I'm looking forward to all the new media companies that are going to be created.

maybe it wasn't a good idea to setup that script that plays Salt-N-Pepa's Push It every time I push code changes to my git repo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCad...

Do you remember the last time you heard some good news? As news organizations found out a long time ago, it’s far more lucrative to feed you bad news, to make you resent, rage, and most importantly, react... open.substack.com/pub/roychris...

Trump's policies are hurting everyone except for the richest 1%. "New Golden Age" for whom?

You know, if he hadn't been wrong about pivoting to video, whatever that fiasco "metaverse" nonsense was, his "AI friends" junk, and if he and Meta weren't responsible for sucking up and selling all your data to the highest bidder... I mean...why do people continue to listen to this utter clown?

McDonald's CEO says people who don't try the new Big Mac will be at a "significant nutritional disadvantage"

❝ The world of cereal box record collecting is unique, in that the songs themselves and the audio quality are of lesser importance. “They’re fascinating insights into our past,” Cumella said. “Today, it stands out as a bizarre artifact of another time that we would put a record on a cereal box.” →

"The spokesperson did not respond to a follow-up email asking if there was another instance when the Mayor’s Office weighed in about a traffic-calming project that was already planned and funded, and that project was then suspended."

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

Just a reminder that there was also a multiple-person shooting at a high school in Denver today. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

Why is xenophobia so important to some people? It feels like there are people who really need an other to dislike as a way to define themselves. Are they not aware of other options for hobbies?

Why is it always the last screw with projects that have a problem? I’m building a small furniture project and the last screw to go in is a metal bracket that wasn’t tapped. I guess it’s a good excuse to get some thread tapping tools.

What if campaign finance reform meant every political donation automatically sent 40% to public education? No loopholes. No exceptions. Support a candidate → support schools. Imagine elections fueling classrooms instead of just attack ads.

This should terrify everyone.

We’ve got a curious new coworker at our Mukilteo terminal! This is Melvin, lovingly named by our Mukilteo terminal employees. He is an American Mink (Mustela vison) and has been spotted a few times in and around the employee stairwell and along the walkways.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

📌Eight years ago today. Trump's "fine people" murder and maim people in Charlottesville, VA. This has always been his appeal to the racists who predominate the GOP. Instead of a deal-breaker, it was an incentive. Dems have issues, but don't you DARE tell me there is no difference in the two parties.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

I'm giving the new GPT5 a test and I thought I would see if it could help with a an issue I have in my code. It just ignores what I'm asking it to do and instead finds other issues it wants to fix. They have giving ChatGPT ADHD with the latest update.
