Extra Life | Change Kids' Health, Change the Future I'm raising funds with #EXTRALIFE for kids treated at my Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! I need your help to reach my fundraising goal. Please donate today to change kids' health.

Some of y'all know @peruvianidol.com from #designsystems stuff. Mike's doing a 24-hour stream raising money a children's hospital. He's ~$1500 away from his goal. It'd be cool if you could help out and pitch in a few bucks.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Please understand that although I probably would like THING you have recommended for me, I can only start a new THING when the committee of brain goblins approve it. I am not on the committee, I do not get a vote

Boss, weโ€™ve got a problem. Users donโ€™t want this stuff! They keep wanting to turn it off, even when we keep turning it back on!

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Organising gets the goods.

Now here's hoping they reinstate the employees they fired for protesting their original wrong-headed decision.

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity.

That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

If someoneโ€™s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner thatโ€™s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

Weird, iPadOS 26 has killed 3D game performance on my M1 iPad Air (What the Car?).

May be worth holding off upgrading for a bit.

I thought I didn't like Metroidvania games. I might be a bit traumatized by endlessly getting lost in Metroid on the NES as a kid.

Giving Hollow Knight a shot, and it's been surprisingly fun.
