Me to my CEO when the cloud is down

One of the best things about this site is I can never tell when people I follow are doing a bit or not and now I have to watch this thread of all the over 38s explaining PHP to all the under 38s to find out if this is sincere.

MCP is imperfect, but we now expect our tools to allow our agents to execute full workflows reliably and efficiently. I've migrated away from Figma, Webflow, and Looker over the last year because they expose little to no working surface to external agents.

Don't be a reply guy but if you are gonna ignore that advice the FFS at least read the bio of the person you are replying to

Ah I see it's alt text celebration hour again

NPR headline writer as excited as my kid sharing school gossip.

1st step when diagnosing friends' or in-laws' slow WiFi (and you're on BlueSky so I know you're the one they ask) is to find and unplug every little smart device in the house. Cheap wifi outlets are the worst offenders.

Chrome: Chrome didn't shut down correctly. Restore pages? **clicks Restore** **low rumbling sound** **lights begin to flicker**

This is Dolly filling in for Paddington in the near future

When the link puts the post in a whole different light

Seen some bad pitches in #MLS but #CHIvsCLT ...woof

Magic eraser gonna get a workout getting Trump out of everyone's copy of that Spain team photo

They are doing this at every game, every score! Looking for crying kids! It's gotten weird at this point!

This was the first thing I ever programmed

I do not understand Belgium's early subs in this game and now seems really ill advised in light of Courtois

I try so hard to cultivate summoning the words "so what do you think you'll do about that?" It's very hard to unlearn your own expectation of having an immediate answer for anything your kid throws at you but seeing how they work through challenges themselves is priceless and, after all, is THE JOB

Bosnia AND Herzegovina!? In this economy?!?* * this has been an official Bluesky skeet for #USMNT

Thank God Claude is doing all my work for me this week bc I am watching a lot of world cup

Nashville in the summer of 2026 is live music with a singer from the audience in front of a TV screen showing world cup soccer and tornado warnings

American airlines making this flight from Charlotte to Nashville seem like a road trip by starting out saying the fuel is low and the lav is broken so I guess we're gonna need to stop at Sheetz along the way

Okay yes I'm searching the World Cup a lot but you may be getting presumptuous about my sports tastes, Google

Current kit proving my 1994 theory that #USMNT play best when they look like the discount rack of a Myrtle Beach Wal-Mart

Maybe an underappreciated additional harm that monopolistic, enshittified platforms inflict: they give many people the impression that this is the *only possible* version of that type of system.

More broadly, are you aware that there is an entire field of people who are professionals in the practice of understanding how social networks function, and how to design them for social good? That *most* social platforms are healthy — the giant fascist networks are the dangerous exception?

This is so funny to me bc I grew up near Philly (West Chester) and even though I can get Tastycakes at the local grocery chain in Charlotte, NC I refuse to b/c my heart says Tastycakes are not authentic unless you buy them at Wawa

I find GIMP hard to use. It's not a diss on GIMP, and I'm pretty good at most normal life skills. It's a very full featured image manipulation program and I use it about once every 3 months. Yes it's mostly clicking on pictures but there are a lot of them and their behavior is not always obvious.

Landon Donovan has better hair than Alexi Lalas and the US scored 3 goals in a half?!? #USMNT

Self-defense striking the last half of a pint of Ben and Jerry's before my family gets to it

Shouting this as my neighbors come to shut down my raccoon petting zoo

Men, if you've been chopping jalapenos, wash your hands BEFORE you use the restroom. Please don't ask me how I know.

Yes this is the least important thing about this photo but...it's killing me that they've got the Empire State Building as taller than the Willis Tower, because they are comparing the with-antennas height of the former to the without for the latter. Like-for-like Willis is taller.

DRYER: might I suggest this new auto-sensing feature which conveniently stops the cycle 15 minutes before your clothes are dry?

Trying to convince my CEO I'm just an overachiever

Unless you see shit like this from time to time and think you accidentally swiped to Discover, you're not following enough sickos. Also: CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANES!

Google just deprecated one of its leading LLMs (2.5-Flash) while its replacement (3.5-Flash) costs 4x as much. The AI bubble burst is going to feel more like a squeeze to anyone who's gotten dependent on these guys Gemini-2.5-Flash: $0.30/M in // $2.5/M out Gemini-3.5-Flash: $1.5/M in // $9/M out

Even AI haters have to admit how good it is at telling us how indifferent or hostile many leaders are to their own employees

Looks like Google Health just got a heart transplant from Southwest

When the market fails to adequately provide a good or service that we the people need, the standard for success of the govt is not whether it "works" relative to the market (which sucks in the situation, remember?) See also: USPS, public education, and other govt services that don't need to make $$$

Even the Pope is using AI to write, smdh
