Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

baseball is the best American sport because it captures the feeling of tenacious not-dying (despite wishing for death) rather the cheap, increasingly manufacturable sensation of feeling alive

"ravioli are savory gushers" "is a hot dog a sandwich or a taco" "a poptart is a sweet ravioli" do you think your games played in the dichotomous key of god's creation bring you closer to him? In your heart, is there a voice claiming that organization is how you apprehend creation? Cleanse your soul

re-upping my position that raimi’s spider-man 2 is the single best superhero ever made, one of his best movies, and also the closest thing anyone has ever done to putting a silver age comic directly on screen
rewatching raimi's spider-man 2 and what's killing me about these movies is just how laser-focused they are on class dynamics. 14 minutes in aunt may starts crying because she gave peter 20 bucks for his birthday and he tried to turn it away and she's ashamed she can't afford to do better by him

I'm at the airport bar. Two seats down from me, a Lincoln impersonator is watching news of the attempted Trump assassination from yesterday and shaking his head. You can't make this up.
