world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-rem... JFC it just keeps getting worse the more I dig into his recent blog posts.

I just need to stop looking up to straight men. Period.

It was bad enough finding out Joss Whedon was actually Spike in "Seeing Red" all along. And that Neil Gaiman really identified w/ Richard Madoc & not Calliope. Watching DHH chase the rest of the tech industry into hyper-capitalist fascism is just the icing on the cake.

world.hey.com/dhh/calling-... JFC. I tuned DHH out years ago, so I haven't been following the continuing hard-right pivot. What a fucking piece of shit.

I got married 13 years ago today. Crazy, right? Of course, both of us completely forgot this morning, so when he gets back from his workout, I gotta scream it at him first so I win. Love you, Bri.

The Rapture is apparently happening on my gay wedding anniversary.

Every time a tech bro uses the word “agentic,” a star in a distant galaxy goes supernova.

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

Sometimes I dream of a truly equal US, where black women have the freedom to be mid

How fucking hard is it to design an air fryer that beeps ONLY WHEN THE FUCKING FOOD IS DONE. JFC, Ninja, your loud, shitty beeping WHILE I AM INTERACTING WITH YOUR BUTTONS AND DIALS is craaaaaazy-making. Whole subreddits are devoted to physically disassembling them and destroying the speakers.

The hell it's beyond our ability to fathom. It's a fascist government beefing up its security police to take care of opponents and also making sure they die off faster by channeling money to rich backers instead of them. What's hard about that?

Gas is $3.50 a gallon, butter is $6 bucks a pound, eggs are $4 bucks a dozen, we’re at war with Iran, South African Nazis stole all our data, and ICE is throwing citizens in detention camps. But hey, at least those 3 trans kids can’t play volleyball anymore.

Oh great Apple has fucking ads in my fucking Wallet app now. No, we don’t live in a dystopian hellscape AT ALL. Why do you ask?

We just watched Rogue One. Andor: “Rebellions were built on hope.” Me: “He learned that from his boyfriend at the hotel!”

If you’re curious about how straight ppl are doing they are currently arguing on TikTok about how if you’re married a celebrity crush is actually infidelity.

"Chair recognizes Senator Schumer of Earth" "I call for us to fully fund Palpatine's budget. While many of us are upset by the sudden purge of the Jedi and the subjugation of the Outer Rim, surely a shutdown would make things even worse. I trust the Emperor will rein in Mr Vader going forward..."

Do other people really hear things described as “viral” and see that as a selling point? Fuckin TikTok ad: “Most people come to the Chicago Breakfast Cafe for the viral breakfast sandwich.” Cool, thanks, will avoid. Just me? Just Gen X?

I once referred to Carrie Coon as “the lady from Ghostbusters,” so I no longer get to comment on the Oscar nominations.

You are showing your entire ass by calling TikTok “a dancing app” in the year 2025

Also: Why did Apple decide to start showing recently connected audio ouputs in iOS 18 even if they are powered down? Stick dead-battery Beats or Airpods on a charger and go to connect a different pair and the dead one’s still there in the list.

Airpods are a shit show if you have > 1 Apple device. You have to uncheck Connect Automatically on every device (I have 4 Macs, 1 iPhone & 1 iPad) unless you wanna have sound suddenly re-route to any device you walk past. Resetting Airpods re-checks Connect Automatically on all devices. Sigh.

You have to answer at least one of the current security qs to change the security qs. Just wasted an hour w/ Apple support who were nice but of zero help. So to the hackers: Enjoy my calendar events from 2012, fuckers!

So Chinese hackers apparently took over the ancient MobileMe account I didn’t even know still existed and changed all the security questions (to Chinese ones), the birthday and the password. Apple’s labyrinth security apparatus lets me reset the password but won’t let me reset the security qs.

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

I mean I've written on theverge.com about how i think macOS sucks which isn't exactly conventional wisdom to everyone but you gotta get your news where you feel comfortable

MacOS sucks, but it sucks orders of magnitude less than the bloated trash fire that is Windows. And Linux is a novelty OS for people who didn't take any liberal arts classes.

Apple is now Microsoft. The inability to tell macOS that it doesn’t get to decide when I download and install system software updates make me want to punch these arrogant fucks in their smug fucking faces.

Nothing feels better than being fully packed and ready to check out of a hotel but knowing you do not need to leave for another hour.
