annual rewatch of grosse pointe blank

You want well adjusted characters. Grown up characters. Complicated characters. I’m different. I want biblical characters: fucked up, scared, constantly misunderstanding simple instructions, earning doom for subsequent generations.

- kubernetes is a database, actually

The kinds of databases: • Fancy files • 1970s stays winning • This would be so cool if it worked at scale • Oh, that's why google has a monopoly on search

Look if I was a functional person I wouldn't be working in cybersecurity and posting on Bluesky

“Trump is the WH40K Emperor” is perhaps a perfect distillation of the apparent impermeability of the right-wing mind to theme, subtext, or flat-out text in media

this oughta do the trick

"Each of my parking spots is precisely three inches longer and two inches narrower than the average parking spot. The designers say it is to save money and be economically friendly, but I know the truth: my only goal is to fuck you up."

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

They don't have to ban vaccines outright. They can just force people to jump through enough hoops to get vaccines that they eventually stop trying and give up.

why would anyone want to commit fraud on the final exam for america 1877 to 20xx? we got the end of reconstruction, the gilded age, the civil rights movement, the world war cinematic universe, etc the joy of modernity!

Definitely wanting to take it easier this morning after making it to the end of the big match amount last night. Thank you! But, we did wake up to the news that 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 is still out there publishing entire magazines every month. There's a new one this week. Its cover image is really something.

the when to leave conversation is the worst one to have - now and across generations the contours of the conversation are the same as they were in the 1980s as they are now

Still an important convo to have but many articles on the topic have got to feel wildly out of reach for some people who are considering leaving like if you have $500 in your bank account and you're a clerk at a grocery store, this is purely theoretical.

Something I keep thinking about in convos about 'when to leave' is that finances really ARE an insurmountable barrier for people, as are qualifications (e.g. 'digital nomad' visas are great, but what if you're a barista, or a pipefitter?), and, of course, disability penalties.

We’re gonna need a bigger Third Reconstruction.

The average American thinks of type 1 diabetes as a temporary condition, a lifestyle, an inconvenience, not as an auto-immune disorder that has destroyed an organ absolutely essential to keeping you alive.

It's interesting to think of how adults with type 1 diabetes is a recent thing, up til very recently you simply died as a child. Access to an exogenous hormone allowed humans to become T1D adults. To actually grow up. Better access, allowed them to have lives virtually identical to insulin-havers

one who vibe codes and focuses on solution shapes objects is a vibecel or is vibes rotator a better fit here?

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

Time for my usual morning routine, pouring myself a cup of coffee and checking the stock price of the company "Nvidia" to find out if the entire economy has crashed

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

why do people circle back? taking a cuboidal route is right there im just cube’ing back to this idea

lobster or pizza on thanksgiving

tbh it might be easier to accept the decay and eventual death of consensus reality and reliable facts than fight it maybe what grows/develops out of the ruin will be a better internet?

One of the big tidal forces of the coming years is that the baseline reliability of things you see on a screen is going to decline. I think this has not been adequately metabolized. This is one version, but there are a bunch of them.

After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds: “These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.” s3.amazonaws.com/nursing-netw...

As Fred Brooks pointed out in Mythical Man Month in 1975, half a century ago, the vast vast majority of any software's life is spent in maintenance. Statistically almost all of programming is maintenance, documentation, not writing brand new shit from scratch.

My family has Melungeon ancestry and we make a fried cornbread dressing patty that came from kush, a dish slave rations shaped. Recipe was passed down from my grandfather who came from east Tennessee and is a Goins descendant. Thank you to Michael W. Twitty for teaching me this.

!!!!!!

(ten seconds before being uninvited from thanksgiving) it turns out the tshirt cannon i got on ebay *can* be modified for hard-boiled eggs

achillles should have just worn timbs

it's happening dot gif

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

got to grift harder if you want freedom or go full heritage

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

!!!!!!!!

this is also uh, why i found the fact that NSA had so many queer employees unsurprising, but to the new right/NatCons, it's basically a mystery why so many elite developers are in the queer community
