I’m making a special trip for this next time I’m home

Listen, you can’t gatekeep this. It is for the public good that everyone (especially me) knows about it

If sponges come from the ocean, why haven’t they absorbed it yet?

This whole saga highlights that security is paramount, even when you think you’re small and not big enough of a target or don’t hold anything interesting. Don’t wanna end up like Tea and accidentally expose your users to real-world harm? Email me: michael@liminal.software

There’s no scenario in which the driver should be taking their hands off the wheel, even in “full self-driving” mode. It’s explicitly not capable of that, and it’s against Tesla’s own guidelines for using it

I AM NOT GOING TO SCAN A QR CODE, I AM NOT GOING TO ASK CHATGPT, I AM NOT GOING TO *ASK* AN APP NOT TO TRACK, I AM CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD!! YOU ARE A MACHINE!!!!

This is like asking if a different color of paint would’ve saved the Titanic. There are simply much more fundamental problems there that are impossible to redecorate your way out of

Railroad quiet zones are so funny. The train’s gotta creep on its widdle tippie toes so it doesn’t scare the cows

Hilarious to see this adapted to “pedal” lol. Usually it’s “paddle”

TIL that the Dutch word for “baseball” is “honkbal”, they have an equivalent to the MLB called “Honkbal Hoofdklasse”, my local team is absolutely dominant, and tickets right behind home plate are €10 🤔

Obviously The Late Show is an incalculable loss, but ngl I think the thing I might miss the most is his Ben & Jerry’s flavor

My skull makes the Taco Bell sound when you hit it

It’s extremely frustrating that the Dutch word for “two” is “twee” (pronounced like “three” with a Dutch accent (like a toddler learning to speak))

My fidget toy is a lighter

Listen, if you’re reading this and happen to be near the Florida Everglades, just know that if you pour sugar into concrete mix, it’ll crumble after it’s set

Standing in the middle of the reggaeton festival, visibly on Duolingo

Texting “happy 4th of July!!” to all my British friends

Alt text: Bald eagle looking intensely at the camera with the caption: “We are no longer accepting things we cannot change. It is now time to change the things we cannot accept.”

Obviously losing Sissons and Lauzon sucks and his new contract sucks especially, but at least with this trade, whenever he makes a good play, we can say “Man, that guy got sent to The Hague” #Preds

I will never understand how we won such a dominant cultural victory that the Germans speak English now but we just kind of decided as a nation that we don’t really like that, actually

On one hand, agreed, but on the other, Sharks pfp + this take is a v funny combo

I have birthright citizenship in the US, just like everyone else from there. To attack it is to attack the foundation of the country itself. This court can only be seen as an illegitimate mockery of justice

The ceremonies that @hilli.tech reference are real tho. I don’t think the average flag gets disposed-of that way, but it certainly happens. If we’re following the flag code, it’s illegal to incorporate a flag in your clothing

This is purely performative. The flag code was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the ‘70s. I’ve never seen one of these before. You are, however, in the most … uhh … patriotic part of NYC (stay safe, have fun btw!)

Not just the country. The city, even. It did feel like a certain kind of message tbh

Had a really productive PR at work today

I’m sorry, I was too late

In my past life, I was the bacterial pneumonia infection that killed Ronald Reagan

Few things bother me more than the whole “you don’t owe anybody anything”. That’s just fundamentally not true. We owe each other the world
