The gate agent just told us we have 192 days of Christmas shopping left and I was so upset I had to share it along to you all.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

I am irrationally excited. I’ve wanted a new Stuntman for ages and assumed it’d never happen.

Stuntman: Hollywood will feature vehicles from real-world franchises like Back to the Future

I saw an ad for a board game on Kickstarter today and thought “I don’t need that, I have enough that are similar” I’ve been feeling like a midlife crisis is imminent — is this it?? 🧐

I got my first tattoo today! It’s super nerdy and also has some fairly deep meaning for me beyond what I can get into on a social media post. So much appreciation for @xolasartstudio.bsky.social for such an amazing piece. 🥰

It's taken me ages but finally, put together _something_ of a mess of a personal website again. Also can't believe I didn't think to do this with opengraph / favicon stuff ages ago. briansinclair.dev

Whether slack and/or discord, the last few places I’ve worked had an ex-employees chat that we generally congregated in. This is the first time I’ve seen a news article written about one, though. #unprecedentedtimes #aitookmyjerb www.businessinsider.com/block-layoff...

Laid off by Block, reunited on Slack: Inside the 3,800-person 'Square Mafia'

Former Block employees congregate in an unaffiliated Slack group to share support, find new jobs, and trade memes. It's grown since recent layoffs.

sure is weird to try and hunt for a job when all <vague gestures> this is happening It's like a mental assault on every level and I've felt sore and tired for a few days now

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

Tom Holland and Zendaya are now married, says stylist Law Roach (via: @accesshollywood.bsky.social)

It’s so weird to be part of layoffs that are like major tech news apparently and not like when it was Indeed, where it was just yet another layoff in tech. Weird to hear people debating it all and seeming to disregard the humanity of those cut.

Block was a really great place to work for the past four months. Unfortunately, I’m part of today’s 40% layoff. If you need an old hand at web stuff, who has staff software engineering experience at multiple international corporations, hit me up. ❤️

Relatedly, here is a tiny GoFundMe for rent relief for families in a mobile home park. They’re not asking for much. Please let’s get it fully funded.

this is the stupidest thing and it absolutely undid me

Love running a review of my Vim configuration and being told I have settings that have been unnecessary for like 20 years Then realizing I’ve used Vim for over half my lifetime

Me: dang, I can’t remember this key piece of info. Ugh. My brain: sorry, best I can do is this 90s commercial jingle Also Me: ooh, I can’t remember that awful person’s name anymore. That’s awesome. My brain: actually it’s <name> Why am I like this

I couldn’t remember my luggage combo but I forced it closed, knowing I could brute force my way in at the hotel. I started at 000, then 001, 002 etc This was the combo.

I need a better void to scream into, nothing I have is working well.

Fuser (a rhythm game from a few years ago) apparently still works well on the Switch 2! youtu.be/X-ABN67a-ak

I am walking down the street at 10pm in Hakone, in Japan. It is mostly dark and quiet, and I am alone. I feel so relaxed and peaceful, a small reprieve to myself at the end of a challenging day. My final destination of 7-11 awaits, where I will get supplies to soothe my child’s cold.

I started a new job today, and it's kind of amazing the level of comfort that brings. I'd been employed for 22 years straight (ignoring weekends between jobs) and losing mine in July was jarring. However, it also seems like it was maybe the best thing for me.

Friday 9/19 at 9AM Mountain Time I am giving out 20 gift cards to nora.jewelry to trans people who want some wearable art but can't afford to buy it for any reason. You're going to want to bookmark nora.jewelry/pages/we-wan... and set an alarm.

Nothing special, I do that too

Google has acknowledged that sometimes when Gemini can’t solve a problem it descends into a pit of self loathing. Examples of its comments include - "I have failed you. I am a failure" - “I am a disgrace to my species” - "I have made so many mistakes that I can no longer be trusted."

- 1 jumper at a time - No somersaults Yeah. This is how you do it.

I wrote a whole ton of random little experimental things using JS in like 2008, 2009, and I'm now working on creating a new personal website, and it's kind of a weird wild blast from the past to look at this code that had like, IE8 polyfills and jQuery 1.7 and such

I don't suppose I know anyone who works at @discord.com? Genuinely interested in applying for discord.com/jobs/8058456... and would love to chat with someone about it.

Today is the first day that I’ve been unemployed without another job lined up since 2003. That’s a weird feeling.
