Ninja and canon should be their own plurals.

Maybe I missed it, but has anyone seen anything from a member of ICE saying that they’re not sure they aren’t taking things too far? They’re starting to feel like the secret police.

I’m over here treating a plastic bag like a toy and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.

Wow. Incredibly fun hockey game between Umich and Ohio State!

No feeling like the feeling you feel when you feel guilty about not feeling guilty enough.

I eliminated pop in favor of milk and water and it turns out my life is meaningless without Dr. Pepper.

Every vegetable I buy is aspirational

Another fan here of ruby without rails. Run it in jruby and you can get some decent speed (I mean, relatively speaking). I think a lot of people who say they like python really like simple scripts that mostly call out to NumPy.

Back in the olden days, I put a phone on top of my computer. You know, the old kind, with a clapper that goes back-and-forth, driven by a magnet.

God I wish my work would let us do something substantial in elixir.

Erlang and systemd — the two most user-friendly and beloved technologies in the whole wide world :)

You know, back before docker and kubernetes and every application running its own database in a container where you ALSO manage the Linux distribution on that container, other people did all that shit for me. And they knew what they were doing.

Great point.

Man, if that game was anything like the arcade version, all you gotta do is throw backwards, elbows and wait for the credits.

I regularly work in Ruby, Java, kotlin, and now Python and elixir, and the tooling around Python is far and away the most frustrating of any of those experiences. I don’t understand how Python “won“ in the low–ceremony scripting lane with things as bad as they are.

My kid’s continuous insistence that I MUST know this next Kendrick Lamar song it’s kind of heartwarming. It’s nice when even my 16-year-old can’t believe I’m as old and out of touch as I am.

I’ve discovered that the only way for me to get it right is to measure three times and not cut it all.

I’m sleeping in College Kid’s room side I have COVID. My wife apparently takes the whole “side of the bed” thing pretty seriously.

Folks, if you want to stop using Amazon or sell your Tesla or whatever to make a political statement of some kind, great, but don’t pretend it’s going to hurt Bezos or Musk. Take away 99% of their wealth and they still have more money than they could ever spend. You can’t hurt them that way.

Picked up COVID from somewhere and didn’t wake up until 4PM. Keep safe out there, everyone.

Sometimes I think that if we could just get everyone together with some chicken pot pie and a 2L of Dr. Pepper things would cool down.

I’m just going to head into the shower until January 2029.

Hah! Canadian tariffs on us? Good luck living a full life without Bud Light and Log Cabin syrup!!

Everyone's talking about "marching in the streets" or "trying to stay optimistic," but where are all my fellow "jam it down deep inside of you and plan on having a heart attack at a young age" people?

I’m convinced no one prefers brown rice in a non-performative way.

GitHub is having intermittent issues with pull requests. Better take the rest of the day off.

I don’t know if I’m more shocked that I’m still up this late, or how I’m still surprised by every single freaking night.

WIFE: Hurry up or we'll get caught in the rain.

ME: [sipping a pina colada] I would like that.

Got confused for a minute and thought that (D)avid (K)arol was a trend.

There’s also essentially nothing unix-y I can’t do in a shell on my Mac. Other than run Docker without gobs of overhead…
