I had to contact Cursor's customer support because their AI support bot insisted that I could remove myself from my old job's team account in the UI. Once a human got involved it turned out that the AI had indeed hallucinated this feature.

Hey London! I have 2 tickets for Milkweed (distorted American bayou folk) tonight at the ICA and can’t use them. Free to a good home. open.spotify.com/track/7EX6x6...

After all these years you’ve found your true label

Turned 37 recently and my wife is doing a very delayed clear out of some of our older unworn clothes. Nothing has ever made me feel older some of the styles on Depop. WTF is Whimsygoth?

A screenshot of a dropdown of styles on Depop that contains some styles you would recognise, but also something called Whimsygoth.

I haven't! But I'm intrigued. I closed the wiki page before I learned too much about the plot.

Cameron also pushed back against Labour trying to build nuclear reactors.

I'm making a joke conspiracy theory website for a thing and honestly I can see why so many idiots end up doing this grift. The copy is so easy to write when you're making fun of it.

I've never played a roguelike/lite where the randomness impedes the narrative but I feel like they definitely could've allowed for some progression to help with that, like Hades' keepsakes.

Tommy Palmer @tommyp.bsky.social · Oct 5

Same! After a few runs I was so proud to get to room 45 and then I dropped off very quickly after getting so many bad runs and got nowhere near.

I haven't played it in months but might have to give it another go soon. Maybe even completely restart it.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

We can bring back a classic 90s slaggin with: "You dropped your Brit Card!"

I was straight on this! Your work is always superb so I'm very excited to be able to learn how to add whimsey to my projects.

The Ruby community has a DHH problem

The Ruby community can no longer afford to stand silent in the face of DHH and his toxic ideas.

`true`?

At GOV.UK we always had a joke that it should be 1 form with an input for your national insurance number and a submit button that read "Sort everything out".

I suppose this is still 1 form.

rev. howard arson @theophite.bsky.social · Sep 17

i have written a single form which governs every interaction a person might have with the government by concatenating every form the government produces into a PDF 1.3 petabytes in size
