Old Man Vandehey

Caught myself feeling increasingly doomed and overwhelmed and realized that my music quit playing awhile ago and I’ve just been sitting here with headphones in being oppressed by the ringing in my ears.

Fantastic news! I can't wait to see what's next!

🛸 The Pentagon has a new legal waiver for #UAP disclosure, but it has some concerning gaps. Also the new government #UFO files include the AAWSAP reports… or do they? #uapSky #ufoSky veryexcitingtime.com/episodes/202...

What lovely news to start the day with! Congrats, @geoffgraham.me

sorry for the x screenshot but sort of a good synopsis of the days events

once again, every solution to homelessness runs on the principle that homeless people *do* have homes they are just choosing not to live in for some nefarious reason

now that we know how the new season of Reacher is (excellent), a thread about why you should watch What If A Man Was Large, The Show, in the form of a Q&A

It’s cool, and not incredibly demoralizing, that the last ~25 years (? more?) have been an increasingly flagrant demonstration that The Rules, as we were brought up to understand them, just do not apply to a lot of people

i don't care for charles

It’s a classic tale by now but my dad got a job somewhere in his early 30s after getting an mba and then stayed until he retired. I don’t know a single person living that life, no matter what field they’re in.

I feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.

I love writing about the rapid pace of change in web development, so why am I struggling to write about how AI is affecting my career? cloudfour.com/thinks/how-d...

This week, Scott and Chuck answer your questions about UFOs, the paranormal, and more! veryexcitingtime.com/episodes/202...

i'm not the first person to say it but it sure is fucked up how many popular video games these days are just "wouldn't it be cool if you could pursue a single career you enjoy, with plenty of time for rest, and get paid a reasonable living wage for doing so"

anyways star trek but they wear capes

“Let me make it clear: without people at the top of their game sharing their experience and knowledge—regardless of whatever ‘game changing’ technology is in place—we are pulling up the ladders and committing our industry to stagnation and death.” bell.bz/youll-miss-p...

I have a lot of feelings about the whole CSS-Tricks debacle. Here's me trying to be constructive about it. ericwbailey.website/published/cs...

🛸 Hey y'all! I will be out of town over during the time we would normally record an upcoming episode, so I thought I'd see if we can get enough questions to pre-record a Q&A episode to schedule for release that week. Please reply with any questions you'd like us to answer!

🛸 President Trump reportedly says aliens live in our oceans, and Matthew Brown says the legacy program has an oral tradition that we've made agreements with NHI! #UFO #UAP veryexcitingtime.com/episodes/202...

He's not wrong... 🤷‍♂️

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

I hate AI slop. I hate AI art. I hate AI music. Writing is definitely best left to humans. But in the field of software development, we've hit a revolutionary tipping point. 2026 is the year when the models became good enough to solve hard problems autonomously. this is the new reality.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

if we don't own our games i don't think $50-70 is a reasonable price to pay to borrow them.

🛸 Five more whistleblowers and #UAP disclosure advocates joined James Fox’s “Dear Mr President” campaign, pressing Trump to release more #UFO information and release whistleblowers from their nondisclosure agreements. veryexcitingtime.com/episodes/202...

heard my wife say from the other room "oh no, ghosts can carry rabies now!" and while she clarified that she said "goats" my first thought was still "great, one more thing I gotta deal with"

"it's called fashion sweetie, look it up"

i think that because i am in my 40s i should get a pass on discord where i can open it without getting screamed at about orbs and whatever a mini vegeta bundle is

Every object oriented language introduction starts with showing the clean hierarchy of dog and cat inheriting from animal, while every real codebase is like

anyways gul dukat but he wears daisy dukes

yoda - ah, count dookie, my old apprentice count dooku, bristling with rage - i said to STOP CALLING ME THAT yoda - no anakin, bleeding out on the floor - hahaha, master yoda said dookie obi-wan, also bleeding out - lol, he really did

picard - if you're saying i play favorites, you're wrong, i love all my crew members equally picard earlier, sipping tea in his ready room - i don't care for worf

Currently at the fun stage of Portland summer where my CO2 monitor is freaking out (1575ppm) and wants me to open the window immediately, while my air quality map says the air is chunky outside (180aqi) and I should definitely keep the window closed.

🛸 Big news this week, as President Trump waives all #UAP NDAs for government employees to speak about #UFOs with AARO and PURSUE. Could this be the start of real disclosure? #ufoSky #uapSky veryexcitingtime.com/episodes/202...

How have we had keyboard innovations like the Windows key (lol) or the Fn key, but still haven't made the Caps Lock key change the capitalization of highlighted text?? If I highlight a sentence and hit Caps Lock, it should cycle through ALL CAPS, all lower, And Title Case like come ONNNNN

We were somewhere around line 23,494 on the edge of the framework when the caffeine began to take hold. I remember saying something like 'I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should code...' And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the screen was full of compilation errors.

This is literally the plot of Murderbot

🛸 Lue Elizondo says there are monoliths on the moon, whistleblower Matthew Brown asks "amnesty for what?", and the Disclosure Foundation director says the latest #UFO file drop proves the US can summon #UAP! #ufoSky veryexcitingtime.com/episodes/202...

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Just went to see the Odyssey. Had a great time, longer than I expected, I'm getting texts from my gf like "Are you ever coming home." Then I'm walking home and you wouldn't believe the cast of characters that got in my way. Like the gods were against me. And you wouldnt believe what I came home to

Many, many years ago I worked for a certain legal news website to which Lindsey Graham subscribed. Anyway i hardcoded it to always spell his name wrong in the top corner, no matter how many times he tried to manually correct it.

"DO AS THEY SAY AND YOU WON'T GET HURT" IS ADVICE MEANT FOR HOSTAGES, NOT CIVILIANS CONFRONTED BY ICE.

🛸 Ross Coulthart accuses Lue Elizondo of participating in a legacy #UAP program attempt to restrict what the public was told about #UFO crash retrievals! #ufoSky veryexcitingtime.com/episodes/202...
