I can't believe it took us until 2025 to have an individual champion

I take everything really seriously, by this definition :)

Happy to :) it's a beautiful tradition, I hope it never dies out fully!

Somehow I accidentally spawned a copy of the game in picture-in-picture, and I didn't notice for 3 innings (due to not looking at the screen) until Truf walked in and said "why does the game have a second, smaller version of itself playing in the corner" anyways, let's go baseball!!!!!

wait how is Rino skating third????

I just "fuck yeah"ed like I've never "fuck yeah"ed before

I'm not a functional programmer because of the company I work for; I'm a functional programmer because of the company that allowed me to broadcast 140-character pseudorandom neuron-firings to the only people who would get them, and which has devolved into a fash hellscape bizarrely obsessed with IQ

The actual problem is that I have approx. 40 people I enjoy talking to and hearing from, so losing touch with 1/3 of them represents a huge contraction in my social environment

IATA classifies coconuts (specifically the inside meat, copra) as a combustion risk; umbrellas are pokey weapon-shaped; I believe India specifically scrutinizes spice mixes to rule out explosives?

I miss when Shriram would reply to someone while forgetting to set "reply" and then everyone would just dunk on it, and I also miss when the community could have any sort of interesting discussion in public but also somewhat insulated from unserious trolls/onlookers

I've done a bad job posting here, because it's sort of become the nothingburger estuary for my interests: Mastodon has more PL weenies, Twitter has more chatter overall (even though half of it is insipid and I'm also effectively shadowbanned by virtue of not paying a monthly tithe to Elon Musk)

In retrospect, it's not clear how much of my post-COVID depression stemmed from social distancing as such versus the demise of PL Twitter

Gone but never forgotten (to the extent it was ever known in the first place…)
