Casablanca Treasure of the Sierra Madre The Outsiders This was just from English 2 class, the rest are less memorable

Leadership: "AI is so good it writes almost all our code" Status dashboard:

This is my new favorite labeler: bsky.app/profile/labe... Gives me a nice warning when a website is actually a substack!

I got a really nice email from stripe that amounts to “you are going to need to rewrite your billing code soon” Ugh 😭

the greatest advertising creatives in the business worked for months to bring you: "look at this piss"

At long last we have created the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create the Torment Nexus

THREAD H2A guest worker visas are finally a big enough program that farmers are ready to switch to that instead of undoc'd workers. That's why they're rounding up undoc'd people. Farms don't really need them anymore, & they're "too hard to control." That hasn't changed!

Every few months Some Guy does the ‘Bluesky isn’t sustainable’ post that just boils down to ‘nobody listens to me!’ & everyone says Shut Up every time.

New motivation just dropped

Epstein-Barr Virus #EBV was linked to #MultipleSclerosis - now a plausible cause has been found, misidentification by longterm memory T-cells that pick on the wrong protein, ANO2, instead of the EBV-antigen. Massive inflection towards the elimination of MS!!! 🧪🧠Cell www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

I have reached the time of day where each of the cats seek an audience and make demands

This thought also crossed my mind. I also considered maybe some bad news is coming.. “well at least WE don’t have a desperation score!”

StarCraft.. though I probably haven’t played in 20+ years I almost played StarCraft 2, but ended up building a saas instead 😅

Amazing I guess I can lower my expectations for myself 😅

The finished product!

Today felt good. The first time coding has been fun and not just felt like something I had to get done in a long time

Having this weird sensation where I want to read documentation and write code. Starting to wonder if I have been burned out for a while

A work in progress: A wooden tray with a cover to protect house plants…

For the next two weeks we will be fundraising for our winter ministry project … consider partnering with our local ministry in providing grocery gift cards for the community venmo.com/u/solomon-MI...

I watched Yarvin’s Sheldonian lecture. What struck me is that he’s describing real institutional failures, but he completely misdiagnoses the cause. He treats “democracy” as the problem, when the actual collapse is upstream.

One of the greatest things anyone has ever said to me was to explain that when you randomly decide to pick up a rock it’s because the rock has decided it wants to travel. It gives me joy to ponder.

Ok, so now that I only have 20 minutes left to work my brain wants to get busy 😭

I refuse to read the Nuzzi fluff piece

Wow this is amazing

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Back in the 1900s we used to mock phrenology as quack science

Would love to see a law that taxes stock grants above a threshold to be taxed at 90% or more

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Imagine if tech companies felt obligated to create good products for their customers/users

The vibes are excellent tonight

So looks like I’m on the job hunt again😅 Right now, I’m looking for contract/pt work since I have another really huge “project” in the works right now🤭 If you know of any contract/pt roles in dev marketing, technical writing, or dev education, please send them my way! Please repost and boost!💜💜

I always thought the torment nexus metaphor was extremely clear and couldn’t be misunderstood, but now I know better

I wish the super note turned on as fast as an ipad

You see this @ianlandsman.com

Throw your money in this here incinerator, techbros, I swear you’ll get more out afterwards

I predict the ballroom will be tastefully architected and won’t look like a monstrosity in the massive void where the east wing was

I find myself debating whether I upgrade to an M5 and give money to a company that donated to build the Epstein Ballroom and also can’t design a UI worth a crap Or try Linux on desktop for the first time in many years Or just keep what I’ve got now (M1 with 16gb ram)

Might we evaluate the fitness of a future senator by their judgement? Even if every excuse were true, keeping a nazi tattoo shows a staggering lack of judgement.

Finally got around to processing some moon shots, not bad, though needs some work on framing and splicing

please help foone, who has given us all so much joy over the years

Basically, if these companies are successful at paying back their investments, they'll need to harvest double-digit percentages of every Western worker's paycheque. And if not, well, this is going to happen as the hardware depreciates faster than it's generating ROI: pracap.com/an-ai-addend...

Fun fact: Maria Colina Machado SUPPORTS Donald Trump sinking fishing boats off their coast.

“Art is no longer Swift’s priority, if it ever was. We don’t have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn’t art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people’s songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities.” Fatality

I guess i need to rtfm, because I don’t see why the bluesky app wouldn’t let you pull posts from another app view

TIL on the st tng blu ray set, there’s an extended 57 minute episode of Measure of a Man where data is on trial for his status as living or property

Some personal news

So it turns out atproto has some large fundamental flaws, huh?

Aside: between woodworking and astrophotography, I never need to worry about having enough ideas to spend discretionary budget

TFW you get wrapped up in one hobby (woodworking) and miss that tonight was a great night for another hobby (astrophotography) and get mad about it
