As bad at it as I am and as much as I hate that it's true, make friends with people. It's so much easier to get shit done if people know and like you.

and if you have a desk job, a good office chair

"a man two friends short of a podcast" is an INCREDIBLE turn of phrase. Language is beautiful

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

it is really important for news outlets to be clear (unlike the nyt here) that Kimmel was suspended not because of some grassroots backlash but because ABC caved to threats from the head of the FCC

Super excited to announce the experimental release of asynchronous SSR in Svelte! github.com/sveltejs/sve... `await` expressions in your Svelte components can now be rendered on the server, meaning you don't need to render them inside boundaries with a `pending` snippet. Next up, streaming SSR!

Firing liberals over stuff right-wingers get away with every day is truly honoring Charlie Kirk's legacy.

if your website disables right-click i hate you

The big problem is investors will keep pouring money because *if* one of them hits, it's going to be worth an unfathomable amount. A lot saw that as a matter of when, and hoping to hitch to the right horse. Now I wonder how much is just sunk cost fallacy at play. futurism.com/six-months-a...

Wow, y’all really went from “we have confirmed it was an antifascist trans person because of markings” to “we have zero comprehension of this clearly random and incomprehensible act” as soon as it turned out he was a white right-winger.

Happy Monday everyone xox

Due to the current state of things I have decided to become goo xox

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Everyone loves Optimus,“the robot that has diarrhea!”

it is so annoying to find and replace hardcoded dollar signs in a svelte app

WHAT THE FUCK'S UP DENNY'S

A federal court ruled that ANTHROPIC illegally copied MILLIONS of books to train its AI. All authors and publishers whose books were downloaded by Anthropic from pirate websites are subject to receiving compensation. This could involve your work. For more info: authorsguild.org/news/anthrop...

I like listening to Judas Priest when I drive fast because I’m like that’s right Judas Priest, I am “breaking the law”

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

I just scored 16 / 20 (80% / 100%) on the Basic Test at css-questions.com! Try to beat my score. 💪 #cssquestions

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

hotdogs always do Numbers

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others

Dreamworks should do a Shrek remake where all the other characters are live action or "realistic" cgi but Shrek looks exactly the same

interesting, if not surprising, that the biggest usage gap between X and bsky is among 'learners that use AI' followed by 'learning to code' X is officially for noobs* and sloppers** * non-pejorative ** pejorative

why is the best 2000s celebrity reality star dead and the worst one the president of the united states

trump: you can't arrest me or you'll have to arrest BILL CLINTON too! (to himself) heh heh heh thatll stop them leftists: awesome, fuck that guy

I’m perfectly happy to send any and all of those people to prison too if they were diddling kids

Ozzfest 2005, headlined by Black Sabbath, was the first metal show my brother and I went to. We discovered what would become some of our favorite bands there - Arch Enemy, Trivium, Mastodon, The Black Dahlia Murder, and more. Thanks, Ozzy.

Deadlifting what is allegedly @jason.energy’s bench

Or just that libertarian town in New Hampshire that got overrun by bears because people weren’t storing trash properly

the right mistakes virtue for virtue signaling because they don't think virtue is real

women: please wipe your ass properly and shower every now and then "alpha males": bro women are so superficial. you need to looksmaxx or youll never have sex. get surgery, grow taller, do shitloads of steroids. buy my course for a thousand dollars. here are all the products i endorse.

Alpha males don’t wipe

Easily one of my favorite dishes ever

why does it feel like the modern js ecosystem has completely undone "write once, run anywhere"

it takes a whole team to make Web Dev Challenge happen, both on and off screen. here's a little peek behind the curtain of S2.E5. watch how all of this came together here: codetv.link/wdc/s2e5

short answer: no long answer: yes. I have a degree in Medieval and Early Modern Studies. Turns out knowing how to read and understand documents in context (author, culture, intended audience, etc) is actually quite useful as a software engineer

Telling that the Times gets more upset about a journalist calling them out for using a Nazi as a source than a journalist, yknow, using a Nazi as a source

as developers, our urge to build software solutions to tiny problems can be overwhelming in this episode of Web Dev Challenge presented by @intuit.com, we asked these devs to give in to that urge watch the episode here: codetv.link/wdc/s2e5

Big fan of democracy but we'll have to admit it's an L of historic proportions to get subverted and destroyed not by some strategic genius but by possibly the dumbest man on earth

My episode of Web Dev Challenge is out! Watch me and @bryn.codes take on two other teams to tackle problems that are definitely real and not stupid at all. Can we read? Can we do basic math? Will I draw a turtle on the giant whiteboard? Check it out to learn the answers to these questions and more!

Call me crazy but I think it's bad that politicians can go on the news and lie and the news doesn't tell its audience that they lied

It's out! This was so much fun and I feel like it shows!!! Thank You @jason.energy for the opportunity, @packbenpack.bsky.social for agreeing to this on such short notice, and all the other developers, @bryn.codes @jacobleesinger.com, @lynscott.bsky.social and Ebrima Jobe!
