Oh hey, my ride’s here

Last week, we talked about some of our bigger contributions to foundations, but it's important to fund smaller projects as well. Here are some other folks we want to highlight... 🧵

buying all the stock in quoting The Lost Boys futures

"tell the people you love that you love them" 😘 @tailwindcss.com

Sentry gave $750k to over 650 OSS projects in 2025. Unfortunately, @tailwindcss.com wasn't one of them. We can't do this alone; more companies need to join @opensourcepledge.com, for the good of the internet.

You have no excuse for @tailwindcss.com.

overwhelmingly proud of this!

Man this guy really peaked with Ah Via Musicom

prospective Pledge co's: idk it's a lot of money, will it really help with recruiting? prospective employees:

watching Paul Graham become a Marxist from first principles is extremely funny

It's amazing how many corporations -- much less private individuals -- still believe they need to stay active on the white nationalist forum and CSAM generator. Sure, you may have succeeded in blocking yourself from seeing these things there, but all of us still see you there alongside those things

Tina Yothers, the recording artist?

counterpoint: Riff Raff has the best riff on any AC/DC track in any era

Brian Eno on heavy metal in an interview from the early 90s is the polar opposite of the Principal Skinner “no it’s the children who are wrong” meme

The best part of the Pluribus season finale is when Carol dropped this bomb. Absolute masterclass from Gilligan.

Most individual seasons by an MLB pitcher with 170+ plate appearances against him ending on the first pitch (1988-2025): 10 Greg Maddux 🤯 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 Tom Browning , Mark Gubicza, Jon Lieber, David Wells, Orel Hershiser 1 14 other pitchers

Good omen for 2026. Highwire is playing Prefab Sprout!

I’ve watched a loop of this for 12 minutes and it just gets better. The robot reaction is 😘👌

I’m from Whoville, and I say kill the Grinch!

@hollywoodsteve.bsky.social you gotta see this… you too @grantbrisbee.bsky.social (I bet you also heard my record back in the day)

HOLY SHIT Years ago, when vinyl was dirt cheap, I got Huey Lewis FORE! on clearance at Amoeba. It’s a promo copy, and in it, I just found a postcard to Alex Bennett OF LIVE 105! I remember hearing these songs on Live 105 as a kid. I REMEMBER HEARING THE RECORD I NOW OWN!!!

It’s Christmas time so we need to break out the lovely sounding and vaguely threatening Phil Spector album. Whatever happened to this guy any way?

Lara Flynn Boyle - 📽️ Red Rock West (John Dahl, 1994) Dahl’s neo-noir is one of the most memorable of the ‘90s for its western setting and its headliners—Boyle, plus fellow David Lynch alums Nicolas Cage and Dennis Hopper. The eternally underrated actress makes a terrific unpredictable femme fatale.

slumdog millionaire but it's about me at pub quiz night and all the flashbacks are just me reading entertainment weekly on the toilet from ages 10-13

Scott Spezio? The frontman of Sandfrog?

after Lee Robinson migrated cursor away from sanity.io and explained why, Knut Melvær, head of developer community at Sanity wrote this piece, which I think is eminently sensible. maintaining software is a pain in the ass, and there is a reason we have CMSs www.sanity.io/blog/you-sho...

When I interviewed Spinal Tap and Marty DiBergi this summer, none of them broke character, for the whole hour. Except Rob Reiner, once, losing it when Michael McKean's David St Hubbins talked about minimalism. I didn't use this in the feature and hadn't published any audio, but this is joyful.

First scene in his first movie, he parodies the self-regard of a hack director. And then in real life, he goes on this insane run: 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘐𝘴 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘯̈𝘢𝘭 𝘛𝘢𝘱. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘔𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘔𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺… 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘺. 𝘈 𝘍𝘦𝘸 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘯. In a row! To START his career! Not a dud in the bunch.

Today in “Dudes Rock”: A dude playing Dire Straits’s “Sultans of Swing” guitar solo on…a recorder.

very Drebin coded response

The Gyork Store called…

If you run a tech newsroom and fail to hire @cfarivar.bsky.social immediately, you are a dolt

listening to concrete blonde on headphones in the dark. perfect way to mourn the passing of another weekend

3yo picked this out as a Christmas gift for his great grandmother

Rare @retro-commercials.bsky.social and @peteandpete.bsky.social crossover episode

Nooooooo! An SF institution (and, trivia, the namesake for Anthropic’s Claude)

Jon Jay, Cub (jinglehiemerschmidt)

I have no interest in NFL football and even less in NCAA. So every few weeks of the season there’s some news and my timeline is full of people I’ve never heard of and context completely lost on me. “Chick Harnsley, coaching in the AAC lmao? He’d have better luck at Iowa St with Rarm Davis 😂 😂”

Actually doing Whamageddon at Christmas is a moral failing, you should be listening to Last Christmas at least once a day if not ten

npm is great but what if there was a better, more secure way. there is! @byk.im shows us.

T Rex!

This Thanksgiving, top your turkey with Cranberry sOSS to fund open source

It's ~Thanksgiving, so let's #thankthemaintainers together 🫂 First up, @magnushi.bsky.social, CEO of @sanity.io, with a special shout out to @citizenofnowhe.re, creator of @motion.dev Tell us what OSS project/maintainer you're thankful for, or show your support by buying some @CranberrysOSS.com 👀

I love this passage about the disease of collecting, from a quote in Do Not Sell At Any Price, Amanda Petrusich’s book about 78 record collectors. The core truth about this disease is not specific to just 78s, I have it for vinyl LPs, others for Pokémon, or, like Jack Donaghy, cookie jars
