How does this math out?

From a dream last night: "Badi a nonna!"

I'm not really sure what my nonna wants me to do, though.

Without seeing it, I'm comfortable saying Keanu Reeves is probably perfectly cast for it.

I can't imagine:

1) Paying that much money to see a play.
2) Not knowing what "Waiting for Godot" is.

The grumbling of top brass following that ridiculous Hegseth meeting is encouraging.

Anything AOC has been saying lately.

Judge finds Trump administration unconstitutionally targeted pro-Palestinian students in searing rebuke A judge gave a blistering assessment of the Trump administration's efforts to go after international students who expressed pro-Palestinian views on college campuses.

Laura wanted a kitten really bad and eventually one just showed up in our front yard. So I guess I should keep an eye out in case a Collings 470JL just randomly shows up.

Had a physical this morning and got flu and Covid vaccines while I was there. Shout out to the nurse that tagged me with a Strawberry Shortcake band-aid I didn't notice until I stripped to shower tonight.

That's about how far I made it. I got the same amount into season 2. I thought I should at least try to watch it because it's set in Sicily in some places I've been to, but I just didn't make it.

The amount of anger and confusion some people experience because a car in front of them yielded the legal right-of-way to a pedestrian is just crazy.

Kind of crazy that we seem to need a revolution just to get the very basics taken care of.

"Someone"?

I think Julian Lage might be the only example I can think of a child prodigy that doesn't have a sad arc as and adult. Surely there's others?

I find spicy food blesses me the other way around.

Withholding life saving medicine is an act of war.

Some person at Google decided that notifications from "My Pixel" should be able to override my "Do not Disturb" setting when I'm trying to sleep. There are not enough middle fingers for that person.

Just got a copy of a song I worked on with @reese_mchenry last year pressed into wax. There's not a day that goes by I don't wish we'd gotten more time. We were not done with each other.

TFW when you Google some weird shit from a dream and are relieved to confirm it's not actually a thing.

That makes one of us!

For the love of god, don't take your users to a different domain to set their password. You know that's going to break their password managers, right?

What would it take to get my credit union to stop trying to sell me life insurance?

Intelligence Illusion: What Apple’s AI Study Reveals About Reasoning To distinguish intelligence from imitation in an AI-infused world we need hybrid intelligence, which arises from complementarity of natural and artificial intelligences.

Nobody ever listens to me.

I'm reasonably certain that throwing a sandwich at ICE is protected speech. The risk of actual injury is negligible, so it's clearly a symbolic gesture, which establishes it as speech. The shouts of "Fascists" and "Shame" establish it as political speech which is the most protected class of speech.

If you or someone you know finds Star Wars analogies helpful: Ghorman : Empire :: Gaza : Israel (USA)

Achievement unlocked: stirred up a new jar of natural peanut butter without making a mess.

I was initially outraged that the FDA recalled 64,800 pounds of butter for failing to declare that it contained milk. Then I realized it was actually some kind of margarine bullshit called "European Style Butter Blend" and now I'm like, "Fuck 'em."

Today I got to pet three cats and no one can take that away from me.

Measuring the Impact of Early-2025 AI on Experienced Open-Source Developer Productivity Despite widespread adoption, the impact of AI tools on software development in the wild remains understudied. We conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to understand how AI tools at the February-...

TL/DR Experienced developers predicted AI would decrease time to complete tasks by 24%. Afterwards, those same developers estimated AI had decreased time to complete tasks by 20%. Actual measurements (with control groups) indicate AI added 19% to time to complete tasks.
