Hey this aged well! I’ll keep checking back.

MOST people aren’t afraid of “no ghosts” #thenews

don’t forget to vote, fellas: if the democrats win, you don’t get to have a penis anymore

I don’t know if any of you need to hear this, but you really shouldn’t be giving a picture of your credit card to an agent. I thought y’all were crazy giving it access to your email but this is some deep new shit.

Hey, cool, she’s on my ballot!

this is how a cartoon dog would stand if it was about to be lifted in the air by the aroma of a delicious pie

I encourage you all to file this issue with Apple if you’re also seeing it

Go to Dollywood, it's a truly special place.

Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to diss a griss

here's how my new app works, broken down 👇 fussy.monster/how-it-works...

made a native app that eats datasets (and tokens) and poops out beautiful, scrollable stories with charts and citations fussy.monster

OH: “yeah if you want people not to read it, just write more of it”

You can pay a lot or you can pay a little for the same ingredients at a Taco Bell and honestly it’s up to you.

Weirdly fun to block the White House

Hey, the CFP for the 23rd Southern California Linux Expo is open! This is a great spot to give a talk - crowd is sharp, vibe is welcoming. socallinuxexpo.org/scale23x/cfp

Friday news! @telliott.me took Flox for a spin and shared his thoughts in The Friday Deploy 🎉 “I’m sure I’ll be using it for some more serious projects soon.” We love seeing Flox in the wild 💜 Full writeup 👉 buff.ly/KL75tNF

Bon Jovi is what happens when Bruce Springsteen tries to sound like Mötley Crüe and it’s fascinating

This all accelerates us. But if you didn't know how to communicate before, ChatGPT isn't going to help you get your point across -any better-. If you didn't know how to code before, Claude isn't going to be enough to help you write -shippable code-. (keep hiring PEOPLE)

I simply do not have time for uneven tines. I am trying to capture food, not shove it around. Who else straightens tines at restaurants? Just me?

After much experimentation and consideration I confidently conclude that claude-code will allow me to pay MUCH CLOSER ATTENTION to the television I watch while I code. Game changer.

I just learned that :q! works in claude-code and it's delightful af.

Gonna guess when they say “international students” they don’t mean kids from Sweden 🇸🇪

To the guy who always seems to be walking around my neighborhood in the Florida heat: Good job! You keep getting fitter! I notice you picking up trash! Keep it up, whoever you are!

We may be very surprised to learn that the best uses of an LLM have almost nothing to do with language

Ugh this email could have been a meeting 🙃

I’d say: don’t use a browser that is designed to spy on you and sell you things. As a marketer I don’t even want this.

Go to any soccer or hockey game and you will hear someone in the crowd shouting “shoot it” at entirely the wrong moment.

Our new guide shows how to: ✅ Stand up PostgreSQL + Metabase dashboards locally: no containers or system-wide installs ✅ Build and test ETL against real production-grade retail data ✅ Define, debug, and iterate in your dev environment using Flox Full guide here: buff.ly/JN5wGjT
