omg, you tell me it'd be even worse if I ever actually made a political donation? I've never done it and never will.

I think it would be good for overall morale if the Republicans running on the super popular "I'm a horrible piece of shit...what're you gonna do about it?" platform faced some electoral consequences. I know it would cheer me up for a day or two!

So fucking great to discover my county's website has AudioEye on it when I went just now to see early voting locations. #a11y #CripTheVote

I still think AI systems should be paying me 150k per copyright violation. People keep asking me 'what laws do we need for AI?' and I keep saying 'enforce the fucking ones we already have!' There are copyright laws that should be being enforced right now that just... aren't. B/c it's billionaires.

This is the kind of crap that's going to make me fervently anti-AI if these companies don't very quickly get their shit together.

I know folks get real mad when I say this but in times of widespread security crisis, static sites sure are nice

I used to be one of these, I can't remember if we didn't know or just forgot to do the paperwork. Nice thing was that, after we filed it, we actually got the difference back from the county.

Put together a patio table on the back porch after work. It'll be great for working outside when the weather's nice.

the existence of alt text suggests the existence of goth text, jock text, nerd text, prep text, and normie text.

One ping only.

I got one of these the other day.

Ooof, and this is why I take a training on money laundering every year for work.

Need to find the motivation to do some writing today.

In the vein of "public libraries could never be created today," a pitch for a calculator would get you thrown out of the boardroom. What do you mean, it just maths? Where are the ads supposed to go? How does it send usage telemetry back if it doesn't even have wifi? There isn't even a leaderboard.

Apparently all the Arizona political text spammers have finally figured out I no longer live in Arizona just as all the Texas political text spammers have figured out I'm in Texas now.

People really should use the word kerfuffle more.

"YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK"

Video's played during a town hall meeting today. Coworker posts in a team chat "$10 says that music's AI-generated." I respond "Give me $10." It was The Weekend's Blinding Light. I mean, I absolutely despise modern pop and avoid it like the plague but I instantly recognized the song.

Maybe we don’t let the WSJ be the arbiter of culture. You like midcentury? Rock on. You like shag carpet? Do your thing. Don’t take style advice from a newspaper that would put commodity prices on the front page if an asteroid hit the earth.

I've had the runner-up Cuban sandwich mentioned in this article, that thing is delicious and I'll go out of my way to order it the one day a month it's on the specials board.

“He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it any more obvious?” At the time, I was exploring my own gender fluidity and was on the cusp of realizing that I identify as pansexual. I would not say that this was at all “obvious.” buff.ly/bCNczvr

Just finished booking a week-long trip that's gonna get me on three different airlines, Alaska, Southwest, and American. #AvGeek

rt if your mind is not, in fact, boggled

The #a11y of Alaska's app still sucks, and it's really not a great look when I try to add another airline's loyalty info for myself only to be told my number's invalid when I know it's not. #PaxEx

Just realized I haven't been treating airplane tickets as a "laptop purchase" anymore.

Guess I'm not going to Pittsburgh in two weeks after all.

RIP work bluetooth headset. You took a lot of abuse from me and will be missed.

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”

So great to stay at a hotel, do valet parking, then get a letter in the mail threatening to sue us because we didn't pay to park in the garage they parked our car in. Even better, this is the second letter and the hotel didn't actually fix it the first time we called about it.

Love a church parking lot with the sign, "trespassers will be prosecuted" Aren't we supposed to forgive those who trespass against us?

Finally got around to watching that new Boeing documentary on Netflix. That thing was trash.

I have two very pissed cats in cat carriers on the way to the vet.

Pierce the Veil/Guns N Roses was awesome. Wish PTV had a longer set, but I kinda get it since GNR goes for 3 hours.

Ok, only a day and a half more of work to get through until Pierce the Veil and Guns N Roses in San Antonio. I can do this.

The kids are alright.

Sometimes I wish I didn't know what Jira is.

In honor of Uber shutting down in Nigeria this week, here’s my favorite story about Uber in Nigeria.

“So we’re trading stickers we can’t see,” Sophie says. “Yes,” Ms. Delgado answers. “And we know we have them because of the list.” “Yes.” “And nobody is in charge of the list.” “That’s correct.” Liam raises his hand. “What if someone takes the stickers?”

TIRED: Being pissed at yourself for not saving your work before an application crashes WIRED: Being pissed at the developers for cramming in more and more shit you don’t need into their enterprise software so it’s no longer stable and apparently even the autosave feature can’t be trusted
