every day recently i've grown a little closer to being the polycule admin archetype. gabby is only the only beneficiary though

me: why is it pacific standard time? we’re not in the pacific. it should be western standard time gabby: yeah, and EST isn’t atlantic standard time. hm. i’ve never thought about that before gabby: central time isn’t even central, it’s actually a bit right of center me: just like all centrists

there are two kinds of people. people who look at this and say "coooool i should climb down there" and people who say "i don't think so"

The cultural shift in western media to only cover what things *look like* instead of what things *are* is a direct result of the passionate desire among uneducated, scared people to have an authoritarian tell them how to be. The result is authoritarianism. Wow. Big shocker.

“mistakes” aren’t the thing that make your work human it’s the humanity in it. the feeling. the fucking verve. if you’re still shooting for the middle but you throw a couple typos in there i still will not give a shit! say something from that corner of your heart that hurts to look directly at

hot take of the day: the existence of macros in a programming language tells you its type system is massively insufficient. there is never such a thing as a good macro

it's not just that means testing unfairly gatekeeps care from people on the edges of the economic goldilocks zone. the logic ripples out through culture and influences how we talk about poverty, race, and disability. we do not talk about helping people without first talking about who not to help.

the woke liberal map app keeps telling me to “keep left”, but i’m a free thinker and no robot is gonna tell me which lane to drive in
