March madness update: The gator clap thing is pretty cool

This is so cool, what a joyful application of technology in the physical world. faridrener.com/2025/04/04/t...

Booker very successfully dominated my bluesky feed, I’ll say that much.

Thank god Zach Lowe is back in time for the playoffs.

Austin rules I fucking love it here

The new deafheaven sure does sound a lot like deafheaven.

YHWH Nailgun were probably the best band I saw at SXSW this year. In my notes, I referred to them as “Groove Noise”. “45 Pounds” works even better than I expected as a record. The drums are huge, the other sounds are inscrutable and menacing. yhwhnailgun.bandcamp.com/album/45-pou...

Worth noting: the employees have guns.

The sky has turned orange in Austin, and the air is grey with occasional ash flakes. Apparently there is a big fire near Fredericksburg.

Porcelain continue to completely fucking rip. @porcelainatx.bsky.social #sxsw

All technical decisions are made in a context, and as an outsider, you don’t always know what that context is! Steve is such a great communicator, really appreciate his perspective and honesty here. Also: TIL that Rust’s early communications strategy was because of Nietzsche!

Here’s my opinion on the new typescript compiler: You should write programs in the language you want to.

A 10x speed up sounds good, very surprised about the choice of language. I would have thought that the TypeScript team would have placed more value on… the type system. devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/t...

Well caring deeply about politics turned out to be a mistake. Time to instead become emotionally invested in a field where I’ll never be let down: sports

One of my favorite films, first time I’ve seen it in a theater. A very joyful tragedy.

Okay I know I’m literally 5 years late here, but “Devs” is an all time hall-of-fame sci fi premise. The show has its weaknesses, to be sure, but the _idea_? Magnificent, terrifying. A fucking plus.

Hey Austin: winter ended about 15 minutes ago, you should go outside and frolic in the sunshine!

The new nightosphere is sick. music.apple.com/us/album/pov...

Rewatching the x files for the first time in many years. - the HD remasters look great - they nail the tone right from the pilot - we’ve really lost something in the era of prestige tv, bring back cheap looking 20+ episode seasons

Hell of a show andscape.com/features/gen...

Evergreen and broadly applicable.

I think Severance 204 might be the best episode yet. Good heavens!

I regret to report that Section 31 is… Very bad.

Going from The Agency to the Night Agent s2 is a real vibes downgrade.

wake up babe, a "hating the cybertruck is ableist" take just dropped

After several years, I will finally be returning to the promised land. IYKYK 🍣

“You are a violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing — just by accident.” What a game.

I fell down a disco elysium rabbit hole this weekend. It is both dark and deep.

SEVERANCE TIME

Can confirm from significant personal experience!
