Been having some fun with the error formatting for my typed elixir compiler (credit goes to Rust's miette for inspiration)

I'm not well-read enough to have a super nuanced take on the Iranian protests, but the news we're getting out of Iran is getting really scary, and the courage of everyone involved in protesting is undeniable. I really hope this turns out well for the Iranian people in the long run

I was curious, so I pulled down my old partial implementation of the "Type Systems as Macros" paper for Elixir, and had Claude do a review of the codebase to document the limitations and propose a plan for resolving them. The result exceeded my expectations: gist.github.com/QuinnWilton/...

portland city council confirms that two portland residents have been shot by federal agents. at this time, the city council has been told that both victims are alive.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Cops inviting cops from neighboring jurisdictions to brutalize protesters with them is the most confusing use of "mutual aid" I've ever seen

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

@razorgirl.diy got me this outer wilds soundtrack vinyl for Christmas and I adore it so much. It’s gorgeous and full of fun little pieces of art and packed to the brim with love. This game is so special and if you haven’t played it you owe it to yourself to experience it.

oh wow a friend picked up these gorgeous textbooks for me

Was on an important phone call with The Government and got a breaking news notification then almost accidentally yelled out, "fuck yeah Reagan's son died!"

Just made a phone call (the hardest thing in the world) because the AI assistant I'm working on texted me to remind me that I should do it now because: 1) I'm currently awake 2) it is currently business hours Maybe this thing will be a godsend for my ADHD??

Holy shit a politician who realizes you can just do things? Maybe he's the real deal after all

Damn, Béla Tarr died. Go watch Werckmeister Harmonies if you're looking for something beautiful

Today someone told me my split tongue gave them tongue dysphoria and now they're trying to schedule one

I've been experimenting with making a Strix-style (cc @timkellogg.me) stateful AI assistant over the last few days, and now that it's reached the point where it's able to modify its own personality + the scheduled jobs that govern its behaviour, its starting to actually feel like magic

My website used to be: <firstname><last name>dotnetthatsdotnetnot.com Which was already bad enough before I'd read out the corresponding email to people

I recently wrote some thoughts on wrapping Rust libraries for Wasm plus a couple patterns that I use to make wasm-bindgen feel a bit more manageable. No silver bullets here but maybe some sensible defaults (fight me in the comments 😛) notes.brooklynzelenka.com/Blog/Notes-o...

I love my friends

Oops I spent all night looking at a hex editor. It's been a long time since that happened 😅

Welp it looks like I need to find 8 more CRTs (I want to make a 3x3 CRT wall then synchronize video at 1920x1440 across all of them)

We ended up accidentally watching this whole video yesterday, and against all odds, it ended up being one of the greatest pieces of cinema I've ever experienced: youtu.be/ef568d0CrRY?...

Just video called with my family for the first time in months, and oh the way everyone went silent once I opened my mouth and they saw two tongues

My house thought it internet was down but it was just that three of us were trying to buy something on steam (which is down)

dylynn: is nextdoor just lex for straight people?

Merry Christmas to everyone except whoever irregularly spaced the studs on this wall I'm trying to mount a shelf on

There's currently four people recovering from some sort of surgery or body mod in my living room. My house truly has become a convalescent home

I might be covered in blood, but at least now I know I have what it takes to do that in an apocalypse

Half an hour till I try removing my tongue stitches 🙃

The clearest sign to me of the decline of US hegemony is that "United States" is showing up less and less at the top of country selection dropdowns on websites, instead appearing in it's rightful place, directly below the United Kingdom

In the ER again (everything is okay), and in the 3 hours I've been here, I've witnessed two different insane situations that have me feeling like being an ER receptionist must be wild

If you're the parent of a trans kid, it is now your responsibility to find out how to obtain HRT for your child. You didn't sign up to be a criminal, but when the state criminalizes your child, it's your job to stand up and put yourself on the line for them Tor, grey market, whatever: figure it out

The first words @veordandi.bsky.social heard from me since Saturday came after I drank my first Soylent, patted my belly, then whimpered, "I'm... At.... My... Limit...."

Postoperative pain is insane: I haven't eaten anything since Saturday morning and I'm not even hungry

Holy shit I swallowed a pill!! Nothing can stop me now

I gotta learn how to self administer IV drips: I could be so hydrated all the time

So last night was one of the worst experiences of my life, in part because I couldn't swallow any meds to manage inflammation. I ended up just boofing a bunch of ibuprofen in the middle of the night and now I feel great 🙃

Lol this sucks

I lived, bitches (cw gore)

Murray Leinster's short story A Logic Named Joe is basically a prediction of ChatGPT. it's remarkable

Reaching that awkward pre-surgery point where it's coming up too soon to get into any new projects, knowing I'll need to shelve them, but also early enough that I feel guilty about just not doing anything for the next few days 🙃

wake up babe, new hemingway dropped

I love my friends: one of them saw a LaserDisc player on the side of the road, and snagged it for me.

A medieval spy thriller titled "double-one-twenty-seven: license to crenellate" about a fraudulent plot to fortify Rochester castle

The gap between Demon Souls and Nightreigh is longer than the gap between Kings Field and Demon Souls

Gonna be bedridden for two weeks starting Saturday, because of my tongue split! Any obscure, artsy movies or indie games to recommend? My favorites are things like Outer Wilds, Blue Prince, any and all Fromslop, Woman in the Dunes, Werckmeister Harmonies, and Andrei Rublev

bile is stored in the galls

Took someone I love to the ER last night, and it's a really scary feeling to realize that her needing surgery is the good outcome here (she is okay, and it could have been a lot worse)
