Currently welcoming our AI overlords.
So I've been trying to eat healthier and mostly cut out sodas, drinking stuff like @drinkliquiddeath.bsky.social and sugar-free drinks instead. I've lost like 15lbs over a few months. But damn, everything's too sweet now. Can't even drink Mt Dews anymore.

At least I can still do slushies though.

TIL "Monte Cook" is a dude's actual name. I thought it was some semi-obscure/niche phrase like Sine Nomine.

There is something indescribably cool about talking to a couple leaders of a small company that you love, and taking them into moving their e-commerce to the platform you work for.

Been running a fun experiment (not recommending this): letting Claude Opus 4 Deep Research pick my stocks for 3ish months

Started at $1,062 after taking a loss (the dip in the graph). Now at $1,637 (+54%)

Just play money in an old account, but the results are... fun

I think my favorite part of the AI code tooling, is the fact that I can bang out any random stupid idea I have without putting much thought into it as long as I give it clear instructions up front.

...I guess that could probably be a bad thing too. 😅

I pulled my Claude Code stats last week and I've used ~3.4 BILLION tokens since April.

How much is too much? Asking for a friend.

I got a shout-out here! Plus the other half of my team working on Roast got a mention too!

I'm late to the game, but I've recently been falling in love with Junji Ito's work.

It's all so wonderfully fucked up!

since this keeps going around, a few common clarifications:

- no pay-to-play. we won’t prioritize comments of subscribers
- we don’t plan to do Twitter-style “paid checkmarks”
- if we do add a “supporter” profile badge, it will be hideable
- bookmarks will be free (when we get to them)

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

It’s not rocket science.
