@scottsigler.bsky.social quite some time ago you recommended that if someone was interested in a sport, they should pick a team to follow, to provide an emotional connection. Thanks to that advice, I started watching the Seahawks with the pre-season of 2013 (a fortuitous beginning that was!)

Had an incredible time at Lumen Field watching the #Seahawks win the #NFCChampionship and got to meet many great fans and share it with them. Very lucky and privileged to be here for it.

Remember. If you don't know which person in your friend group is possessed by an ancient and nameless cosmic horror, it's probably you.

I don't know anything about D. H. Lawrence's writing, but his delivery company is a joke.

it should be more acceptable to just go up to someone and say “i think we are the same kind of nerd and we should be friends”

How are new countries formed? Well, sometimes when a motherland and a fatherland hate each other very much, they go to war...

My son put it best when he was a young kid: "Cats are great because you get happy every time you encounter them. You turn a corner, and there's a cat there, and it's like there's a cat, and that's great." I always think about it whenever I turn a corner and encounter a cat.

You can't use generative AI ethically because it's built on stolen work.

Borrowed with love from Mastodon:

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
