Having a dog means never having to use the bathroom alone… I mean I still do, but Dylan would prefer I didn’t.

Either Microsoft is shitting their pants after watching this video or they are completely asleep at the wheel. When LTT is going Mac... yeah, it's pretty much game over.

I don't think AI will take everyone's job, but it will definitely take the jobs of anyone who becomes dependent on AI to do their thinking for them.

I've hit the point in my life where I do not care that my phone is 5 years old, and in 5 years time, I am relatively sure I won't care that it is 10 years old. Feels good.

Politicians being too dumb to understand the difference between transgender and transgenic would be the funniest thing to happen in the US lately if it wasn't so fucking dangerous.

Prediction: by the end of Trumps term we will have coined some version of “Dumb Man Theory” which will be a much dumber version of Mad Man Theory used by the right as an alternative explanation for how clearly idiotic this administration is.

Ya know, I hate to say it but I think the Trump admin has convinced me there is a use case for blockchain technology. All US government website content should be stored on an immutable ledger so this bullshit is at least easy to track with what changed and who changed it.

Well at least this week should serve as irrefutable proof that there is absolutely not some organized powerful iteration of “the deep state” out there. Surely they won’t keep using that insane excuse right? Right?

Rolled my ankle today, I’m fine. Cruise line is insisting I see their doctor. I don’t want to and am insisting they must pay me for the privilege of me going to their doctor. They are baffled and unamused by my position.

Today we lost my office mate Beef. She was going in to the vet due to an eye infection and weight loss and ended up not being able to come home with us. My wife was able to hold her as she passed. I’ll miss her greatly.

I keep having these absolutely wild conversations with my parents where they express a view which is basically, "Anyone should be able to get an abortion if they want or need it. Obviously we are pro-life, but we wouldn't impose on others."
Like... what do you think pro-choice is!?

A home office is kind of a reverse mullet. All the fun stuff stays up front where the camera doesn't see it, and in back is all business so you look professional.
