The No ICE in Minnesota Charity Bundle has officially LAUNCHED! There are 1,439 games to discover for a $10+ donation to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota! Purchase the bundle here: itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

The No ICE in Minnesota is a fantastic deal. Lots of good video games and lots of physical games (TTRPG, etc) too! itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

@leafo.itch.io can you add sort by popularity to the games in a bundle? It feels like it would help charity bundles sell much better if people could see the popular games front and center. e.g. itch.io/b/3484/no-ice-…

A complete list of people who are my lil boo thang: you.

Weird that the battle of Naboo took place on the Windows XP wallpaper.

Only fools are enslaved by time and space

My daughter eats spaghetti like Will Smith in the original AI video. She’s 11.

We all got a chicken-duck-woman thing waiting for us

You should be able to text birds. (Do not @ me with twitter jokes)

Boyz II Men’s manager desperately watching Benjamin Button for the three hundredth time trying to unlock the secret to make Men II Boyz possible.

My daughter woke me up at 2am to ask me if I had any advice for sleeping. I did not reply, “never have kids,” so I expect my Father of the Year award any day now.

You know hypnosis isn't real because so many people would get "The Office Space"

I've had to work in the house today instead of my office and one of our cats keeps walking into the room I'm in and meowing at me to make sure I know I'm not supposed to be here. Thanks, freeloader!

I play d&d but one of my favorite things to do is walk up to people in the d&d section at Barnes and Noble and say, “Awh, hell yeah, y’all into pretending?”

Hopping on a video call remains the undefeated champion of solving talking-past-people, divining tone, and understanding exactly how passionate someone is about something. Plain text is great for many things, but a face and voice still win. We're still humans behind these screens.

I finally built the workflow in Kitty terminal that I’d been doing in tmux for forever. Feels a little snappier. I’ll always love tmux. Thanks for all the years. ❤️

Writing is thinking.

My seven-year old, crying before 9am: I’m having an unhappy New Year

My parent’s dog barks every time the doorbell rings. My dad has a plan to ring the doorbell incessantly until the dog is desensitized. Pavlov would be amused.

I gained a few pounds and was trying not to beat myself up about it, but my doctor keeps asking if I've recently scared Santa off a roof and put on his coat.

How did Google I/O 2013 end up in my calendar for tomorrow? Genuinely baffled.

This is your annual reminder that Sufjan Stevens' "Sister Winter" exists and is perhaps the best Christmas song for the current mood sufjanstevens.bandcamp.com/track/sister...

Pretty wild that in some alternate reality, Grimes could have saved America.

The Get Up Kids on KEXP?! 😮 Looks like 2024 still has a little more to give. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-XU... cc @jayroh.bsky.social

YESSSSSS. This series is so good, folks. The end of the first series (the fifth of a planned 10 books) comes out in December so now is a very good time to hop on board.

“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” ― William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure Meshes well with this Aaron Francis article: aaronfrancis.com/2024/what-if...

My 6-year-old and 10-year-old send me messages from their iPads. I love it. Samuel (6) knows I like music so he sends me songs. They started off about what you'd expect but he's really dialed me in and is _nailing it_ now. This is the latest: music.apple.com/us/album/sky...

I feel like I've slept on JSON Schema. Being able to get LSP-powered intellisense, validation, and documentation in JSON is powerful. This is one of those things where you start using it and wonder how you lived without it. json-schema.org/overview/wha...

“In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

Heads-up: good and timely free ebooks here www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/517-te... Currently reading "Let this Radicalize You"

Now is a good time to try to draw whatever comfort you can from simple pleasures. Please share yours. Here’s one: sweet potato wedges. They have no right being that delicious for the low number of calories and the low prep effort. Wash, cut, splash of oil, add basic dry spices, and cook.

Alright. Let’s give this another try.

fx is a fantastic tool for exploring and wrangling JSON. But is it better than jq? IMHO, yes! Come along and learn why :) youtu.be/I43vfzx7QUk I'll be trying to post a number of quick videos of helpful tools this year. Like and subscribe and all that jazz 😅

I'm excited about language servers. Language servers let you meet developers where they are: their editor. I wrote a Hands-On LSP Tutorial: Building a Custom Auto-Complete. More to come! www.prefab.cloud/blog/lsp-lan...

I loathe ChatGPT-generated posts. There's so much insincere fluff that they're exhausting to read. It reminds me a lot of recipe blogs (oops, all darlings). Use ChatGPT for ideation, sure, but write it yourself. Then kill your darlings.

Wouldn't it be great if you could log all of the gory details of a request, but only if it fails? This question lead me to write "Time-traveling Ruby Logger": https://www.prefab.cloud/blog/ruby-logging-time-travel/ Are you doing anything wacky or cool in the logging space?
