Probably late to the game on this, but, has anyone written a parody of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” about Trump?
Pardon the language, but too good not to share and ponder: “If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.” (Raylan Givens, fictional character in “Justified”)
Looking for the best pocket tape measure. Ideally something that can do imperial and metric. Maximize versatility and minimize size. Any recommendations?
I don’t think ICE is going to do very well in Hell. 🧊🔥
Is this crazy or no? 2oz bourbon, 4oz orange juice, 1/2oz maple syrup. 🥃🍊🍁
It’s just great being a parent in the USA and wondering every day, as you hug you kids, tell them you love them, and send them off to school, if they’re going to make it home alive. God damn this modern Molech.
Sarah Jones pulls no punches about Dobson: “Maybe my father would have hit me regardless. But Dobson made it easier. Dobson promised families like mine that we’d be happy if we listened to him, so we did. He had a doctorate, and he followed God, and he was so damn pleasant on the radio.” nymag.com/intellige…
Hmm. “What If I Stumble?” by DC Talk hits different in 2025.
Helping to give a “Tech Talk” at work today! Still nowhere near as scary as teaching the Bible to middle schoolers. I think my time in youth ministry taught me more than anything else about public speaking.
Anyone out here ever exported an Apache Cassandra DB to move data to a PostgreSQL DB? Trying to make sure I understand how to handle nodes, secondary indexes, etc. Right now I’m leaning toward using DSBulk unload for data extraction.
Still on the lookout for a good Mastodon server. Any recommendations?
I still really want a Supernote tablet. Just not sure how much I’d actually use it, since I’m not a PhD student annotating a bunch of PDFs anymore. I love the IDEA of using it, though!
Chilly mornings do my soul some serious good.
What are your favorite YouTube channels?
Watching Ratatouille with the kids. It definitely still holds up!
Trimming-down my social media presence, at least for now, back to just Micro.Blog. I love how quiet Micro.Blog is, but it does feel rather, idk, lonely, compared to Mastodon and BlueSky. Any tips for addressing this?
Cal Newport: “This all points to a critical question that, until recently, few would have considered: Is it possible that the AI we are currently using is basically as good as it’s going to be for a while?” www.newyorker.com/culture/o…
Deleted my omg.lol account, which also removes my social.lol. Anyone got a good Mastodon server they’d recommend?
Getting really tired of the perpetual, cyclical drama between social.lol/omg.lol and micro.blog. Paid for 10 years of omg.lol 2 years ago, but I’m ready to leave 8 years early. This is not a defense of anyone and their personal views. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
This 2025 Superman movie was the first Superman movie I’ve seen where I was older than Superman. 👴🏻💀🪦
