I can’t believe it! It’s finally done. As you might know, I love daily puzzle games like Wordle, Connections, and Sudoku, so I made one! It’s so weird to me that I ACTUALLY built this thing from idea to execution. It’s called Word Case, and you can play it now! wordcase.co

In my opinion, these are the top 3 software dev traits: 1. Kindness 2. Willingness to figure things out 3. Knowing how things work/wanting to know how things work

One thing Jiu-Jitsu has taught me: it’s ok to suck real bad at something if it’s fun.

Instagzam is when a magician does a trick really fast. (Computah, write hashtag newinstagramlogo.)

It’s true; eventually you will die. But not right now.

“But the millionaires will sell their second homes!”

Some black coffee drinkers are so weird. Their takes would be very odd in any other context. There’s no one out there saying, “You don’t actually enjoy cereal unless you only eat dry corn flakes.”

AI flyers are a scourge.

Whenever I see someone write “balled my eyes out” instead of “bawled my eyes out”, I imagine someone removing their own eyes with a melon baller.

For over a decade, the consistent messaging—even from one pope to the next—has been humility, love, and dignity. Growing up Evangelical, and being told that Catholicism wasn’t “real” Christianity, I would NEVER have thought that the pope would come to be the most Christ-like global religious leader.

I’m sure this is a bad idea for a zillion reasons, but what if every vote for political office was write-in only?

Going bald? Nah. Face card so rich it’s buying more real estate. 💅

This seems like the most inanely obvious thing on earth to me, but art IS THE PROCESS OF MAKING ART. That’s where the beauty is, not just the outcome.

The worst part about being a person who works in tech and who actually wants to do good in the world is that the "leaders" of your industry don't care about that at all. (They actively do the opposite.)

It’s so weird that we sometimes live in a world where it seems like hope and whimsy are to be avoided. I fucking love hope and whimsy.

Enthusiastically accepting your encroaching baldness is a heretofore unseen level of body positivity. Y’all aren’t ready.

AI “art” and videos are so bad that I’m convinced they’re just a data-mining grift. I’ve literally never seen AI-generated visual content that was good. And surely someone will argue with this by posting something they think is good and I’ll be proven right once again.

@43081j.com are you still actively maintaining this postcss-lit syntax? I posted a PR last week for a bug we ran into, but it doesn't look like the repo has had much activity since about last October or so. Either way, thanks for your work on that! It's been helpful! github.com/43081j/postc...

Did you guys know that it was perfectly legal for them to crucify Jesus Christ? And that it was illegal to be a disciple and espouse the views of a known political agitator? A lotta criminals from “sh*thole” places (like Nazareth) in early Christianity.

I keep doing this thing where I figure out the answer in the exact moment I push the button for a Tip, so I’m inflating my result by one because of my own impatience. SLOW DOWN STEVE On Word Case #2026-1-4, I got triple bogey! Three over par. 3️⃣ 🟠 🥵 💡 💡 🥵 💡 🟠 💡 🔥 💡 🏆 wordcase.co

I’m so glad we’re no longer in Biden’s Christmas-free Happy Holidays hell now that our dear fascist savior king has taken back his throne. Finally the public executions of those daring to utter “Merry Christmas” are at an end.

“We’re going to make a technology that will solve climate change and cure diseases!” *builds a stealing machine*

I’m coming to a realization that a true apocalyptic future for me is one where everything is moderately shitty and no one cares.

@aptshadow.bsky.social 1) Two Hugo noms in one year in the same category is CRAZY work. 👏 2) The metaphor in Alien Clay about communication of dropping a pebble in a well and trying to read the ripples completely blew my mind. I was listening to the audio book and literally paused it to process.

I’m excited for when Zohran wins and everybody is outraged saying stuff like, “She wasn’t even his real aunt!”

Sure—when it has been tried—the percentage of people on SNAP benefits who come back positive on drug tests is infinitesimally small. But have you considered that people on drugs also deserve to eat?

The “people” you’re arguing with on the internet are bots.

A judge says no, he does it anyway, AND THEN WHAT? WHAT THEN YOU GUYS?

Actually, Secretary Gravelgoebbels, autistic people kick ass. I’m not a doctor, but—if anything—I think pregnant mothers should be taking MORE Tylenol.

1. Bluesky doesn’t downrank links 2. You can choose your own algorithm from among thousands 3. The whole app is open source This keeps it a free and open platform by design, leading to better click-throughs and traffic to your site. We 💙 the open web.

It just goes back to the same unflinching hypocrisy. Morality is only important so long as it’s expedient.

I don’t think they actually care that their president is a pedophile because they also don’t care when it’s their pastor or their grandpa or their brother or their “promising young men”.

Y’all, I think today’s Word Case might be the hardest one in the whole list. I tried to make sure the answers only included words that I myself knew, and I only learned this one in the last few years. Good luck and have fun! On Word Case #2025-8-23, I got birdie! One under par. 🐥 🟠 🥵 💡 🥵 💡 🏆
