Used to have a podcast called Hits Don't Lie with my best friend, so I'm full of hot takes about music.
What's your unpopular Star Trek opinion?

Mine: The Q episodes in TNG are some of the worst in the whole franchise. I skip them on rewatches, and I won't explain further.

Someone needs to make a job board that somehow only lists jobs posted by real companies with real hiring teams where real people review your application and real people interview you.

Not like the AI hellscape that the current places such as LinkedIn and Indeed have become.

I wish we would stop calling it "Trump running for a 3rd term" and call it what it is--a plan to overthrow American Democracy.

Everything I've seen about this game gives insane Area X (books by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social) vibes.
All the lighthouse news that’s fit to print! Fun to see Keeper get such a glowing review in the @nytimes.com! (Beaming? Shining?) In the print edition, too!

This man loves to not know things.
Q: Some of your Republican colleagues have raised concerns about Trump opening up the market to Argentinian beef. What are you doing to help American beef farmers?

MIKE JOHNSON: We had some discussion on that yesterday. I don't know the latest developments.

I'm really loving @hardcover.app, but after seeing this vertical alignment issue I'm afraid the site is completely unusable!

So happy to see our rescue dog feeling safe and at home in his own back yard!

We have a doggie door, and he has learned that he can use it whenever he likes in order to go sunbathing. Now that the weather is nice, it's hard to convince him to come inside!

Days like today remind me that it is okay to not have a take. It is okay to feel things personally and not share them online. It is okay to pause and reflect without leaking every bit of your thinking process to the public.

Anyway, back to petting my dog.

So far #silksong is the biggest troll for changing the downward slash! No complaints, but I've died so many times from trying to pogo off things/enemies!

I can't wait to learn how many times the word "fuck" is used!
Thrilled to announce this ground-breaking new book, Area X: The Southern Reach Files! The Central agent in question is, of course, Hargraves from Absolution. The book includes some new ways of approaching storytelling, and also I hope will be satisfying in lots of other ways. More in a thread. 1/?

I've been working a few different project lately, and they're all in #svelte and #svelteKit.

I'm really loving the framework and how things just... work. After years of bouncing off other front-ends, it's nice to find one that vibes with how I think.

Anyone else building stuff with Svelte?

This whole thread is a prime example of how American car culture is a disease that rots away the brain.

Huge milestone with Bolillo today. He got a bath!

Means a lot that he trusts us enough to bathe him with zero fuss. No growls, no barks, no escape attempts. Just a lot of treats and a fluffy dog.

Just adopted a dog!

His name is Bolillo, and we are slowing getting to know each other. Giving him plenty of space to feel comfortable in his new home.

Anyone have tips for comforting and bonding with rescued/adopted dogs?

(also he needs a bath, but that'll come later)

This is what is so frustrating about this moment.

WE KNEW ALL OF THIS BEFORE THE ELECTION!

No new stuff has come out. All of this has been known. We were screaming it every chance we got!
it's remarkably bleak that Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, including an allegation that was adjudicated and in which he was found liable for sexual assault, and yet the American public needs still MORE evidence of his depraved character and unfitness.

For me it is watching Star Trek Voyager on UPN38 growing up! Janeway is forever my captain!

Job hunting right now is so frustrating.

I just spent so much time designing a great resume and writing a heartfelt cover letter template, but I KNOW that no one will ever read them because of AI.

If everything is filtered by AI, who do I write for? The algorithm? The human?

I'm tired.

It is truly bizarre how Las Vegas suddenly ends and the desert begins. Areas like this make me feel as if humans shouldn't even be here!

Anyway, I made a quick stop at the Ice Age Fossils State Park yesterday. Too hot to explore the trails but just look at this beauty of a mammoth!
