A screenshot of me texting "someone has a pet rat in the coffee shop. Correction: two pet rats"

Further correction: it was three pet rats

the devs say they're so mad about all the "phone in pool" and "vibe coding" jokes they're turning images off until we all apologize and admit that they're actually really smart and cool and we like them

well so
mirai takes things over that have low admin password settings, and then uses them to reproduce itself to DDoS basically anything by overproducing noise and other request copies of itself

openclaw installs itself on people and gets them to do the same thing by causing productivity anxiety

thanks i have no clarifications at this time

okay this is an excellent joke thank you

openclaw looks like the mirai botnet for human brains

arab spring for thee but not for me, eh

this was like the only thing my limewire would grab from the dorm network at mac in the 2000s, the worst quality imaginable

i keep that one in the same mental slot i place "the plot of alien, a film i have not seen"

oh my god _undergrads_

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

for me it's because the Use Cases as demonstrated are all based in an absence of respect for whatever kind of work is being replaced

lack of time
lack of understanding
lack of interest

so it becomes a flexibly detached performance of quality, nonconsensual manipulation

same as other pretenses

And like, i can't pick them out immediately; it swells up like bad water from a drain, a sense that something is too long, a little too clean, a little too hollow

a clause here an overstrong argument there

and then just

pop

like knowing for a fact he dosed your drink and you gotta get out

I presented on the conditional structures as team structures just once, at UofT, before i came down here, but damn if the pattern-making/seeing really isn't like

the most basic human thing, just a very core way of seeing what is and is not threatening

ive been internally fascinated this year about how reading or looking at enough Generated Materials _does_ give me The Ick, just like i used to be able to pick out dysfunctional software teams from their conditional structures

read enough of it and The Ick of pattern-matching a threat will just turn up!

Picking up my phone like “wat??”

the internet's worst madeleine

narrative systems design people: do you consider your work more in the category of wordcel or shape rotator? why?

i dunno pal im in the wmata with earplugs in _right now_ for the shrieking

extremely valid complaint

I just genuinely love midsummer! I think it is stronger than some other scripts and offers a lot of comedic range

yeah, i've had companies collapsing out from under me for so long i came to the US only to discover it's contract work precarity all the way down even at major research universities

tried to solve this exact issue by planning ahead, working w tailor, only to receive email after 8wks:

"we know you ordered half-lined but would you accept fully lined because thats what we made"

a text precision engineered to fish me out of the internet howling

essentially if you don't respect them then it doesn't work so.. you'll talk to a couple and either they'll be someone you can talk to or they won't

therapy is a process of transference where you respect the other person and they ask you questions to think through your responses

it only works if you're looking for that type of guidance and to work on it, a lot of people wanna just be smarter than their doc and that doesn't work
