Last night’s dream: I was at a marketing workshop led by someone who described his product positioning process as “hocus-focus” and the metaphor for every step was based on robbing a bank and, tbqh, it was more coherent than any actual marketing workshop I’ve had to attend.

"If you scream, I'm going to set the kitchen on fire" -- @writing.dog to me as I attempt to capture the Problematically Large Spider with a cup and spare piece of acrylic

Still thinking about the dog I saw on the S-Bahn… What a baby

Here are some excellent dogs I saw in Hamburg last week Shoutout to the one in the last picture, an absolute baby who spent their entire S-Bahn ride going “awrawrarar” and even did a really cute howl at one point

very intense night in Greenland a few days ago. I say 'night' because this light lasted all night.

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

Lmao this rules so hard

hey WebMD quick question: what the fuck

just bought a subscription for unlimited public transport so I can take the U-Bahn to the Wochenmärkte twice a week ... I can just show this post at the Bundesamt to get my residence permit right

sometimes, on very special mornings, I'll be chilling in the living room and @writing.dog will come out, look at me, and say: "... what are bones made of?"

"why does restaurant food taste better than food cooked at home" The cook does not care if you live or die and uses salt and butter accordingly

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Incredible

I’m the guy who invents new bathroom faucet designs for every hotel. You might know me from Knob That Goes The Other Way and Joystick That’s Hard To Turn Off. Lately I’ve been lacking inspiration, even thinking about hanging it up. I’ve had a good run, but — wait, never mind: Ball You Turn Diagonal

I know this is serious and bad but this tagline is so funny to me. what are my sex-based rights. are they rights that other sexes don't have? can I see them?

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

This article is so powerful and illuminating. If you've ever been faced with the scope of advocacy, with the seeming contradictions of the hard work of improving our world, it's worth a read.

You can get the Oscar winning movie where the improbably handsome actor plays you. You can get the award named after you. You can get the memorial that becomes a Washington landmark. You can live forever. Just pick up the history lying on the floor.

Van Holen should receive an enormous amount of credit for this, because we need to summon an elemental force more powerful than anything Trump wields: the ego of US senators.

a lesson for every college, law firm, business, etc. — if these chodes demand you do something, your first response should be some form of "make me"

@writing.dog: Oh yea, blut is blood because a sphygmomanometer is a 'blutdruckmessgerät' me: ...run that first one by me again? her: Sphygmomanometer? me: can.. can you spell that? her: ... get fucked

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

"oh god, 'deswegen' fucking sucks" -- @writing.dog teaching me German

fyi if I waited 2+ hours in line to be at the front row of a concert and I can't see the stage because you're holding up your phone the entire time, I am going to make it my life's goal to screw with your shitty phone concert recording by singing and hollering as loud as humanly possible

"So the problem is that the Italians don't really know how to make pizza" -- @writing.dog explaining to me why it's hard to get good pizza in Germany

"oh no. what did you do to the coffee maker." -- @writing.dog expressing her appreciation for me cleaning the appliances

Just apply that to other small victories. Let people celebrate a goddamn butterfly without announcing that Trump will kill it. If we are not allowed to feel any joy, what are we even fighting so hard for?
