First season is absolutely fantastic. It breaks down a bit after that but Ted Lasso is a wonderful character. Like Rohan without the superpowers.

And earlier imo. He needed more time to turn from a guy happy to pick up towels to thinking he's God's gift.

Yeah and I just don't buy a guy who was working as a kit man at the start of the season turning that arrogant that quickly.

Finished Ted Lasso.
Great first season, solid third season.
Nate's arc didn't work, and I'm going to spend a lot of time figuring out why.

Ah, the sweet, sweet rewards of vibecoding.
I can't wait to chat to my friends about this!
Oh, wait, chat is broken again.

Pretty nice overview of the Hybrid Helix.
If you aren't reading it, you should start now, because book 9 is coming this year and it will blow your socks off.

I'm against generative AI but hot damn those Lego videos are fire.

Being someone who has multiple diseases and is disabled I really need people to stop calling things like racism, facism, AI, etc “a disease” or “an illness.” An illness/disease is something you don’t choose. It’s something that happens to you that you suffer from whether you want to or not. (1/?)

Announcing this today, on the day that we are (theoretically) sending humans back to the Moon, seems appropriate. April 1 is the best time for a Moon launch and also for the news that Elsie is going into space.

Best example of surge pricing was New Years Eve Ubers. They SHOULD charge more, and get more, to work NYE. Seems fair to me.

Surge pricing is not, imo, immoral. It make sense to charge more for services provided during high demand times.
Something about jacking up prices because your phone is low on charge seems different somehow, for reasons I can't quite articulate.
Will have to ponder this!

Kickstarter book add-ons that people don't utilize often enough:
1. open the doors on those closed door spicy scenes;
2. Audio in classic formats: vinyl, cassette, or 8-track.

What else?

There's this one guy at my job (I work at a multi-billion dollar company with thousands or tens of thousands of employees) whose outlook is set to notify EVERYONE every time he marks himself out of the office.
My man, figure it out.
