I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

Announcing the winners of the 2026 Gem Fellowship! gem.coop/updates/2026...

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

I want to throw hardback copies of "The Mythical Man-Month" at slopmongers until the bubble finally bursts.

Captain -

It's not a fidget toy, it's an attention phylactery

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

starting to feel like it will never be the right day to stop sniffing glue

if you're going to be an internet magazine you need to reaaaaallllllly think about the graphics you use. like, bruh, 🐐🌊

It really is a nervous system

As the world burns, let's get one thing straight. A video podcast is just a TV show.

Prison is what Altman deserves. And tell everyone you know these systems are ecocide-plagiarism-psychosis-harassment-surveillance radioactive waste machines. I still meet smart, well-read people who don't seem to know this. At most they wonder about the IP risks, but that's all.

Ohhhhhh now I get it

RT if you would play a "Time-bending cowboys drive demon-infused sealions across the Deathlands" version of Blades.

I'll let this video I have saved to my hard drive speak for itself. Keep going and don't be afraid to fail.

Me. Beast for anarchists.

Become uncontainable

Ok this rules: unstream.stream Looking for a way to support a musician directly? Like a way to buy their music or kofi or patreon or anything other than streaming? This app someone made shows places you can do that. Search for an artist, find their platforms, give them love. Really dig this.

Maybe I'm too European and/or too autistic, but why would you measure vegetables in recipes by volume and not by weight?!

Senior developers who extol the benefits of LLMs sometimes feel like high functioning alcoholics to me.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

It’s so important to teach young people how to do this, too. We’re here to help them hold and process emotions, instead of pushing their feelings down to make their adults more comfortable

MERRY CHRISTMAS YALL❤️💚❤️!!! I got you this bigass video on standing up to greed and power and unfortunately I lost the gift receipt youtu.be/CtzSHVh0mgw

I expected Tim Walz to Hold Steady, but I guess now we have to figure out The Replacements. Worried that Minnesota could become a Soul Asylum.

Past events exist, after all, only in memory, which is a form of imagination. The event is real now, but once it’s then, its continuing reality is entirely up to us, dependent on our energy and honesty.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Oh no, someone invented an autism trap! I just lost an hour sorting things. https://thomaswc.com/2025.html

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

Me, sitting in front of my computer, overwhelmed, under-rested, with a brain that's being slowly poisoned by a constant infusion of infuriating, terrifying news and clumsy fascist propaganda masquerading as news. "Boy, I'm having a lot of trouble focusing today!"

i'm still not sure which part of generating yaml or copy pasting example code from github at speed requires ddosing the internet, or extended roleplay sessions with a markov chain, or tacitly ignoring the deaths of vulnerable teenagers, but as ever, i guess i am simply too european for this

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

If we lived in a just media landscape, this would now be a trilogy.

Part of what bugs me about all of the discussion around programmers potentially losing jobs due to LLMs is that many people seem to be operating under the flawed assumption that the primary function of programmers is to type code into a keyboard. The product is the software, and not the code.

Alongside the Ruby 4.0 release last week, I published charm-ruby over Christmas, bringing @charm.land's excellent terminal UI libraries to Ruby. A full TUI framework, reusable components, styled output, forms, markdown rendering, spinners, charts, and a lot more! Demos below ⬇️

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

no it’s not just weapons and knowing how to fight, there’s more to it than that. really there’s a whole world of warcraft

Hot take: smart phones are a terrible computing platform and are one of the reasons software and UX have been getting worse.

The utility of genAI—whether it can actually perform the task at hand—is irrelevant and OSS ultimately a trap to bother talking about it. There is literally no amount of usefulness it can add that could make it worthwhile. None. Willing users are either ignorant or willfully choosing massive harm.

Ah, the #ADHD experience of receiving a "stack level to deep" exception while cleaning up.

But I can see you Your bronze helm shining in the sun And there's Gilgamesh with scale armor on, baby And I can tell you and Enkidu will still be strong After the boys of Sumer have gone
