I fucking hate computers so much.

God I love this stuff. Dogfish Head does this kinda stuff a lot and it's always so weird and cool.

Maybe I'm behind the times, or maybe I'm a millennial, or maybe it's just been a while since I've used O365 in a professional setting, but what the fuck did Microsoft do to this computer program. I'm sure you used to be able to open a file and look at it and they seem to have removed that feature.

Print it on a battle axe and point me at Palo Alto

Two words friends: plausible deniability.

Gideon the Ninth is like moving into a new house that might be haunted, and instead of haunted you find out there's a Narnia door to a labyrinth and cathedral built of obsidian, and it's haunted by lesbian AO3 fanfic writers, and on the altar of the obsidian cathedral is bible that's all dick jokes.

One of my biggest conspiracy theories is that sleep apnea is massively underdiagnosed. I didn't realize that I could wake up and not feel like death until earlier this year. Yes it's annoying yes it sucks but using a CPAP will dramatically increase almost every aspect of your life.

i took down my old post because of a spelling error, which is less embarrassing than losing the election and immediately having your passport confiscated because you are being prosecuted for massive corruption. i hope Jair and Flavio grow old together in whatever prison hospital has the worst food

Well played

Drone tech has so many incredible applications for so many industries and if you want to make any sort of living you have to work for an illiterate Nazi pervert dweeb who collects erotic anime figurines.

Bugs Bunny when the Monstars transform in Space Jam (1996)

Can we have one fucking tech company that is goddamn normal. What is even the point of this Proton. Your use case is literally so simple. Make usable shit, sit quietly in Switzerland, direct every fed to come back with a warrant.

I have not yet dialed in what books I can consume as audiobooks vs books I must sit down and read physically. Naomi Novik's Temeraire, great audiobook. All of Red Rising I think is actually enhanced as audiobook. Summer Sons I think I need to physically sit down and read hardcover and lock in.

Bluesky has five kinds of users

This concept is legislative praxis of the broader Dudiverse Political Theory, in which it is posited that "What's wrong with men" can be solved by putting dude groups in garages with five or six beers and playing warhammer or poker while a 90's action movie plays, AND making phone gambling illegal.

One of the coolest goddamn things I think I've ever read.

Solarpunk anarchist boat heist

"It's ableist to expect a mother with ADHD to be able to describe her child in three bullet points" Sometimes I think about how good it would feel for the sun to consume the earth.

Just FYI 'cause she's not on social media, Jennifer is kind of stunned by this. We're big fans of the N.K. here. Edit: obvs, I'm not speaking for Hale here, who is awesome but I don't live with her.

The only constant sales pitch that the ruling class offers is Dehumanization as a Service.

Something ineffably insidious in this advertisement. It's making my teeth itch.

Anyway I think Cybersecurity Awareness Month actually worked this year.

Has to be said that a great thing about Lula is he is a champion grade hater

So Lula not only won, he basically doubled his margin of victory from 2022. I'm guessing he won thanks to voters who didn't love him, but were terrified to see Flavio given near-dictatorial power. It's going to be a messy next chapter for Brazil, but at least it'll be a fight, not a curb-stomping.

Soup

Anyway going to re-up this very upsetting article about the details & try not to start any bar fights www.vulture.com/article/neil...

talented brilliant incredible amazing show stopping

founder ideology is built out from the notion that business owners are the only people who are actually alive and you should be allowed to do or say anything to non-founders without consequences. elizabeth holmes and her husband are, first and foremost, Founders

Crypto libertarian who keeps accidentally building tech used by insurgent leftist uprisings is a pretty funny curse, Jack.

I think about this like three times a year.

the core point of the pedocon theory article is that some people are looking for unequal relationships--people who are easier to control and manipulate--and one very reliable way of achieving that is to go after young people

I'm a little curious how this is gonna work. Like he's incapable of doing something good on behalf of another person without a quid pro quo. So do you think it'll be like a ballroom fund donation or what.

I am going to think about this movie for the rest of my life

Full moon, empty movie theater, a light buzz. Never been more locked in. It is time to See Everything.

He calibrated the surround sound system by playing Beetlejuice and fast forwarding to the dinner scene. “I need the dinner scene”
