I am making Christmas bunting a thing. Get on board! #crochet #christmas

Giving up on watching Christmas movies this year. Going to watch Rob Reiner movies instead.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Real uphill push rn

It's complete BS to say "AI creates code in seconds." That's just a lie. AI creates a first draft in seconds, and that draft has to be extensively edited before it's even marginally acceptable as production-quality code. It moves the work from authoring to editing. 1/2

The Albanese govt is considering an East Coast gas reservation policy. And ok... but how about putting a 25% tax of gas exports so we stop giving it away for free?

Happy early birthday to me from me. I’m upgrading my 2019 Edison e-bike to the latest model. I’ve commuted 12 miles round trip to work every day I could for the last 5.5 years, putting over 20,000 miles on my old bike. Technology has progressed and I’m excited to get my hands on the latest.

Developer attempts to replicate "Liquid Glass" in CSS, and once finished realizes what she'd actually created is an exploit for a fundamental, previously unknown, and rather serious browser vulnerability lyra.horse/blog/2025/12... "CSS hack accidentally becomes regular hack"

In the 4.5-mile bike ride to pick up my kids from school, I found the following in painted bike lanes: at least 6 trash bins, a parked car, a parked firefighter truck (likely lunch break), and a parked city maintenance vehicle. This is unacceptable, and another reason why paint is not infrastructure

Excited for this! Thanks, Ada's. adasbooks.com/event/2025-1...

can’t fucking catch a breath make it stop

in some languages, they don't say "I love you", they say "I made sure Future You would have a potato", and I think that's beautiful

Read a book that talked about a 50 year old woman as being "spry" and I need to find the author and slap him and that shouldn't be a crime.

Mad Men 4K

Me, working on copyedits: Hi, sweetie! (as my dog tries to move my laptop with her face) Me: Oh, I see. You want my lap? I could hold you if I tilted and did something terrible to my spine? Dog: (climbs on lap) Me, now working sideways.

You can eat thanksgiving leftovers for as many days after thanksgiving as you want. You just have to find the courage to do it

Dude on phone: "We have to stop the train from getting to Sydney or we're all doomed." Dude in car: "I'll never outrun the train in this shit box! ... Hang on, I have a crazy idea but it might just work" Camera zooms on man driving the car, determined look on face, he swerves into bridge railing...

I'm sick, (it's not covid) but I'm coughy and gross and breathing is harder than it should be. I also have a 6 month streak of 10000 steps. Do I walk 8k today or lie in bed with tea and toast my streak? 😢

Amazon, please stop asking me if books I bought month ago met my expectations. I still have unread books I bought in 2012. Be real.

What if you came home and found me sitting on the couch with a whole power point presentation of all the things the Jurassic franchise got wrong. (I sound like a hater but I actually do really love these movies. Except the last Jurassic World, that movie was trash and I hate it)

As a former public radio station DJ and incorrigible playlist maker, I support this message. Coincidentally I was just reading this review of the new Nightmares On Wax that touches on the same themes: www.clashmusic.com/reviews/nigh...

Used up some offcuts at work to make a little Christmas village for the mantle and I'm so happy with them.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Guys, I fixed the brakes on my bicycle all by myself please clap... Please I almost had a breakdown like twice.

We went to #vinnies yesterday (on Black Friday) and bought stuff for Christmas presents - how unintentionally subversive of us.

I'm taking an in lieu day and skiving off work; Eating excellent Thai food in 30 degree heat. Give me this instead of turkey *any* day!

Neolithic clickbait

So we can just point the llms at each other, Spidey-style, and get on with our lives elsewhere!

Is it just me or is a bunch of #genAI just used to expand three bullet points into fancy professional words or to summarise fancy professional words into three bullet points?

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea
