Okay everyone it's been a minute so let's get this right off the bat: HAGER rhymes with LAGER

Every slack I’m in right now has that one guy who won’t shut up about his fleshlight. How they use it for everything and it’s the future and people who don’t get on board with it are going to be left behind and how do you know if you’ve never tried it bro why won’t you debate fleshlights with me bro

Quick clarification that I also have not taken any incriminating photos of Matt Mullenweg doing anything at Burning Man that might negatively impact shareholder value, and neither have any of my friends.

<apple> announces variable aperture cameras in their phones <the people trying to sell me complicated mounting solutions for variable neutral density filters> dammit

[sadly] …pation

[opening browser] let’s find some things to worry about

Anyone I know who speaks both Spanish and English: what’s the pun in the drag queen name “Keena Mandrah”?

Atlassian is genuinely one of the most embarrassing SaaS platforms I’ve ever used, and dealing with their absolute trainwreck billing system is a strong indication that you should not trust any of their products.

Harbingers of Apple’s doom, #92: Autocorrect insistently inserting an apostrophe in “harbinger’s” when you’re already three sentences away.

Harbingers of Apple’s doom, #725: Their entire gaming platform has a notification infrastructure that is not subject to the built-in iOS notification management and cannot be controlled by it.

Harbingers of Apple’s doom, #2,645: Selling ads to competitors that appear above every App Store listing.

Endless interference from the worst people you’ve ever met has finally succeeded in turning Mercury Lane back into a road.

Hear me out: clown nose.

A lot of jurisdictions have laws that realistic-looking toy firearms must have a bright orange barrel tip, to reduce law enforcement enthusiasm for killing children. My modest proposal is you can wear whatever perv glasses you want, but they must have a bright orange warning stripe across the front.

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

For sale. Clown shoes. Never worn.

There’s a solid 2% of the human population who hold an unassailable belief that certain mouth noise word sounds are Actually Extremely Very Bad, Actually, and they all seem to be in a constant state of bewilderment that no on shares their beliefs.
