Captain Marvel

I never had the old Marvel comics reading app/account but a new one is coming soon (marvel.webtoon.com) and I'm curious if any of you had the old one and really used it enough to get your money's worth out of the subscription? #marvel #comics

“Margaret Hamilton, who led the 100-person team that wrote the onboard software for the Apollo missions, guiding Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to a safe landing on the moon, died Sept. 30 in Cambridge, Mass. She was 90.” [nytimes.com]

BTW, for anybody who needs to hear it, I used to use 1Password many years ago. I quit because I started to feel like a piggy bank for them. So if you'd like to leave for other reasons (*cough* contributions to DHH projects), Bitwarden is pretty great and works pretty much everywhere.

Rockelle is raising money for the American Cancer society by reading throughout August. Please give to a well run, worthy cause: www.facebook.com/donate/21010...

Finally! My first Postcrossing postcard made it to its destination in Germany. I’m so glad, it has been around three weeks but none of my first three cards had been delivered. Now I’m ready to do a new one that is headed to the Czech Republic.

Please stop asking LLMs questions where you don't know the answer. At least not without asking it a few questions where you do. Only when you see it get some questions clearly wrong will you start weighing the answers you can't evaluate appropriately.

Good news, preliminary investigations have indicated that all Epstein-related records were intentionally withheld. No mistakes were made…

Attended the 30th Souper Bowl here in Santa Fe today. No idea how many people (many many) giving to charity to help with food insecurity and trying amazing soups from local restaurants. So many lovely people everywhere and hopefully a lot of money raised for a good cause.

Last week we learned that Ollie cannot play in the NFL but since then we’ve learned that he is considered too old at three to participate in the Puppy Bowl either. On top of that the Puppy Bowl has already been recorded!!! Scandal! I’m not even sure we can trust the score of dog football at all.

About 50 more games played this year. Part of that was light games like Flip 7, Castle Combo, and Agent Avenue on BoardGameArena.com

Many people know that if you mix ammonia and chlorine bleach it forms a deadly gas. But not everybody knows that if you make a sandwich and use both mayo and Miracle Whip, the same thing happens.

I work all day every day in AI. I like it, it's interesting, and we're working to build something that will do something helpful. However, I am 100% realistic about how good AI really is and so is this truly excellent article about AI + coding: mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the...

Extrajudicial execution of alleged drug traffickers, invasion of Chicago, moving a Space Force that doesn't do shit to another state. All important stuff that points to why we must release all of the Epstein files.

Zozobra burns tonight! This is him a week ago and tonight he's all set up with his body attached in in Santa Fe ready for his big moment later tonight! #zozobra #oldmangloom

I hate how ugly the existing MadGamesLab.com site is, so I'm working on a new design that I'm hoping won't make your eyes bleed. Hint: The new design would be something like this mockup.

Elon workshopping new party names, “How about National Socialist American Workers’ Party?”

A few years ago I created a daily puzzle/game over at MadGamesLab.com and today I've added a new version I call Poker Square Nx3 (madgameslab.com/psnx3). I hope you enjoy it.

Vibe management is absolutely just as effective as vibe coding. www.barrons.com/articles/jpm...

Mark My Words: Very few foreigners will fly into, stay in, or attend matches in the US during World Cup 2026 I don't know if you'll see empty seats, but actual non-native attendees in the stadiums will be a fraction of what they are in Mexico or Canada.

"We have always been at war with Elon Musk." - coming soon from Stephen Miller/Joseph Goebbels

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

I’m hoping that the US makes it through the next few years without going the way of the Roman Empire (no guarantees). But, shouldn’t we start working on a Project 2029 plan just in case? Some checklist of what to do to undo four years of damage?

I want the United States to be a force for good throughout the world, to set examples, and to help other countries. But apparently our only role now is to be a cautionary tale and keep others from electing their own right wing pseudo Nazis. So... you're welcome?

Bunny eggs are even more expensive than real eggs!

I’ve never been the world’s biggest TypeScript fan, but I use it now more than ever and the prospect of it being 10x faster for linting or transpiling will help so many devs: devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/t...

We had very little money when I was a kid, so the library was everything. Magic books were priority one, but I also really liked Ed Emberley's drawing books. He had several books like this one which were about drawing lots of stuff super simply. I saw one at the resale shop the other day.

A piece of open source software just got name checked as a major contributor to the success of an Oscar winning animated film. Wow. Bravo www.blender.org

I'm going to say some bad words now. So you might want to not read this... No Kristi Noem, you stupid piece of shit, I do not congratulate your moron boss (or you) for anything. He is a pathetic embarrassment in need of commercials to stroke his ego. Please die soon. Preferably in a fire.

I'm only one episode in, but Dandadan is weird as fuck and I am here for it.

Post Your favourite #DoctorWho, wrong answers only

I like that BG Stats offers a way to post your previous year.

Something has been nagging at me for a while. I'll take the hit for being a bitch and saying it. Artists get frustrated about AI invading art, but software writers face the exact same. Loads would love to replace us entirely, but no one gives a damn.

I love the idea of cool advent things which aren't inexpensive chocolate behind doors :) Here are three coding/development related ones I've found this year: adventofcode.com, adventofdocker.com, and eli.li/december-adv...
