My "All postmortems are blameless, but this one is especially so" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Very cool! Have fun!

It’s so badass to admit you got something wrong.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

Grok, will it blend? Grok, is it cake?

Really wishing this headline were more literal

/8 I am a very stupid man

An evolution in the "franchise post-credits scenes" trend that I think I'd actually enjoy quite a bit would be brief behind-the-scenes featurettes for movies currently in development.

Now that artsy auteur vampire films are in vogue, I'd really like to see Timothy Chalamet, Michael Fassbender, and Austin Butler as vampires. (I haven't seen Blood Creek, but I'm guessing it's not what I'm hoping for.)

There are a lot of plot threads in Rocky Horror. Did Meatloaf ever figure out what happened to Saturday night?

This feels like a pretty big deal to me. I'm very glad to see the Reference remove its explicit caveats about being "non-normative." github.com/rust-lang/re...

Remember when a Black woman wrote a personal essay about OutKast and a magazine inexplicably hired some white guy to read it? I think about it twice a week. Really goes for it with GUSTO!

This Kant quote applies pretty well to software development: > It is, indeed, the common fate of human reason in speculation, to finish the imposing edifice of thought as rapidly as possible, and then for the first time to begin to examine whether the foundation is a solid one or no...

"this guy was an expert on the law, but did not understand professional wrestling" would be a great tombstone epitaph.

Checking the Signal to noise ratio is still a manual feature

Phishing isn’t new, and it’s not a flaw in our encryption or any of Signal’s underlying technology. Phishing attacks are a constant threat for popular apps and websites. 4/

It would be really annoying to have your product go viral for something like this. Especially if it's one of the better tools for people to communicate without government surveillance atm

I have discovered a truly remarkable plan to reform the healthcare system, but this margin is too small to contain it

In general what you often care about is the series of decisions that led to that function being called. Call stacks tell you that, but only to the extent that your program is structured in that manner.

Contrary to popular belief, there are only four kinds of bats.

Too bad, if you can't prove you're getting your daily dose of differing perspectives you're going to be given a mandatory subscription to The Atlantic

of all the pictures I ever created, this was the one that was the most popular on Twitter LOL

I find extraterrestrial abductions highly inapprobe-riate.

Don't just gainsay; gainstrive.

Whereas Netflix, Disney, et al have transitioned from physical media to streaming, RedBox has apparently opted to comment on the streaming industry itself

I only just realized that the Dresden Files and Dresden Codak are completely separate and unrelated franchises, and that the former is a series of novels rather than a webcomic.

Hipsters say they're against imperialism and then drink imperial IPAs, smdh

I would really love to see this set become a reality: ideas.lego.com/s/p:10a3239f...

Nosferautism Is this anything

History is written by the victor, historical fiction is written by the Victor Hugo

An absolutely amazing bit. www.engadget.com/crowdstrike-...

I know I'm "an old" because I think all forms of audiovisual effects should be off by default. (Also, almost all notifications should be off by default.)

The ancient Greeks really thought ahead, picking letter names that are easy to understand over the phone

Funny that my results seem to be dominated by comic book film adaptations, but I'm reasonably happy with this.

pi = number of likes / number of reskeets

@why.bsky.team Would it be possible to have a feed that limits prolific followed posters to, say, 5% (per poster) of one's feed? I realize there are some obvious edge conditions depending on how many posters one follows and how quiet the quiet ones are.

C++ fans for much of the last decade

Oh jeeze. I hope their Patreon is successful enough to keep them afloat for years to come; The Hard Drive is some of the funniest satire I've seen on the internet.

A little Sunday morning hacking, curious what your quieter follows are up to?

@why.bsky.team Is there a way to build a feed that prioritizes skeets from followed users who skeet infrequently?

Alien Resurrection is *admirably* weird. It starts off weird and it gets so much weirder. It's the horniest Alien and it's not even the Aids-metaphor one where Ripley gets to actually have sex. It's clearly not the movie Joss Whedon wanted, but it's so much better than what he wanted.

Oh wow, I *just* got the Bluesky invite code from the email wait list, which I joined...pretty close to when they announced it, I think, actually.

What the fuck? I like long movies. But I have always believed they're better with intermissions. I even specifically asked the Lyric (years ago) why they didn't offer showtimes with intermissions! Why are Scorsese, his editor, and the distributors forcing theaters not to include intermissions?

A lot of my friends with Bluesky accounts still mostly post on Twitter because they get more engagement there. I get it. No judgment. But I urge again: It takes 5 seconds to copy and paste those posts here. If you do you will *build* that engagement and make it easier for people to quit Twitter.
