Ah, the open source community, if only they could defeat their eternal enemy, the open source community.

In which I make the case that Star Wars is the anecdote to the decadence of a professional class that constantly chases novel cinematographic experiences and has come to confuse this empty, hedonistic quest with being cultured.

Community in the middle of a witch hunt: “wow, this post about hating witches is doing numbers, we must be on the right track!”

SUPER NINTENDO CHALMERS

WE ARE 48 HOURS AWAY FROM THE MLB SEASON STARTING

no one bats like Gaston no one fields like Gaston no one has as high home run yields as Gaston at home plate he’s the big winner eating Ohtani’s dinner

Ah, that's why my machine was having issues, the CMOS was leaking battery acid all over the board. neat.

so far tonight bad bunny has sung more reggaeton songs than the patriots and seahawks combined

ten years ago today no one clapped

go birds (seahawks)

It’s called ‘vs code’ because the code is an enemy you are fighting

This is still the funniest infographic Nintendo has ever made

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as the Kennedy Center, is in fact, the Kennedy/Trump Center, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, the Kennedy plus Trump Center.

Avg swing in specials to Congress is 17 pts left since 2024. But bc they've been so low-turnout, the data b4 last night suggested a 100% turnout (relative to the past midterm) special would have swung closer to 6-7 points. So TN-7 (13 pts) is updating priors about the share of swing that's turnout

The Claude soul document is interesting, not the least because I now have a great example of a long, repetitive prompt written by AI experts that I can point to when people ask about prompt sizes.

Turkey came out a bit overdone, but everything else was great. The cranberries are once again my favorite.

If nothing else, I have reestablished to myself that I am not a good baker, lol

Oversight aside, this sprite is really rad

I told my wife I’d make Mapo Tofu for Thanksgiving if I didn’t have to meet expectations, and she said that it didn’t make any sense. I dunno, it seems to fit thematically to me? It’s a warming winter dish.

I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year for the first time, and like every dish calls for an obscene amount of sage lol

It's pretty funny how somebody using the "Hello!" emote in Magic Arena is a dead giveaway that they have a counterspell.

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Katie Wilson now leads incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell in today's ballot drop by 91 votes. She has closed a Harrell lead that was as large as 8 points in early results.

lol. lmao.

Did a postmortem/retrospective for a successful project at work today. Went pretty well overall, but some people were a bit confused at having a postmortem for a successful project, is that not a thing people do much of?

Eating pancakes the way God intended (with jam)

Voted the annoying way (in person) because I forgot to ask for a mail-in ballot lol

Final: Mariners 10 BlueJays 3

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

Mariners win

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Final: Tigers 2 Mariners 3

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Today, before the Pavlovian sense of impending doom can reintroduce itself, Seattle fans can help themselves to as much hope as they can stand. defector.com/the-mariners...

A friend of mine was telling me about his HE keyboard and all the neat things he can do with it, and it’s stirred up something I thought I had moved past long ago: keyboard envy.

As ever, “seek simplicity, but distrust it” bsky.app/profile/snow...

this cult deeply annoys me, as someone who thinks that people should start with small, simple things that are modular, because i think the best way to do complexity is in a modular way with plenty of logging and telemetry from the modules

It is concerning to me how closely the “Cult of Simplicity”/“self-reliant” manifesto resembles fascistic language and tropes: yobibyte.github.io/self_reliant...

I’m free!!!

I know its not a "real" wok, but I think my stainless steel flat-bottomed wok is my favorite all-purpose bit of cookware. I use it more than basically any other pan.
