Me, hands above head, celebrating another long Patriots touchdown.

CBS cuts to Bob Kraft with the head tit from Barstool as a guest.

/puts hands down, scowls.

Today is the 25th anniversary of me getting paid to write code. That feels weird. But good.

Mel Stride kvetching about charging EV drivers.

“What problems are you actually interested in solving?” - a question that I’m not sure most of our current crop of politicians could answer.

While I appreciate it as a traffic warning, something about CAUTION: VOTING AHEAD hits different this election cycle. "Democracy is dangerous" and all that.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Having “known” you since way way back in the Metafilter days, I immediately read this as an incident at a funeral.

Would be a fun mistake if you were in the UK.

How is Mark Schelereth going to make that weary/ leery/ wary mistake and then bust out “alacrity” next quarter?

Our local Fox affiliate just bragged on expanding their “news product” and that sounds like what Orange Julius would call it.

Why can't the Dems pull their heads out of their asses and embrace the "Radical Left" label? Then put out content about A History of Radical Left Ideas that includes things like weekends, an end to child labor, OSHA, etc.?

Me after I tell my dad maybe capitalism sucks.

Was wondering if this is the first appearance of Market Basket on Hacker News. Apparently, not even close! hn.algolia.com?q=market+bas...

This Magic Moment

Lou Reed’s cover of “This Magic Moment” feels like someone trying to show off their Christopher Walken impression but they are blind drunk at a karaoke bar. open.spotify.com/track/5C4sfj...

Sure, just on a different Internet where people crave those stories instead of liking to jump into mobs and do battle about "What is it today again?". But I feel you.

Yeah, I feel really lucky because it pervaded the community so thoroughly. So many people who were involved wound up being forces for good and positivity. I wound up working alongside the guy who kept pip alive almost single-handedly and have tried to be the kind of mentor he was to me ever since.

there is no fear in America that informs policy so profoundly as the terror that we might accidentally afford someone human rights or dignity without first determining that they have earned those things; and, by extension, the idea that those things must be earned.

When I was picking between Rails and Django in 2007 (God help me), I picked Django because the Rails community was so toxic to "noobs" (I had been coding for 7 years at that point but was new to Ruby). To me, it was a direct reflection of DHH's attitudes.

Well don't I feel stupid

It's one of the main themes of Slapshot! as well, so it may be sports-universal.

Had to move the cars around yesterday for a wood delivery and now Brooks (big dog) has just noticed and has convinced Tina (Tina dog) we have guests and it's a madhouse and they won't believe that if we ever have guests at 6:50 in the morning it's going to be emergency services personnel.

Which member of the current active roster or practice squad is most likely to be lost to the Rapture?

To any of you folks in ICE who have the power to make people disappear without a trace: you have a chance to do the funniest thing the night between the 24th and 25th.

A different perspective

Behind a paywall but I am just gonna guess education vouchers are somehow involved and maybe it’s a bit of a grift.

Correction: 40 days. Like she was in the desert.

Apple featured me on their podcast app today and I feel like my look/pose is giving English teacher who tries to relate to her kids by using TikTok references

“And the cat came back the very next day.” Give or take three weeks. Definitely enjoyed pulling down her wanted posters.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵

An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

Sometimes I have dark thoughts. Like, “What is the suicide rate for Discover Card employees? Doesn’t that loser mentality grind on you?”

And Val Kilmer from Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang. The Iron Man nipples would be awesome.
