Sunday soccer update - it’s playoffs, so that means things are even rowdier than normal! Four yellows evenly split, probably should’ve been eight. I stopped two breakaways and had a diving save on a last minute free kick to preserve the clean sheet, we won 1-0.

I’m sorry to anyone who continues to be spammed by conspiracy theories about me. If you see any please tag me so that I can debunk.
I was getting a lot of this stuff in my feed, then I unfollowed one Large Account and almost all of it went away.
I guess one point in Bluesky's favor is that people who unsubtly use targeted harassment tactics here have a harder time ginning up critical mass than they did on the old site.

One of my pet peeves (probably my biggest) is the common confusion of "everyday" and "every day". I shrug it off for social media stuff but you'd expect copywriters to get it right, right? I mean, these people are being paid to write copy. It's right there in the name. See alt text for more steam 😡

Oof. Thank goodness we have mechanical assistance in keeping our house cool. I’m sure it’s stressing the grid though. Fingers crossed we don’t lose power

Listen, all you pangram-quoters out there. The quick brown fox JUMPS, fer crissakes. If you write "jumped" then there's no s in your sentence, and you lose a thousand pangram points.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

We see the cliff edge ahead. We all simply walk blindly over it. Amazingly, there's just not enough willpower to turn away.

I finally finished last year's AoC. Needed some help with 2023's day 24, but I had fun writing std::ops::* functions for my #rustlang solution. Now I've got all 500 stars! Taking a moment to enjoy the accomplishment before the new year.

It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York

That summer was sizzling, and so were the Rosenbergs

Wait.
When did “dinner and a movie” become “brunch, a nap, and a matinee”?

I figured he'd at least have to steal it, through the House or SCOTUS or whatever. A clean victory is just ... crushing.
