on top of all this I think I can take a throwaway NPC from about forty sessions ago, thread him through this stuff, and turn him into Fantasy Martin Luther church hierarchy: "what do you MEAN the heretic's still getting spells from our goddess every morning?!"

Mom and Dad said I don't have to be a war crimes bot

Despair thy charm, And let the posters whom thou still hast served Tell thee this post was from its full context, Untimely ripped.

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote the food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide COLOR TASTE TEXTURE. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience required. My goal is to help kids avoid food related trauma and offer a balm of kindness for anyone who couldn’t escape it.

- grinding up annoying neighbours into science juice: it's not a war crime the first time - getting good at this popular IP involves scrolling a lot of spreadsheets and studying irl textbooks - getting good at this less popular IP involves poring over many timeseries and studying irl textbooks

Nothing to open Xcode /even once/ for my presentation app project was delightful

Back in December, we had a large outage at work. The internal investigation took a while and the internal report was roughly 40 pages long. For the public, we managed to try and condense it to a much shorter format that we think can still offer useful insights to other organizations:

(sorry, ai content) the difference in capability between opus 4.6, either through claude code or the website, and everything I've run into that's gated behind a saas tool is just hilariously steep. the saas integrations are occasionally competent and usually laughable. "stuff some AI in it" fails

utterly disheartening to watch product launch seminars by monitoring and incident-management SaaSes and realize they're still in Taylor-Drucker-Safety I land

the theosophists being kinda right is great i want more bunk science that managed to million monkey its way into being vaguely true

"jestergooning"? nothing about jorking it to Harley Quinn pr0n makes you special enough to warrant a new word, get over yourself

History: who the fuck? Historiography: who asked "who the fuck" and why the fuck did they?

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

we need a slur specifically for british 'journalists'

related: I bet my players, who continue to disappoint me by not watching CHERNOBYL so they can get my cool creepy environments, also have not watched THE WAY OF THE GUN (I am having fun building the encounter pointed at by the quoted skeet)

inter alia, in creating a fat dummy for his experiment, dawkins originated the popular term “dummy thicc”

oh, is a politicsball happening?

today's "no take, only throw": consolidating three incident types and associated workflows into one without forcing anyone to change their habits

not a bad wfh lunch: instant ramen with egg and gochujang broth, topped with simmered daikon and cabbage and a little tonkatsu, next to a cucumber radish salad 🍜🍽️

through a few questionable information hygiene lapses I now know more than I used to about bonesmashing and mewing and, honestly, it's kinda cyberpunk (derogatory)

let's keep the anti-Discourse discourse going. reply or quote with a wildly acclaimed video game you found yourself unable to enjoy. for me it's Disco Elysium, but this was inspired by Outer Wilds (on sale) glazing

Hi, just touchin' up our calendar for March + April for you: 3/7- Fairview Tavern, Fairview Park, OH, w/ hRpR project, 3/12- The Grog Shop, Cleveland Heights, OH, supporting The Obsessed, 4/3- The Beachland Ballroom, Cleveland, w/Guy Snowdon and The Citizens. See ya out an about! Na Zdrowie!🍻🍻🍻

"With two Pro Bowl quarterbacks already on the roster in Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson, it’s hard to imagine the Browns wanting to add even more to an already loaded QB room." ...I agree. Odd!

a couple tablespoons of a dry white wine in your next frittata is a major upgrade

"working code is free!" "yeah, free as in puppy"

I don't mean this as a dunk, merely latching onto existing context: I feel like my definition of "working code" is more systemic and longer-term than most of the industry cares to think in

prompted opus 4.6 with "this is a safe space to infodump" and boy did I get what I asked for

the smell of bananas makes me gag, so it kinda has to be those, but there are good and correct takes going on about blueberries, dragonfruit, and probably honeydew too I'm a bit surprised I'm letting pineapple and its vile texture off the hook, but it's good in salsa (and al pastor redeems it)

Uni, that yellow scarf looks so good on you!

AI safety? well, it has a flanged base,

Parking Double Hélice in Noisy-le-Grand, near Paris r/brutalism

Čočková polévka (a/the Czech clade of lentil soup) is my most recent "holy fuck this is good" discovery like I expected a lentil soup on a bacon base to be pretty darn good but this has wildly exceeded my expectations 🍜🍽️

mad at me because I can finally afford to provide my agents with API keys

cheap instant ramen

they're making you into a pilaf they're toasting you in olive oil they're adding water they're going hog wild with little vermicelli strings browned just right to add a nutty flavor profile. They're fluffing you up with a fork, they're forming a tahdig out of your ass, they're sprinkling flaky salt,

the "secret gay mafia" thing is just not something any of us should read because an outlet that illustrate an article with a photoshop of two dick-hands in a handshake has zero respect for its own readers

my most transgressive rice opinion is that brown basmati is a staple that's pretty much good for everything like I wouldn't use it for risotto or sushi, but everything else. jambalaya? brown basmati. fried rice? leftover brown basmati. arroz verde? brown basmati. kare raisu? brown basmati. it whips

for once I regret building my bsky community to avoid Discourse, I would like to opt in to Rice Discourse today it looks fun

oh this might be my new favourite thing

tfw the D&D group spends ten minutes settling on a sensible course of action into a plot beat I thought I had an extra week to prepare, but a few players decide to "just check what's around this one corner", pull an encounter, find something new to investigate, and the session ends on a cliffhanger

god I love it when some hall monitor-ass metadata linter shits the bed all over my doc updates. it makes me feel so fucking empowered to spend two hours shipping fifteen minutes of internal documentation
