look, I'm barely technical enough to be dangerous, but I'm pretty sure this is not a response I should be getting when trying to log into my cloudflare

having the voice actor for daffy duck & bugs bunny on your picket line must have felt like having nuclear capabilities. peace to a legend.

WE DEFEATED FASCISM IN BRAZIL, YOU CAN DO IT TOO

FUCK FASCISM

1. NOBODY asked you. Zero bodies. 2. Conflating Diaspora Jews w/Israelis is textbook antisemitism + I'm sure that stat's a lie 3. Most of all, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social embodies more Torah principles than any of these dinguses ever could.

oops, forgot, also made something in the zhug/chimichurri range by whomping the farm share's chives & parsley with garlic, olive oil, and spices. yeah. that's enough for one day

Today I made/froze biscuits for tomorrow, cooked/froze 6 ears of corn, am cooking ~1.5lbs of carrots (some will be part of Tuesday dinner), and voted/dropped off our ballots. Feeling tired but accomplished even if I didn't do one thing (carve pumpkins). That can wait until Wednesday.

This week I wrote about Good Time Country Buffet, an East Village replica of a turn-of-the-millennium southern country buffet—so freakishly faithfully rendered, so uncanny in its simulacrum, that it kind of breaks the mechanism by which we judge restaurant quality www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

the nicest thing about cooking duck a week or two ago is not the duck itself, which was great, but rather the leftover duck fat, which I used to pan-sear potatoes tonight and duck fat potatoes remain undefeated

fuck this, dude.

oh so here's the announcement we were teasing last night and as you can see it is very terrific news and no chicken butts are involved

happy bare minimum Friday to all who celebrate

Remember that loud bang last May? Colleagues at @haystack.mit.edu have used radar and acoustic data to track the meteor and reconstruct its orbit, from beyond Mars to the Cape Cod Bay arxiv.org/pdf/2610.24566 @universalhub.com

Never have I been so happy to be on the T. I left my hotel in NYC 6 hours ago. About another 30-40 minutes until I’m finally home 😭

WE HAVE REACHED RHODE ISLAND, perhaps someday Massachusetts as well

Stuck somewhere near Mystic, CT due to signal issues on the bridge. I just wanna go home, Amtrak, why can't you make this happen

Never would I have thought I would say anything about the NE Regional was better than the Acela, but I had more room under my seat, more obvious seatback storage, and a seat I could sit in upright. WTF, Amtrak, this Acela redesign has *issues*.

this is true Ben Franklin would be utterly delighted by the advances in pornography

There is good in this world, Mr. Frodo.

Walked to Russ & Daughters this morning, snagged bagel sandwiches for breakfast/lunch, am currently full of garlic bagel, horseradish-dill cream cheese, whitefish/salmon salad, and wasabi roe and could not be happier

Please stop putting protein in foods that do not need protein. I do not want protein pancakes or protein chocolate mousse or protein-packed choccie biscuits. I do not want gains. I want a little sweet treat.

Extremely long convention day over. Currently waiting for sushi and plan to spend the rest of the night in my room catching up on Only Connect and maybe the Slow Horses finale. Genuinely enjoying being around zero other humans.

BREAKING: Anthropic reports an $80 billion net loss in the first half of 2026.

Lovely meal with friends tonight at chezjosephinenyc.com. New York is such a wonderful place to visit.

omg I can finally see NYC in the distance, someday I may even arrive 😭

Amtrak conductor: “A journey through three magnificent states, and also New Jersey”

I'd like to thank Xfinity, as ever, for the kind of stellar service that just randomly knocks us off the internet on the day I need it most it's back now, but I'm gonna go pack and come back to QA later

saw an insta video today praising a bagel that comes toasted BY DEFAULT and nope. NOPE. N O P E

vagueposting time: in the interests of not being a dick about a site that's shutting down, I will say that the owner did have a point about the internet needing sites like this. All my other opinions about the site and its business model, or specifically, its lack thereof, still stand.

IT'S POSOLE VERDE NIGHT this is important enough to deserve capslock

Photo from my collection, writing on the back says “General Nuisance. Summer 1954”.

impressed by the T’s dedication to eating every second of the time I had allotted for a walk to my destination the MBTA: sure, you can leave early to allow for our fuckery, but what if we were even worse than you planned for

the excel esports org is trying to set a world record today. you can join for free if you want! They designed an easy case that should take about 5 minutes to complete, but there's no time limit as long as you participate today. excel-esports.com/world-record/

There is good in this world.

saw the Tesla roadster video and am excited for a whole new category of Darwin Awards to drop
