I realize this is a very obscure niche statement that will only mean anything to a handful of people, but:

There is no Eos for open source maintainers, okay? There is no magical fairy that will run along you and approve PRs or close issues or write code. You have to do it.

The comments and quote posts on this are…disgusting?? It’s a Hanukkah party? We eat fried foods in Hanukkah because the oil burned for eight days so we use oil to commemorate it is?? This isn’t even lavish it’s just a holiday meal?? Can y’all be normal about Jews??

Fuck Trump and also this ain’t it

Brown University released a statement about a Palestinian student that's being smeared online as the shooting suspect.

Not going to share his post because it includes the student's personal info but one of those spreading this harmful rumor was the spokesperson for Turning Point USA, Andrew Kolvet.

Working on the Unreal version of Yarn Spinner, and we think we’ve worked it out.

People like UE so much because you have so much free time waiting for everything to compile, you can catch up on all your emails.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

The irony of the next year's "color of the year" being an uninspiring white is just too much.

Did you know that Yarn Spinner tests and deploys all our software on some old PCs a friend found in a dumpster? 🗑️🔥

We entered a competition to win $5000 to buy better gear, so we can test and deploy to more storefronts and platforms. Now we need YOUR VOTE 🫵 Help us out? 💚 woobox.com/fw8p3z/galle...

My niece and I take holiday reading seriously. Shout-out to the amazing folks at Kepler's Books; especially the seller who immediately whisked us off when asked for romantasy and also did an amazing job saying monster-fucking without actually saying it.

she probably told him that she's elon's handler and he's only figuring out now why she was laughing while she said it
The same article that reported the throuple rumor ALSO reported that the Millers had gotten close to Musk in order to run him like an asset, with Katie Miller joining DOGE to keep a closer eye on Elon.

And Stephen went around DC saying he was running Musk using his wife as Elon's handler

Listen, I started making cards to keep myself from doom scrolling and to focus on making pretty things for those I love. Really need the USPS for that. Quit selling our country infrastructure please.
The USPS is being threatened with massive layoffs and privatization. I made these postcards which—when mailed—will be seen by mail handlers, scanners, carriers and the recipient. I just printed 3,000 more. Order cheaply from halfletterpress.com or message me your email for the PDF to print them.
