Fun fact: `protocol Enumerable not implemented for nil of type Atom` is the error returned when you try `:value in variable` but `variable` is accidentally `nil`, such as what happens when variables that get set for real don't get set in tests.

I can't stand the fact that this wad is almost surely going to be the Democrat choice in 2028.

I made soup, so I burned my mouth.

As is tradition.
A bowl of homemade turkey soup with a spoon in it. The noodles are gluten free penne noodles, and sitting on top of the noodles are celery and carrots because the noodles were cooked separately and put in the bowl first In the background is my laptop, because I'm eating this whle sitting on the couch.

You last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
Reddit post: [TW] The bigots have spoken: Trans women are the peak of human achievement. Submitted by Starfire_dragoness 1 day ago in traaaaaaannonnnnnns We have been banned from sports events: Because of biological advantage. We have been banned from beauty pageants (which often judge character in addition to looks): Because of biological advantage. We have now been banned from chess: Because of biological advantage. So, body, mind, and spirit, bigots have confirmed we are superior in every way. Rise fellow dark goddesses, and let them fear our terrible and majestic glory.

Real excited to dig into the next part of Silksong. I had to look up a hint to get there and it turns out I was a hair’s breadth away anyway.

The kid is reading our Calvin and Hobbes books and got to this strip, whereupon he asked me to explain the last panel. Because people (well, this household anyway) don't have thermometers hanging outside their windows anymore. We just have phones.
Calvin and Hobbes strip from 1990-01-03, by Bill Watterson, Copyright Universal Press Syndicate, used here to illustrate an anecdote Panel 1: Calvin is speaking to his mother, who is seated in an armchair. Calvin: How cold is it outside? Mom: I don't know. Why don't you check? Panel 2: Calvin is running to the door, because Calvin basically can't walk anywhere. Despite it being obvious now, they didn't diagnose ADHD in 6 year olds as easily in 1990. Panel 3: Calvin is standing in an open outside door, air currents and snow blowing inside the house. Calvin is unfazed by the cold. Panel 4: Same situation, but zoomed out a bit. Calvin is covered in snow, implying he's been standing there for some time. He is still unfazed. His mom, now angry, is reaching toward him, presumably with the intent to remove him from this situation and close the door. Calvin: It's pretty darn cold, I'd say. Mom: Let me show you an interesting gadget that's hanging outside the window.

I am calling for a nationwide #NoCowards Protest to shame the Democrats for caving on the shutdown.

Ok, beat Lace and found the next boss in Silksong, but knowing what I know about HK, there's no way this is the _last_ boss. But instead I went a-wandering and found a whole-assed new zone. So that feels like the more pressing task.

Mamdani was elected and already NYC is transing the trains.
Alt text: A notice with large bold text stating: “F and M trains will swap routes between Manhattan and Queens starting in December 2025.” Below, smaller text reads: “We’re making this change to improve reliability. Here’s what you need to know about how your trip may change.” Under that is a link-style line that says “New York City Transit.”

Oh! There was a deer in the neighbor's yard the other day!
Picture of a doe grazing on a suburban lawn In late Autumn with a small cutting of the once-massive forest that blanketed New England behind it. The image is a very zoomed in picture taken from the front seat of a car because have colonized the deer's ancestral homeland and now only interact with wilderness behind glass. Despite it being late Autumn, there are a remarkable number of leaves on the trees, both green and fall-colored, indicating the warm season we've had that is hopefully not heralding the destruction of ourselves and our ecosystems.

You know, setting my streaming station to seed off Orbital is bringing up some tunes that I haven't heard in 20 years but absolutely remember. Did not expect that.

Ahh that wonderful time of year where it's 2pm but it feels like 6:30pm. End DST, please, because this "lying to ourselves for over half the year" bullshit is stupid.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

That moment in Silksong when you finish a days long fight-die-runback cycle and make it past a plot point only to get absolutely bodied by a boss fight.

Cool, cool. Just hit my head a little when I fell down. Nothing bad, but I'm going to have a headache today.
