Fantastic laser show at County Mall and great to meet you @seblee.me. Really enjoyed it!

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I’m not sure if that’s a downgrade or an upgrade from the falcons at your wedding!

😅

Yeah sorry didn’t realise I had to do proper syntax in a post hehe

Thanks! It’s weird because I’m sure I added preventdefault years ago but iOS safari is terrible for changing everything all the time

Honestly it’s so old I’m surprised it works at all!

If you would like one let me know. I probably need to sell some haha

Hey! I never actually used any modern plotters! But I have so many Rolands from the 80s. Super solid and reliable.

Portrait of Jer Thorp on stage

If you're planning an event this year, whether it be a full-fledged conference, a focused seminar, or a cozy retreat, here's a not-very-subtle reminder: You can hire me to speak!

James Harvey III, Tuskegee airman, leader of the team that won the US military's first aerial gunnery competition for combat aviators. AKA, Top Gun. James Harvey is a handsome Black man in WW2 uniform with an indomitableble look of calm confidence.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner🤡

Hey I called it

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Bit late to this but what a jaw dropping thread...

Cc @simonwillison.net if you two don’t know each other you should!

A Komik Trips comic of a frog sitting at a table, starting to write a letter. The second frame is the letter with "Jan 1, 2024" with the 4 crossed out for a 5. The usual new year mistake.

So it begins

As we enter a new year, here's a message to all my trans followers, readers and friends. You are valid. You deserve respect. You deserve healthcare. You deserve love. You deserve to live in a world in which people are treated as individuals, and without prejudice. You deserve acceptance.

Me too! It’s great to have all these resources in one place. Although I will need to do c++ versions!

I read it a while ago so memory is a bit hazy. As others have said, the last part changes radically. I remember it being quite interesting and thought provoking, if not that enjoyable haha

This is incredible, thank you

Today I get to *not* code yayyyyyy 😅

Glad to hear it 😅

Ouch! Seems a little mean and not particularly helpful. Unless they actually are gibberish, which I doubt.

It's that time of year where I post this one

Every podcast I don’t listen to is called “Achieving the Limit with Duff and Ween” and gets sold for 300 million dollars while every podcast I do listen to is called “The Movie Toilet” and begs me to buy a t shirt so they can eat food
