Conway's Law isn't a promise, it's a threat! If you whine about a math problem in base-10, I'll make you do it in base-16 too.

I do not miss the smoking sections of restaurants or hotels. If you were in the first booth of the "non-smoking" section it was guaranteed that food would taste like cigarette ash.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

God let nothing I do in my professional career ever be described as “defective at a level that’s challenging the imagination of many of the engineers studying the incident”

between the catastrophic PHP vuln and the intermediate cert vuln and AI models that can turn a proof of concept into a bot net in like 10mins we’re in for a wild 24 hours

That's the future. It's coming. I see a holy war spreading across the universe like unquenchable fire.

Absolutely not. Humans evolved to live on Earth and there’s no other place that has the right amount of everything we need, like climate, liquid water, mix of oxygen and non-toxic gases in the atmosphere, magnetic field, gravity, puppies, kittens, etc.

Most fandoms can be wide and difficult to please but damn pulling Trek for your thesis is pretty myopic. Put professionals on a spaceship, add one horizon of social progress, and never, ever invoke the Mirror Universe. This is not difficult. Now satisfying the DC fans...

One example I use here is the 'moral status' of insects. If you swat a mosquito that's about to bite you, I don't think you're a murderer; I don't think mosquitoes are sapient. But if you're the kind of person who like to pluck the wings off living insects, I will look *very* askance at you.

It's like a weird Ponzi scheme where he keeps grifting new investors AND doesn't pay out to the previous investors. At this point he should just keep upping the asking price.

He has promised multiple things, multiple times. He has, by my count, delivered two. Now, SpaceX does eventually get payloads into space. And Starlink does work some of the time. Unless Elon shuts of providing internet to you. But that's a far cry from building homes on Mars with autonomous cars.

no matter what happens on election night, these bozos had their hands on every single lever of power. they had all of our most powerful institutions tripping over themselves to comply. they had the media swearing that we were in a new golden age of conservatism. now they're worrying about NEBRASKA

lol the San Juans have 14,100% of their average snowpack right now (it's because the baseline this time of year is basically nil, so any snow creates stupid numbers like below)

This day in history. 2007. Former US vice-president Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for warning everyone about global warming and breaking up a fight between Tipper and Moon Unit Zappa.

Chayote squash is also delicious fried in bacon fat. Mostly because of the bacon fat. 😆

Me: Christophene, also called Cho cho, by itself can be quite bland, but add some thyme and butter and you wonder where the flavour appears from! You: The butter 😆😂 #CaribbeanKitchenClub 🍽 🌱

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

Today I am feeling sore about the daft adoption of Latin by romantic languages. Especially French. Also Italian and German should be mutually exclusive in any given linguistic context. If you hate American English, so do we pal. And seriously, fuck French.
