Perhaps it’s like a snail shell or a rhinoceros horn - keratin? calcium? etc but with enough texture that it’s glossy almost like hair

Cat illustration

My cat

the pair of nesting crows in the tree across from my porch went to hang out on the roof of the bar across the street.

just because you're married doesn't mean you can't go on romantic dates anymore!

my hair does a swoosh on one side when it is shorter, corresponding to how i sleep on my side 😵‍💫

looks cute!!!

Happy (belated) lunar new year!

Yokohama in Yakuza: Like A Dragon is basically Baltimore. And that means Chicken del Sol is basically Ekiben.

if you work at Palantir and you think the company is evil, you can probably just leave! treat it like a well-paid, evil master's degree on your resume!

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

"はあ?", especially with in a nasal and incredulous way is where it's at for me

New Vega & Ko comic, after three years of hiatus.

Read from the beginning: vegako.webcomic.ws/comics/1

Thanks! Next is nothing, I'm going to stop working for the next 6 months to recover my mental health

I have submitted my two weeks' notice for my job

I would like to quit my job

It's wild that they have so many conventional markers of status (wealth, education, access to nice dinners) and they still feel insecure about not being American for the white silicon valley man at the top of the hierarchy

I was hosting a friend from Japan and apparently she had never eaten or seen a nectarine before???

I'll eat both peaches and nectarines, but I feel like yellow nectarines are peak because of the lack of fuzz

we don't hire developers who don't use AI

weird flex where author takes a sweaty, desperate candidate and tells them they'll make a motivational linkedin story about them

guy thinks LLM tutorial was the best part of his weekend

lady forgives skip-level manager for texting her "I love you" in a work chat

I have a policy on LinkedIn to add everybody who adds me. As a result I think I should start amassing a(n anti-) trophy room of the best(worst) posts I've seen

without her baby photos, I can only assume my cat sprang fully formed at two years old from the forehead of her parent a la Athena and landed her ass immediately in Oakland Animal Shelter

white people yearning for cultural knowledge...

Japanese salaries are way lower than that of the US across most industries and roles. I received an entry level software job offer from a Japanese company that would have paid me half of that of a company in SF!

Japan minimum wage ranges from 900-1100 yen - enough to get a cheap lunch, maybe

People weirdly see Miyazaki as apolitical and happy vibes even tho war is in the backdrop of a lot of his work
