i think it’s nice that they let the tgirl self checkout attendants at the qfc wear their collars

pinball is such a weird abstraction for any sort of media tie-in

feels like a golden era for pinball tbh. the new pokemon and sonic tables are great. i played a new dune (!) table and an avatar table today that were both great. just tons of fun stuff coming out

fascinating how those autonomous omni wheel chairs became commonplace in airports with essentially zero fanfare

why is the bar playing kpop demon hunters music. there’s a jukebox. did someone request this. did someone Pay money for this?

fantasy is when you can replace “space” with “sea” and “space ship” with “boat” and it still makes sense. sci fi is when the story includes equations and diagrams and has citations at the back

magic is when the author doesn’t think it’s worth wondering how the world works. technology is the stuff that’s left over

i don’t think you should need a prescription to get actual meth either

our righteous accommodating healthful amphetamine medications for productive office workers versus their maladaptive abusable amphetamine drugs for worthless addicts

why do they even make it possible to recline economy class airplane seats? just to pit me against my fellow human?

guy behind me is, as far as i can tell, repeatedly poking the back of my seat with some sort of baton or broom or similar

it's so awesome when you get an unwanted dick pic on grindr so you close the dm and grindr decides that's the perfect moment to show you an ad

there’s a PACKAGING EXPO in chicago rn this is like a wet dream for me

code review is such a weird phenomenon. it’s only quite recently that we’ve started expecting all code to be reviewed outside of regulated environments, nobody can agree on the purpose of code review (accountability, knowledge sharing, catching bugs?), there’s no clear standard for rigor…

i saw a quote to the effect of “it’s not fair that someone can produce ai slop with almost no effort and expect me to spend my afternoon reviewing it” but … *do* they expect that? if you asked them i would guess that they expect you to spend a few minutes at most checking if it looks totally insane

there should be a minions pinball game

huge ups to chicago for having a train that goes from the airport to downtown which is faster than the equivalent uber! seattle also has a train from the airport to downtown but it is quite significantly slower!

i wonder what age kids start feeling embarrassed about those bulky ipad cases with the huge handles

porter robinson should've released a worlds live album tbh and it's so sad he never did. hearing the flicker live flip 12 years ago fried my brain permanently and i've never been able to hear it again
