hard to argue this was satire these days

overthrowing govs, sending people to detention facilities for torture, cutting taxes for the rich, slashing social spending for the poor, increasing military spending, promoting christian nationalism, demonizing gays, surveilling citizens under "national security." same old GOP.

“Bernie Sanders swears in Democratic Socialist NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani on a Quran” is a hell of a good start to 2026

Happy New Year!

Having young kids that randomly dribble and drop cups off tables…this is my life

Thinking back on 2025 I think the most surprising development is that I bought a Prius and love driving it. The plug-in 2025 model is a great family car for errands around town. Basically an electric car. Modern electronics. Comfortable. Looks great.

I hope to one day be worthy

Such a huge feature for anybody stuck with all of their lifetime personal data and comms behind a regrettable email created when they were 13 or younger

@davidpierce.xyz @vicmsong.bsky.social small detail to add to the great AIM episode: Facebook corporate literally ran on AIM for a good long while. We also had IRC for engineers but the default 1:1 internal messenger was originally AIM and then eventually we switched to Chat/Messenger.

political media on all sides is defined by disdain for its audience. “liberal” media believes that its audience is too insular and must be confronted with opposing views. conservative media just feeds its audience propaganda slop.

We have firmly reached the “everybody in the house is sick and unwilling to do anything” phase

Very sad news. I have a RadRunner and RadWagon and they’re great bikes.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Christmas Music when I was a kid: Mom put the best xmas album ever made on the record player and let it play to the end. For my kid: She puts her NFC-enabled Santa Tonie on her Internet music box. It starts playing cloud-downloaded MP3s that Dad made by using yt-dlp on Christmas YouTube songs.

For me this will always be Borat opening weekend in a packed theater.

The feature I still miss the most from driving a Tesla is pre-warming/cooling the car from my phone before a drive. It works perfectly and is such a quality of life boost. Toyota remote control is a joke compared to this single piece of functionality.

It’s easy to say oh what a dumb move but since the META rebrand the stock price is up 97% so tbh I doubt they give a shit about $77B of investments that haven’t directly panned out (yet).

When you get the new @atp.fm episode push and know exactly what it’s about

Every parent-whos-young-kid-doesnt-have-their-own-Spotify’s wrapped

Ranking star wars movies is complicated because there are certain themes that resonate with-- no I'm kidding, in one of them an ewok hugs Han Solo's leg and says "Ay Chihuahua." So that's number one with a bullet

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

“Arc Raiders” more like “fuck! Raiders!”

This is kind of a wild photo. It’s only from 2009! The iPhone had been out for two years already!

If you elect me President I commit to outlawing that thing where you copy a share link and the service tacks on extra marketing text that you now have to delete instead of just giving you the damn url.

Incredible that the top/last email in Epstein’s inbox was the Quora weekly digest

As an iPhone / Pixel family this is awesome

If a company I worked for was talking with another company’s CEO and they openly called one of our employees “piggy” it would be the end of that relationship forever + we’d spread the word far and wide. So many things bad about him and those he enables but basic human decency can’t be tossed away.

I hope one day we invent the technology to line up all the chase logos on cards in Apple Wallet

The Steam Machine throws such a wrench into my long-term plans with the PlayStation platform. We’re going to pick one up immediately and bring in our whole Steam libraries, so I feel like I should stop buying games/long term subs on PS5 soon.

Silicon Valley, 1990s: Free and open access to all the world’s knowledge will usher a new utopian age of information! Silicon Valley, 2025:

The difference between packing for a trip with two adults and two kids vs a trip for a single adult is just so comical. Feels like I’m wearing nothin at all!

I love the idea that Optimus is gonna sit next to the next SBF all day preventing him from doing a crypto ponzi scheme. “Excuse me sir you are about to violate securities law and must stop”

My neighbors hired a tree service to cut down two massive eucalyptus trees that were right on our property line and boy let me tell you this has been entertaining to watch all day. The guy who climbs up into a huge tree and by hand cuts it down piece by piece is such a badass

Truly hate this. Somebody dealing with their health insurance costs doubling will love to hear “yes this is going to ruin your family but remember that Republicans voted no on a senate procedural motion to prevent this eleven months ago” in October 2026. What a winning electoral message.

NOT NOW NOT EVER - dashare.zone ADMIN

democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up

Guy who never fights:

God the number of times I have been through this with the same damned bus of clowns in the senate. They need to go.

Love progressives, hate the Democratic Party. Truly the worst possible people to be the opposition party at this time for our country.

“Fuck it, who cares” is replacing “Insanely great” as Apple’s design mantra for software.” - @gruber.foo onefoottsunami.com/2025/11/05/t...

Still bonkers to have this level of connectivity walking on some random street, on a phone, not hardwired

Oh no they’re coming after my beautiful boy

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Incredibly happy for everybody in NYC tonight, even the dumbass billionaires. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s win will make the city better for everybody and hopefully be a progressive model for the rest of the country. It won’t be easy and will be fought every step of the way but tonight is good.

Great obit for a true monster: “Cheney got luckier than most American right-wingers could ever dream. Fanatics with brown skin crashed airliners into the WTC & Pentagon, at a time when Cheney for all practical purposes ran the most lethal death-dealing apparatus in the history of the world.”

This new Simpsons Fortnite mini season is great because I keep getting to show clips to my wife to explain jokes in-game. “Oh this is the cardboard box factory” “the what?” (Loads up YouTube)

I don’t understand why the default logged out view for Twitter account is now “show some random old tweets, not the most recent ones”

“Mini beef patties with ketchup glaze” is 100% toddler food

I’m gonna delete so many tailscale docker sidecars thanks to this feature.
