Cubs ticket: secured.

I was talking to someone about how influencers just do what they think is authentic and then ppl see that and try to copy them, which in a weird way makes it their own. Ergo, the not incorrect but definitely groan inducing phrase.

Waiting for Pablo's "Why I Joined the Athletic" post

With the cost of housing being what it is, anyone who bought a house decades ago and has it paid off is likely partway there, if not all the way. It's just not a useful bar to evaluate wealth when most or all of that million can be tied up to illiquid assets.

The word millionaire is pretty meaningless these days in terms of what it connotes and what it actually means

Last episode of Wheel of Time. Give it to me one more time, Moiraine

I wonder if the folks who are chastising ppl for using LLMs to write obituaries have ever had to deal with the aftermath of a loved one's death, the relentless tedium amidst a world of unpredictable grief, with little or no help?

Today is James Baldwin's birthday. He is such an important part of The Movement Made Us as the first line of the book is: There’s a video of James Baldwin interviewing a stranger with my daddy’s face that will one day be my face.

Here is a clip from that video.

For me, it's Bonfire by Childish Gambino.

It would be Walking to Do by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, but, you know, the lyrics....

What, no room for Hershel Walker or Aaron Rodgers?

I actually said the words "self-perpetuating simulacrum" in real life today. What is wrong with me?

For most of us, sleep.

There must've been a kid with an iPad or something. It was LOUD.

On the ferry car deck. The Audi in front of me intermittently beeping and flashing lights. The car behind me is making these weird fart notices like someone downloaded a stupid app and is high as well.

Long weekend unhinged energy.

Room with a view

It's starting and ending / I'm standing alone but I'm standing

Data prevents my wild imagination from doing its thing. Even if it's bad, it's comforting to have a ceiling.

YouTube video by Slight Reliability Mobile app observability?

You've probably never thought about #mobile and #o11y (I certainly hadn't) deeply... here's a 1 minute snippet of @bidetofevil.wtf speaking about it on episode 102 of the Slight Reliability podcast.

I've accepted that I will always suck at git and I'm ok with that fact now

It's still 28° in my place and I can't seem to cool it down. I've showered already and yet I'm once again drenched in sweat.

I feel attacked

This is gonna be dope. #OTel on the web, like mobile, is very different from the backend, but also different enough from mobile that I'll learn a thing or 12. Join gurus Ted Young and Martin Kuba from @grafana.bsky.social, Purvi Kanal from @honeycomb.io, and @embrace.io's own Jared Freeze tomorrow!

Had a great chat with Stephen on @slightreliability.bsky.social about mobile #o11y and reliability. You can watch it on YouTube, or just listen to the audio while staring at the full head of hair he gave me in his drawing.

If I had a dollar for every time someone conflates complicated and complex....

Your library after you download the first two Death Cab albums on Audiogalaxy after you heard Emm Gryner's cover of For What Reason.

$1B to *renovate* is an astounding number. So they're just going to wait for it to be condemned and then knock it down to build condos?

Whether this is a big deal to you depends a great deal on how old you are. HIV/AIDS was death sentence when I was growing up. I seriously thought Magic Johnson was going to die within 5 years of getting HIV. Science is astounding.

Omg

He's certainly in the running of being my favourite athlete of all time. King shit from Ichiro.

The Astros haven't even played there in years. What do they have in there, monster truck events and car shows?

Pretty sure she was too young to wear a gambling sponsor on her shirt when that photo was taken, but yeah, I'm counting her as one of our own #WatfordFC
