To be completely clear, as the father of two trans kids, I have practice nurturing trans folks so if you need a dad to do things like tell you awful dad jokes, I'll be your transparent.

*cough*

I said, to be *clear*, I'll be your *transparent*.

*dodges rotten fruit*

Happy trans day of visibility!

"Why is okay for <service dependency> to just break us like that???"

"Because nothing and nobody is perfect and sometimes things break. We give them grace so that, when our time comes, hopefully, they give us grace."

Periodic reminder that if you are the senior IC in a meeting about a late project, it's your job to be the one who tells management "The reason we haven't finished this yet is that it's hard, and sometimes things take longer than expected.” Junior / mid-level folks (often rightly, and especially URMs) don't want to say that for fear of appearing ~bad at their jobs~ or whatever. That's why you take the hit, you can handle it.

I've done pretty much all of my political posting over on Bluesky but wanted to check in here.

1. We're going to win and it's not going to be close.
2. I cut my parents out of my life over their vote for Trump, if you're following me and you are voting for him please show yourself the door and block me on the way out and save me the trouble.
3. We're going to win and it's not going to be close.

Stallman was someone that people knew to warn young ladies about 20 years ago, when a friend of mine was a young volunteer college student who was explicitly warned not to be alone with him in a car. We get new stories about him being terrible every few years. Here’s hoping this time it “sticks” and he fucks off and keeps on fucking off, forever.

If you practice Spanish every day for 2,000 days, you too could rise to the level of being able to follow simple conversations if everyone is kind, understanding, and willing to speak very slowly.

@marcoarment I tried to search around to see if this has been addressed elsewhere but my duckduckgo-fu is failing me. Has there been an official "Top Four is canceled” announcement? Or is it coming back at some point? If the Phish episode was the last, then you went out on top (he says, actively listening to 4/21/22 in MSG as he types this), but I really enjoyed the podcast and would love to see it come back.

You can tell if someone has actually lived on a farm or not based on how much they rhapsodize about the "joy" of "being out in nature” and "being close to the earth”.

In case you didn’t know, 90%+ of Life Coaching is a scam, the vast majority of “life coaches” only “coach” other life coaches and they will brazenly steal every penny you have, wring you dry, and walk away without a care.

How to become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler

Fantasy Edge of Tomorrow meets Isekai. Funny, engaging, I blew right through it. Fair warning it’s a duology and this one, the first, was just published. So it will presumably be at least a little bit of wait to finish the story.

Hey, does any shell's history store the exit status of the commands so that you can know if, as you're searching through and trying to find a working example of a curl that you run once a year and see fifteen variations, which one was the one that, you know, worked?

Like, jokes aside (I figured it out), keeping the exit status and being able to filter on that would be pretty great, right?
