Day on The Hill, 1992. Free concert at Univ. of KS. Pearl Jam headlined. I had finals for my debate class 💀

John Moe@johnmoe.bsky.social

How about this? Best concerts that you ALMOST got to see but DIDN’T. Include reasons if you like: Rolling Stones (play rehearsal) Johnny Cash (I dallied) R.E.M. (play performance) Nirvana (canceled, college declined to pay requested $500 appearance fee)

I was 2 pieces away from having this whole set in Animal Crossing

ICE is now in the small Kansas college town where I live, rolling up in unmarked cars, conducting armed, masked kidnappings of people on sidewalks & in the parking lots of chain stores and fast food restaurants

AI coding tools have improved, they are Pretty Good these days. I haven't heard anyone have success generating useful product requirements with AI, at least for complex products. Too much of the knowledge is pay-walled for AI to design in industries like healthcare billing.

In 1992, I was on the student programming board at KU. We had Dr. Ruth speaking and the hospitality team provided a tray of... ham sandwiches. She took one look and handed her sandwich to me.

Fun story about Kay Waldo Barnes... She was hanging out in the Sheraton on the Plaza with her colleagues and dared me to quit smoking at 7pm one New years Eve. Said, "if you're not ready to do it now you'll never do it" www.kmbc.com/article/kay-...

Sharice Davids (D-KS) voted Yes. I'm embarrassed.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

For a generation raised on a diet of Disney shows with dumb parents and wise-cracking teens who ignore them, my kids are pretty great. Gonna pat myself on the back now.

Drop the kids off with a friend or relative who can't go. You know folks who can't go. You endanger the kids or cause a distraction, or both!

There is literally a woman on Threads who complained that there was no bounce house for her kids at her local protest. That’s why you suck. Why some of us aren’t involved. You demand comfort even in the face of chaos.

There's a special bureaucratic thing they do at DoD called "performance reviews"; he could have found out very quickly actually

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Went to the perfect birthday party this weekend. After we ate plenty of delicious food the hostess broke out the floss pics. Four of us sitting at the table, staring into space, quietly flossing. No pressure to talk, just working on our teeth and gums 😂

Those of you who don't live in a Super Bowl town like me may never know the anguish of school Spirit Week: Patrick Mahomes Day! Have your kid wear sweats, curly hair, or a Mohawk! Three's Day - Have your kid wear three of something! Win's Day! We're dreaming about a win - wear PJ's!

Reminds me of KU vs K-State. KU:

Was having dinner with some friends who moved here from the Bay Area and was reminded that the Bay Area has this thing where they see themselves in this rivalry with Southern California and there are anti-SoCal advertisements and memes and people in Southern California are totally oblivious

Someone told me, "you leave a trail of joy in your wake". Don't see anything topping that ☺️

bringing over a question i asked twitter years ago that felt like such a healthy and affirming exercise, and netted me some great friends: what's your favorite compliment you have ever received? same answer then and now: that i carry myself with genuine integrity 😭 i felt so seen!!

Went to the License Plate office in Olathe yesterday. If you're in line when they open at 7:30, choose your line carefully. My line had all seniors and they ALL needed help getting signed in on the laptops; probably cost me 20 places in the queue 💀

I want to learn as little as possible to use your software. Please don't MAKE me learn more.

Micah@rincewind.run

something I have had hammered into me by working in software for the past fifteen years is that it's impossible to overstate how important a smooth and intuitive user experience is most people want things to Just Work, the second you put any tech barrier up you lose 90% of users

I don't want musicians in their 50's to attempt the same energy as when they were young and popular. Sing about your new perspective - no one believes you're still as angry or horny as you were in 1995.

When Luffy gets to the chocolate town and starts eating everything, my old ass could only think of the consequences of eating more than 2 oz of candy. My pancreas whimpered.
