Guys, it has been between -20 and -45 below zero all day, and the fine folks in Minneapolis couldn’t care less. Fuck Ice.

Me: Babe can we take a vacation to the boundary waters (in Minnesota) this summer?

Him: you mean Mosquito wonderland? Biting black fly forest?

Me: worth it!

I have never wished i was a Minnesotan until today!

Should I submit a talk about my deciduous tool to this?

It seems like it leans towards the space of what I'd want to get into about craft and evolution of tooling and stuff.

And its in London so @eastcoastemo.bsky.social would be super pleased with the trip

giving me some hope.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

SO MUCH THIS!

software development is an art.
But it's fun to play with power tools. That's it. I'm not super pro AI. I am super for fucking around to make art with computers that makes programmers especially think differently and maybe captivates regular people with deeper technical relationships based thought seeing these weird projects bloom

i think @bobbby.online's perspective is valid AF!

this is the "developer" that my career has been focused on for the past 20+ years. so if you're interested in that kind of shit ... watch this freak of nature! (I say that with nothing but love and awe)
I stand by this lol those who are making friends with the coding power tools are going to some weird places and the future dreamers are just a bunch that rub me the wrong way
A lot of the pro ai people just suck cuz they’re boring and only wanna talk about a wild future they have dreamed up that is self interested based on the first formative sci-fi novel they read who produce little to nothing of value as they sit and increase the height of their chat log stack

Let the picture of the little five year old boy standing facing the car and the old man being dragged out of his house with no shirt on, let those images burn into your brain. We don’t have to be this country. We don’t have to live this way.

There is no other way to read it - that joke was ABSOLUTELY misogyny coded if not straight up misogyny.

there is no other way to see it.

what a stupid joke.

i'm disappointed the writers let it pass.

one of the least funny episodes i've seen of late.
