Pinterest started recommending me Snoopy stuff because a girl I'm flirting with likes Snoopy stuff and I pull Snoopy pics from Pinterest. But today it recommended me "Snoop Dog" [sic] and I guess I can see why it did that but that's an extremely different thing.

K-pop outperformed the vast majority of companies in the S&P 500 in 2025. You would currently be 63% richer if on January 1st 2025, you bet the house on BTS and NewJeans.

merry christmas bluesky

Lmao

The Mexican Jarritos Instagram account has fewer followers per capita (1 in 2940) than the South Korean Jarritos Instagram account does (1 in 2810).

I feel like the US federal government must have better sources for inflation numbers than Doordash.

stranger on the train asked me what brand my boots are. total menswear victory

I had no idea what Fiserv does until I looked up their website. Their website says that they offer "insights" and "solutions" to "move businesses forward." So I guess that's what they do.

Today is the 10 year anniversary of Joanna Newsom's latest album, Divers.

I'm writing a blog post for the first time in over a year. I've had some thoughts floating in my head about vector embeddings that I haven't seen articulated anywhere.

A friendly reminder as Nobel season approaches, the Nobel Prizes are not real Sveriges Riksbank Prizes in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

Is there any food with a higher delta in quality between the 80th percentile and 95th percentile than baklava? Like a good baklava is whatever, but an amazing baklava is to die for.

nothing these guys are mad about is comprehensible to a normal human being

kinda fucked up that marine mammals exist. born to live on land, forced to live in the ocean.

geocentrist celebrating their birthday: I'm grateful for another trip the sun took around me

today I saw a herring gull dragging a dead rat into the crosswalk while the cars were stopped so that the cars would run over the dead rat's body. Nature is beautiful.

The version of the survivorship bias plane that you usually see is the American one. This is the version that they use in Germany to illustrate survivorship bias.

I'm struck watching this what an absolute moron you would have to be for it to provoke any positive nostalgia at all.

How is it that I've never seen this image before?

everything is going to shit so fast. god damn.

it is important for me to occasionally clarify that I have been and will continue relying on this good-faith, clear, unambiguous promise from Elon Musk insofar as my Twitter posting behavior is concerned, and that my reliance is both reasonable and foreseeable.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

the government must be shut down until the epstein files are released

i'm confused. what shared secret could the president of the united states possibly have with a convicted child sex trafficker?

Bluesky is a platform for people with arrested development who never grew out of posting like this. Seriously man what the fuck are you even talking about.

we have so much more in common than what divides us with our friends in asia

The uncropped version shows this is clearly AI. Come on. Don't fall for obvious misinformation.

AI generated. Face is too round and "TRLMP" on his shirt. From another angle I saw he had 6 fingers. Where's the real Trump and what are they trying to hide?

we need more a little more bland boring professionalism in the world. brands with dignity. marketing campaigns without goofy, ironic innuendo. politicians who don't dress like slobs or talk like dimwits.

i do not think the average american voter realizes the privileges that they had as as citizens of a deeply integrated world hegemon are slowly vanishing one by one

2 months away from the 10th anniversary of the last album Joanna Newsom ever released 😔

the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.

The Cracker Barrel new logo design docs just leaked and they're CRAZY

My employer lied to me. When I interviewed there they said I'd have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge cloud + devops tools like Kubernetes, Ansible, Docker, and Cloudformation. But in reality the job just consists of writing YAML, and now my career growth is being impeded.

Finally finished Attack on Titan, after not getting back to it when 1/3 of season 4 was finished. Still a good show overall, but what a disappointing, muddled, bad ending. It's so bad that it's kind of fun to talk about why it's bad.

Guess I'm just built different but if I was Sam Bankman-Fried I would have never got caught. He was a total amateur.

It's ok to just be mad at right wingers for doing right wing things. We don't have to come up with some elaborate indirect causal story whereby secretly the left are actually the ones bringing about everything, even bad stuff via own goals in this way. The right do bad stuff sometimes and it sucks.

This whole story is insane. Tesla apparently did everything it could to avoid providing the data it had about its Autopilot crash. This is just a snippet and there's a lot more. electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...

Niemöller was asked by his concentration camp cellmate why he had ever supported Hitler and the Nazis. Reportedly, this is what he had to say for himself:

The devops subreddit is legit pretty good www.reddit.com/r/devops/com...

bizarre, almost tankie-esque argument from Tooze in here. basically saying Trump can't be fascist because America has always been fascist. glib and also self-contradictory adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

Oh so now it's illegal to have birthday letters from your closest friends who share your interests?

let he who has not sent a letter to a convicted child sex trafficking billionaire referencing a shared wonderful secret in a calligram of an eroticized woman cast the first stone.

If I were a wealthy pedophile I would probably not send my fellow wealthy pedophile friends birthday cards with text like “Hello I love how much we have bonded over our secret child fucking habit” for him to put in his scrap book
