never kill yourself

I just tried to "up dog" my seven year old nephew. "hey, do you have up dog?" Him: "Yeah!" And runs off to his room. He comes back with a toy: the dog from "Up". "it's the Up Dog" Damn he got me

Never texting the apartment group chat again

TypeScript is the greatest language for zoomers because a file named "ahh.ts" with the contents "type shit = true" is perfectly valid

Cherry blossoms in Japan.

i wish computers felt good again. i think working with something that used to(?) be my hobby (which i’m immensely grateful for) has kind of broken me.

God Bless the person in this listserv for writing this

the personification (catification?) of 😺

Caliban, for one, doesn’t really see things that way.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

what companies do people like to use for servers (VPS are fine) these days?

US friends, i’ll be at antithesis.com/bugbash/conf... if you wanna say hi

I made a little Instagram reel about this image because it’s just so frickin’ cool

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

I already have this happen enough in public, I don't need macOS doing it too...

Ya’ll, I took the new train into Seattle, and met another trans girl who was also excited about the fact that we have the world’s first (technically second) train on a floating bridge and my wife called it the Trains Day of Visibility.

"the trans of gender" is what the staff at "medieval times" is instructed to call us

I would like to update my "not accepting baseless slander from the right wing" policy to "accepting baseless slander from the right wing if it is extremely funny and on brand"

It’s been 5 weeks since NYU Langone ended care. Mamdani’s office has not directed H+H to absorb patients or enforced NYC human rights law against the hospitals stopping care. He also has not answered multiple trans journalists questions on if he will commit to doing so.

happy trans day of visibility to all of the incredible trans people in my life. the world is better with you in it and I'm never going to stop fighting for you, because your fight is my fight. we're in this together.

Y'all won't be ready when I whip out the Japanese exclusive Pingu PS1 controller from 1999

if you continue slandering my name like this, getting the facts wrong and such, I will be left with no choice but to get in contact with my lawyer and pursue litigation against you, jonathan. this is too much and you fucking know it buddy.

i cant believe slipknot are open-source maintainers

Finally time to drop the thing I've been working on for weeks: Bluesky without Bluesky – I ran a full stack PDS/Relay/AppServer/Client stack using no bluesky code!

We have Create trains on our Minecraft server and I jokingly said "imagine if we could use our Suicas at the gates" CC:Tweaked w/ Advanced Peripherals, websockets server in Python, and I forked an app that reads raw data from ICs No AI code whatsoever because fuck your Claude, I can do it myself

the sequel, where i actually look less tired

genuinely fascinating that we’ve hit a point where the full monetization of the internet and ai bot takeover has led to a majority of people wanting tech minimalism

The cherry blossoms on the North Shore of #Pittsburgh are in full bloom and looked amazing today when the sun rose above the bridges. I spent a couple hours capturing them, and can't wait to share more, including some film images. These are some early favorites.

Paused MAD MEN while Ted Chaough’s partner was in the hospital and the HBO Max interstitial ad made it look like his dying wish was for a Whopper.

cat in a box, call that a `Box<Cat<'a, 'b, 'c, 'd, 'e, 'f, 'g, 'h, 'i>>`

It's been a month since NYU Langone ended care. Letitia James deadline came and went, NYU still has not restarted care. Mamdani refuses to answer questions from trans journos over the real steps he can take, like directing H+H to absorb patients or enforcing human rights law. Important thread.

Dad mode isn’t so fucking funny now is it

My colleagues (+ me, a teeny tiny bit) have been working on this for quite a while, and we're finally ready to release some of it!

god grant me the serenity to accept the bellies i cannot safely pat, the courage to pat the bellies i can, and the wisdom to know the difference
