Somebody left three quarters and a two-by-four on top of a USPS letter box on the street. I know I’m a man of comfortable means now, because I walked by without picking up either the 75 cents *or* the free lumber Either that, or inflation is out of control. Quarters are the new nickel ffs

prolly coulda just left it at "chlapec == boy" and called it a day

Legally defining the ass in a way that is somehow much hornier than just saying "the ass"

jaj, aký tučný pes :(

Today is the 81st anniversary of V-E Day, commemorating the surrender of Nazi Germany in May 1945. I’m taking a Slovak language class, and I recently learned that in Slovakia, the name of this holiday is „deň víťazstva nad fašizmom“. Happy Victory over Fascism Day!

Just checked the calendar… looks like Cinco de Mayo falls on May 5th this year

I love the fun surprise of seeing what inane bullshit Windows 11 will try to push on me every time it forcibly reboots the computer that I own to forcibly install new software that I didn't ask for. ...come to think of it, I don't think there's any compelling reason that I can't switch to Linux

I am compelled to use LLMs at work. So I prompted Claude Code to review my recent PRs and write a Baker-Keyhole essay about them. “A pull request description is a minor literary genre with a demanding brief.” “The sequence from #193 through #200 […] represents a kind of engineering Bildungsroman”

I just checked the Newgrounds account that I made when I was 13, and my Flash movies have accumulated over 180,000 views over the past *checks notes* 24 years I refuse to cringe at my younger self; 2002 was an incredible time to be on the internet and I regret nothing wasabimilkshake.newgrounds.com

An agent never thinks about his daddy, and an LLM never needs to write its name youtu.be/Rw6UN7ljFIU (2004)

The distance between answer and question has never purely been a problem. It's just a path. An ancient winding road. All but replaced by a shortcut we built. But that path remains. Quieter now. Half-faded. To walk it is to cross a breathing chasm, and it is in this chasm that wonder still blooms.

Absolutely horrifying 1940’s children’s book where you pull a girl’s tongue to ask eyeball riddles. And then open her brain door for answers lol

The Arms-Out JUMP-and-SLIDE is the hottest new dance craze of 2026

Reminder that it’s OK (and in fact, essential) to relax and find joy in your life even while terrible and deeply concerning shit is happening in the news. I don’t recommend trying to *indefinitely avoid* feeling whatever it makes you feel, but you’re still allowed to make room for other stuff

I dunno, uh… OvrHTvTJ? These CAPTCHAs are getting ridiculous

Can’t argue with that logic

What an organized people

In our modern, globalized (globalised) world, international travel can be underwhelming. You can fly across an ocean, and people still listen to the same music, watch the same movies, wear the same clothes, drive the same cars, and toil under the same system of neoliberal oligarchy…

These Englanders really have a hard-on for ominous spires

I had a dream that Zillow added a feature that let you dox corporate resellers

Oh hell yes

It’s scary to see the phone screen of the guy in front of you on the airport shuttle bus when he’s scrolling through YouTube and TikTok. Like, dude, *that’s* the content you’re being served? It’s basically just the trending page! Brother, you need to get some niche hobbies before you get radicalized

I bought the Resident Evil 4 remake (Steam sale on now!) expecting to get a quick nostalgia fix and lose interest, then I ended up playing it all weekend. I’m thoroughly impressed with what I’ve seen so far (at Ch. 11) - it manages to stay true to the original while feeling like a totally new game.

I’ve had the refrain from “Ohio” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young playing on repeat in my head for over a week now. I can’t imagine why!

Thank you, Google AI Summary; this is definitely a perfect replacement for our traditional means of accessing the world’s knowledge

Pillsbury Frost it Hot! (1987-1988): A line of boxed frosting mix made for use on cakes that were still hot, to save time. Pillsbury noted that the frostings, which came in Whipped Chocolate and Fluffy White, contained no fat or cholesterol, so they wouldn't melt when applied to a hot cake.

In 2026, I have next to zero hope that the nations, corporations, and institutions of the world will trend toward better versions of themselves, but I’m sure as shit gonna be trying to trend myself in that direction. Happy New Year, Auld Lang Syne and all that jazz

Every time I get a served a video ad for a "tactical hoodie," I think to myself that maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing if we blew up the world's internet infrastructure and plunged all of mankind into a new dark age

Whenever I interact with a server who’s a trans woman, the old-Southern-man part of my brain tries to convince me that casually calling her “hon” would be very progressive and gender-affirming of me, and then I have to gently remind that part of me that a weird-old-man ally is still a weird old man

I’m in an Uber on a dark, rainy morning, hurtling toward the airport on slick, misty roads, in a world where tablet computers are such a cheap commodity that there’s a screen attached to the headrest in front of me, serving really bright ads into my eyeballs for the benefit of Uber shareholders

"Nobody to challenge me. Nobody to exclude me. Nobody to trap me with expectation or accountability. Nobody to disappoint me. Nobody to disappoint. Nobody to make me feel shame or guilt. Nobody to tell me 'no'. No one. No one." They're selling you their own dreams, and it's the saddest grift.

I had a dream that Al Jolson died, and I felt conflicted about celebrating his life and legacy in the public sphere because most people just know him for being the single most famous blackface act in Hollywood history… but then I woke up and realized that Jolson has not, in fact, lived for 139 years

I've never been into Zachtronics-style games, and Kaizen has definitely been a slow burn, but it's hooked me. I'm so proud of my dogshit coffee-maker manufacturing process
