my 2025 in review <- here's a bunch of stuff I wrote!

RIP Walter❤️

This is the perfect campaign for Bluesky since we were all of the right age 22 years ago 🙃

I think Lula won?!?! Between that and Serbia, it’s a good day for democracy!

oh COME ON

🤞🤞🤞

UPDATE: this is amazing, gonna keep it on at least through the election!

Can’t get enough of these

ooh gonna try this out

Amazing story, also I'm sorry what

Perfect way to stop doomscrolling

One byte secret keys, niiiiiiice

Vote, Texas!

whaaaaat are we doing here

It is, ultimately, good for baseball to have heroes and villains. To have teams like the Yankees, Astros, and Dodgers that people love to hate. But man is it nice to just be able to watch an ALCS between two perfectly pleasant teams who will then play a perfectly pleasant team in the World Series.

This is even better when you imagine it in Rickman’s voice!

Gonna press the button for him even harder now!

1. this is good! 2. Hopefully trans issues will follow the trajectory of gay marriage, where it was unpopular right up until it wasn’t 3. I do wonder if there’s a bit of a halo effect since Trump/Republicans are so unpopular right now 4. But, see #1!

It is a good but depressing book!

it makes me sad because this is a big, beautiful country with so many incredible things to see and I want more people to get to experience that

This is why I’ve come around to “every billionaire is a policy failure” - no one person should have this much power! (and, you know, unfettered campaign spending is also bad)

Interesting stuff!

lol

good news!

Milwaukee sweeps the Dodgers

It’s really going to happen, isn’t it?! (baseball)

oof

🤡 #Astros

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

Just a bit over a year of work with a small but dedicated team, very happy to see it go out into the wild! www.firefox.com/en-US/enterp...

I think it’s important for anyone who (completely understandably) checked out on AI the second the crypto/nft/metaverse/snake oil chuds started pushing it to realize that, in at least the domain of software development, we are very much living in a scenario where the snake oil actually works

Another reason to not be on X is to not support this guy!

What I do think is interesting about Paxton, in particular, is that he's very Trump-like. Absolutely the sort of candidate that the GOP thought "Well, the boss is Teflon so obviously they'll vote for Paxton" and it just once again shows that Donny's armor doesn't transfer to literally anyone else

this is amazing

Seems like a real bad sign for #Astros fans

“I have come to bluesky to post about how everyone should go back to Twitter and then when I get yelled at I go, see, it’s so unfriendly here” is exceedingly tiresome at this point

“(genius-level)” is sending me

if Elon is spending millions of dollars of his own money to push this message with paid media, what do you think he does to the black box algorithm on his platform that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are shown to others?

Seen a lot of Republican anti-trans ads in Texas and it doesn’t feel great!

Aww yeah

Huh, interesting!

hahaha amazing

#Astros won as many games in the ALDS as the Yankees did 🙃

Me watching baseball: ouch

Most people don’t choose their browser. But if you use Firefox, then you did, and that choice deserves to be respected regardless of where you live.
