nothing is funnier to me than hozier doing a 10th anniversary release of his original self-titled album that he recorded outside and releasing it as "feat. NATURE", like the birds in the background are part of another fucking band

it's kinda fucked up that no OSS browser has the capability to remap keyboard shortcuts. if i can't navigate my tabs with H, J, K, and L, i will set myself on fire(fox)

your friday night isnt popping off until you're blasting the bootleg rip of "Temple of Storms (Combat Glockenspiel Version) - Cadence of Hyrule (OST)" directly into your ears with the volume high enough to finally deafen you for the rest of your life

the sequel to stardew valley is Microsoft Excel, where you make a spreadsheet for a second runthrough to minmax farm profits

some grad friends of Amanda’s recently invited us to chilli’s and i was skeptical at first. then we cumulatively slammed back like a dozen holiday margs for maybe $80 — gotta admit i was wrong to be skeptical, they kinda rock

pretty crazy that the 2000s was the era of a hit band, the plain whiteys

pretty on-the-nose that Hims is an influencer peddled product for erectile dysfunction and Hers is an influencer peddled product for weight loss.

going into 2025 with this energy

the relationship meta is going so deep undercover you *have* to get a second wife, babe, it’s part of the investigation

broke: relationships are about sex. woke: relationships are about taking a pure soul and together developing a malignant codex of unhinged inside jokes until your communications are absolutely indecipherable to anybody else in your lives

implicit casts watching you multiply ints by floats before saving them to a typed schema

First day taking over as the economics columnist at the New York Times. My first question: what is the economy

reconfiguring my home network

my partner makes fun of my chronically fucked up sleep schedule but now that we’re in sweden on an 8-hour time difference, guess who wins today? *this guy* 😎👈👈

i will never run windows again as long as i live.

an excerpt from my absolute favorite review of Challengers. why would the pulitzer exist if not for this

i am at the edge of a kliff — the k stands for kubernetes

imagine being a comedian with a lifetime of experience in avoiding controversy, only to fall on the sword of public opinion promoting a movie about pop-tarts

on days where i'm struggling at work, i can at least fall back on being a very particular flavor of personality hire
