“It smelled like nerd in there”, wife after our visit to Micro Center

I want to feel vindicated but I honestly don't. Years of PTSD from being yelled at and told I was wrong, that metrics were evil and I was actively trying to make others' lives worse.

OH: "LinkedIn is really just Business Grindr"

omg I wish you all could smell the barbacoa braising in the oven rn how is this possible

good god lemon

my pumkin he is everything

obviously you've read it before, because you wouldn't be here if you weren't terminally online. but anyway here it is again www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/its...

I will literally donate $50k to the first MAGA motherfucker who travels to Portland and captures genuine footage of a war zone that isn't of their own making.

Your monthly reminder that the IRS received my filing in April and still has yet to process my refund. It's literally October and I haven't gotten my tax refund.

War ravaged Portland

Just got back from vacation in Portland. It was pretty fucking scary walking over 30 miles all over SW, SE, and NE and still having the strength for Bonta Gelato on 10th. Tho to be fair, WAR almost broke out when I realized Little Big Burger shut down half their shops.

Relatively short trip to PDX but we had such a wonderful visit. Weather was incredible, we walked 30+ miles across three days, and got to see all of our favorite places. Sorry to my local friends who I failed to connect with but we knew we wouldn't have much time to spare. Owe you a rain check!

Awesome to see @reyjrar.bsky.social IRL this morning. Feels like we only ever get to meet up for Monitorama events, so it's a special treat to meet up with him (and grab coffee) close to home.

TFW your shoulders feel super weak on your warmup set only to realize you loaded your max set bc math is hard. #homegym

This is inspirational. I want to believe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP8O...

Been thinking a lot lately about diets maintenance home gyms lifting coffee coffee roasting portland career camping biking bikepacking steps garage storage 30 rock dropping a clothes size fascism but it always feels disingenuous to post about any of them individually because I've been so quiet.

Shit that'll make you lose faith in humanity: TIL some of the families of people picked up in ICE raids are getting scam letters saying they need to post bond via Zelle.

“we’re all looking for the guy who did this”

@scott.hanselman.com about 3/5 thru listening to the Oxide podcast and your pushback on trolling hit me hard in the feels, thank you for that.

Truly enjoyed listening to this version of the Prodcast. I love @sfurino.bsky.social's passion for systems and how we can codify service expectations to ensure customer happiness (my paraphrasing, don't @ Sal).

watching the world literally making itself dumber for the sake of the grift

call it what it is... another grift in a long line of grifts perpetrated by SV and VC

There is exactly one successful project that I know of where the founders shacked up in a flat to get it out the door. Everyone else supporting this behavior is a fraud.

As someone who runs a tech conference, I'm just going to say this is stupid (and cruel) as fuck on so many levels. Fuck everything about the monsters in charge of US policy right now.

All of the bitching and moaning (and sadly, even protesting) in the world won't matter if Fox & Friends (and company) are still filtering reality from the masses. Everyone *still* seems to be under the impression that we're drinking from the same firehose. WE'RE NOT.

This is Kegan. She has a broken leg and dislocated hip from being hit by a car. Even though she's in pain and can hardly move, her tail never stops wagging. You can help us cover her much needed surgery and support her recovery below ❤️‍🩹 15outof10.org/kegan

Not enough attention is being given to the fact that SEC lawyers cannot even open an *investigation* now without clearance from Republican political appointees.

Goddamn. @wired.com keeps going so f'ing hard right now. www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

Walked into Denim Coffee in Carlisle PA and asked for a flat white. Barista/cashier flat-out told me no. Didn't even offer to try. First time I've ever heard that at a legit coffee shop. /shrug #coffeesky

tfw you're doing your floor exercises and grab a rough-sawn table leg and get a s̵p̵l̵i̵n̵t̵e̵r̵ chunk of wood embedded in your cuticle solid analogy for us politics rn

Remember when blogs were just blogs and not "newsletters" that you had to hunt and click through popups to read?

This is an absolutely astonishing report. DOGE did a complete takeover of CFPB’s systems at the root. This is identical to worst case scenarios for the most devastating cyberattacks by foreign actors, only this is an *internal* threat

AI investments are forecast to reach $200 billion this year, developing tools in programming languages like Python (< 35 years of evolution) to augment modern computing systems (< 80 years of evolution) designed by humans with brains that have evolved over 300,000 years.
