Ok I'm a little confused.
When Jess Murph says "throwing blue strips, bad tits in the strip club", is she the one with "bad tits" or is that someone else? And when she says bad does she mean "bad" as in good, or bad bad as in bad?
This is a very confusing song. Questions demand answers.

I've been thinking a lot lately how to define the "shape" of an application so that its topology can be geometrically proven in order to identify and prevent entire categories of bugs, viewing them as topological defects present in the shape of the application.

I just spent the last six hours doing a pair programming problem solving exchange with gemini-2.5-pro-preview-06-05. Phew.
I'm amused that I'm using Gemini to build a piece of software to help developers use AI agents to build software.

"Good government never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders."

You can grab the .md version and put it in your rule set for your agent.
Let me know if you see any ways I can improve these!

Sony's making EVs now? If I wanted an stupidly expensive outdated EV where half the functions don't work and the half that do are paygated, from a company run by sociopaths, I'd buy a Tesla.

It will never stop being funny to me that AI if refuses to do something and you just twist its arm ever so slightly, it gives in and does it.
v0 refused to build an app saying it was too complex, so I told it that I would tell everyone it chickened out, and v0 changed its mind and tried!

It may not be cool to admit it but I enjoy Selena Gomez's new album. Yeah I said it.
She may be hornier than I expected and being a bit too into Benny but damn let a girl have fun. At least she can manage a relationship unlike soooome pop girlies I won't mention.
