Two more weeks to some time off. My brain is slowing down preparing for that time off. It always happens at year end. 😀

I’m outside putting up Christmas decorations and it’s cold, 35F (2C), but I really am enjoying it. I’ll take this over 80F with 80% humidity any day. It reminds me of being a kid in the San Joaquin Valley of California on days with dense Tule fog.

Not feeling it today. Just sitting here staring at Xcode and it's not writing any code for me. I feel like I'm so close to completing my first release of Stream for Mac. I just need a little push to get it out the door. It's just one of those days, they happen.

Finally got a little snow. ❄️

I had coffee with my daughter this morning. She turned me into a bear. 🐻

I really love my doctor. This is on their restroom door.

Yeah, I'm ready for a few days off. Love me some Thanksgiving. 🦃🥧

Could one of you billionaires out there hand me a couple million bucks so I can go do whatever I want for however long I have to live? Thanks, appreciate it.

It's 2025 and I'm still typing 'pod install' for a particular project. 🤣

This administration doesn't believe in laws.

Pretty sure humans have been having DNS trouble before the advent of AI. IIRC, cave paintings were post-mortems of DNS outages.

Did someone use an AI to change a DNS entry or something? First Cloudflare, now Github? 🤨

I want to go back to bed, under a nice warm blanket.

I've listened to this album too many times to count. It's very good. album.link/mkk0z0kztg6d6

Just watched Frankenstein. For the third time. 😁

Blowing leaves outta the yard today. It looks nice. Wind: Hello, Rob. I see your yard is missing leaves. Let me fix that. 💨🍂

If you've seen the new Frankenstein how many of you recognized the recycled Crimson Peak set? 😀

Yep

Unbelievable. Senate Dems, they're laughing at you.

Just finished watching Frankenstein. I thought it was really great. 👍🏼

The greediest mfer on the planet. He's also a pos nazi.

Whoops, I'm a little early.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

No argument here — Trump IS a moron.

Release the Trumpstein PedoFILES NOW!

Here we go.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Let a million takes blossom.

Is this framework TypeScript that allows you to do UI in ThpeScript but everything else in Swift or Kotlin or name your language? It's interesting and I need to learn more. github.com/Snapchat/Valdi

As seen in our company Slack. 🤣 "I have a Teams meeting in a few hours, so I better start logging in now."

There's still some love in the world. "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." - Matthew 25:40, NIV I know the GOP'ers like to quote the bible. Maybe they should read and study it instead.

I click links to articles I may find interesting only to find the domain is hosted on Substack. Yes, I still link to some folks there, but most of the time I just close the browser tab. Publishers, please, get off of Substack.

Today has been one of those days that lasts forever. Don't know why. I have work to do and I'm doing it, but it's just dragging on. Maybe it's because I'm tired? 🥱

This looks so pathetic. Why change a beautiful building into a Vegas strip casino? I can't wait for 1/20/29 to get here so someone can remove all this horrible shit.

It looks like Democrats in the House and Senate are getting into the troll game. “Thank you for your attention to this matter” 🤣 It’s nice to see all of Marmalade Messiah’s lies met with humor.

I just can’t. 🤣 Newsom’s troll game is tops.
