Just finished Mark Martin’s “Never Lift” autobiography. Great read for any #NASCAR or racing fan. Now back to Dungeon Crawler Carl.

That being said, I LOVE Vivaldi. It’s probably the best browser I’ve ever used. I appreciate Mozilla for Firefox and what they bring to the web ecosystem and still try to use them too, but Vivaldi is my favorite these days.

Good post. I don’t disagree either. I use Firefox Focus on mobile and am trying desktop again. I did turn the AI stuff off though. www.newsonaut.com/articles/han...

I created my first AI Discord bot that connects to Llama 3.2 to talk with you! I had been wanting to do this for awhile, so I sat down over the span of a few days to read, learn, and build. kyaaron.github.io/aaron-blog/#... #ai #coding #learning #discord

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

Very excited for RFK Racing (not named after the guy) and Ryan Preece who get a HUGE win at Daytona today. Good to see the team back in the winners circle. And yes I feel I have to always clarify now that it's not named after the guy. Frustrating but that's how it goes. #nascar

Most players played like they really wanted that roster spot. Great game to watch. And mad props to DG who took advantage of every opportunity this game. What a half he had. #Browns

Three things that #NFL officiating still fails to define and call with any sense of stability: pass interference, roughing the passer, and what an actual catch is. They just can't get it right.

There comes a time when booing is appropriate. When a team or player crosses the line to abysmal, with the cost of attending sports games these days, it’s appropriate. And the Browns blew past that line. I’m all in on the fans who want better. #Browns

The “hide repost in feeds” is my favorite part of Bluesky now.

Cut Watson. Don’t even have him as a backup. Gabriel or Green can be QB2. I know his contract is guaranteed and all. Pay him and cut him. #Browns

I've been building my first Discord bot using Python this week. I've been wanting to do it for awhile and finally got one working.

I usually don’t go after @npr.org for bad posts, but asking what AI can learn in this situation is not the right question.

A 29-year-old woman confided her suicidal thoughts to an AI chatbot — not to her therapist, not to her parents, not to her best friend. What can AI learn from her death? n.pr/4gn9Zvv

AI made everyone faster at producing things nobody verified.

Today’s #Browns preseason game showing what we already knew - there will be no winner of this QB competition. There will only be losers and they are us Browns fans who will have to suffer through QB incompetence for yet another wasted season.

Nearly killed the entire party for the first time in DnD last night. I had to pull out some stops to keep it going. I have never rolled so many nat 20 attack rolls and high damage in my life 😂

What's been wild to see is the immense pricing decreases for coding bootcamps. When I was getting into it, every bootcamp was near $20,000. Now? Most are $13,000 at most. App Academy's upfront tuition now is just $3,500.

Been enjoying the new music from Olivia Rodrigo and ROLE MODEL (whose new album is really really good). It's been good to calm me down on the hard days and/or when I'm stuck in traffic getting cut off by taxi drivers.

I've been impressed with @freecodecamp.bsky.social 's new curriculum over the past 1.5 years. Backend content was just released, and the Python content is basically Computer Science 101. It's been really good.

Great article from my morning reading today. Worth time to read. blog.senko.net/code-was-nev... #coding #ai #softwaredevelopment

"Code was never the hard part" is an insult to all programmers

Rest easy Glen Hansard. I really enjoy his rendition of Marvin Gaye’s “Don’t do it.”

Vader Episode II from SW Theory was really good. I won't spoil anything, but the plot/ending is definitely something I've been wanting to see more of in SW lore/legends storytelling. #starwars

Brickyard 400 attendance wasn't great. They used to pack it out in Indy. NASCAR is making strides I think, but they still have a ways to go. #nascar

Um...don't do it lol. Pick literally any other team. This ownership group is going nowhere anytime soon. #Browns www.dawgsbynature.com/cleveland-br...

Cleveland Browns: What advice would you give to a new fan?

If someone told you they were planning to become a Browns fan, what would you tell them?

Dungeon Crawler Carl is a fun series. On book 2 now (about 30% in) and have been loving it. I need this to be a video game.

mass layoffs at Pixar despite Toy Story 5 about to cross $1 billion at the box office. there is simply no amount of money that will make corporations happy enough to not upend people’s lives.

Pixar Bears Brunt of Disney Studio Layoffs as Company Axes Several Hundred Staffers

Pixar Animation Studios, despite riding high on the success of summer blockbuster "Toy Story 5," was hit particularly hard in a wave of corporatewide layoffs at Disney.

Disappointed to hear that @firefox.com caved and is back on X because "the internet is changing" (but didn't say how it's changing). Market share is a premium for them, and I am pretty sure this isn't going to help their case.

Avengers trailer looks really good. I know it's about time they retire a lot of the cast, but hopefully the upcoming Avengers movies give everyone the swan song they deserve.

MLS clubs and the league office collectively have marketing budgets well into the tens of millions of dollars, but if it was 0 I'm not sure anyone would notice the difference

In KC, Sporting is getting smoked by KC Current in promotion. Current are everywhere, no sign of Sporting marketing efforts. Seems to be a nationwide trend…
