Somewhat unwittingly volunteered for a hot sauce contest at work.

It got rather spicy towards the end…

Adolescence: devastatingly beautiful and heartbreaking picture of normal lives shattered by the tragic ripples of toxic undercurrents in society. A masterclass in understated screenwriting, naturalistic acting and bold cinematography.

@jamespearce.bsky.social @schickling.dev Thanks for the great Localfirst.fm podcast on Tinybase from last year! One thing that wasn't discussed was secure persistence (local, remote). Is there any prior art for adding an encryption layer ahead of persistence/synchronisation in Tinybase or LiveStore?

There seems to be broad consensus across both sides in America that the political system is fundamentally broken. The only disagreement is about whether Trump is the proof or the solution.

RIP David Lynch, the truest of artists. 💔

I always felt deeply inspired by his cinema: his uncompromising vision, the effortless elegance of the velvety esthetics & menacing score, the surrealist mysteries weaving dreams and nightmares into something deep, beyond fiction.
