2026 being all about AI hot takes is really making me lament every decision in which sans-serif won.
Cleaning Out The Whole House Challenge: Only eat food you already have, for as long as possible.
Just found this perfectly preserved issue of Rolling Stone tucked between a couple of my larger Star Wars books.
...I'm gonna read it.
Aw yeah, about to go get my sweet, sweet flu+covid vaccinations for the year (and then spend a couple days getting cussed out by my own immune system).
Walking around in my socks in the kitchen making food happen, I spot some debris on the floor.
Looking closer, it's a real big spider.
Very freshly squished.
I'm the only one here.
I hate everything about this.
Lots of talk around today about AI eroding mentorship in tech.
After decades in the industry, I'm honestly impressed that someone figured out how to do less than "Hello new hire. Here's the code. GOOD F#@^ING LUCK WITH THAT! *disappears*"
If I could wave a wand or something and stop news stories about issues impacting more than one person from starting like "It was 8am one unremarkable morning in April, when Tommy Bleepblorp, fresh out of college and brimming with ambition, noticed on the way to his internship position that something was amiss."
I think at one point, stuff like this must have made people pay extra attention. Now it just makes me think if I scroll down to the bottom of the page, I'll get a killer brownie recipe.
"To recycle small metal pieces (under 2 inches), like metal lids, screws and nails, collect inside a soup can, crimp tightly closed, then put into mixed recycling."
/me looks at huge tub of old screws, adds 20 soups to shopping list
Hey: Can I get #fedihired maybe?
Best fit with my 19 years of experience would be building and managing software teams, or writing code myself. I'm full-stack, but I have more fun with backend + database work.
Preferences:
* Org size <=200 people
* 100% remote work (otherwise, PDX)
* Org is not currently ditching DEI work
* Org is engaged in doing something that will buy the Earth some extra runtime...
* ...or at least trying very hard not to shorten it

@SecularJeffrey I played Star Wars Galaxies back in the day, and l absolutely believe they did.

/me reads "expect fun", waits patiently for several days
Geeze. Art projects that involve using my hands really do tend to give me the extreme hyperfocus like nothing else these days.
Last thing I remember thinking about 12 hours ago was "I'm just going to paint this thing for a few hours."
Basic Litch.

@_elena One time, in like 1998, I found a patch of clover where each stem had an outrageous number of leaves. Six, seven, eight, twelve... took a while to find a four, but I finally found one!
I ate it.

@RickiTarr@beige.party I had a friend who slowly shedded all other modes of conversation over the course of about three years.
I sometimes wonder why they think we don't talk anymore... but I am not nearly curious enough to ask.
Replying to
@neilk@xoxo.zone Maybe they got rid of the part where people only reappear to yell at you for doing something wrong?
Is... is that mentorship?

@airshipper@cloudisland.nz The funny (as in funny-haha) thing is, I've heard real journalists talking to eachother about doing this sort of thing like it's the absolute case cracker for giving the work real meaning in the world.
I... don't... agree. With that.
I always liked the word "vapid". It's a lot like "vacuous", but it sounds much faster.

@GossiTheDog Wow. That was really something.
I default to expecting these bozos to be unusually charismatic, or at least slightly interesting to listen to.
Replying to
@bd808@mastodon.social I'm so glad this DIY swag didn't get shut down.
I still have my shirt.

@nookipedia@tanuki.social Hold up, did they just bury the lede on finally being able to craft multiple things at once?
Replying to
@iwein@mas.to I am still looking, yes. I did manage to get a short-term contract consulting gig, but that will be done pretty soon.
I sure am glad that "git ass" isn't an actual command, because I would accidentally run it 15 times a day.
#1 most popular typo with my fingies
It's creeping up on 2am Sunday night, and not only am I not asleep: "Santa Baby" is blaring away in my head.
Tomorrow is going to be way too early.
Looking for a good icon that correctly expresses the concept of nudging someone, and, I gotta say, some of these make me feel a little uncomfortable in a way that makes me want to use them immediately.

This would also work as a pet bed if you have a colossal dog, or bear

@ZachWeinersmith I think the one that bugs me the most can be described as kids at some kind of (possibly fantastical) boarding school who apparently never have classes or assignments or tests or anything.
Replying to
@ansate@social.coop I understand! This beast definitely competes with couches, and adult-sized beds.

@tryst@meow.social Oh, yeah: Sorry, I had to abbreviate it in the original post for character count reasons. I'm in Portland, Oregon, USA.
