Wicked was really good except for the 1 year intermission I don't need that long to go to the bathroom

What we need is an Atlantic think piece about Elon Musk as the Wizard of Oz that traces the American inventor-king-con-artist archetype back to Edison and PT Barnum.

Ariana Grande I was not familiar with your game.

Decentralization is a lot like end-to-end-encryption: users want to have it but they don’t want to experience any usability trade-offs that result from it.

fwiw, you can find feature requests discussed on Bluesky's github page: Bookmarks: github.com/bluesky-soci... Edit posts: github.com/bluesky-soci... Remove followers: github.com/bluesky-soci... tl;dr: why features aren't implemented often boils down to: "it's hard to do in a public protocol"

In SaaS, we build evergreen software with continuous deployment and Agile methodology. Except for a period of time that starts a week before US Thanksgiving and goes three weeks into January, where nothing happens at all.

Did you know that I wrote a book chronicling the wild story of Blizzard Entertainment and it comes out in… wait a minute it’s already out! And you can get it right now! Holy shit www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/jason...

post-election mood

The Game Boy Advance SP design is perfect, not just because it's very portable, but because its flip phone style means that if you're not doing well at Pokémon Fire Red or whatever, you can just angrily hang up on it.

If you're new to BlueSky, you should know about @deck.blue. It's basically Tweetdeck for Bluesky. It lives at www.deck.blue but if you're feeling fancy and use Windows, you can install it as a Chrome 'app' and then pin the button to your taskbar.

God grant me the serenity to accept I am cooked, The courage to say fuck it we ball, And the wisdom to know when we are so back
