We can try to amplify the voices of the underrepresented.

Sometimes that might mean sitting with “let’s all take 5”.

“Let it kill ten people. I’m still not eating mushed peas, Dad.”

“Someone may inconvenience you, today. Give yourself permission to knock things off of their desk.”

The path south is blocked by lack of DM preparation trees.

These are really packed in there. Roll dexterity.

Needed a 25, sorry.

“Anyway, Kevin - the kid your fiancé is pregnant with is mine, so it’s fine. We’re cool, right Kevin?”

There’s an earthquake happening due to the ride behind them rumbling by between frames.

I’m so tired of “Ai big number” headlines. 100+ packages - but how many good ones? (Genuinely, I don’t know, as I don’t the recognize those listed.)

We need projects that diligently keep the slop out. We don’t need every protect to do so, but it is critical that some do.

We have Meta and Microsoft to provide quick-to-market low quality shit.

The version of Linux that matters is the slow thoughtful good software.

I’m not mad at slop slingers, aa long as they don’t secretly inject slop risk where not welcome.

This duck is the new acceptable answer, when someone asks “what is art?”.

All philosophical answers need not apply. The answer is just this picture.

You got my hopes up.

I don’t wish Alex anything but a long life after a hopefully complete rehabilitation of his sociopsthic habits.

But I do have a nice drink set aside for my own enjoyment on the day that I’m convinced Alex will stop harming others.

I don’t have any particularly strict rule about how I get convinced he is done hurting people. I suspect I’ll see it in the obituaries rather than an op-ed. But I’m open to either.

Alex doesn’t seem likely to fix his life, but he also looks like he doesn’t cares well for his health…so I do have that drink near the front of the cabinet.

Oh well. My nice drink can wait. Maybe I’ll open it to celebrate his reform yet. Like Alice, I try to believe six impossible things before breakfast.

Free markets hurt capitalists.

Fucking communists and their free markets and open competition! None of that for us, please.

Edit: If only there were some way for citizens united to do something to help those poor executives.

I’m glad to hear it.

I have a friend Jody reminds me of, and I appreciate that he’s still around.

Is that the one The Onion now owns?

Feels like this could happen…

How is Jody doing, now?
