Life hack: always keep your music player app up and running so that you can test volume levels whenever you need to. Also so that you can always listen to music.

I didn't expect Nagano 1998 to become discourse on main in 2026, but I'm still fucked that Lipinski beat Kwan because of shitty judging standards.
For personal **trauma** reasons, 1998 is also the last year that I seriously followed Olympic judging standards in figure skating, so I guess this […]

Not normally for shonen personally, so I didn't expect to like My Hero Academia as much as I am. It's a YA shonen, and proud of it — it's also surprisingly character driven so far, and goes some pretty real places.

How do you write a whole quashing rumors about a Harry Potter Universes Beyond set without once mentioning that JKR is a transeliminationist nor that the books are racist as fucking hell?

There is something incredibly and disgustingly dissonant about the guy most uniquely implicated by the Epstein files taking a victory lap *today* by characterizing trans people as child mutilators.

My use of Python is slightly idiosyncratic in that if `python` is ever on $PATH, I consider that to be a failure.

My GitHub issue searching is failing, does anyone know of a feature request issue on PDM asking for an npx-style features, a la `uvx`?
That's literally the only uv feature that I use and that doesn't have a 1:1 equivalent in PDM.

Part of the foibles of having an older dog, but Chewie's vision is going a bit, and sometimes there's a shadow across the floor that scares him, such that he's afraid to cross over it without help.
We've come to call those floor-is-lava moments, or even just lava.

@xgranade I am tired and this is probably a shitpost but also it's real:
it's like class consciousness.
there are benefits to organizing.
one class is organized.

@xgranade i think it's just not rewarding enough? like, it's more steps to do the same thing.
