Only a fool yearns to be "Verified" by a website rather than being verified by the Lord

we went decades with nothing and now it’s this

Can't believe all these priests are going all in on this Jesus guy. I checked: he has a prior run in with local law enforcement for causing trouble in the temple and he's also an immigrant from galilee. Also this Barabbas guy is doing way better in the polls

btop is hella goated ngl

Direct File is a great embodiment of GOP governance. There's no rational argument against it. The beneficiaries of scuttling it aren't even important economic actors or essential GOP donors. It is being killed because of an ideological commitment that the government should be bad to people.

“Recession pop” damn first the head of BlackRock and now Spotify

I’ve wanted this for all prior iOS releases but I hope iOS 19 finally delivers a “push notification history/archive” of everything ever received. Hate when accidentally clearing a push and then realizing there was needed info in there but it’s just gone forever.

Yup. They'll send a legitimately awful US citizen to CECOT, and anyone who criticizes it will be accused of supporting the awful person... and then they'll send someone slightly less awful. Eventually, they'll have established that they can send anyone.

Sad day as my beloved @play.date yellow USB-C cable, used for months to connect our phones to the car for CarPlay, finally gave up the ghost and failed. My kid said "maybe you can just buy another yellow cable" which I might be forced to do; it looks so good.

This is insane: SSA is going to start declaring immigrants legally dead (including inventing “presumed dates of death”) so their Social Security numbers stop working, cutting them off from the financial system.

markets soar as investors realize that mommy didn't actually disappear, she was just hiding behind her hands

Welp, back to normal I assume. We definitely won’t be here again in 1-90 days!

All of this and we're still scheduled to host the Olympics in LA in 2028 and (jointly with Canada + Mexico) the World Cup in 2026. After we just told the rest of the world to pound sand. Gonna be a mess.

Had a long conversation months back with a General Contractor bidding out work for our house who insisted that the tariffs wouldn’t be a real thing and that “business folks would tell him it was a bad idea then he would reconsider”.

Great, opening up the Amazon app is now just two giant ads

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

Worth a try! After all this is what got Elizabeth Holmes. Lying to pregnant people that took your blood test? nbd. Stealing Rupert Murdoch’s money? Straight to prison.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

@gruber.foo tbh this is a plausible excuse for the start of the whole Signal leak. Apple Intelligence strikes again!

“If you come up in Silicon Valley, you really do start to believe that because you launched some startup and were successful you have some kind of secret sauce. And everything outside of your founder/startup ecosystem needs to be disrupted.”

I mean the flat reality here is that Apple is just gonna sell a lot less iPhones in the future. Big boost to AppleCare repairs, cases, and screen protectors for keeping old phones going longer.

A big win for the Trump administration today over Nintendo's new Mario Kart, which allows you to play as a turtle, a ghost, and even a cow — DEI gone too far

Well that was a fun 24 hours

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

It’s remarkable how in only five years @tailscale.com has become so critical to me. The first package I install on any server. The way I route around censorship and global data restrictions. The way I stitch my technical world together. Happy five year birthday! #5yearsofTailscale

This would be about enough time for me to get 1/8 of the way into describing my Home Assistant /Unifi setup.
