Just had the *wildest* impromptu pair programming session with a colleague and claude (I generally hate AI). It gave us back this architecturally complex solution that solved for every conceivable use-case. 1/N

In a world of AI, be a Pulaski.

No spoilers for #theboys, but that’s how you end a series. Fucking nailed it. 👌

Hopefully one of them isn't...the Devil?? Not much we can do but bump our MaxFun memberships and hope that shakes things loose!

#friendsofdesoto should watch Dust Bunny, directed by Bryan Fuller. I only knew his name from Ben and Adam calling him out as a writer many times. Amazing IMHO, curious what other FODs think.

Today my wife and I found a broom we’ve never seen before. It was in the garage with the rest of the brooms. I’m not sure how alarmed to be.

@greatesttrek.com Looking forward to my morning coffee, and to another 10 hilarious years of viewing!

Did it hurt? When you fell off the wagon?

Someone in the Venn diagram of ENM/poly and Ex-vangelical spaces needs to write a book entitled, "I Kissed Monogamy Goodbye".

A sci-fi fantasy like LOTR where the magical world is a simulation in the "real" world. Users and admins can VR in as wizards, Sauron, etc. The real world is invested in the outcome of the simulated one, so events in each affect events in the other. Surely someone has attempted something like that.

The tariffs are to pay for The Board of Peace, which is to pay for his retirement in a pseudo-sovereign state that he de facto controls. Am I crazy? It seems entirely plausible.

I can't overstate how much I hate "tooling", particularly in CI. Sure, each new tool adds some marginal value for someone. But the overall effect is suffocating. Constant CI breakage, constant change in PR requirements, and ever-increasing wait times. Have a very high bar for new tooling!

What if we all just used AI to attend meetings for us? I think I'd be okay with that.

Been wanting to try parallel Jobs in k8s for awhile. Finally have an excuse!

Sitting in the living room late at night having conversations with my son about Arch Linux. Fun times.

Walking out my door today like The White Witch.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

It’s probably the gummy, but a good conspiracy theory is that The Board of Peace is (I assume) going to de-facto govern so-called “New Gaza”, meaning the whole thing could be about ensuring he has a safe place to retire to as “king” when needed. And if not, it would make a good Jack Ryan season.

jQuery was pretty cool.

That about sums up the week.

Tooling is fine and all, but man, it adds complexity.

Um, who bet on "The Lobster" in 2026? futurism.com/future-socie...

Code is liability. AI allows us to create tremendous amounts of liability very quickly

When did car antennas disappear?

Invade Venezuela?

Here's a tragedy of DOGE that most people will never know about, even though it has big consequences: no one is left to coordinate the transition to memory safe systems code. 🧵

Some ❤️ for Pulaski #StarTrek #TNG

Where do they get wood to board up all the windows in movies? I have enough wood for like one window.

If we replace entry-level workers with AI, where will higher level workers come from? Explain it to me like I’m five.

"There are no gods" is the least interesting thing about deconstruction.

Manusos driving through South America with chill music should be its own show. #Pluribus

Monogamy? In this economy?!

Downton Abbey but it’s on a moon of Jupiter 5000 years in the future. The servants are all sentient AI.

Physics is just us pushing around in the dark saying, “What’s that!”. Seems pretty cool.

Sounds like someone didn’t listen to the better angels of his nature.

I am racist against AI. There, I said it. Feels good.

Maybe the one thing American Christianity and Trumpism have in common is treating everyone else terribly, then expecting praise.

Wondering if the internet starting going to sh1t because Flash was killed. While it was terrible for open standards, security, and power use, it was wonderful for creativity

Crypto is essential oils for men.

The pumpkin spice must flow.

So glad Ben & Adam are covering TOS! I know it’s early, but I hope “Best Red Shirt Death” is a category in the after-series award show ep.

Great, now Tylenol is political.

I just minimized a window for, like, the first time in a year. It feels so 2000's.

Programming in 2025 like:

Digg was nice

Isn’t this a weirdly partisan email from the Social Security Administration?
