Today is Thursday.

I’ve done like 16 2fa challenges today, and I’m over it.

Why is my job's healthcare benefits mobile app showing me out of network providers?

How do people afford to travel to tech conferences all the time? That’s fucking crazy.

I would buy tickets to go watch the CTA Transit Jamboree In skokie.

bsky.app/profile/matt... Adding an absurd amount of people to this. Trying to not add people under 1k, but I'm not perfect.

So many devs across the country would love to work for something like the NYC Pit Crew. Myself included. Every state and city should have this. People are clamoring for a chance to use their powers for good full time.

This morning I saw a squirrel emerge from a dumpster behind a shawarma place with an entire pita in its mouth.

Winamp Skin: The X Files

lychee link checker saving my life rn

Dog rolled around on the ground outside and it was cute until I saw he was rolling around on an ant colony. 😬

aldermanic prerogative needs to fucking GO

We are trying to introduce Donut to an elderly cat. I had them near each other taking turns with a churu just now and it went pretty well. Donut got a little too close once or twice and got smacked a couple times by the cat. He’s learning!

People with window tints are ALWAYS the shittiest and most aggressive drivers

This is a fucking disgrace. These people need support.

How the fuck is formatting text in a jira ticket this fucking hard

getting too mad about work too early in the day today

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

You would think criterion could get a bigger closet with how much money they charge for those fucking dvds

Hokum was great. Really worth seeing if you like spooky stuff.

Widow’s Bay was fantastic. I’m sad I gotta wait until the next season though!!!

if you start a teams meeting early, you're going to heck

My face when my dog jumps up on the couch to lay down next to me: 😭

I am collecting bookmarklets; send me your bookmarklets >:) ersatz.website/_main/tools/...

This is one of my favorite pieces of footage from space. Remember the early Macs had a motorized floppy drive that would eject the disk?

There should be a single-user turnkey PDS for ATProto that doesn’t require SMTP for people to self host.

If I use the bsky PDS I was assigned for @standard.site, what happens if bsky bans me?

We did not need this rain.

New Video on Interface Studies: What Makes Software a “Place”? When does software start to feel like somewhere instead of something? Some software you return to. Some you only use. The difference is not aesthetic, and it is not nostalgia. youtu.be/tBE2ZYx7MWw?...

#catalpawatch26 Had to back way up to capture the whole thing.

I made an internet shrine for my dog ersatz.website/_main/shrine...

Trying to re-enter the job market and learning that some front end dev folks are starting to make "sizzle reels" of their work makes me feel completely exhausted.

Keeping a bottle of wine around the house for when it happens

A bike planner died on his community’s streets, and I wish that this was a unifying moment for the transpo practitioner community to come together to demand networks of all-ages facilities for people on bikes. Not ITS or robocars or bulbouts. All-ages bike facilities. RIP Riley O’Neil.

I think everyone on a bike in the whole city should start taking the lane everywhere. Enough of this door zone paint horse shit.

The only music that's every worked for my ADHD during the workday is Daft Punk's Discovery, or Halcyon On and On by Orbital on repeat.

Watching someone floor their car to pass a woman and two children in a cargo bike is really incredible

I am having a lot of fun using kinopio.club to diagram things.

School is out and now my neighborhood doesn't have any more psycho parent pick-up/drop-off traffic. I'm enjoying the quiet. That's how it should be.

I wrote a bookmarklet to fix the cast list on letterboxd. I HATE having to mouse over the names of the actors to see the name of the character they played. Just copy this into a browser bookmark URL, and go to the CAST tab of a movie. gist.github.com/matt-y/9ac31...

I saw a brown headed cowbird! Never seen one of those before!!

Finished the first batch of postcards going out to folks on here! If anyone who follows me wants a postcard, send me a DM wand let me know where to send it! Snail mail!

Had to give a car the jerk off motion for chasing me out of the crosswalk at a four way stop sign I was crossing. It’s really easy to drive a car and not do that kind of hostile shit to pedestrians.

There is something fundamentally rude about the first day of the month landing on a Monday

trying to read about how to use @standard.site with my blog and I am like four pages deep across three websites trying to figure out what all this jargon means and what to do with it I'm sure this is cool, but if you're not immersed in ATProto this is very opaque.

They daylighted HALF an intersection near my place (why only half???) and these flex posts are getting their asses kicked. The plastic posts are getting obliterated faster than they can get replaced. It would be funny if it wasn't so gd stupid.

watching someone build an elaborate aquarium on YouTube I'll never do this myself so I am living vicariously through the disembodied voice narrating the process

what a specimen I love them
