🫐 Science never asks “yes, but should we?”

In this case, yes!

[phone rings]

Me: "Yeah?"

_: "Hey, it's [charity you have a recurring donation to], how are you?"

Me: "Tired of receiving calls from you."

_: "Would you like us to call you at another time?"

Me: "No, never again, please." [hangs up]

In the same way that you can tell a 20th century movie by their establishing shot of Manhattan including the twin towers, now we can do the same for establishing shots of the White House.

Bloody terrorists!

I am looking for a full-time job.

Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.

If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

The orange iPhone 17 Pro is a great Halloween fashion accessory. 🎃

Product idea: some sort of vest or apron (or bib?) for cat owners that lets the animal knead the crap out of your chest without destroying your clothes. 🐱 ❤️

“Waiting for the other shoe to drop” is a very bipedal-centric phrase.

Sci-fi nerds! I’m trying to introduce my 12yo son to Firefly. I remember liking it back in its day, and remember that Sci-fi nerds lament its short life.

Gonna be honest: pilot is sort of a slog. Encourage me to continue?

I feel like my in-ear AirPod Apple Fitness California pixie dream girl trainer is really into me.

She's pretty excited about all my walking workouts.

I'm breaking personal bests left and right.

😂 Just got a DAI podcast ad for the Spanish tax authority, convincing me that “sharing means caring”.

I thought tax wasn’t optional.

Spanish news is having too much playing the Oceans Eleven theme over the Louvre robbery coverage.

TIL: October 11, 1975 was the first episode of SNL and also the wedding of @billclinton.bsky.social and @hillaryclinton.bsky.social.

George Carlin only performed at one of them, though.

You should see the size of the hole I blew in my foot today with React Suspense.

Went to look up the new <Activity /> component for React 19.2 and Google helpfully guessed I was trying to figure out how to react to an active shooter. 😭

Thanks, 🇺🇸!

I was just chopping cauliflower whilst listening to a podcast with AirPods.

At one point I doffed a ‘Pod and set it on the counter. When I went to put it back in, I almost grabbed the wrong white bulb with a stalk!
