i love interviewing nintendo developers so much www.wired.com/story/mario-...

We’ve kept cinema’s biggest twist a secret from the kid for 8 and a half years, and today we’re finally watching Star Wars Episode V

Fuck the haters—and fuck Target especially this year—Happy Pride to all who celebrate. You are wanted you are valued and you are needed. Finding joy in these times is the truest form of spite. Don’t let the bastards get you down. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

“Congrats, you hit your move goal every day this week!” says my watch as I shove a cupcake into my mouth over the sink.

I haven’t posted about local-first stuff in a while. Let’s change that. So I’ve been reimplementing parts of Automerge to learn from and to write about. Threw Cambria in there as well, because why not. Turns out… they say it’d be awesome if the two systems were more tightly integrated? Yep!

Counter-proposal: • Just give it to me

I didn’t watch today… did Sovereignty win the Indy 500? It’d be cool to have a triple crown winner this year.

being a real man seems cool. Sadly, I enjoy soup and friends too much.

What a wonderful piece! 😍

Y'all love being angry at people and leaving irate comments. Here's a case where that could actually help! Get in there and make the world safer.

Watching Star Wars with the 8yo for the first time. Convinced him that the whole movie is just reading the opening scroll for two hours. 😆

Max is rebranding to HBO Max? Huh. Wonder where they got the name.

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

“new pope smell”

Just found out about willowprotocol.org. In addition to what looks like a very interesting project… those illustrations! 😻

This is Lollipop. She loves to play with toy balls just like any other dog, just happens to do it on hard mode. 14/10

my boss, sipping his coffee: so do you feel like you’re clear on priorities this week? me: yeah sneak into the zoo and steal a giraffe. Got it. boss: (literal spit take)

Warnock: I don’t know how anybody can be apathetic after what we’re going through right now. We say elections have consequences. That ain’t a slogan right about now. We’re living that reality. Here I am doing everything I can with the tools that I have but tools are not the same…

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

Don't let the diet industry fool you. Carbs are not your enemy. Your real energy is Gannondorf, the Demon King, and his nefarious minions. Their plot to overthrow Hyrule must be stopped at all costs.

Restarted my hydroponics after having everything turned off over the winter, and it’s a joy to see tiny lettuce getting bigger every day again.

BE SO BRILLIANT NONE OF YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DARE LOOK AT YOU.

Dude.

if the purpose still is to perform surveillance and serve us ads, i think it would be a lot easier do it inside a working search engine; not to mention cheaper

OH: "Jira doppleganger"

My biggest frustration in terms of rising to this moment is: people obviously do not understand that there's a whole psyop strategy around DEMORALIZATION. I do not necessarily think that every doomcryer is insincere, but to steal hope is still to hand our enemies weapons.

I haven't been posting recently, so some things I've been up to: - Taking a course on MiniZinc - Researching more CRDTs - Trying to weed out my terrible todo list

Today's win: the francishowellforward.org candidates won the election! That breaks the culture-war majority on the board. They won by five points, too, in supposedly-red St. Charles county.

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

saw two big Hands Off protests driving to vote today. One was in a common protest spot over a bridge and I have never seen so many people there!

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

"acoustic bike" is among the funniest terms I've ever heard 😆

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

I hope Alsup walking around like Daft Punk outside the court room, but: this is beyond excellent news in regards to my biggest domestic concern (dismantling the federal government).
