followers i haven't followed back yet, there are more of you than i'm used to and i'm a bit overwhelmed (i'm easily overwhelmed). it's not personal and i generally do follow back if we interact, but if i don't do it right away, i tend to forget. i appreciate you all (except the musk impersonators).

hey so if you find yourself in the year 2026 and you're still experiencing imposter syndrome? please. stop and take one look at the people running the world. because no matter who you are or how unaccomplished, there is simply no way on earth that you're not better than them.

Hvem i fettballrasshelvete er det som er så forbanna dumme i hodet sitt at de tror det er gunstig å stå utenfor arbeidslivet egentlig?! Til helvete med dere, Arbeiderpartiet. Dere pisser på hele arbeiderbevegelsen og jeg blir spysjuk hver forbanna gang dere åpner kjeften for tiden.

VPNs are crucial for letting people work from home, which means companies can downsize to smaller offices.
Gee, I'm sure glad the houses of parliament are not filled with landlords!

been hearing some weird noises outside for the last 20 or so minutes and finally got up to look out the window to check if i could see anything out there in the dark.

apparently he's forgotten about the big box of gravel across the street.

if you've never been the editor of an on this day in history thing, you have no idea. you get high school kids nominating themselves as notable. you get adult kids of the 1st person surviving an organ transplant of a particular kind correcting details about their parent. you get obsessive fans.

well it was nice for a few hours to imagine that some kind of natural cause might have struck on that plane.
but some day it will.

someone at work did a presentation to demonstrate the transformative power of vibecoding. they vibecoded the thing they meant to demonstrate.
surprisingly (to this person, not to me), vibecoding then did the funniest thing.

i may be alone in this, but i think it's really constructive for people on here who all hate the trump regime to throw insults at each other across the pond. we should all focus on spending the next 3 years blaming each other.

as a black comedy, someone should write a version of WWI leadup that has social media. Don't bother about incongruity of fitting 21st century social media tech into early 1900s. Just imagine what it would have been like
