I Played 'The Boys Are Back in Town' on a Bar Jukebox Until I Got Kicked Out The boys were back in town, but I was out of the bar, because they asked me to leave.

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

It's existential. If they got rid of all the right-wing bot traffic on their sites, there would be no one left to sell ads to

The Allbirds pivot to AI reminds me of when Long Island Iced Tea Corp. renamed themselves Long Blockchain before being delisted and subsequently charged with insider trading

if you call Dave Gorman he could give you some ideas about this problem

It's easy to see this as incoherent economic policy, which it is, but it's actually meant as a techno-fascist dog whistle to encourage proactive deportation of people (you know, *those* people!) who shouldn't get money from the government

at least, unlike watson, the name isn't encumbered by countless ties to jeffrey epstein

oh no! the prometheus exporter claude wrote to report the system health issues that wiz categorically refuses to support alerts on didn't log 100% like i would have!

i wrote but never bothered to record a judas priest styled song about motorcycles that pump iron to get giant biceps and then they take their huge metal bike muscles and ride around in a thunderstorm while there's lightning all around

you insensitive claude

he only complains like this when he wants something. it's like his call waiting beep

I know people bristle at the idea of leftists who police language but a big reason it happens is because, especially as it relates to politicians, the language we choose serves as an entirely accurate predictor of the types of policy decisions we would make & who we would & wouldn’t place value on

"The car version of a YouTube thumbnail—this is designed for engagement, and God help you if you get it" had me rolling

you know, baron schwartz once called me the macaulay culkin of devops

great, enshittification even came for ken jennings! today it's the thesaurus, tomorrow the bottom half of every clue will be hidden behind a paywall

i know both the CT(P)O and VPE there. i found both to be a mixed bag as engineering leaders, but they're decent folk and not scammers

The very nice and accurate prophecies of R. A. Montgomery

this was one of the movies that thoroughly changed my life after seeing it on cable as a ten year old. never knew a movie could do that, be that way

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Hans Zimmer is a transphobe. A tweet reads "I worked for him. I did good work that he praised, but after transitioned he quickly had me fired. He had cue notes named "tr*nnv fight"' etc etc... It's a pattern of abuse that will inevitably come out over time, and I'm glad that the industry is changing slowly."
