I will ask chat GPT
I will boil the last of our drinking water
Salt the soil of the scrub-lands
Tear the pages from books and feed them to my fire

I will ask copilot
I will scramble your library
maim the faces of your favorite paintings
I will bury you in poor copies of your dreams

I will ask […]

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

The SF mayor tried to appoint a random person he’d met at a night market to be a city politician. It turned out that this random person’s primary claim to work was ‘managing a pet store.. extremely poorly’.

This whole fiasco happened because […]

On the one hand, being on @ThePSF's board means some of my most consequential discussions of the day happen before I even get to have breakfast.

On the other hand, breakfast was freshly baked bread that I could put in the oven before today's meeting even started, so I can't complain too much.

Another year, another article from a Ruby person saying they avoided #python because of its "one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do things" attitude.

Two points:

1. The load-bearing word is not "one", or even "preferably": it's "obvious". If something comes along that is more […]

Q: Did Ross Douthat ruin the NYT?

A: No, it was always that bad.

Just in case you're as disgusted-fascinated by Gerrymanders as I am*, I present to you a selection of perversely specific district boundaries.

I don't like it, but I can't help but admire the work.

I didn't remember the fifth of November,
a date I try best to forget

I can think of no reason
to consider this season:
this year's the least memorable one yet

I want to note, though, that even with all of this enthusiasm, the PSF is still not as funded as it would have been if they’d compromised their mission and taken the bestringed money offered by the NSF. This is good energy, to get grassroots funding to happen, but we *need* corporate […]

Thanks to @glyph for kicking it off, and to @petrillic, @amethyst, and @Yhg1s for sharing in the match. My part is half done. Tomorrow I’ll also forward this to my employer who will match my donation as well.

We did it! Y'all are absolutely amazing, and together we've matched $17,000, for a total of $34k raised for the PSF.

A personal thank you to everyone who donated, and an extra heap of thanks and gratitude to @glyph for organizing and managing all of this. And of […]

With only a few hours left to go, WE HAVE CROSSED THE FINISH LINE, and fully matched all $17,000! Here is a screenshot of my own match (as I said at the beginning, I was going to give $5000 regardless and $5000 to match, so this is the full $10k).

2025-2025 goals for how I talk about @ThePSF: owning the fact that we're a charity, and how that's actually a very good thing for the language and the community that's grown around it

because all this talk about "foundations" actually doesn't mean an actual definable thing, and that doesn't […]
