You know, back before docker and kubernetes and every application running its own database in a container where you ALSO manage the Linux distribution on that container, other people did all that shit for me. And they knew what they were doing.

My kid’s continuous insistence that I MUST know this next Kendrick Lamar song it’s kind of heartwarming. It’s nice when even my 16-year-old can’t believe I’m as old and out of touch as I am.

Folks, if you want to stop using Amazon or sell your Tesla or whatever to make a political statement of some kind, great, but don’t pretend it’s going to hurt Bezos or Musk. Take away 99% of their wealth and they still have more money than they could ever spend. You can’t hurt them that way.

Sometimes I think that if we could just get everyone together with some chicken pot pie and a 2L of Dr. Pepper things would cool down.

Everyone's talking about "marching in the streets" or "trying to stay optimistic," but where are all my fellow "jam it down deep inside of you and plan on having a heart attack at a young age" people?

I don’t know if I’m more shocked that I’m still up this late, or how I’m still surprised by every single freaking night.

Based on capitalization alone, it’s clear that Trump learned everything he knows about writing from A. A. Milne and hasn’t read a book since.

Everyone’s worried about the tariffs but I’m just going to start buying everything at airport duty-free stores. I’ll be eating the finest Toblerone and cigarettes for the next four years, suckers!
