It was so fucking cold at Zohran’s inauguration. I don't think I’ve fully recovered yet. That said, it was a lovely and inspiring time!

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

if what I did was a "war crime" then how come I'm not in trouble

Awesome Games Done Quick 2026 is about to start. :)

You do not under any circumstances gotta hand it to George W Bush

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

I said what I meant and I meant what I said.

What do you mean I can't bring a Raspberry Pi to the inauguration??? www.nyc.gov/assets/cecm/downl...

I wrote a blog post about how blowing up my life two years ago to take care of a family member has been going, the process of starting Zepbound to manage my food noise and weight, and some thoughts on my career accomplishments from 2025. rmondello.com/2025/12/30/h...

I'd be willing to give him full credit for the first one if he yeets himself into space today and never comes back.

"Unlimited losses"? Sounds great.

Y’all ever walk into a public restroom and immediately whisper “Jesus Christ”

Clearly the group that pulled this off is known as Ocean’s Ate

I saw a photo of IRL Toby Fox and honestly, I'm so sad that there's a mystery in my life I can't unsolve for myself.

Everyone assumes you have to close the wealth gap from the top, but if the poor all die of starvation and disease you can close it from the bottom. I am very smart btw

very convenient that the rich ruling class techbros solution to income and wealth inequality will be solved by letting them accumulate even more wealth

Y'all, my bad. I took a joke post seriously and, in a sincere way, tried to add to a conversation that wasn't happening. That wasn't very cool or chill of me! Unless I screw up really, really bad, I try not to delete posts, so I'm going to keep this up, but again, my bad. bsky.app/profile/rmon...

Thank you, New York Times. I too agree that The Onion had the same level of cultural impact this year that Sabrina Carpenter did.

Tech sure has dug itself into a hole if a technology like passkeys, which is a solution to one of the most pernicious problems in being a person with online accounts — the password problem — is viewed with skepticism because websites and apps are actually adopting them in unison.

New Year's resolution: Gonna mix it up, try something new, stunt on the skyline a little less dipshit, more cumclown

no shame, left beef.

Hard agree.

To date, I have gotten no indication from Bluesky that they are working on any projects related to stronger user authentication, including passkeys. I think the development team is focusing on other priorities. (Whether that's good or bad seems like something reasonable people can disagree on.)

This trend is real. Some websites have erred and gone in the "email magic link" direction instead of passkeys. The good news is that emailed magic links work great as a fallback for passkeys, so their work isn't completely wasted. rmondello.com/2025/01/02/m...

ah, yes, chairs for sitting

Software allegedly trying to help me: ~”You’ve spent more money this month than on average!” That’s true. I don’t purchase plane tickets most months. In fact, depending on what you mean by average, I spend more money than on average about 50% of months. 🤔

America, you've spoken loud and clear: you do not like being stabbed in the dick with an ice pick. But what if stabbing yourself in the dick with an ice pick is the only way to fight, idk, climate change or whatever?
