Incredible work, bluesky moderation team. Pregnancy *is* intrinsically sexual.

Linda and I stand in front of a crib. One of us is pregnant.

At an aquarium, my wife put her phone screen against the glass of a dolphin exhibit. Thinking this was an impractical way to record them, I asked,
“What are you doing?”

- “Showing them something they’ve never seen before.”

“Oh. What are you showing them?”

- “Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus.”

Does anyone else in iOS dev…

1. Use GitHub + Fastlane for submitting to TestFlight
2. See massive multi-hour lags in upload/processing lately?

I’m so fucking happy TLOU2 is here, and the story is (still) only minimally altered for the screen.

Abby looks a little thin but I digress.

Watching YouTube in a hot tub. Holding my phone real close to the water so I can be distracted by the reflection and it’s basically the same as Apple Vision Pro.

I try not to get up everyone’s ass about pronunciation, for obvious reasons

But absolutely EVERYONE is mispronouncing perineum

I’m glad LLMs work so well for Python programmers but I’m yet to see one that knows jack shit about SwiftUI

the FDA only says you have to cook your food to 165°F so you’ll burn the roof of your mouth

We are so busy
being small and hungry and alive.

What they don’t tell you in English class is you’ll only think Michelangelo is cool for a few years tops

At different stages in life it’ll be Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael; they’ll all be cool eventually

You like Mikey when you identify with Mikey

Rewatching the Matrix Reloaded and remembering why I never bothered with the third movie. Name an iffier sequel.

Kinda like how when I’m listening to a podcast or watching TV with headphones in, my dog thinks we’re just hanging out quietly. This is a very quiet house by his reckoning.

Hey Apple please do some of that legendary vertical integration of yours and make it so when I turn the TV on and all my Bluetooth devices are with me (and my wife and all her Bluetooth devices are in another room) that it’s automatically switched to my profile? You can smell my Bluetooths right?

Frodo Corleone. Is that anything?

Eating lunch at a restaurant playing Anti-Flag and Dropkick Murphys Christmas songs. Truly this is why I live in the Bay Area.

In retrospect it’s really weird that dog trainers and puppy schools in SF teach you to throw treats onto the ground.

Someone accidentally touched our HomePod and couldn’t. see. how. to stop it.

So they just turned the volume down and it played on repeat for 8 hours

“I can't help you with that while you’re in the car”

I mostly use Siri in the car, and I’m on the 18.2 beta, so take this all with a grain of salt…

But Siri’s actually getting good at answering questions by searching the web and just quoting an answer to you? And quoting the source?

I’ll take that for “world knowledge”

Apple holiday party was a success

Trumang!

Oh good my Agatha Harkness costume arrived just in time for Halloween

whither blue eyeshadow? I miss my cue-chalk gals

watching the Alien prequels and soatchcocking a turkey and there are some… parallels

every algorithm thinks I’m a woman and I’m ok with it
