There's hockey on my computer screen.

If an FCC license requires strict adherence to a party line and to never criticize the government, then it wasn't worth having to begin with. That's not a license, it's a leash.

Wow, they already have signs up ... from 80 years ago.

UT Martin didn't win their game against Oklahoma State last night, but did get: - #2 on SportsCenter's Top 10 for a double-pass trick play for a touchdown - $450,000 for their trouble Not a bad business trip. https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/46099508/country/us/redirected/ios-app%3A

Would the roll-out of AI agents look any different if it were planned sabotage?

What I love about baseball is that every time something exceedingly strange happens, like a game ending on a walk-off because of catcher's interference, and I think, "That *has* to be the first time that's ever happened," ... some stat nerd can pull up with, "Nope, last happened in August of 1974."

The absolute funniest shit is the cybersecurity consultants who are trying to advertise they would have stopped a startup CEO from going to a sold out show with a side piece My sibling in Cthulhu, you wouldn’t stop them hiring an escort on their work laptop with admin rights and AV removed

Got fourth place in this year's YASNIs, so that's neat. https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/coverstory/yasni-2025/article_c36d3c91-c770-4fd4-a200-e5c3517770b7.html As I did last year, I'm sharing the ones I submitted that *didn't* get picked: 5.) Memo to Chief Drake: It's "To Protect and To […]

E-ink makers assemble! @trmnl 🤝 @adafruit I built a TRMNL plugin that will read data from the Adafruit IO API and chart it to your dashboard. 📈 Source code: https://github.com/stephenyeargin/trmnl-adafruit-io Install: https://usetrmnl.com/recipes/112643

For the last month or so, I've been building a handful of plugins for my @trmnl and decided to give them a proper landing page. 🖼️ https://trmnl.stephenyeargin.dev/

The new M.L. Rose location in Inglewood opens Monday, July 14. 🍔🍻 It's within a (longer) walk from our house, so that'll be nice. I know they've started to feel way more corporate since their days as Melrose Bar, but I think it'll be a great addition to the […] [Original post on social.yearg.in]

I don't have rooting interests in any of them, but the following recent sportsball championships were all kind of a letdown. * NHL - Would have liked the Canadian team to finally win after 30+ years; Florida won last year over same team * MCWS - Directional state school winning it all would […]

Sometimes I wonder if our bombs have "best if used by" dates on them, and we figure it'd be a shame for them to go to waste.

Ha, Disney made a movie about a kid desperate to get away from earth. <looks at the news> Oh, yeah, that checks out.

These two need a room with a couple of tiny rulers.

Living in the United States these days is looking around and repeating "It didn't have to be this way" over and over and over again.

Next, I built one that shows the pollen count and air quality from data.nashville.gov. Admittedly, this one is not as useful because there are better ones out there already.

Got a @trmnl this week and immediately took to building stuff for it. First up: show the next bus going by a particular stop. https://trmnl.stephenyeargin.dev/

The most useless button in all of social media. Clicking it has no effect on what they shove in your newsfeed. I'd wager it isn't even wired up to anything at all.

They're gonna name it and leave MIDIval sitting right there, eh? https://teenage.engineering/store/medieval-quest-kit

Tariffs come, tariffs go ... but the incompetence required to impose them in the first place is forever.

The Chicago Blackhawks are now closer to the papacy than they are a Stanley Cup.

The real concern with LLMs in software engineering isn’t just the threat of job loss -- It’s the misconception from management that engineers are assembly-line workers, not problem solvers often inventing solutions from scratch. That every Jira ticket filed requires no logical reasoning to […]

Bluesky doesn't support auto-deleting posts, so I wrote a script that can be run as a GitHub Action to do just that. https://github.com/stephenyeargin/bskycleanup

Look, stock photos can be pricey and hiring a decent product photographer (particularly one that does food well) can be even more expensive. I get it. But letting some AI model come up with a 5' wide pizza with 6" pepperonis on it for your restaurant and […] [Original post on social.yearg.in]

A man walks into a store, smashes a gadget on the shelf, then offers to buy it at a discount using money he brazenly swiped from the register moments before. He takes it home, sells the parts for profit, and repeats the cycle, applauded for his “entrepreneurial spirit.” The store raises prices […]

I was just served a LinkedIn ad for a ... yacht broker? Talk about a targeting fail. I don't have the budget for a mid-sized bass boat, much less a yacht. 🛶

With apologies to Hanlon, I posit that any sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from stupidity. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly22xm8kx1o

A man goes to a carnival and sees a ring toss game. It looks rigged, but he figures he has a 1 in 10 shot. He pays and gets a tiny ring that clearly won't fit. To prove it's fair, the owner throws a much larger ring and wins every time. The man doesn't come close. He stops playing. The barker […]

CEOs: We must use AI to make us more efficient, no exceptions. Also CEOs:

Don't wanna alarm anyone, but the stock tickers now require age verification because of certain state laws that prohibit anyone under the age of 18 seeing someone get f****d that hard.

Nashville Predators ('24-'25 season) playoff hopes died 9:41 CDT, March 27, 2025 with a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. Was hoping they'd push it out until at least mid April. ... But let's be real, this thing was over in November.

Today’s lawsuit filed by my colleagues alleges the U.S. government’s action to shut down the Voice of America is unlawful and unconstitutional, violates our freedom of speech and usurps Congressional control of the coffers. https://substack.com/home/post/p-159587402
