Break them

Obviously, I am going to be a jerk about this … but as bad as it is that Trump lost a war, lit billions of taxpayer money on fire, killed a bunch of kids, and left Iran in control of a strategic choke point … at least he’s quitting while he’s behind.

Man, this is so, so true. And there’s a serious lack of mental health pros that have adequate background to help here. I had amazing care when I got sick, but the mental struggle during/after is VERY real.

Are the new 250,000 jobs for people to fix everything AI will inevitably fuck up?

So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

Dubas is somehow gonna get credit for this.

And it’s only going to keep worse as real UX designers and professionals get sidelined for drag and drop or generative nonsense.

THAT'S RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS, I WON A WEBBY AWARD. Here's my 5-word speech. #webbys

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

Hobbies are good. I forgot how much I like my recurve and how satisfying the THWAP of paper targets is. Archery is basically just yoga with projectiles. Nice to get back to it after so long away.

Man, I am super bad at getting old. I know I need my readers for stuff everywhere, but they’re always sitting in the same place: living room, where I never need them.

“You work on computers, you probably have all sorts of high-tech hobbies.” Oh haha no. No. Good god no.

Goodbye, get lost, and we'll see you soon.

"Bluesky will never be Twitter." Then how come I look at it every morning and it makes me sad, hmm? Explain that.

Nothing like having to toggle between a bunch of apps while watching two basketball games to remind you that technology is perfect and the people who make it have our best interests at heart.

Definitely hitting peak cabin fever. My office and living room look like an outdoor sporting goods shop.

I have a shiny dime for whoever can tell me what the eff @hbomax.bsky.social did to their app to make streaming sports unwatchable? I thought maybe it was the NCAA tournament but NHL godawful. Fix your crap, HBO.

On this and every Good Friday, don’t forget to leave milk and cookies out for the members of Better Than Ezra.

NEW SIDEQUEST UNLOCKED.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if the NCAA tournament on HBO Max is streaming like hot trash, turn off the Dolby Atmos on your tv.

If bluesky is an echo chamber then why am I forced to mute so many of you annoying dumbasses?

if you actually enjoy getting mad about shit you already knew there is a person you can talk to about that and often their fee is at least partially covered by insurance if you have insurance.

just a reminder that you already know everything you need to know about the state of the union and unless you will enjoy watching it there's a million other things you can do. you don't have to be "in the loop." the loop is a trash place to be tbh

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

In a world of useless upgrades, this is a serious plus-up. We love Bandcamp!

I get one (1) Procrastination Point for finally ordering the bowstring I’ve been meaning to order for like a month.

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

AI Chatbot That Only Responds ‘Huh’ Valued At $200 Billion

loot does not drop upon defeating me. the developers didn't expect anyone to attack me, i am so vulnerable, and only trying to help. why did you raise your sword? for material gain? i would give you anything i have if you had only asked. i did not ask to be in this game, i did not ask to have 6hp.

it’s true that manic consumer culture buying sprees probably point to a gnawing fear of engaging the spirit, whose demands are rigorous and whose rewards would require us to acknowledge our eternal indwelling self-worth, but on the other hand did you see how much cool stuff I have

literally every day, all the time now.

Three little lemon pigs that a couple work pals and I put together as we were running out the last hours of the day in our mostly empty office.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Puh-LEEEZE let this air in the US. thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/the-great-pe...

This performance kicked ass. Would super love to see this on tour. Bring Tommy too!

whoever is writing reality lately is really getting heavy-handed with it. no subtlety at all

A story in 3 acts

Wait wait wait wait wait. A HOLIDAY Bake Off special? A HOLIDAY Bake Off that is PEEP SHOW themed? Featuring the cast (minus Webb)? I am so in.

Fine, I’ll do a holiday. I get to bring the soundtrack.

Thank you.

Welcome to Day One of #whamageddon

If you enjoy a gong at the symphony, you’re gonna love Giant Goddamn Mallet.

when contemplating whether to participate in news cycle chatter* it's good to ask "might I more fruitfully spend my keystrokes reminding people that wolves are cool and badass" *not gonna call it "discourse" I'm reclaiming discourse for undergrad semioticians

Ooooh. It’s a @themountaingoats.bsky.social mail day.

I renew my request that you all stop showing me the worst people in the world morning, noon, and night.

this guy was right five years ago
