my one friend decided to send me his periodic "hey, long time no talk, want to hear how great my vacation with my bf was?" no, I actually don't, and even less so when I'm getting 5 hours of sleep a night and dealing with teenager drama all week

had a three hour drive today... ... and I discovered I can connect the Claude app to my car's Bluetooth - so, I spent three hours just learning random stuff by asking it questions

ever since Deltarune chapter 5 came out, I've been intentionally telling my AI agents "proceed" when they pause to ask me for confirmation on something (I'm not a Snowgrave sociopath, I just think it's funny)

seems about right

lmfao, I keep watching this. he's literally petting this toddler like it's a dog.

decide to replay Deltarune. on chapter 3 now, and good Lord, I do not remember struggling this much with the Roaring Knight before

me: "also, we're going to need to come up with a name for this project" Claude: "how about 'Recto'?" ... how about no.

saving this from Deltarune Chapter 5 as a reaction image

love to see it. hope a bunch of soccer fans get home to Egypt, Iran, Bosnia, etc. full of stories about how great Seattle was and how nice the people were.

as my mom put it, "he has very expressive eyes"

"JD, Seattle University. Former Assistant Attorney General. She lives in Tacoma with her wife." "SECRETARY OF THE PIGEON CLUB"

started the final taper from 20mg Cymbalta down to 0 today which may or may not be related to the fact that I just snapped and told my agent harness "stop suggesting 'call it a night' as a next step. you are not here to have opinions on my schedule."

we shall see how it goes, but I currently have Opus working on what I believe to be a gap in the open source world, which is a good alternative to Adobe Acrobat (which I am frankly surprised doesn't exist already, or if it does, I didn't find it last time I looked)

beautiful. Bosnia vs. Qatar match here earlier today. then on my way home, drove under an overpass where a group was waving American flags with a banner that said "RED CARD TRUMP"

DELTA RUNE

one of the few things I don't love about living in the PNW: about an hour ago, I spent 10 minutes outside in an area with some tall grass, and on the half-hour drive home I sneezed about 25 times in clusters of 4-5

welcome to my home, all you people wearing Bosnian/Qatari apparel, even if it is painful trying to commute home on 2nd

not to flex, but I like that the major candidates in my Congressional district's top-two primary are: (D) incumbent, a pediatrician (R) a naturalized Vietnamese refugee woman with a PhD in comparative literature from Berkeley

Only the accident of birth separates us from a child in a South Sudanese refugee camp crying for milk that won't come. The administration, every major news organization's editorial board, the richest man on Earth, and his enablers want you to believe otherwise, and they are lower than dirt for it.

every so often, I have a formerly close friend reach out to say hi, and I get momentarily excited until he starts talking about his bf almost immediately and then I remember why we aren't close friends any more

Titan update: we went to Home Depot and two people in different parts of the store told me "you have a beautiful dog"

hm. I didn't think Cymbalta was doing much for me, but I also don't think I've gotten pissed enough to yell at Alexa over a speaker group misconfiguration before, so

every time we go to Home Depot, at least two people will stop and ask to pet him because, well, who wouldn't?

now that Claude exists, I am rather tempted to go take a second crack at some of the subjects I struggled with in school ... except I have to admit that since I don't really have any practical use for calculus etc. nowadays, it seems like it wouldn't be the best use of time

damn, what a beautiful fairway

when I was 12 or so, I didn't see how I could possibly wait a whole year and change for The Phantom Menace to come out. and then time flew, because I wasn't thinking about TPM every day. anyways, I think I've thought about Deltarune Chapter 5 every day since the release date was announced

"This is considered the world's most luxurious plane." as someone who will never travel on it, why is this supposed to be a selling point to me

my initials are "jfc" and I registered this domain years ago on a whim because I thought it would be funny

happy Pride (T-shirt from Robot vs. Sloth: www.robotvsloth.com)

do not give me a courtesy wave as you're making an illegal turn from the center lane, cutting me off, and forcing me to block the intersection. I do not accept, and if I had a way to revoke your license right there, I would

All hail to the chief, who came in the name of a thief to cease peace youtu.be/pvjD0fgny0s

well shit, maybe I can stand outside Lumen Field and join the chant from the street

I've noticed a new thing with disinformation pages on Facebook, which is posting blatant fake news but attached to an image with a microscopic "nothing on this page is real" logo hidden somewhere in it so they can claim it's satire, maybe? I guess?

I wish the other plants in my yard had the same aggressive resilience as the massive bracken fern root system that emerges from hibernation every spring to forcibly push its sprouts through all the mulch and other plants in the way

I am late to the party but Grimm is a good show

I just switched back from "For You" to "Following" by accident, and realized this was the first @tisiphone.bsky.social post I'd seen in ages don't neglect your "Following" feed - "For You" is cool, but kinda makes you a reply-guy for large accounts related to your interests

a whole bunch of Americans have Big Feelings about paramilitaries in Belfast, without knowing things like "Ireland and Northern Ireland are different countries" and "paramilitaries actually killed a lot of civilians"

obviously it's not the same because it can actually be blocked, but the government using "export control" authority to block Fable reminds of 1990s download pages: "click here to download the version with good encryption, if you're not in the US it's illegal arms trafficking to click this one"

(spend all day at work using Opus because they haven't given us Fable yet) (spend the rest of the day playing video games) (check Bluesky before bed) "they did what with Fable now"

I think most people who had Normal Teenage/College Years would tell me I didn't miss much but every so often, I'll encounter something that fills me with sadness and rage that I never experienced prom, and went to a college with a "same sex attraction support group" instead of a LGBT+ community

I assume the World Cup has started or is imminent, based on the handful of people I've seen in soccer jerseys, and the fact that it just took me about 20 minutes to get from my office to I-5

this week's exciting Amazon package has arrived: a counterforce forearm strap, and a vertical mouse, both to help thwart tennis elbow I guess this is what getting old feels like?

this is really just because of my particular niche, but I think it's kinda funny that I work in cybersecurity at a major tech company and I didn't find out about Mythos/Fable releasing until I left the office for the day and happened to check Bluesky on my phone

OMGOMGOMG

Titan seems to have discovered a new morning ritual: pushing the door to my room closed, then whining pitifully for me to get out of bed and free him

continuing to taper off Cymbalta, and I'm not noticing much difference, but I am very much realizing that nothing feels engaging or interesting until about an hour after I've taken my Vyvanse

a highly underrated feature of LLMs (in tech anyways) is you can describe a problem in very imprecise terms, and it'll immediately be able to tell you the *names* of applicable patterns/standards/frameworks/whatever it's really hard searching for things when you don't know the right terms!

nothing to mess up your weekend like forgetting to take your Cymbalta on Saturday :/

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.
