Every time I refill my RA meds I think: It is fucking insane that I require a medication that's total treatment cost (before payment assistance + insurance) is more than I make per year.

God, I am so tired of seeing literally wrong AI summaries of content.. ANY content, whether mine or other folks.

The fuck

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Just remember, fellow devs: Just because that framework/stack/tool is fresh as hell and makes amazing promises doesn't mean you have to use it immediately. The consequences of early adoption can be pretty severe. See: Well, almost everything in dev.

Gotta love that migraine hangover phase.. Where shit feels too light and too bright and that migraine could peak out from the forest and rush at you like a fucking bull about to gore you and leave you on the hot beach to waste away.

Fucking migraine is invading the space that is my brain. Popped an excedrin and am going to eat spicy Indian food, which seems like the perfect way to tell it to fuck off before I take a nap.

If you're planning to order a patch from me, hold off until Thurs. evening; I've got a new batch of test print stickers coming and maybe 7 of the orders that come through after they arrive will get a free "Fuck AI" sticker :D Note that this is ONLY for patch orders (they will go up in the shop tho).

My surgery has gone smoothly, however I've been hit with an unexpected surcharge of 1.3k above the highest prior estimate. It really sucks to be in financial straits while in recovery, so I'm reopening my fundraiser. Please help if you can gofund.me/2bd9ebd3a

It's a real shame that Beast of Reincarnation is just so.. Basic. The premise sounded good, but the delivery definitely fell flat according to reviewers. Oh well; I did end up grabbing Black Flag Resynced after talking w/ an ex-Ubi employee, and will have some thoughts to write this weekend.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

OH MY GOD it is a good thing I wasn't on a client call just now.. I just turned in my chair and my hip popped just right, and the sounds I made would've made people really suspicious of me if they had heard it.

Friends, if you are anti-firearms in general (not sure I have many of those following me given I do occasionally post about them), I encourage you to watch this. It covers some of the top points, at least. youtu.be/SfNeKco5et8?...

JFC, if I had an ounce of the talent in the studio Greazy Wil has while on ketamine I wouldn't fucking need to be a web developer anymore. This man is.. Fucking brilliant. youtu.be/SVIWtmrzjkQ?... 1/

The best flat picks in existence. Been using these since college when they were branding them as having a cat-tongue grip.

Y'all better not stop sharing cool shit by cool people on here. I keep finding awesome folks to follow because of you.

Finally seeing some early leaks for Beast of Reincarnation (thanks to folks sailing the high seas); So far graphics and performance seem to be a concern, and the core gameplay and level design tends to be on the "meh" spectrum. This may be a "wait for polish/sale" for me.

Hey y'all, putting out the bat signal: I'm looking for full-time, part-time, or contract work in product design or frontend development. ("Design engineering" if you're trendy.) Over a decade of experience building design systems for startups, healthcare, civic tech + more. ky.fyi

Started playing Road to Vostok today finally; Awesome game, but goddamned if it isn't stupid-fucking-tense even in the beginner area.

boss: let me guess you're sick again? i told you you've got to stop spending so much time in bars on the weekend me (was catching pigeons and putting them in my mouth): i was kissing a lot of pretty ladies too let me tell you

I had fun writing this little bit of nostalgia, so I decided to publish it early. nerfedgamer.news/all-posts/em... Also, sorry mom!

I’m currently waiting to see if Beast of Reincarnation is any good before I buy it (the review embargo is up at the time of release Monday evening, which always makes me nervous).. And when I’m waitin...

Goddammit I cannot remember for the life of me how my arrangement of Summertime went; It has been years since I played it, and it was one of my later-in-life arrangements I did.

And here's the aforementioned blog post, where I bitch about how the media is failing hard at following up on shit. painpropaganda.com/blog/posts/i... (Query string in URL is just to force BS to clear cache on the unfurl - had a typo in metadata)

Good morning

Started working on my blog post for today, and I'm particularly proud of this line: "The news isn't all Paris Hilton sex tapes and Britney Spears crotch shots." Here's some news for you: I'm going to take a bathroom break before I continue writing it.

I sure hope he gets some compensation for time and attorney's fees. This administration's lawfare has costs that people seem to keep forgetting, and we all just shrug it off. Attorneys cost fucking money, dammit.

Played one of my old original busking tunes this evening during the rain, seeing if I really can play guitar again for realsies. Will need to build up my callouses again, and the neuropathy is making it harder to be accurate, but muscle memory is there and joints felt fine, so.. Looking good!

Always fun when I get a "XYZ is back up!" notice from Pulsetic before I get the notice that it went down.

finally, the Democratic party has a plan.
