lotta people think ingesting, even feasting, on videos of suffering somehow makes them better. just the act itself of consuming the content. pretty weird, when you get right down to it

There we go. That there’s a headline.

Whatever happened to not posting bullshit from ding dongs on X over here. I don't give a single smothered and covered shit what Matt Walsh and fucking catturd are saying about Venezuela.

I photographed the opening of the Ridgefield Art Gallery, where my wife @kaylin-rose.bsky.social is a managing member. I like these dark and moody images looking in from outside.

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

I love this, more collaborative lexicon building in the atmosphere! My favorite bit here is the fact that the platforms are making a concerted effort to make sure they all adopt one lexicon, working together on the definition so it doesn't become cumbersome for users to move between them!

At this point I’m not sure this is enough to convince anyone who is still there. They all have their excuses locked down.

“It is not simple. I do not know what that means.“

If you are a huge nerd like me, you may be wondering, "what about No. 6 trains that use the old City Hall Station to turn around at the end of their runs? What will they do during the Mamdani swearing-in?" Fear not.

Remember that tomorrow is your last day to apply for the 2026 Gem Fellowship! https://gem.coop/fellowship/ We will announce winners in Jan/Feb.

We’re watching The Hobbit trilogy in December and LOTR in January. I think this will be a new annual tradition.

Might switch from Audible to @libro.fm. I'd occasionally miss Whispersync, but maybe I can live with that?

Checking out kipclip.com by @tijs.org. Something I've been wanting for a while is a pinboard alternative built on #atproto. I like that this one is built on a community schema (@lexicon.community) for PDS storage, as opposed to @rito.blue. I wonder if the community lexicon will become standard?

FYI: If you want to revoke permissions you previously granted to third-party Bsky tools, you can access your OAuth dashboard at bsky.social/account (or PDSNAME/account if you're self-hosted). It may take 5–10 min to work.

Great read as always

There was an awesome animated ninja turtles short before the movie about how AI sucks and steals everything

Watching the new SpongeBob movie, pray for me. Kid likes it tho

This dog is looking festive and knows it

Nice malapropism on “bystander” and playing yourselves for fools twice because everyone knows his name is Ahmed al Ahmed. Embarrassing, really.

This goes without saying, but a properly documented immigrant and a U.S. citizen each have exactly the same right to be working a construction site as the other. The violation of that principle is an abandonment of the idea of America itself.

This reminded me it’s been a while since I reviewed my backup plan. This is a horrible situation, and not totally surprising unfortunately (although still shocking). Some of the worst support I’ve ever received was from Apple.

posted about my Apple ID woes, please share widely? hey.paris/posts/appleid/

Do not do this.

I’m planning to catch up on the last few seasons of Stranger Things, but decided to restart from the beginning. Currently on Season 2. It’s so good.

A chance to hire an Astro core maintainer! Yan would be an incredible hire for anyone who needs an Astro expert, or someone with experience leading a very active OSS community. He'll also track down every tiny error in grammar or punctuation in your docs. Those misused commas don't stand a chance.

this is a very good example of using something salient to explain hyper-wealth other “visualizations” of billions are abstract (distance etc). not going to make an impact on people whereas an elementary school teacher’s salary expanded to EVERY elementary school teacher is not abstract at all

Today I learned about Kanopy, and more people should know this: a whole ad-free streaming app you can access with your library card! Check to see if your library is a member (mine is, and has a great catalog). apps.apple.com/us/app/kanop... 🎬📽️ #FilmSky

Just want to call out this incredible move by the Guardian to embed a year on their social sharing graphic so it's very clear that something is not new reporting. Should be standard operating procedure.

Happy to announce that Gem Fellowship applications are now open! If you're a Ruby open source maintainer, this grant program is for you. 💎 https://gem.coop/fellowship/

I love this "Mom, my business is fine" chart from @emmettnaughton.bsky.social, just in time for the holidays 🤣 mrr-chart.emmettnaughton.com

The #ShittyCameraChallenge Black and White Holiday bullshit start’s December 1st! Which is…

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

I can’t wait this long for pluribus

Ahhhh it’s not as if people haven’t been yelling this at journalists for the last seven years

a design course that isn’t just about copying patterns?? this from @piccalil.li looks really good if you’re looking to spend down your yearly edu budget:

So how much did those turkeys pay for that presidential pardon?

Having just introduced the kids to hitchhiker’s guide for the first time we were recently discussing this. 😆

shout out @danabra.mov for this very helpful critique thread of @leaflet.pub publishing flow core issues mostly fixed now w/ our new *looseleaf* publishing! (let us know if anything still feels confusing! still a few things to figure out for looseleafs, like custom domains & feeds/following)

this is happening on Friday!

Finally we’ve arrived at the enshittification of trust 💀

No matter what you eat for the holidays, please never: - comment on how much someone is eating - comment on how little someone is eating - comment on someone eating This can be a major trigger for people with eating disorders. Plus it’s none of your business. Thanks!
