Many people know that if you mix ammonia and chlorine bleach it forms a deadly gas. But not everybody knows that if you make a sandwich and use both mayo and Miracle Whip, the same thing happens.

Just finished Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman and it's an antidote to a lifetime spent on Getting Things Done and an endless cycle of trying to do *waves hand* everything.

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up 78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

I work all day every day in AI. I like it, it's interesting, and we're working to build something that will do something helpful.

However, I am 100% realistic about how good AI really is and so is this truly excellent article about AI + coding: mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the...

Extrajudicial execution of alleged drug traffickers, invasion of Chicago, moving a Space Force that doesn't do shit to another state. All important stuff that points to why we must release all of the Epstein files.

The huge head the size of Zozobra sits behind Rockelle and me in this photo. He's made of cloth and wood, painted to be scary.

Zozobra burns tonight! This is him a week ago and tonight he's all set up with his body attached in in Santa Fe ready for his big moment later tonight! #zozobra #oldmangloom

"Gentlemen prefer blondes" : The illuminating diary of a professional lady by Loos Free kindle book and epub digitized and proofread by volunteers.

Um. It’s great that someone “reissued” this public domain novel but let’s just encourage people to go download it for free instead: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/66829

I only watch movies like this with a host and two robots making fun of it from the front row.

Mockup of a new MadGamesLab Home page. It features a "bento box" style with rounded corners and two cards for the two games currently on the site ("Poker Square" and "Poker Square Nx3").

I hate how ugly the existing MadGamesLab.com site is, so I'm working on a new design that I'm hoping won't make your eyes bleed. Hint: The new design would be something like this mockup.

Banning "White Fragility" is like chef's kiss for a complete lack of self awareness.

Elon workshopping new party names, “How about National Socialist American Workers’ Party?”

A completed game of Poker Square Nx3 on a phone. Scores are achieved for each row and column in the 5x5 grid of playing cards.

A few years ago I created a daily puzzle/game over at MadGamesLab.com and today I've added a new version I call Poker Square Nx3 (madgameslab.com/psnx3). I hope you enjoy it.

JPMorgan Internal Memo Shows Morale Took a Hit on Return to Office The results of JPMorgan Chase’s latest internal opinion survey showed fewer employees than last year say they view their health and well-being as a corporate priority.

Vibe management is absolutely just as effective as vibe coding.

Mark My Words: Very few foreigners will fly into, stay in, or attend matches in the US during World Cup 2026

I don't know if you'll see empty seats, but actual non-native attendees in the stadiums will be a fraction of what they are in Mexico or Canada.

Always appreciate ratings from people who have never played a game and never will. They contribute so much to BGG.

"We have always been at war with Elon Musk." - coming soon from Stephen Miller/Joseph Goebbels

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

I’m hoping that the US makes it through the next few years without going the way of the Roman Empire (no guarantees). But, shouldn’t we start working on a Project 2029 plan just in case? Some checklist of what to do to undo four years of damage?

I feel seen.

I want the United States to be a force for good throughout the world, to set examples, and to help other countries. But apparently our only role now is to be a cautionary tale and keep others from electing their own right wing pseudo Nazis. So... you're welcome?

To be fair, I can think of at least one funeral I am *really* looking forward to.

A 10x Faster TypeScript - TypeScript Embarking on a native port of the existing TypeScript compiler and toolset to achieve a 10x performance speed-up.

I’ve never been the world’s biggest TypeScript fan, but I use it now more than ever and the prospect of it being 10x faster for linting or transpiling will help so many devs: devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/t...

Aimee Mann - She's so great!

The cover of Ed Emberley's book "Make a World". It is covered with dozens of tiny ink and color drawings of everything from stick figure characters to animals, vehicles, and buildings.

We had very little money when I was a kid, so the library was everything. Magic books were priority one, but I also really liked Ed Emberley's drawing books. He had several books like this one which were about drawing lots of stuff super simply. I saw one at the resale shop the other day.

A piece of open source software just got name checked as a major contributor to the success of an Oscar winning animated film. Wow.

I'm going to say some bad words now. So you might want to not read this...

No Kristi Noem, you stupid piece of shit, I do not congratulate your moron boss (or you) for anything. He is a pathetic embarrassment in need of commercials to stroke his ego. Please die soon. Preferably in a fire.
