It was a running gag in TV/ movies if it was time to "find a gas station" and the couple in the car arguing about it

i've made two pretty great imho summer dinners the last two nights

I've had a really weird bsky bug for weeks. Every single time I open the app, it opens to this post. Every time. Doesn't matter if I force close the app or restart my phone.

I'm gonna say it too. Pack the court.

This is the energy I'll vote for

Take your country's huge head start in the most powerful technology *ever* and destroy it The most chaotic economic self-sabotage in human history.

Without fail: Spent yesterday at the beach. App crashed. Took down the marketing site too.

But really why do people like Red Hot Chili Peppers The most mediocre music hyped to oblivion. Is it the original meme stock? Nobody actually likes it?

Damn man these things are just like people. Wild.

Extremely cringe when anybody acts this way online Worse when it's a big account. Really bothers me. Can we all act like adults? This is why the internet is a cesspool.

Why is polymarket legal?

I don't get posts like this. Almost like they're justifying it to themselves. For me there's no justification for using X / Twitter because of who the owner is. "I want to have fun internet conversations" shouldn't outweigh Elon Musk owning the platform where you're doing it.

Guys this is by far the scariest thing happening. Trump is funding leaders of a private army of with taxpayer money. It's a turning point in history. Can't turn back from this one. It should be a pitchforks out moment. Stop all government. Block trains. Barricade doors. Do not let it happen.

Lots of butter content today

Winner of carbrain of the year award here.

I'm seeing pretty non-technical people building software for use at work using AI. Cool that everybody is empowered to do stuff like this but really worried about security and broken processes. AI vibe coded software works great out of the gate, but somewhat cumbersome in the medium to long term.

It's my patriotic duty to like Matt's post every day

Cola Capri sun

Why, France? Why?

Remember the old Nokia phones? Everything comes full circle. My parents had one of those for 10+ years. Got it when I was in high school as the "family cell phone" and my parents still used well into the 2000s.

Not exactly a great sign that the vibe coding experts at Claude have this many outages on their own platform. In the "old days" a SaaS with this many outages would've been toast.

Guys this is what the opposition in the US needs to be doing. Go for the kill on literally every issue.

Has Duolingo completely gone to shit for anybody else recently? Screens don't work, translations are wrong, and bugs drop my progress repeatedly. Today I can't finish any lessons because all the buttons disappear randomly.

Clay is all the rage in sales and marketing right now but wowwww I've heard some absolutely bonkers numbers people are spending on it monthly.

This "ebikes are getting out of hand" stupidity is like reefer madness. I have some small quibbles with scooters because they accelerate way too fast, but ebikes none at all, and most people on escooters are just calmly going from A to B, but aren't in a 2k lb death machine. Still a win.

I live for shorts weather

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Crazy to me that so many people live their lives like this. Is this really the impact they want to have on the world? With how awful everything else is, why add to the bad vibes? Me: Casual observation about pastries Them: you're a dumbass bitch

Damn this is crazy I love Allbirds. Extremely comfortable and decent price. What happened???

This may be delicious but it's absolutely not a croissant

Had some whole, in-shell macadamia nuts today. Wow. Amazing. Changed my life.

Extreme French

This dude is clinging to life. He can barely sit in a chair.

From cart to bike—voilà

Montpellier's socialist, pro public transportation, pro bike infrastructure mayor Michael Delafosse was re-elected yesterday 🎉 The city has been aggressively adding bike infrastructure. As someone without a car, I approve!

I bought a Dell 4 years ago and returned it 2 days later. Absolute trash.

Translation humor My "assiette houmous" became ass hummus

I've been going deep with AI lately. It fills me with existential dread and excitement. I don't think most folks in tech, let alone outside of it, realize what a bloodbath this is going to be. I debate pivoting hard in my career all the time now. Should I be a farmer?

Honestly a fantastic point. I've spent literally thousands of hours in my career generating reports that have contributed to zero business decisions. Somebody I know once said "being great at data generation doesn't mean being great at data execution"

Canceled my chatgpt subscription and won't ever use it again

Why is everybody fighting about egg inflation? You're all being ridiculous.

Just had to call the French business administration about taxes. Whew. That was rough but I did it! The guy clearly spoke English but apparently they're not allowed to conduct calls in any language except French. Trial by fire.

There's an old NPR podcast episode with a bunch of Republicans basically saying "gerrymandering is fine" I remember one quote where the interviewer asks if it's fair, and the Republican says "yes, to the victor goes the spoils!" Need to go find that episode.

Most stuff is closed on Sundays in France, but my local grocery store is open with self checkout only with only security guards running the whole operation. Needless up say, the place is absolute pandemonium from ~2pm to close. Floor was sticky as hell tonight. Pretty common state of things.

Psychopathic

Honestly amazing.

We need to take the term Trump Derangement Syndrome I propose this is the new definition: When republicans and supporters of the MAGA movement believe any lie that Donald Trump and his administration say even in the face over overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Will politicians please stop talking with passive language like this? It's just cowardly at this point. JFC

Just joined the club Block ICE

It's like buying a pawned Olympic medal
