So we're supposed to put out sardine toast and water for the rapture today, right? Or is it boquerones. I can never remember.

Please stop using OpenTorment!!! It's only open-core! TormentLibre is the fully FOSS alternative!

If I get raptured, I'm at least going out hydrated. I got stung by a yellow jacket 11 days ago, and it turned into a crazy full body allergic reaction, but @rahaeli.bsky.social's mcas protocol told me when to go to the ER.

L’shanah Tovah, friends. Have a sweet and hopeful new year 🍎🍯

Paging @jzb.bsky.social

lol, lmao even

Timeline cleanse.

If you were trying to construct the single worst policy that a country could implement, “make it way more expensive for highly skilled people to work here” would rank pretty high.

Very little matters. If your basic needs are satisfied and you've got a few people who you love and who love you, you're doing quite well. Also, always have a pet if possible.

At first glance for the Ruby Central thing, you know how previously, we said "Benevolent Dictator For Life" is an okay model for open source development? That was not correct.

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

Reminding myself today that sometimes technology is in fact part of the problem, as I head into the salt mines to untangle a snag in the lines.

Perfect Thursday night: Whole Bowl and a 730pm massage appointment. I'm going to go melt now.

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

sometimes i forget that everyone on this site used to be a real pleasure to have in class and then i am reminded

Counteracting the doomscroll by making a batch of the absolute best granola today: www.seriouseats.com/eleven-madis...

Every time I poke my head back in here, I am very grateful that I have too much going to follow all this.

just eat the bay leaf. nothing matters.

Voted for A River Runs Through It. Him: "If someone has been able to put together a feature length movie about fly fishing, this explains why I don't remember it." Reader, I'm not going to spoil the ending.

Ok, is it a) A River Runs Through It or b) Thomas Crown Affair tonight? *Said as I need to work through a movie

OH: "or screaming. Screams involve deep breathing."

I would not trade being a west coaster for anything but today I submit three complaints: (1) that feeling when the weather portends wildfire (a) but it's impossible to know! (2) that low low rumble preceding an earthquake (3) 6am your time is 9am in New York why aren't you awake and working

Hello, eyetwitch, my old friend.

It would be a lie to say you shouldn't be afraid or that we're sure to get out of this. They have the guns and they have the courts. But you don't need to to overestimate the enemy or surrender to despair. If you're here, you're better equipped than most to control your fear, outwit, and outlast.

Today is the scariest day of the year in this household, at least since 2018. It's the salmon pickup day, where you find out if you've made enough room in the freezers for twenty pounds of Bristol Bay salmon.

See you again soon, Seattle

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Went on a walk to the bakery with the dog. Everyone is soaked. Portland is so happy today.

I opened up the whole house so that I can hear the rain and the smell of petrichor sweeps through every room, but I might go sit on the porch with coffee and watch it come down. I guess what I'm saying is that your Portlanders are going to be purring like cats today.

It's Saturday night. Many things are bad. But we smoked some salmon, brought it over to a backyard grilling session with our neighbors and laughed with old and new friends.

This is the way (laudatory)

This afternoon's office buddy.

A chilly morning is the perfect excuse to light a honeycrisp apple candle on my desk and get to work. (I'll report back if it's still as magical as it once was.)

me, swearing about losing several hours of planned worktime to the hostile household network. him: "What, I just want the internet before finance bros took it over and tried to monetize every pixel." me: "so you're saying you want the Land Before Time."

I was going to go back into the office to troubleshoot yet another hostile interface on our home network and then I saw the perfect sunbeams on the pool. I can do that other thing when it's dark.

What this week feels like. (I'm also a little disappointed I didn't add this to several pull requests today, but there's always tomorrow.)

I have a new hex!

I hope this email finds you unprepared and subject to something of surprise.

me, climbing out of a hole that contains both law and tech in the form of a research memo, new project governance and a rising technical steering committee: is it Fat Bear Week yet?

I can’t believe it’s even necessary to say that NO city in ANY country deserves or should be INVADED by its federal government. I thought we cared about people. Isn’t that the real point? Everyone needs liberation, most of all the people who don’t know.

It's still going! I'm making sage and brown butter popcorn out here.

I have found nirvana. Chopped brisket breakfast taco, pulled pork breakfast taco, actual breakfast taco, pork belly taco, two hashbrowns, extra tortilla. Side of bbq sauce. Not shown: mimosas, fantastically helpful dog.

It's a Portland miracle: there is no line at Matt's BBQ Tacos.

Yes, I went to Powell's yesterday and it was awful. There were too many books I wanted. Dante had nothing on this place.

@tashasev.bsky.social Did you ever solve the dog dental issue? (Moving to dm)

Smoked chicken radicchio caesar night. Of course Gabriel helps.

A perfect gentleman for cheese.

This looks like a dog that hates cheese.
