dogs serve one major purpose and it is to transport water from the water bowl, with their gaping maws, onto the hardwood floors

Dennis nedry jurrasic park "see nobody cares" meme reads Hey everybody, this guy still posts on X! See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.

This is hypocrisy and exclusion from @mls.bsky.social and @stlcitysc.com It really dampens my enthusiasm for the sport. Pro soccer was one of the few escapes I had from the state of the world and the creeping rise of fascism had to ruin it. Grow a spine and let people exist.

lately i've been thinking about how LLMs must feel really amazing to use if you're a dumbass, but incredibly frustrating if you're just basically competent in life.

Node.js finally includes the original input to the URL constructor for ERR_INVALID_URL errors! Feels like Christmas.

I do enjoy a media critique video essay. Thanks for dealing with content ID nonsense to put this out! I wish fair use was easier to actually use.

How do you know we're not inside the stomach of a cosmic whale shark right now?

RIP Ozzy Osbourne. You made my life richer and fuller. I'm going to miss the hell out of you.

I ran two different versions of #Python between my local instance and my deployed instance, so that will do it for mysterious bugs that hard to debug. I'm glad string delimiters are not so rigid in version 3.12. I want to be able to reuse double quotes on the fly and not break the app.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Dr. Who" or "Transformers".

Anybody see a #python app handle errors differently in the cloud as opposed to how you defined it locally? Maybe it's because of Microsoft service jankiness but I'm ticked off the machine in Azure doesn't behave and interact with services the way I expected, and I can't recreate it in the debugger

“Working class people around the world have no innate desire to go to war with each other. They have to be conned into it by the sociopaths who will profit from it.”

Your daily reminder that the U.S. Postal SERVICE is a service that is designed to benefit taxpayers and not a business that should be expected to turn a profit.

Bring home Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Being a big tech employee in 2025.

The switchboard will transfer you to your rep regardless of your district. It may be busy. Keep calling.

Okay, but why does it have playing cards and poker hands and to what end?

The most important thing I can tell everyone that I've learned from being a YouTuber who explains how stuff works is that each and every time I thought "this is common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained" I was wrong.

Today I learned in #Python ("email") is considered a string while ("email",) is considered a tuple. Why would I wrap a string in parentheses if I didn't want to make a tuple? Why add a useless comma?? Let me make a one entry tuple like I asked!

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

Now do the Macarena or else your academic career is over and gone.

Why stop there? You could pivot your career into professional poker tourneys. You're a professional actor already, I bet your poker face is stone cold.

They should add raytracing to Balatro

I am once again asking all project managers to allocate time and budget to implementing a dark mode for anything with a front end. Please spare my retinas.
