Heard the first pro-vinyl argument today that really stuck with me: A significant chunk of the revenue actually goes to the artist. Should I get into vinyl? Always felt a little pretentious to me (don't tell my brother).

Is Fargo’s 5th season the prequel to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?

A history podcaster I listen to had an episode about his cat that died. So obv I’m sobbing right now. Anyway, episode came out five years ago.

Excellent job on the subtitles for Fargo Season 4, @netflix.com!

At least six people in my family sick, including me. Upside is I didn’t have to see my Nazi uncle. Happy holidays?

Gonna hang out with my fascist uncle tomorrow. Thoughts and prayers.

Happy 30 year birthday to Ruby, here is how I, someone who hasn’t contributed to Ruby, made it happen! Yay me! I’m so great!

I *wish* I’d be the kind of person that could say “trouble is my middle name” but unfortunately it’s Konstantin.

Switched to DuckDuckGo last week and it’s been very smooth. Too smooth tbh. As in, also getting AI answers and the same “ugh do I need to fact check this?” immediate reaction.

Wait, they are making a third season of Pushing Daisies???

I think it’s f’ing grim that Asian Elephants in European zoos have a median lifespan of less than 19 years, compared to over 41 years in captivity in their range countries, and about 60 years in the wild.

Pissing Out Cancer, my comedy special produced by and formerly exclusively on Dropout.tv is now available for free and in full on YouTube. Thank you so much to Dropout for being chill and letting me write this into my contract! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh5G...

I wonder which essential web service goes down next.

You’ve gotta commit the crime if you wanna do the time.

The first two seasons of The Diplomat felt like a thriller. The third more like a comedy.

Marx missed some marks

This is cool and all, but I'm not going to import my dishwasher powder from the US www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAX2...

I compensate for my lack of travel by having my bedtime fluctuate by more than five hours from one weekday to the next. It’s like going to New York!

OH “Plethora is a great word. It means a lot to me.”

TW self harm, harassment TIL if you report expressions of self harm / suicide on Reddit, they ask you if Crisis Text Line should reach out to that person. I think that is great. Quick search also seems to indicate that some people abuse this for harassment, which sucks. People can be horrible.

Was gonna go to bed, but then I watched www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2sV... and now I regret that I'm out of whisky.

A No Kings protest made up entirely of men under 5'5", all chanting "no kings but short kings"

Looks like svn.techno-weenie.net is down. Where do people get their Rails plugins these days?

Does anyone want some log files? $50k a piece! It's a steal!

Which he has been trying to figure out for the last decade, while being a pillar of the Ruby community. The repeated publishing of emails and meeting notes, with wild interpretations, seem like attempted character assassination by @rubycentral.org and @searls.bsky.social. Hugely disappointing.

I think AI is a scam by crypto bros to make their energy usage seem less absurd.

This was a good read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Deleted TikTok today. Let's see how that goes.

So far iOS 26 has mostly been annoying. Obvious settings seem to be missing or I’m unable to find them (like never translate German for me). Everything is over the top animated (feels like 2007 KDE) and looks shitty.

I'm so disappointed that Ruby Central gave in to pressure and pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air.

After listening to about a dozen first-hand accounts, I’ve published what I know about the RubyGems takeover.

Because I saw someone quote Pratchett in a context where I really didn't like it, here's one of my all-time favorite quotes… youtu.be/DBnENlXt-H4?...

Me: I know, if I put my sleep in a spreadsheet, I can more easily visualize any improvements! The spreadsheet:

Some trouble sleeping because of some anxiety and napping throughout the day. Opened up Reddit. Big anxiety increase triggered by a single post. lolsob

How tf is there no statement by Ruby Central on kicking out the #RubyGems team? Even if this was a normal process from their point of view, shouldn’t there be an announcement?

Crow has been fed. I call him Russel and he likes cashews. /cc @lindsey.codes

Cryotonic sleep as in I had a few tonics (with gin) and now I’m trying to sleep. Yes thank you I’m funny like that.

So… DHH violated the company rules he himself announced to the world a few years ago about no politics at work by writing an anti-immigration post for their company blog, right??

Random thought, 3:45 AM, 15 years after my studies: I have no idea where my bachelor's certificate is.

Shrinking is what you get if you turn The National songs into a tv show.
