Nothing is more energy vampire in online chatter to me than these people who ask me to explain some research thing and then freak the fuck out if I post a paper my God. Like be interested or don't sorry some things are complicated

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

the reason why bluesky (relatively) succeeded in the Twitter exodus, and mastodon did not, has nothing to do with decentralization protocols & everything to do with the fact that posting on one of them looked & felt like posting on Twitter and posting on the other looked & felt like posting on phpBB

Who needs “cybersecurity” anyway? That shit’s for trans people and furries

Someone told me a colleague of theirs was "doing AI incident prevention." I say this with all sincerity: I have absolutely no clue what that means.

new Tony Hawk game but it's just him doing normal stuff like going to the grocery store or waiting in the airport security line

iOS 26’s greatest feature? It doesn’t seem to insist on autocorrecting “fuck” every single ducking time anymore!

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

Europeans yelling random shit at me from a Waymo in the Castro should be an OnlyFans

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

The only way you didn't go crazy from computer is if you know what really whips the llamas ass

Charlie Kirk was a 2020 election denier and conspiracy spreader. But he was a 2020 election denier and conspiracy spreader in the right way. by Ezra Klein

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Happy #orangeskyday anniversary to all who celebrate! Here’s what my view looked like around 10am that morning. Yes those colours are accurate (I forced the camera to white balance using the white construction light at left). #sanfranciscohellscape #orangethingsareusuallyverybadedition

OH: “Cuddling is for closers.”

TIL: Stock buybacks were until recently (within my lifetime) illegal! (One guess which president changed that...)

“There's a reason why you separate military and the police. One fights the enemy of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”

I think that any big tech company that walks away from AI will have celebrations like the end of Return of the Jedi. Is anyone having fun? Does anyone *really* like this? It all feels so strained, so distant. Even the people who love AI talk about it like someone has their family captive. It’s sad!

OH: "Work as performed versus work as marketed."

Appreciate @atlassian.bsky.social hard-deprecating their APIs over a holiday weekend… love to come back to random operational tooling being completely broken.

X: You got some… some coleslaw in your tits. Me: I love when a man says that to me.

I’ve spent all morning drinking ☕️ and playing Sonic 2 on the Switch 2’s Sega Genesis emulator and it’s been blissful. (Thank god for the emulator’s rewind/replay feature… I was better at this game 30 years ago…)

call us old fashioned but, this account finds newsom's "check out my rock-hard AI nipples. they're absolutely glistening" platform less inspirational than pritz's "you fascists bring that shit here and I will personally fuck your asses up."

How much of current AI output is just a big ol' Brandolini's Law factory, and we haven't figured it out yet?

X: “So you’re boyfriends?” Me: “No. We’re more… … ‘Exclusive Dating-Activity Co-Participants™️’”

One of the ironies of incident response is sometimes the most effective incident commanders APPEAR as if they're the most uninformed responder at the company...

X: "You're looking... haggard today... are you ok?" Me: "Yeah... I just have resting AI face..."

we need to teach the 1930s properly so that people know the Reichstag Fire was exactly this stupid

If your most effective management skill is insisting people work 80 hours a week, you might want to consider learning some new management skills.

Some lovely words from @jpaulreed.com at @stefinitely.cool and my wedding last weekend … with gravitas

I'm pretty OK with dying on the altar of human expertise.

Emotional labor for others... IN THIS ECONOMY?!!

Everything has a limit: either you set the limit explicitly, or it will be set for you by the system. You won't like what happens when you hit the limit that the system sets for you.

AI agents scurrying around your incidents will not make them unfold better. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

you see, the fascism is just a distraction from the fascism, I am very smart

The “turtle on its back” is a cultural reference we make all the time… and apparently, it’s completely wrong because THE OTHER TURTLES COME TO HELP!

Happy Dad’s (and Daddy’s) Day to all who celebrate!

“You are unapologetically Paul, and that’s kinda hot and also kinda annoying.” - Guy I was recently on a date with

Intern: Are you also a full-stack developer? Me: I... well... I... ... I'm more of a "sifts through the rubble of the collapsed stack" developer...

If everything is an exemption, is it really a "code" "freeze?" 🤔

You can’t take The Straights anywhere.

With all this tariff nonsense, suddenly duty free doesn’t feel like such a ripoff…
