I'm sure that no small number of parents blubbered their way through these letters.

This is the one. We're done here.

An interesting, impromptu thread from someone who worked on the Nokia N-Gage.

There's no attribution, and searching for the quote on Google only turns up similar social media posts with no citations. This is fake.

I realized I didn't want to be a therapist. A buddy hired me because he needed a writer for the websites he was building for clients. Along the way, I learned a bunch of digital marketing and analytics skills because there was no one else to do that work. 15 years later...

Oh sweet Christ. Unlike the Star Wars prequels, Episode II of this mess is so much worse than the first.

This shit hit like the finale of the first season of Fringe.

Absolutely gorgeous sand boas.

Every inning, the strike zone gets a little bigger.

Everything i needed to know about networking, I learned from Battlestar Galactica.

I just turned to dust.

The letter I wrote.

I'd rather play Superman 64.

My political temperament has been pacifistic all my life. Never again. I never want to hear a Democrat so much as whisper the word "bipartisanship." After the last quarter century, any candidate who doesn't have a wrathful thirst for justice that will never be quenched doesn't have my vote.

My cat Jem is Exhibit A for the former. He's indoor/outdoor (because I was an idiot when I first got him, and he's too stubborn to give up his freedom). He's 16, and aside from surviving through sheer spite, one of his greatest joys in life is murdering rodents and leaving them for me to find.

What the hell is this shit?

Multi-paragraph bullet points? God, imagine the PowerPoints Alito would put together.

Even with relatively simple analyses (recent example: "Here's a list of businesses and their websites, please give me a one sentence summary of what types of goods or services they sell"), ChatGPT has a very high error rate. Relying on it for an extremely complex situation like this is nuts.

I wonder what the oldest movie is with two or more main cast members still living. I'm thinking it is probably Mary Poppins, as Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke are still alive, sixty years later.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #196,722!

Great job, Ron.

Oppenheimer was the most emotionally affecting movies I've seen in many years. I was shell-shocked. But after some contemplation, I think it's a stunning film. If you have the opportunity to see it, do so. And if a 70mm showing is an option, you have to take advantage.
