A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

End of an era. It's bittersweet. I'm happy Destiny ending this experimental chapter. I'm sad it had to whimper out since the Final Shape. I'm very happy they're giving us back SRL before it goes though.

Morning Kitten “The perfect box does not exis—“

Not exactly a novel observation, but one of Mamdani's skills that literally every incumbent can and should copy is "loudly and repeatedly state your policy wins"

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Most of us wouldn’t be here without sex and it’s an important part of many people’s lives. It can be fun, holy, intimate, profane, trivial, or traumatic. It has as much a right to be in our art as any other human experience, even if you suspect someone is cranking hog to it. Yes even porn. Grow up.

Be me, looking for a nice blue zip up hoodie for everyday wear. Think, i know, I'll check out dftba, they have great stuff! Search zip hoodie! Exactly one. It's blue, it's the Loading Ready Run V2 logo hoodie. Perfect! LRR is great! Out of stock in my size. So close. The hunt continues.

Availing myself of a Fat Tug IPA from Driftwood Brewing before I fly back to Seattle.

Hello from Victoria, where I'll be hanging out with family.

[crawls out from under a pile of fake flowers, covered in hot glue strings and loose threads] I lived, bitch. The costumes for Noveltease Theatre's production of Orlando are done! If you're in Seattle, you should go see it at TOJ from today though May 9!!! theatreoffjackson.org/event/orlando/

Well that was fabulously done! Still many more shows left in it's run. theatreoffjackson.org/event/orlando/

Time to enjoy literature!

I finally picked up a backpack appropriate for running with a laptop, so now I'm an "occasionally run to the office" guy. I forgot that the extra weight would make the experience more pleasingly tiring. Of course, the real tell will be tomorrow morning.

If you'd like, you can buy rebrands and listed OEs from us. However, you don't have to! Our cert has one of the broadest list of tested OEs of the industry, and you can just use it with stock Go 1.24+ and GOFIPS140=v1.0.0, courtesy of Geomys. The point was removing this roadblock to Go adoption.

This is the smartest thing on the Internet today.

It's unreasonable how effective locking my phone in a plastic box is at improving my focus.

I'm making a rice cooker gyudon for dinner and it's unreasonable how tasty my house smells right now.

We are not asking Sound Transit to do something impossible. We are asking them to do what they said they would do. Build the connection. Build the future. Build the damn trains.

Out at the March to Save Ballard Light Rail!

Seattle people, there's some good shit coming up at SIFF Downtown the next couple weeks www.siff.net/programs-and...

I have a new best friend.

Ran into one of my old college buddies today dude was one of the most cracked devs I knew. like reverse engineer a os from binary cracked found out she transitioned. I asked her why, and this hit me like a ton of bricks, "kiran, a computer contains no techbros, but millions of trans sisters"

this is just to say i have forgotten to generate the share holder value which you were probably expecting of me forgive me i was caught up in dread so existential and so deep

Josie and the Pussycats was released on this day 25 years ago 🥁

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

Took me a while to track it down but for all the camera nerds asking the same question I did - high res version complete with EXIF data is here: images.nasa.gov/details/art0... It was taken with a Nikon D5 with 14-24mm f2.8 lens, 1/4 sec at f4, ISO 51200

Ah yes. The worst day to trust things on the Internet. It used to be so easy to tell fact from fiction, but now it's just all too plausible.

If you crave wizard school fantasy, and wish to eschew Harry Potter, may I recommend Stealing from Wizards as a JKR spite read. If you REALLY want to spite her, check our the many recs and deals from the ongoing #transrightsreadathon #booksky

I guess the real question is what's the best way to make these publicly or lightly gated accessible without going down the full self designed could storage rabbit hole?

I do so enjoy a trip to the (San Diego) Zoo.

I just released v1.0.0 of my Go diffing library znkr.io/diff. If you need a diffing library, please give it a try. I am quite confident that it's the fastest diffing library for Go (see benchmark section in the readme) and I am fairly happy with the API (see pkg.go.dev/znkr.io/diff). #golang

i cannot imagine a future without trans people because without trans people there isn't a future

So, if you can't think of who to nominate, may I utterly shamelessly note that Stealing from Wizards Volume 4: Arson came out last November and is very eligible for best novel, the series as a whole for best series, and also for the lodestar award for best YA. You know you want to. #booksky

Happy pi day to all who circlebrate!

Timeline cleanse: let's talk about peens. The peen (or pein) on a hammer is the non-flat face. The ball-peen is the most common.

the most thoroughly vindicated man in hollywood. trade disputes and conspiracies ✔️ republic subverted over sex hangups ✔️ “sand people” killed, royalty indifferent ✔️ naive idiot casts vote for tyranny ✔️ villains with silly names like “dooku” ✔️ powerful clerical order screwing up ✔️ list goes on

Would love to connect with a Seattle-based, trans graphic designer to do some flyers for an event by/for trans people in Seattle. Would be compensated.

I love me a bar not afraid of a theme, and tonight the beverages were all Labyrinth based. I had a Very Nutritious Lunch, a Bog of Eternal Stench and She's in the Oubliette.

End of an era: I switched to a MacBook Pro at work, away from my long standing Chromebook. The saddest part remains all the nice stickers that I'm also parting with.
