huffin' a whole can of copium 2nite

*did i stutter?*

in case you're wondering — lawmakers weren't prescient, this just... used to happen during the AIDS crisis, it was legal to buy the life insurance payout of patients (e.g. we'll give you $10,000 now for your $100,000 payout), and then use those earnings to lobby against HIV research

it is absolutely insane to me that i can run dual instances of AlphaFold2 on a machine that could barely crank out Borderlands 4 at 60fps without flickering

one of the most important lessons that i've learned in my career is that dark mode is nice for day-to-day use, but light mode is *way* better for demos

this one is truly chicken noodle soup for the AInxiety-ridden soul — certainly one of the denser sets of annotations, but highly worth a read if you need something to feel reassured about being human. a huge shout-out to @stevekrouse.com for pointing me to the original source!

tempted to get this framed

The “$22 + tax” in the link preview makes this feel like the blue shark’s PPV OnlyFans content

only one cat in the world that could make a nap seem like a threat, and she’s starin’ right at me

polyamory was invented to prop up the board game and TTRPG industries.

which bus line is this

i deeply appreciate the consistency of animals. every night, the cat is sitting on my side of the bed. every night, i climb into that side of the bed. and every night, she hisses at me as though it’s her side of the bed.

being an slc resident when it starts to rain

i gotta do it this "get em while they're young" style is how unstructured recruiting markets unravel. universities used to do the exact same thing with medical residencies, and is the reason why we have the National Resident Matching Program & Match Day blog.chaoticgood.computer/content/note...

at night i lay awake and ruminate a recent OSS PR i made with a clever fix that could’ve just been solved with an upstream dependency update

the first time i showed my parents my site, there was a beautiful it-all-comes-around moment when my mom asked "your logo is a computer on fire? like how you used to break the family computer all the time?"

it's gotta be some combination of: 1. `.bsky.social` have attained some status of being hip/screenshots are obviously from Bluesky; and/or 2. people at organizations didn't want to ask their IT dept for a subdomain because then the IT person would get really excited and explain how DNS works

it’s been awhile since i’ve been in relative proximity to a breakup, and hot damn, group chat protocols are really not built for this level of surgical social precision

GitHub Copilot's seating system is so friggin' weird. Getting booted off a personal Pro+ subscription when one of your organizations adds a seat for you — and then not being able to hotswap between org seats if more than one org has you on it — feels like a totally out-of-left-field system

working today at the library of my alma mater to catch a lunch meeting, and i think i'm officially in the "...is he a professor?" age.

some microeconomist is sweating blood right now trying to calculate the indifference value X for “he cheated on me, but he *did* win those X Olympic medals…”

one of the most under-appreciated perks of the internet is being able to google any old name. googled the name of the casting director in the credits of Arrested Development and discovered the most people person who has ever existed

the last few years have been transition from seeing little markdown formatting errors and going "oooo, markdown in the wild!" to going "ugh — markdown."

she’s been trying to find her brother for about 5 minutes now

this is why our home has a never-fold-the-blankets policy

was complaining to my partner about everything i had to do today and she said that "the job easier than yours would be handing out cigarettes to prisoners" so i guess i can buck up

spelunking for the direct quote of the post going around RE AI-generated content

fixed a sitemap issue on @chaoticgood.computer that went unnoticed for way too long

An interesting li’l data ditty for #econsky: re-collected Gallup survey data about where Americans wish they could live:

every hockey team in america is working overtime churning out media relations packages with whichever one of their players looks most like the heated rivalry lead actors

the perfect lady: brave, beautiful, brimming with hate

seismic shifts in the pecking order at my house. the cat has overcome her fear of the comforter (good) but now she doesn’t run away when i pull back the covers and tries to kill me when i climb into bed (bad)

my understanding of blue deck in magic the gathering

classic trope: actor in the franchise role to subsidize their indie film work

the goal of any slide deck should be a carefully-curated ratio of serious content to bits

the elder Gen Z experience is waking up every morning to a sharp pain in your side, wondering “is it all over for me?”, and then realizing you’re laying on an airpod

sprinting home from the coffee shop to tell my partner that graphs can be libertarian, slamming one more straw on this camel's back

a highly personal attack from the bluesky algorithm

muahahaha — if RSS readers are going out of style, then i shall bring the RSS feed to the people

Fallout S2's Canadian plotline deserves an Emmy for "Hardest Read of Future Geopolitical Conditions"

"have big island with many lady, come over and hang you can have the jet? hahaha --sent from my blackberry" "Maybe haha, I'll have to check my schedule, thanks man"

i'm shocked that nobody in the epstein emails has tried defending with "the man couldn't spell worth a damn and i was politely agreeing with his incomprehensible messages"

8am spencer is certainly not going to fault 3am spencer for taking the time to complete the critical task of graphing a soccer ball

i get a lot of shit for playing pichu in smash — f-tier in the rankings, s-tier in my heart for the crawl alone

lord in heaven, our job sent us a health insurance enrollment form and this is the sign-up form

obv settling back into regular posting, catching up on what's what — i'm a bit confused by the blue check system. wasn't the point of the DNS integration *to* verify?
