

Obviously we stand in solidarity with striking Starbucks workers everywhere. As a former "partner", viva la union!

Yeah I like waymo. Waymo public transit, bike lanes and benches!

The hour, agreed upon by all leading supermarkets, will conveniently be held between one and two in the morning, a time where autistic people are most likely to be able to get out and about.

Remote places are a fascination of mine, and I think it's interesting how, despite all our modern technology, it's still hard to talk to the South Pole due to the physics of satellite orbits.

how do I tell the difference between healthy rest and recovery and unhealthy inactivity and derealization?

Got something real special for y'all: This Sunday, cafe Reynard is hosting the DEBUT PERFORMANCE of Chelsea Carrier, a local queer singer-songwriter! Our very own Roxy will be accompaniment on the guitar! No tickets needed, just bring yourself here around 9:30 AM on the 7th and enjoy the show!

heads up, this is what happens when you use a 'bold font' in your (plain text!) display name.

If you’re going to have AI chatbots replace human customer service workers, please don’t give them names and pretend like they’re actual humans. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

The comment thread here is the embodiment of :lolsob: There is legitimate promise to LLM-assisted coding, but there are also legitimate risks. Like this. And no one here is malicious!

Any game that goes (gen)AI-free is already starting off on the right foot with me!

yeah

hey, @peligrietzer.bsky.social arxiv.org/html/2511.15...

please form an orderly line, one at a time please, let your server know if you've got a nut allergy

me: it's kinda wild that I can feel the scleral buckle around my left eye. it's like my eye has a cyborg exoskeleton! @elliesaur.bsky.social: it's an eyeball corset! apparently it's @glaucomflecken.bsky.social o'clock at the breakfast table 😂
