He’s happiest when he’s not playing. Just like Sixers fans.

‘What radicalized you?’

I dunno, being a decent person?

"250x bigger and lost" is pretty insane. Imagine 250 Steam competitors all spinning their wheels

And it's not like the labor is crap. It's not like thousands and thousands of people did their job wrong

They had shit captains who will experience no repercussions for Shadow Realming billions of $$$

They own Twitch, but couldn’t make a viable Steam alternative? Wow.

My father worked on an offshore wind farm. Woke up early every morning before dawn to wrangle the zephyrs out to pasture, then he had to milk the breezes. Sometimes one of the gales would get a little rowdy.

He died of whale-lung at the age of forty two.

We started burning 2 weeks ago and today’s fire is laughing at both of us. Fire can be fickle, or maybe the guys that use propane torches to light their stoves have a point?

How would you describe that worldview?
My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

Screenshot of text:

unfuck google drive by shooting gemini
Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again!
Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever?
Open your gdrive (web OR app)
Settings > Manage Apps
Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push)
Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

People thinking everyone else is just like them is the cause of 80% of humanity’s problems.

Happy tangent: my magician of a baker fried boils down apple cider and adds it to her snickerdoodle batter. They are one of my favorite things she makes.

The whole entire gag is literally enjoying what you do with your life. Claiming joy in every single moment that you can.

Only doing things that align with your joy.

Believing that experiencing joy is worthwhile and your actual birthright.

Start there and watch the switch up.

If Liverpool wants to save the season, they both need to go. They’ll have to bring in their replacements and TAA’s, but that should have been done over the summer.

Dear running stores, I know I am old, fat, and slow. But when I tell you that supportive running shoes hurt my feet, please believe me. The extra foam is a deal breaker.

You go back to the transfer window and buy some CBs. They have a one man backline and even VVD isn’t good enough to make that work.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
