You've got to entertain the dumb ideas. Otherwise they'll never invite their smart friends over.

any post you put in that is gonna wobble and fall over

Prose and Khans @temujin9.t9productions.com · 55m

Prose and Khans @temujin9.t9productions.com · 12h

that's kinda the goal

sure beats the alternative of outliving it

Prose and Khans @temujin9.t9productions.com · 12h

it's somewhere between in-group signalling and weak attempts to defame

it's in no way earnest conversation and i avoid people who do it

This is a wildly creative set of customizations for Claude Code, using the new plugin system they just released. There are SO many fascinating ideas in this! Strongly recommend reading it and then spending some time exploring the accompanying repo github.com/obra/superpo...

people act like doing annoying little logic problems is the only source of frisson in engineering

sure, they get me a dopamine drip

but what really gets those juices flowing is solving important problems

and claude lets me do that way faster and more reliably than i could alone

i mean ... the rent IS too damn high ...

Prose and Khans @temujin9.t9productions.com · 1d

probably not the best idea

but there's something to be said for occasionally going outside and popping off a few to keep the rent reasonable

but alas, that ship has sailed

part of a leader's job is to draw aggro and tank for the team in times of contention

in this, jay has far exceeded expectations: i still see aggro wankers in her mentions, but the number going after other bsky team members has dwindled to almost zero

well done

humanities sounded academic

there seems to be this weird pressure on academics to avoid subjects where they are amateur, to avoid appearing ignorant?

maybe they are and just aren't inclined to talk it up as much as they're inclined to hype up their friends?

i do plenty that i consider impressive and complex, but it would be boring to post about it

(you know your friend and i don't, so alternately maybe i'm just full of shit)

"Sky burial" is a Western term; it is not used by Tibetans, who call it "giving alms to the birds"

She told people harassing her employees to fuck off. Those people are in the long slow process of now realizing they should fuck off. It's probably gonna be a bit more before they actually fuck off, though.

(So I and others are taking the opportunity to build modlists.)

you probably can't subscribe to the Violence / Harassment one at the moment, because people on it mass-reported it, and the mods are understandably trigger happy

(i'll contest that more after it calms some)

drama and spam still both work, though
