Somebody in the comments was like "flame war sounds so corny though" YES THAT'S THE POINT, "discourse" gives what amounts to turbo-dorks arguing on the internet (I'm one of them I'm allowed to use that term) an unearned veneer of legitimacy.

don’t believe that the weather is perfect the day that you die

it's on miro. it's literally on figma. you have to log into okta. it's in jira. it's on zoom. it's on pureref. it's on flow. it's on perforce. it's on slack. you can find it on slack. you can go to slack and find it. log onto slack right now. you can slack it. slack has it for you. it's on slack.

If my wrist is broken, I’m allowed to go to sleep as soon as dark mode turns on, right?

I could talk for hours and still not feel like I’ve fully explained the impact on my life that Hybrid Theory has had. Happy 25th to the only record ever.

Apple I am begging. If you are not going to replace previous album versions with deluxe editions. Please make it easier for me to add individual discs from the six disc box set when I already have two of them in my library and they have some of my highest playcounts.

Mr. Mamdani gave a broad smile and said yes. “I’ve purchased marijuana at a legal cannabis shop,” he said. Mr. Sliwa said that he had used medical marijuana after he was shot in a taxi in 1992. “When I was shot five times and I got Crohn’s disease, I did use medical marijuana, yes,” Mr. Sliwa said. Mr. Cuomo’s answer was terse. “No,” he said grimly.

lol

The salmon swim upstream! Inning 15 begins again. No runs are lost.

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

Really looking forward to waking up in my bed in eight hours and telling all my friends about this really cool dream I had where me and my friends flew to Tampa for twenty hours to see Underoath with 48 hours notice.

It’s empty in the terminal and yet I could still get a burger at 5am if I really wanted to. Florida can have exactly one right and it’s that TPA is a proper nice airport.

Spent $400 flying to Tampa to get punched in the face in the Generation No Surrender breakdown pit and I genuinely could not be any fucking happier.

The adrenaline of this being a deeply stupid idea is going to power me through the next 36 hours until I’m back in my apartment again.

happy new year, repent your sins, apologize to people, eat a lot

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

charlie kirk has received infinitely more sympathy and support from liberals than every single trans person, immigrant, and palestinian combined

got my shots this morning and now I have a migraine so if I want to take advil PM and put on a 5 hour YouTube video at 7 o clock I can

It’s the time of night where I think about how nice it would be to live in Bushwick, open StreetEasy, look at some places, and then think about how much I love my one seat ride to WTC/Penn/Port Authority and get disheartened.

An image of a robot with a "NO" circle around it and the text "AI IS FOR LOSERS! REJECT FASCISM! THINK FOR YOURSELF! I CAN MAKE ART THAT'S UGLY AND BAD ALL BY MYSELF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"

Using this piece by @reallygoodwizard.bsky.social in my introductory lectures for my design students.

I want a Roomba.

I hope I never lose the feeling of wonder that I actually live here.

It feels like a major paradigm shift in my way of interacting with the world that Silksong is going to exist within it imminently.

I really miss getting to partake in the art of system architecture more often. There’s an art and a beauty to designing a clean and simple system, to painting with structure, that goes entirely uncared for these days. I miss it.

I think the battery on my Apple Watch Series 4 is finally ready to fully give up. People who have paid any attention to product lines lately, is it worth waiting for the next announcement? We think anything critical is being added to the hardware?

jk rowling uses her considerable wealth and platform to harm trans people, and she seeks to make our lives unlivable. licensing and selling merchandise based on harry potter actively contributes to this, both financially and, as jkr has stated she believes, idealogically as well.

I don’t think watching Game Changer has taken so much out of me in so long. But I’m delighted that it did. Sam Reich, everyone.

the abyss can go fuck itself

"healing isn't linear" ok but it should be. i should be better every day until i reach 100% and then keep going, becoming unstoppably, supernaturally healthy

What is “Hell yes Ken Jennings”?

Went to/in the ocean for the first time in years tonight. I love the ocean. The ocean also pulls everything out of me. There’s magic in that water and it wants to keep me.
