I'm sorry to see the easiest, friendliest, least stressful, most welcoming way to create for the web come to an end.

I'm sorry for the teachers, students, and creators who we're forcing to find another home for their work.

I'm sorry for what the web lost today.

About a half-hour ago I deployed the change that stopped traffic to Glitch projects.

A major chapter of my life (and a small-but-cool part of the geography of the internet) closes.

The administration of "I bet I'm smart enough to do that job with zero background or training."

do i trust the owner of these files? FUCK no.

ummmm

...

no?

If you’re a Wisconsin voter, you have the chance to strike a blow against Musk’s Department of Greed and Evil by voting to keep the WI Supreme Court in control of justices concerned with the rule of law and justice for the underrepresented.

A vote for Crawford is a vote for fairness and equality.

I usually give Gruber the benefit of the doubt when he spouts technical nonsense like this but my man doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about here.

Finished Netflix’s No Good Deed last night. Enjoyable but not as good as maybe it could have been (pretty typical of Lisa Kudrow’s post-Friends stuff, I think).

Best line from the series is in the last episode:

Him: “I love you.”
Her: “Thanks.”

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

But if I have the cheese planer in my hand and my elbow is “acting up” then a hike across the kitchen for the wire-cutter is NBD.

This can be a complicated calculation. Convenience can be a factor; if I have to get up off the floor to go get the hammer there’s a darn good chance this screwdriver handle will do just fine TYVM.

I've reached the point in my life where I pick the tool for a specific household task not based on appropriateness to desired outcome, or even necessarily convenience, but instead based on how much relative pain it will cause me.

I wonder what the DevRel Marketing value of a brand's presence in a popular project's "Trusted By" section is?

Micro.blog offers some of these features for $5-$10 USD and I’ve been considering it, so I guess that’s my personal threshold.

I am definitely carrying too much constant anger in me

That’s 100# of ice. Five big bags. On January 2nd with temperatures in the teens.

Fellow Wisconsinites have you received your January ice delivery yet?

Nine years on Thanksgiving day.

Didn’t “celebrate” on the day this year, and almost forgot to recognize it at all in 2024.

Maybe it’s time to stop counting?

There. FTFY.

Almost never isn't an exaggeration, the proportion of folk in positions of significant power who didn't get there through privilege is tiny, an anomaly

:scream: a CAT5E cable innocently disguised as a useful cable.

The riskiest part of using refurb network gear.

I mean seriously those little fuckers are going to kill me.

Diagram with large number: 2.7.123 First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

The fact that I can send an email to support@yourfuckedupcompany.com does **not** mean that you offer 24/7 support.

Someone needs to actually be on the other end 24/7 for that to be true.

Those two narrators are the absolute best. The way they brought _The Wheel Of Time_ to life (not to mention _Stormlight_) took the experience to the next dimension.

**So** good.

I mean, I don't disagree that it's pretty awful to use (although what "enterprise wiki software" offers a good experience? I suppose Notion isn't *terrible*). But I'm full of hugops for the folks who have to deal with the attacks or have been exposed. As you say, they didn't choose this.

God, I love libraries. Do you know that NYPL has an entire database of menus of major hotels/restaurants in the city organized by decade? menus.nypl.org

Historical fiction writers, this is just...amazing.
