When I die, the people dealing with the remnants of my estate will have to deal with tens of thousands of notebooks and journals that are completely empty except for ancillary illustrations of cats.

I’ve made the incredible discovery that the @frame.work desktop can fit into my handbag.

lol I just got momentarily hysterical thinking about the fact that the New York Times got its managing director for communications to confirm on a Saturday that it is standing by its reporting that young women in China have tiny hands and this is why Apple has its factories there

I’ve been working on a hobby forum system for sometime now. It’s a clone of the old IGNBoards but written in modern PHP. Supports registering with a discord account which is neat. just a little hobby project - www.vulpine.meme

One time when living in sf, with a Comcast residential IP, me and my partner canada’ed too hard that we somehow convinced Google that our IP should be geolocated to the center of Canada (which happens to be Regina).

the rock is just a text that says “hey! what are u doing”

Steve Shirley escaped the Holocaust as a child & went on to found one of the earliest software startups. The really impressive part? She employed women programmers who had been pushed out of the workforce after having kids, & allowed them flexible, family friendly, work from home jobs—in the 1960s!

I need more information

New Normal Men, featuring my friend Lucy who indoctrinates us all as Swifties. Also: @rickywlmsbong.bsky.social learns about sewage, @ed3d.net rejects the concept of swimming, and @proptermalone.bsky.social gives us a report from Washington, DC.

Vanity Fair has a new profile of Waymo CEO Tekedra Mawakana, positioning her as a kind of anti-Elon, and yours truly gets quoted along the way. Worth a read, if you think all "self-driving cars" are the same, and all leading to the same place (they're not). www.vanityfair.com/culture/stor...

I fear these are absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of salt and acid, but also somehow rich? I added some chopped Grillo's and honestly it was gilding the lily. 9/10, one of the best instant ramens I've ever had, will probably buy a bunch more.

She doesn’t need a hero, she is the hero we need. 🤩

I'm failing to remember enough to Google this, but I could swear there were cases where someone mixed corporate data into personal systems (or vice versa), personal data got dragged into legal discovery, and it was embarrassing all around. Does anyone have a pointer?

Fuck Air Canada

Canada has found unity in hating Air Canada! And they said we were divided

I just made a list of all the projects I'm working on right now and there are 19 and I do not find this overwhelming, but I think I would understand if Katherine just threw me into the ocean one day.

@kendraserra.bsky.social just gave an interesting talk about strong "you will not disclose any security bugs you tell us about" NDAs on some disclosure/bounty platforms I'd add something to that: companies have a real incentive for people to disclose closed vulns 🧵 www.usenix.org/conference/u...

I’ve made the decision to move on from my employer. I’m looking for security leadership roles, ie director of sec/eng, or as a first/early security hire to build out teams. If you someone to build out psychologically safe, high-performing security teams at your company, please reach out!

If you're a 1L starting law school in coming weeks, just remember: You're *supposed to* feel a bit confused at first. It's normal. Law is like a language. You learn it best through immersion. You'll take a few weeks to get to speed. This may help, too: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Here’s our CEO’s statement. Factually, I just want people to understand that you can still help a lot if this is something you care about. And because at this very hard moment I am not in a position to answer for the network, I’m going to keep this closed. (3/3) www.npr.org/2025/08/01/g...

Murderbot was a really fun show for a dark time we are in. 10/10 recommend.

This is the truest thing I have ever seen. You cannot imagine how much the Romans would have lost their minds for excel. They literally already started writing our historical chronicles in synchronized columns *by hand*

Amazon Ring is introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices. Helllll no. If you have one of those things, get rid of it. Kill it with fire

After a bunch of tests the psych gave me the official autism diagnosis. In my mid-30s. What a time. Apparently I’m hella good at masking rofl. But my brain super struggles with coming up with social interactions from scratch. Brain goes completely blank.
