In college, I often covered the student government association for the campus newspaper. I found many of them to be some of the most self-righteous, petty try-hards I had ever met, with the political instincts of a toddler. They threw massive tantrums the […] [Original post on social.yearg.in]

When your Raspberry Pi's USB ports stop working (and you see how much it costs to get another one these days), might as well let @homeassistant run on its own hardware.

I'm convinced that Millennials exist solely to convince the world that GenX doesn't.

Tough decade this past week has been, eh?

A few roles are opening up at @flox that are worth your 👀 - Security Engineer - Solutions Engineer - Technical Product Marketing Lead https://flox.dev/careers/ #jobs

So we've gone from using tariffs being on again / off again to manipulate the markets to ... <checks notes> ceasefires. Got it.

At the rate CoreCivic is going, they'll be looking to change the name *back* to CCA because it has less baggage. https://wpln.org/post/trousdale-turner-correctional-center-inmate-dies/

RIP to the 2026-27 Nashville Predators. It wasn't always fun to watch, but there were at least more bright spots than last season. It's going to be a long summer. #predators #predsnhl #nhl

It seems ironic that the GitHub Arctic Code Vault has gone from a 🙄 PR stunt to perhaps the last snapshot of open source software before the deluge of AI slop. 🤖 https://archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/

I don't know if we'll ever make true progress in the United States until the brains addled by the put-lead-in-gasoline-paint-and-water era aren't the ones making decisions.

AI : actual problems :: electrolytes : what plants crave

Watching a company that rushed to go "all in" on adding AI features to its SaaS suddenly hype the non-AI portions as the real selling point -- because it turns out their customers could replace that SaaS with their own AI workflows for cheaper. 🍿

Very glad that the #artemis2 mission had a successful launch. The new generation launch vehicle program hasn't a terrific track record up to this point, so hoping their success continues.

Only appropriate response every time Lindsey Graham says the US should invade a country. You first, Senator.

Great start, but I'm sure the sharks would love to avenge this one with a similar comeback: https://www.espn.com/nhl/game/_/gameId/401688351/sharks-predators #predsnhl #nhl

I absolutely do not expect them to make the playoffs, but for this one shining moment, we can bask in the possibilities. #nhl #predators #predsnhl

For no particular reason, I'm reminded of this 🥇 ✊ ... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jun/27/megan-rapinoe-donald-trump-white-house #foreverrapinoe

In 1962, George Jetson was stressed about his job as a "digital index operator," which mostly meant pushing a button on a computer. Even in the future, The Jetsons suggested you can't fully automate away work. I think about that every time I click “Accept” or “Run Command” in my agentic IDE.

We should probably come to terms now that next year's halftime show will be a jar of mayo in a cowboy hat.

If the the Seahawks win the Super Bowl, it means the Patriots lose. So that's a good outcome. If the Patriots win, the biggest L goes to the Tennessee Titans ownership. So I am fine with that outcome too.

When somebody calls it "The I-65".

Since the coordinated smear campaign has started, a simple truth: Even people who commit the most heinous crimes imaginable shouldn't be extrajudicially murdered either. It isn't that hard to have that baseline of human decency. Or at least, it shouldn't be.

Every time the trees crack in #nashville, I'm wondering how much more it's adding to the total bill. 💸 Y'all be safe.

I believe ICE/DHS has reached the conclusion that they are so far down the road of wrong that they must go farther in an attempt to avoid any accountability.

If there's a litmus test for who I think should be leading Apple's design decisions, it is whether they think rearranging my home screen would _ever_ be a good idea. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/01/22/new-apple-ai-strategy-firms-up/

<sees Vrabel make AFC Championship game in year one> I dunno, Titans. Maybe it wasn't the coach's fault.

Think of how much worse things can get, and then realize there will still be someone bitching that "social media used to be less political."

Word of advice: If some bro country dipshit is on television, don't jokingly say, "I'll take a drink every time he mentions his truck." You'll die. 🪦

He did what now?

“They made kids wear Star Wars masks during a global pandemic!” is the most hilariously lame battle cry I’ve ever heard.

Today I learned ESPN thinks the massive construction project next to Nissan Stadium is merely a "proposal" and would somehow be ready a year earlier than actually scheduled. 🤨 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39395382/what-oldest-nfl-stadium-soldier-sofi-age

It had been bugging me for a while, but I finally figured out what looking at the administration's spokespeople reminded me of.

My 2025 "Who the hell are all these Bonnaroo bands?" graphic. I drew boxes around the acts I've (knowingly) heard at least one of their songs.

Why is it the nicer the house is, the less likely they are to pay for curtains or blinds? Did you blow all the money on the mortgage?

Somewhere in America, a grandmother will be spending the night in jail because she got in a fistfight over a knock-off Labubu.

Nope. It’s a healthy message that should be repeated often. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/its...

I have largely lost interest in football (college or professional), but Younger Stephen would be very satisifed to see the Volunteers kick the crap out of the Florida Gators. I was still in college the last time they won at The Swamp (2003).
