I really hoped the dems would actually grow spines and push back on the lies. They started great and as soon as one black man was ejected, they all became puppies. Cowards, all. I don't know what's going to save us, but it's not them.

Need recommendations on a good HD (maybe 4k?) webcam. Been using my Canon DSLR and it looks good, but not liking having my "good" camera tethered to my computer (or having to use the Canon EOS software to make it happen).

Rare insomnia last night. Awake at 2am trying to remember who did the voices in "The Fox & The Hound". C'mon, brain.

Trying in vain to upgrade Storybook in a React/Vite project. I've now had at least 3 different AI sources try to tell me React v19 doesn't exist yet, and that the current version of Tailwind is 3.4. C'mon, robots.

I'm attempting to update an old site from React 17 to 19. I'm a @vuejs.org guy for life, so this seems particularly obtuse and unnecessarily complex. Just want to burn it all to the ground and start over.

Couldn't have picked a better time to switch to the 70's channel. Only wish my daughter were with me.

I've been a web developer for 28 years now. Over half my life. And you know, I still get excited about stuff. But so often, the people you work with are burned out, gone past the point of caring about this stuff. And I totally get it. But it's hard to not be able to talk about it with your peers.

Having to work on a legacy site, I immediately miss @tailwindcss.com, especially v4. Sifting through obtuse, often meaningless, class names and tracking down occurrences in multiple scss files is just a maddening exercise. Wish it was easier to slot it into an existing Webpack project.

Really glad I don't have to travel for work. I'd be really nervous getting on a plane right now.

"Why don't you just do the thing?" — people without ADHD that don't understand there is literally nothing I want more than to do the thing, I am desperate to do the thing, but my brain simply won't fire the neurons required to move me into action.

For those devs doing the #buildinpublic thing, how do you get over the (likely unfounded) fear of "what if someone steals this idea?"?

Had a dream last night they made a new Star Wars movie wherein Obi-Wan Kenobi sings "Always look on the bright side of life."

Let's talk about what DEI really is. It is not a quota system. It is not about hiring unqualified people over qualified people. It is about encouraging people who are responsible for hiring to open up the aperture to try and find qualified people outside of their regular comfort zone.

Got a reminder that I wrote this in my journal eight years ago. How things have come back around.

A week into this evil administration, I want to make sure everyone is clear how this works: Trump voters don’t get to clutch their pearls and mutter, “I had no idea he would do these things.” Remind them every day that he campaigned on this shit and they still voted for him. This is their fault.

We're re-watching season 1 of Severance and I still get real anxiety after every episode when I think about how horrific life for an "innie" must be.

Seeing so many other devs back at their desks today like "Good to be back! Let's do this!". Meanwhile, I'm back after 8 days of driving and visiting family, with the added bonus of bringing home a cold. I just want to go back to bed.

My last holiday advent art prompt on Christmas Eve was “elf”. Here’s a little guy that just wants to be a dentist. Now I can go back to the two prompts I missed, and finish the rendering on a few more. #artadvent #rudolph #christmas

My art prompt yesterday was “something-Pool”, so here’s a Santapool I came up with. Needs embellishment, but it’s all I had time for. #artadvent #artprompt #deadpool #santa

Holy cow, I read 14 books this year. Pretty proud of that, actually. And a pretty decent mix of fiction, non-fiction, self-help, etc. #GoodreadsYearinBooks www.goodreads.com/user/year_in...

The Cumber-Grinch is in progress. Max will have to wait a bit. My plan is to circle back on some of these daily challenges after Christmas so I can flesh them out more. #grinch #benedictcumberbatch #drseuss

Randomly sold a piece of art on Etsy (listed for literally years). Now there's a minimum amount you have to have sold to be able to deposit it to your bank? Was it always like that? So since I have less than that, and likely won't sell anything else, that money is just nonexistent. WTF.

Today’s art prompt is “reindeer”. So many options to pick from, but went with Thrasher from Prep & Landing. As usual, ran out of time, so I’ll have to come back to finish him up later. #reindeer #prepandlanding #disney #artadvent

Today’s art prompt is “Scrooge”. I’ve already done Scrooge McDuck, so here’s a stab at George C Scott as Scrooge. Will have to finish colors later. #scrooge #christmascarol

And today’s art prompt is “anti-hero”. It was hard to decide, but I opted for Venom. A “Santy-hero”, if you will. Needs color, but will have to add that tomorrow. #venom #antihero #santa
