PTO. So it begins.
Super hot witchy chick drinking wine with a dumpy middle aged Asian man. So bougie that he's drinking Champagne.

Whelp. Looks like @muteki.bsky.social and I are in horny jail. Again.

You're having a dinner party with characters from Star Trek. What four are you inviting?

Away mission update: the local authorities allowed me on their air conveyance vehicle. I'm traveling to a city called "Lost Wages". Funny to think that this culture is still stuck on the concept of currency.

On my way to Vegas. BH, DC, or ST-LV?

Yes!

Thanks to @daemonobserver.bsky.social for the outfitting!

As always, I choose violence. Malört: IATA Edition. Get ready, @cocktailcon.org
Malort: IATA Edition. Cilantro-infused Malort for those who enjoy Malort.

I asked our AI to generate an image of people throwing up arms and now you have to see it, too:
An AI-generated "photo" of people holding up their arms (including one person with apparently three arms). Except they are also vomiting arms, a few of which appear to have melted into other arms. Oh yeah, they all seem very happy and eager to throw up their arms.

I thought that was just the pith. Apparently not.

This is what you get for $15. Shrimp, tilapia, chicken, and steak with house-made tortillas.

You bet your sweet ass I'm going to eat the whole thing with another beer while Mexican soccer plays in the background.

I do cocktails a lot, but after a long day of working in the garage (holy shit did I accumulate a lot of "stuff" over the last 20 years!), a couple of beers and tacos at the local Mexican restaurant is what's needed.
An ice-cold bottle of Modelo Negra with a lime wedge in it. You should totally have one, too!

And when I say, "you know what, I didn't even watch cable anymore" I ask to chat with an agent and instead you say you're going to call me. FWIW, I forwarded the phone and this was 6 hours ago....

Hey @xfinitysupport.bsky.social probably the reason you can't call me is that I'm trying to let you know my voice service doesn't work, but you keep saying everything's fine....

Yes, Google Ads, between my morning scrolling of bike news and "holy shit these terrible things happened in the last 8 hours", I really need nipple covers.

Wait... are you monitoring my dreams?!

I saw this on Insta today and I'm here to tell you that it is 100% wrong.

There are whole Reddits and TikTok and even LinkedIn groups devoted to shaming people getting into "their lane".

People at the top like to pretend there's no space at the table. There always is. Just use your elbows.
Instagram post saying: An athlete won't judge you for working out. A millionaire won't judge you for starting a business. A musician won't judge you for trying to sing a song. It's always the people going nowhere that have something to say. Followed by a note by the re-poster: Read that last sentence again.

Oh, hey. In case you missed it, by Executive Order, everyone in the US is now female. Everyone.
Executive Order: DEFENDING WOMEN FROM GENDER IDEOLOGY EXTREMISM AND RESTORING BIOLOGICAL TRUTH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Let me honest, here, you don't want to read it. It's just another example of cruel and stupid from the far right. If you do really need to read it, though, here's the link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/

This is brilliant. I plan on just putting the whole project in Jira and asking for it to be "pure Agile".
A long post from Mastadon by hex@kolektiva.social: Hey fellow tech folks. We might get asked to do something terrible. I'd like to start a bit of an open discussion about how to deal with such requests. The first thing I might recommend is enthusiastically agree to do whatever it is then forget about it and do something else. If asked about it in the future, pretend this is the first you've heard about it. Play as dumb as you can for as long as you can. Now, if you can't get away with delaying by not doing anything anymore then find the absolute most complicated way to do whatever it is. This is actually a great time to use an LLM. Have an LLM write all your code then just run it. Ask the LLM to fix anything that's broken. Take some extra steps to force downgrade or upgrade libraries to incompatible versions. Write all of your own interfaces by hand. Write your own date parsing library. Write all of your own SQL without any abstractions. Add an LLM in the middle some how. Use libraries that haven't been supported for 15 years. Ever want to write code in Python 2.0? Now's your chance! Debug everything with Wireshark, no matter what it is. I bet there's a VB script library to do what you need to do, and if you can just write a C wrapper around that it'll interface perfectly with perl, as soon as you can get that old FoxPro program running in wine. I bet it would be easier without that commit hook that changes every zero to a capital letter O. "I'm getting the craziest error. It works on my system!" There are a million ways to make things insanely complicated, and most of us have seen people legitimately do these things out of pure incompetence. Now, if you end up against the wall and think you might get fired package everything up and hand it off to someone else, but make sure you make it clear that you're almost done and it should be super easy to finish. Leave behind some fun puzzles for the next person to figure out. "How strange...the output changes when I …
