I feel seen.

I'm learning there's a very fine line between spite and anger, at which point, I shut the whole thing down and nothing gets done.

The trailer for season two of Andor is out! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to watch an earnest show about an ultimately successful revolution against a fascist government. [kottke.org]

🎉 Introducing my upcoming third course, Whimsical Animations! This course will teach you how to build top-tier animations and interactions using a variety of techniques. ✨ You can join the waitlist on the course’s brand-new site, which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve built in quite some time:

Did we learn nothing from the comedy stylings of Yakov Smirnoff?

The antidote to doomerism isn’t blind optimism, it’s a strident, rebellious, unflinching belief that we are right, we are righteous, and we will win. Listen to @dansinker.com dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

Same energy.

Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or capitalism, but it makes a political statement. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web" and I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today. localghost.dev/blog/this-pa...

Apple TV+ is streaming an 8-hour remix of the Severance theme song that is perfect music for your innie to refine macrodata to. Legit adding this to the work music rotation. [kottke.org]

This week's episode gutted me. Having Noah Wyle back as an ER doc is like a warm blanket.

Dadding out with the new season of Reacher.

V for Vendetta but it's just a bunch of people in Luigi hats.

Kind of weird that spite is such a strong motivator for me. Working on my second spite-driven project in as many months. May need to write a book on spite-driven development.

In honor of @nba.com joining the platform, here's a 1996 commercial for NBA․com that I transferred from the ole VHS collection - an ad that does a good job of capturing how space-aged it used to feel to merely be using the internet.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Loved seeing Raphael Saadiq at the All-Star Game. One of my all-time favorite artists.

Me, when people in my household don't reseal food containers

The guy who won the dunk contest is two inches taller than me. 😅

Mac McClung dunks 2 balls including one off a guy spinning on a hoverboard

Mac McClung jumps over the same guy standing up, spins in the air to slam. KAT's reaction and the replays

UNREAL.

Tryin' to imagine makin' a billion dollars scribblin' about baby wizards and whatnot, then sittin' in my castle, rage-tweetin' at trans people all day. Guuurl you won at life. It's cool to just sign out and take everyone your ass has ever known to Wingstop.

I don't feel great about working in tech. It's always been capitalist, but the field now actively and shamelessly contributes to wars, environmental harms and a wide range of human rights violations. We desperately need better leaders, and really think individually what we're ok contributing to

It's very weird going through my feed like: * This cool new browser feature is launching! * Polio is back! * Here's a cool CSS technique! * Your parents are moving in with you because the administration stole their Social Security! * Look at this adorable puppy!

“I don’t t fit neatly into job descriptions. I never have. I am brilliant, resourceful, and intuitive. I write. I teach. I connect the dots others don’t t see. I can talk to anyone. But none of that fits into a hiring algorithm.”

 Boy, can I relate to that. carriebickner.com/2025/02/12/i...

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

This was a fun episode! Just give me an hour of @jason.energy laughing. 😂

@davatron5000.bsky.social @chriscoyier.net I can't believe you guys did a Balatro segment and didn't have me on! 😂

time flies

"If you care about your creativity, and what you make and bring into the world, I'd suggest having your own website. A place you can shape and change as often, or as little as you like." @nazhamid.com YEPPPPPPPPP nazhamid.com/journal/less...

Looks like I'm watching the Super Bowl on a plane. This should be interesting!
