After being a certified adult for well over a decade I am *still* shocked at the price of candles.

Guy who makes a letterboxd account to make a pithy one line review about how loud Godzilla Minus Zero was (loud enough to make me cry several times, this is a positive review).

the FP's olivia reingold was posting AI generated/edited images with misleading captions as a part of her election coverage

get fucked doomers you were always wrong and you always will be

If I were a DOGE guy, ICE agent, or any other administration goon who's been involved in some shady work over the past two years I'd be seriously thinking about stepping forward to inform on my colleagues before they inevitably do the same to me

I hate foamers, I'm just trying to find weird cast off trash from the NYC subway, why do you need to make old signs cost $2000?

"I hate gay Halloween" this, "I hate gay Halloween" that. I love gay Halloween I'm gay, I'm a pirate.

Thirstposting is internalized racism but we're not ready for that conversation.

Anyone who has spoken with me for two minutes knows that I come from a long line of pretty serious Catholics. My maternal grandfather went through seminary and was a priest and social worker before his stroke, my paternal was a devout Catholic, saying his prayers "were as regular as him." I wasn't.

A really beautiful consideration of death and remains. I have more thoughts but I'll spare Jay and put them in a different post.

So this Halloween, in between pumpkins and costumes and all the things we try to dress death up with in our modern inability to confront it, perhaps remember someone you loved, someone you think was a bit of a Saint, and know that they probably are a Saint after all.

Missing Dónal Lunny like a motherfucker

Diversity win: the mother who is pulling her daughter's hair while hitting her on the subway is a lesbian (her wife was helping).

If you work as a Lead UI/UX designer in NYC *please* get in touch with me, I'm renegotiating Everything in the face of a full overhaul of the department and need numbers.

Said the words "I think instructables was the last good social media site" to a coworker today and he made a sound like a dying man remembering the day he married the love of his life. The "creatorization" of the maker hobby space is a wound that still hasn't healed.

Being asked what our CA private key should be and holding up four fingers and saying "THIS MANY !!!!" with a big old grin on my face

Thinking about Finale: Children Will Listen from the Tony award winning musical Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim and the way it finds meaning in the best intentions of parents while also acknowledging that those choices made in kindness may cause unintended consequences with their children.

Today's random smile with a stranger was an old lady who I shared a laugh with over a dude rushing off the train leaving a full pack of cigarettes on the ground. "13 dollar mistake!" She laughed. "I'd throw them out the window but I'm too old to move that fast!" She said "be well you" as she left.

I think a lot of the "ai discourse" involves the general public realizing a) how little developers read things and b) how little developers are aware of human beings.

No, bombing Yandex has not impacted automated Russian trolling operations in the U.S.

The Dutch are such a baffling people. You gotta hand it to anyone who spent a thousand years battling back the very ocean and have nothing to show for it other than a general aloof malaise and apartments that don't come with floors.

It turns out that if you buy yourself a nice filing cabinet as a 30th birthday present and post about it on Instagram, that brand WILL stalk your profile, recognize a neighborhood bar in one of your old shots, and dm you to let you know that their warehouse is one town away from where you grew up.

I'm begging for tradCaths to add an ounce of isekai to their politics.

I wonder how disc horse bot feels that they were beaten at their own job by an Irish American in a secular hijab aligned accessory.

Control Resonant has one of the better journalist filters I've seen in a new release.

At the end of the fuckin day, if this lesbian bar nonsense makes you feel more conservative, you're a pussy and a coward. These guys are the qanon of the left wing, ain't no one ever took them seriously to begin with. And I say that as a 26 year resident of the pioneer valley.

My kids have measles, I can't afford gas, my country has been humiliated by Iran, and our senile rapist president is going to allow unregulated AI to destroy our civilization. But a lesbian bar in a town I've never heard of still has a mask mandate. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Woke up this morning to find out the bar I used to go to in the valley is going viral for being a portlandia sketch. Great work guys.
