WAIT. Dr. Cassie McKay is BART FROM DIRK GENTLY? This explains some things... but raises many, many more questions.

Doctor Or Jesus? Round One:

To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

Reading Marco Rubio’s speech about how “western civilization” is about embracing God, rejecting the foolish ideal of cosmopolitanism, and celebrating the genius of bands like The Beatles who were founded by the guy who wrote that song about a world with no countries or the concept of heaven & hell.

I am enjoying Starfleet Academy for: 4) over the top angsty teen drama 3) futuristic take on Prarie Style decor 2) just, relentless optimism about people and possiblites 1) Holly Hunter's complete, absolute inability to sit in a chair like a normal person

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

Whenever D'Arcy Carden is in anything, I can't help but note if she is a Good Janet or a Bad Janet. (In _Loot_, she is definitely a Bad Janet.)

Here is a thing I like a about the English language (not just in specific but by example): "The Beeping": uh ok "The Beepening": oh no

@publicrecdsource.bsky.social is that "criminal occupation" IWW, as in Industrial Workers of the World?

AirBnB deleted my wife's account because there is a woman in Florida with the same name and birthday but also a meth problem and parole violations.

If I have not seen further, it is because giants have been standing on my shoulders.

If Yankee Candle made a candle that smells like the Indian restaurant I just walked past, I would buy that candle. I would buy the hell out of that candle.

Image Mode is awesome.

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

House spiders are pretty good, but I think we should genetically engineer house dragonflies.

Things I have accidentally invented because I don't have a proper CS education: 1. long format data tables 2. k-fold validation 3. simulated annealing To be clear, this is not bragging. Turns out, learning things from others is good, actually. (Notes for 20-year-old-self.)

The absolute best intervention for poverty: just give people money and stop hand-wringing about what people might spend it on. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Me: You know, this anniversary is a significant milestone! Her: What, because it's a cubic number? *rolls eyes" And that's why we've been married for 27 years.

Anya comes home from her restaurant shift. "Dad — go dish out ice cream. Mom — queue up the video. I'm going to go change into my PJs." *takes a beat* "Now imagine I said that but less bossy."

I like a lot of these candidates, so... it might come down to extra points for those who say "Somervuhl" and "Somervillan" properly. youtube.com/playlist?lis... #SomervilleMA

People have trouble interpreting this. Nobody’s saying Donald Trump or Pam Bondi are personally selecting Nazi iconography. They don’t read enough for that. The point is they hire and promote Nazis who ARE steeped in Nazi iconography, and they’re fine with it.

Huh. I did something which made my system load go up to 140 and filled 32gb of ram and 8gb of swap. Desktop wasn't responsive at all, but I could ssh in from another system and ran top and killed some stuff. I expected to have to reboot, but it all just sorted itself out. Good job, modern Linux!

K: You ate half this jar of Marshmallow Fluff! I just bought that! V: It's not my fault you got the small jar!

I made a new website for my wife's store. magpiekids.com #somervillema

Boston University IT claims that they intend to retire AFS at the end of August. Good luck with that, BU sysadmins! (They've been trying since at least 2005.)

fine i will do it i will inspect the potato

I like how the Spanish word ojo is, like, the visual equivalent of onomatopoeia.

What if instead of the trolley problem it was the Trolli problem and instead of getting run over everyone got sour gummy worms. I believe this to be a much better deal.

Just over here watching the temperature, listening to the AC struggling, and wondering how long Eversource can keep the power on.

I said "You know, technically the entire ocean is seaweed soup", and my daughter laughed out loud, so I am officially winning at Dad.

*sits down on plane* *gets notification from Egencia that my departure gate has changed* Thanks, Egencia!

I am on the bus to the airport in Prague, and am surround by old British men with whichever accent it is where every sentence ends with either "innit" or "an' that".

Is there a vscode plugin which automatically notices when you are adding comments or fixing typos in random parts of the codebase and breaks them out into their own distinct commits? As an undisciplined coder making things up as i go along, I don't know how to deal with this.

As a human, I * love the em dash, * enjoy making bullet lists, and * am not sure if that body of water counts as a "lake" or whether a moped is a "bicycle".
