I'll be streaming around 2 PM PST to help out with the GBCER! Probably a grab bag worth of stuff. Should wrap up around 3 or 3:30 to go watch the Super Bowl, but worst comes to worst we can get an hour of Spelunky in.

these notification icons are not the biggest lies that Facebook has ever pushed but they're one of the more obvious "boy that cried wolf" things I've seen in my email. I know I don't have messages, Zuck, what are you trying to achieve

I know we're all tired of AI stuff but frankly I'm over the quiz economy. people don't need to be needled into taking the LinkedIn quiz when they're updating their network that they're part of a 150,000 person layoff. No one needs a quiz about granny's apple strudel recipe. stop quizzin' me
