For those who need some joy in your today.
This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Conversely, in San Francisco there's a FOMO brewing into neurosis and anxiety about "I could be doing more". It's unhealthy, and it seems we're outsourcing our human condition at this point. "Token Anxiety" about running vibe coders in the background.

I am not a fan of genAI, to put it mildly. But one reason I love reading @ftrain.bsky.social is because he knows what he's talking about. He writes both software and thoughtful essays. If he says that AI has come for coding, we should pay attention.

This is also the book I really want to read from new Vertigo. Going to get my copy today. If you've never read @thekylestarks.bsky.social, he's funny and smart and you've been missing out. And the art from @stevepugh.bsky.social looks pretty damn cool, too.
My most anticipated Vertigo book is here! Shout-out @thekylestarks.bsky.social @stevepugh.bsky.social for living up to the hype. Can't wait to see where this goes. GO BUY IT!

Hey, @lataco.bsky.social is raising money to launch an investigative news unit; their current priorities involve looking into "less lethal" weapons used on protesters and more thorough documentation of ICE kidnapping.

Robert Duvall was an extraordinary actor in every role; he deserved every award and accolade. But my favorite will always be Bernie in THE PAPER (1994). "We reek of opinion, Henry."

The thing about Casablanca being the greatest film of all time is people don't believe you and then they watch it
You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????
