This is so bullshit- Carmel car service sent me a “National Icecream Sandwich Day” email- no idea why- so I hit unsubscribe…. But the link ONLY Unsubscribes from the list for 2026 Icecream sandwich day…. No ability to mark all marketing!

New Orleans has so many completely unique subcultures- and when you are in it it seems so normal- but sometimes I remember just how odd it is. Like- every weekend in summer- gays have pool parties. It’s stated each time that it’s BYOB, but generally the hosts have food and drink already.

This is just a thing in this sub community- and there are so many others! It’s a city teeming with community and that means so many traditions and opportunities and things to explore.

I love NYC too- but most of the specific things there are just public behaviors and norms that are NYC specific… very little on the community / culture front.

Bring your own towel, arrive 30 minutes after stated start time, leave before 6pm unless specifically requested to stay, and of course bring drinks to share. Typically a good idea to come with your own insulated non-glass cup.

I can’t emphasize enough how many of these there are every weekend at private homes in this city- and how careful invite lists are curated. Getting too many invites to attend them all means you are doing well socially!

Something about spending my week plugged into a host of AI agents has lead me to crave spending my weekends reading. Just sat in 34°C heat on my side patio with an icy drink and a 900 page book- Very new for me.

I really do feel like AI has at least tripled my output, but it also means my creativity and mental bandwidth is pushed to its max every day- all day.

Okay, this is with their iOS app, but I am actually shooketh how much my gams here are clearly Sega encoded. I don’t think I ever really realized just how different and recognizable these image processing outputs would be…

Much of my adult life I have spent weekends playing intense grand strategy or building games (city skylines, railroad tycoon, etc) Now- I feel way too drained of creative juices to want to do that.

Tax me, baby! I worry a lot more about our kids getting a good education and taking care of our elderly and people being able to get to their jobs without delays or burdensome costs. I’ll fly economy twice a year- no problem! (Okay fine, premium economy)

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

I feel like there are so many utility apps for iOS try and charge for in-app purchases and upgrades- that we should really have open source alternatives. Like: * gps speedometers * white noise machine apps * emdr beepers What else do you all wish there were high-quality, no-IAP utility apps?

@hamptonmakes.com Thankyou for block-uuidv7! I needed to do some UUIDv7 timestamp manipulation this week, and there was your gem, barely a month old, already doing everything I needed! Couldn’t have been easier ❤️

So sad I missed this, but so thankful to @jremsikjr.bsky.social for including #NewOrleans in his tech conference roadtrip! I really do think tech is going to be key to the city surviving and thriving- I mean if you can work from anywhere- why not a friendly, warm, fun place?

😍 @xoruby.com New Orleans is complete and was great! Lots of new to me faces.

Yeah, this stuff is outrageous. It’s MY hardware- how did we get here? Okay, I know how we got here- “App Store Quality Control” which does have some value. But that should be able to be opted out of in all instances!

Yup! #google #android #BigTechShouldNotExist

Is it just me or are all of the weather apps just so incredibly wrong now? Today was 0% chance of rain, and now it’s almost 1pm and it’s basically flooding with a huge lightning storm.

“Alligator Alcatraz” Does anyone else replace Alcatraz with another famous “temporary holding facility” that starts with A? #deportations #alligator #florida

There shouldn’t be billionaires. $250m is enough for anybody. Someone who doubles their salary, let’s say $80k to $160k has transformed their life and ability to thrive. A billionaire that goes from $2b to $4b has no change in lifestyle.

And the mere existence that anyone can amass an additional $2b does not show their business acumen, it shows that the system is rigged to allow additional wealth hoarding. Someone with equal business skill and only $10 in the bank has effectively no chance at gaining an extra billion.

The Library of Congress is a research library. You have to be 16 to access it. Leavitt is lying.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?  Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

Everyone needs this!

okay...but hear me out: ``` // package.json { extends: "../other-repo/package.json" } ``` and when publishing to NPM publishes the flat tree with merged overrides (yes i know this won't happen, but i have a need for it)
