I ❤️ The Muppet Show reboot.

It's like my childhood coming back all over again.

Sabrina Carpenter was the perfect guest.

Kermit the stressed-but-works-it-all-out-in-the-end frog is still my idol.

Your #resistance song of the day:

"Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh"

A lot of the recent coverage on Claude Code talks to the benefit of using Claude to code up new functionality or ideas super fast, however a critical strength of it is all the other tasks that sink time but don't provide as much value.

Gave the Figma Make AI a quick spin to see what it could do redesigning my weblog, then shared the results with a designer friend. She laughed and laughed.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

What I really love is digging into integrating two popular tools only to discover all the docs are out-of-date and none of it's been supported for three years.

this whole thing is on Bezos, a perfect example of why billionaires will not save us

for years he supported the Post and then he decided destroying it utterly at the altar of a wannabe dictator better served his personal ambitions, so he did

I do not have any experience in protest organization or tactics and do not feel that contributing my opinion to any of the related discourses would be helpful and I think more people should probably take that approach

sometimes I remember how, in February 2016, I was assured by “centrists” that Trump would be impeached by his own party if he put a foot wrong.

That was back when some of us thought political parties had ideals.

Of the ten lyrics I posted for identification last friday, only two remain. I've added the release year in case that helps anyone narrow it down a bit:

Idea for integrating AI with meeting software:

Any time you try to schedule a meeting, the AI interrupts you and asks if you would like help drafting an email about the issue instead.

There's no way to turn off this interrogation.
