Just the orange baboon saying once again that this is for reals the really really really really last chance Iran has to avoid a really really really really bad outcome.

Every morning these days begins with the question of what the fuck am I going to do with all of these tomatoes? Today we’re going to make tomato jam, and then I have a whole bunch of cherry tomatoes that I haven’t decided yet, but I’m sure we’ll figure something out.

I mostly use ChatGPT to collect organize my thoughts without having to type things up, and then be able to recall. But it’s important to not get lazy as I just had it false remember a set of instructions involving my pool pumps, which could’ve damaged my system if I hadn’t questioned what it said. 

Awaiting the “OpenAI/Anthropic” hacking story where their lovable scamp agents takedown 20M Nest thermostats or 40M appliances in the middle of a heatwave/winter. Oopsie.

I think a lot of people tend to interpret AAPL through the wrong lens in how they view the iPhone as this one Trick pony they have to expand beyond. Our smartphones have without a doubt become the most important computing device of our lives. We simply cannot live without them. 🧵

Never imagined in my teens being told that we would reach peak creativity and educational achievement, and would halt encouraging people to be further educated and instead just everyone becomes a plumber because “computers”. What are we doing?

Every Tik Tok garden video: and here’s how to increase your tomato yield this year —- no thank you, I’ve got kilos and kilos of them already. What am I opening a restaurant?

I did manage to get some of our tomatoes done today. Roasted, canned cherry, puttanesca, romana sauce frozen, and two trays of frozen tomatoes. Now I just have like 800 eggplant and zucchini.

Also, by the way, the garden center mislabeled cucumbers as melons, so I now have planted six times the amount of cucumbers your average human being could ever consume in the course of two years, and I have zero melons. I learned this when I saw a strange, looking melon resembling a cucumber.

Gardens be like: hey here’s one bean and two zucchini for you to enjoy. Four weeks later: here are all the vegetables an entire school of children could possibly eat in the course of a year and they’re already today. I’ve had to buy two extra freezers.

The orange bloat in the White House basically says we’ve destroyed the Iranian military, and yet can’t seem to convince the Iranian military of this, nor the ships that need to pass through the strait.

My old man ”when I was a kid uphill both ways” story is would get my paycheck every other week and then drive 30 miles to the closest record store. That’s how hard we had it in my day.
