A screenshot from the Pokemon Legends Z-A game: a woman says “I can only hold it together thanks to my Pokemon!”

Same, girl

A senior golden retriever sits and looks at the camera. She appears to be smiling. She is wearing blue butterfly wings

A side view of the same image as before, so you can see the wings better

Happy Halloween! 🎃 🦋

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

I would very much like to shower and go to bed but there is a snoring golden retriever in my lap and I can’t bring myself to move

I had to sign off around 8:30. How was the engine room? Lol

I know TikTok is mostly brain rot but it did remind me of the October slide which explains why I’ve been feeling like absolute dogshit all month

A senior (10 year old) golden retriever lies on a stone patio while looking straight at the camera. She’s panting happily and appears to be smiling

2 people have asked me in the past week if Georgia is 9 years old. And when I said she’s 10 they both acted surprised that they were wrong. Is professional dog age guessing a pastime I wasn’t aware of?

Also a man was being mean to the hostess who is a literal child?? Vibes are off, unfortunately

Gross, a bunch of cops walked in

Gotta love mediocre diner coffee and an omelette that’s way too big served by a waitress who calls you hon

I’m doing a security training for work and it just taught me how to use a QR code to steal someone’s session cookie. Will not be using this knowledge but it’s kind of funny that they’re teaching people to phish

A weekend forecast with the location cropped out. The low for the weekend is 37F and the high is 71F

How does one pack for a trip where the weather will range from the 30s to the 70s??

“Should” doing the heavy lifting here

Screenshot of the Google Calendar sidebar. There is a new section called Booking pages, where you can create a url that you can then share with anyone so they can book time on your calendar

Google Calendar coming for Calendly’s neck

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Happy birthday!

I made an automated spreadsheet and I’m so proud of it. No one cares, but I am filled with joy

Anxious for Work Reasons on a Saturday, which should not be possible, but here we are, in a capitalist hellscape

I sent the devs I work with specific positive feedback in writing which they can use in their performance review self-evals. Also shared that feedback in writing with their manager. It feels really good to do this & I highly recommend doing it for your coworkers

this push for a separate “TikTok US” app is basically the best thing that could happen to Meta. Everyone will move to Reels for short term videos. Zuck makes more billions 😩

I think the most humbling experience I've had in a while has been increasing the font size on my phone and getting a case that's made to improve grip and realizing how much easier it is to use my phone. I thought I had another 10 years before that became necessary

My man David Byrne released a new album this month

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Public transit is great! Especially in New York! But why does getting to a concert venue that is a 25min car ride away take 1.5 hrs to reach on the subway and/or bus?

It just feels irresponsible to encourage people to follow in OpenAI's footsteps. And of course, no mention of environmental impacts of AI in the "Responsible AI" section.

Taking an AI product management course because I will become obsolete if I don't (I hate it). They talked about the success of ChatGPT and lauded their "ethical" collection of data. Noticeably the instructor said they FOCUSED on free and open source data & conveniently left out how much they STOLE
