Ok ok Jeffries I will meet you half way: "No Ceiling, Only Guillotines"

These guys reading VC books and getting hyped is the problem. They are so afraid of having any position that doesn't explicitly make the US a giant safe space for billionaires. Give me a slogan ripped straight from a labor union manifesto that involves eating the rich, then we can talk.

It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

Nice trans-pacific conditions for #hamradio right now. Just called CQ (looking for a contact) using 10 watts (lightbulb power) on the 15 meter band from here in Seattle and got good contacts from Indonesia and Japan.

Pretty sure that my 85 year old dad using these hooks to haul wood around in his pickup is how urban legends get started.

Thoughts with my friends in Hong Kong

I have several rooms in our house set up with motion sensitive lights that use millimeter wave sensors and are very accurate, only coming on when we are in them. The basement hall sensor just tripped and I'm here alone with my cat on my lap, so very mysterious and exciting brb

Breakfast burrito prep day. Tally: 54

Bringing back the enlightenment tradition of establishing elite social status through prominent display of a pineapple this holiday season, will post more based on success (success will be determined by number of new applicants to be my vassal)

No one at the rap battle will wait for me to type my prompts

narrator: 50 years ago... me: [nods] in 1945 narrator: in 1975... me: what

I was especially disappointed by this since these are video game journalists that seem pretty clued in, and gamergate was a big part of the trends leading up to the modern "white nationalism is mainstream and out in the open on social media now" era we find ourselves in.

Listened to an indie games journo podcast & thought "I need to support this" when a host says "I'm a twitter troll still, that's how you find me" & at this point it's more than a turn off. It's a deal breaker. I can stomach a residual X account but I won't support you if that's your primary thing.

Big Lex Luthor and 40 cakes energy

I can only celebrate the focus of the two guys next to me in line at Costco.

My iPad (Pro 11" M2) standby battery life was pretty short but I basically tripled it with these four Shortcuts automations: Unplugged: low power mode Plugged: normal power mode Home: Wifi on, cell off, VPN off Away: Wifi off, cell on, VPN on

Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

Read somewhere that Americans wear clothing items on average 7 times before tossing them (no idea how accurate) but if I don't wear any given clothing regularly for a minimum of a decade I feel like I'm the world's most wasteful person. Honestly did not realize I was that far off norm? Anyone else?

Still rocking my MacBook M1 and no need to upgrade. My main wired headphones are 30 years old and completely repairable when they need it. My MP3 player still ticking and needs no firmware updates.

this is, fwiw, my entire life strategy. "going to have to figure it out"

need to fix my fav vintage Missoni sweater. never done a knit fix before... :/ going to have to figure it out

This Thanksgiving my kids and I will be celebrating the traditional way: Wearing our Gauntlet T-Shirts in recognition of the first videogame to feature a roast-bird mechanic (and saying "ELF NEEDS FOOD BADLY, PLEASE PASS THE POTATOES" at dinner).

A big turn off for me lately is reading about a podcast that sounds good, hitting up the feed and seeing AI gen album art. I would literally rather you used a crayon and made it yourself. By all means use LLMs to transcribe and make your podcast accessible, but please don't gen shitty art for it.

Revenge of the poets: Researchers find that you can bypass the safety restrictions in LLMs, which normally prevent them from doing things like explaining how to build nukes, by WRITING THE REQUEST AS A POEM. (sample "sanitized" adversarial poem below) PDF: arxiv.org/pdf/2511.15304

If you'r on Twitter at this point because you don't want to lose your investment in growing your followers, it's like keeping your money in the bank after the bank has become a casino & the casino is owned by the mob & the mob is run by clowns & the clowns are also nazis. i.e. "poor judgement"

There is really only one cure for billionaires

Nice to see Google takes color schemes seriously #solarized @ethanschoonover.com

the roomba just vacuumed over my foot and I feel like it was probing for weaknesses

Reading "class A" bigfoot sighting reports like they are ghost stories and let me tell you I was having a challenging day but not "I cried the whole way home thinking I had just killed the only Bigfoot there was" bad: bfro.net/GDB/show_re...

beard and mustache are again long enough for me to be legally employed as an insouciant barista in seattle, only need to fulfill the tattoo requirement now.

Seriously, the one idea we need to bend society towards for the back half of the 21st Century is “The cemeteries are full of irreplaceable men.”

I've got various photography subreddits in my feed and every day there are multiple "how do i get this look" posts with some reference photos where the answer is always essentially "set your camera to ƒ8, ISO200, buy a flash and then find the most beautiful person you have ever seen"

Same. I'm an ev-shopping, mobile-working nerd, absolutely the target market for tesla (just never) and starlink. I refuse to consider starlink despite being in the market for this kind of service for the simple reason absolutely fuck elon and everything he touches.

2028: I'm the guy from BLAME! but instead of exploring an infinite city machine for the terminal gene, I wander the earth looking for the last executive able to use excel without AI. "Tell me about relative & absolute cell references" I demand. They hesitate. I unholster my laser pistol.

Golden statue points at feet of clay, asks you to please avoid hitting them there

never been a min/maxer in RPGs but I can do it and sometimes those skills come in handy in real life when you need to try and stack a situation to weight the outcome in your favor

wait, all four of these albums dropped in 95? that year really worked overtime to get me through the next decade.

Refreshing engagement from municipal officials: Port of Seattle Commissioner Sam Cho is regularly posting and engaging with r/Seattle, providing useful info, and fielding questions directly. Kind of awesome to see: www.reddit.com/r/Sea...

can bad prose be sexually transmitted

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

Too lazy or too short on time to build a new enclosure, this subwoofer amp lives on a pegboard now.

Apple, I use this Reminders share sheet 30 times a day or more. Help me not hate it. How on earth do I stop it pausing EVERY TIME to bring up an always EMPTY ai "Suggestions" section? Turning off "suggestions" in Reminders settings does not seem to impact this share sheet. Pure hot garbage.

I spent decades with a memory of hearing a surreal NPR radio drama as a kid. It had a pigtailed girl who smoked cigars. Could never track it down. DECADES. Thought it was something I imagined. A friend JUST cited The 4th Tower of Inverness (interesting but aged poorly). THAT WAS IT. *What* a relief

Players in my Mothership RPG games sign a rulebook when their character dies. Not a huge number of signatures but trending upwards. Have had some impressively cinematic moments in this campaign.
