I like kittens.
…and then there was one.

Y’had a good run, Latte. We’ll miss you. I’m sure Espresso won’t mind the extra attention.

"Number of abandoned side projects"

—> Didn’t expect to be called out like this when I woke up today, but here we are.
GitHub should add a 2025 recap, with things like:

"Angriest commit message"
"How often you added a separate commit just to fix linting"
"Number of curse words added to the codebase"
"What file caused the most bug reports"
"Number of abandoned side projects"

Check it out! We made a series of Calgary election zines. One for each of the city's 14 wards, containing all the councillor candidates for each. Plus a mayoral one—so 15 in all. They'll be going into libraries but let us know if you also want copies to share! www.sprawlcalgary.com/calgary-2025...

I never feel more saintly than when I put a pristine copy of a desirable book in someone’s little library box.

An array of coffee from Café Gravity all lined up and waiting for hard-working techs & volunteers can only mean one thing: the @calgaryfringe.bsky.social Festival is ramping into high gear with setup in full swing!

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

Dalhousie Co-op Stampede breakfast: entered the line at 9:45. It’s… not a short line. Curious to see how long this will take. 🤔

Just realized it’s been a while since I posted a photo of (either of) the girls. Time to fix that.

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.
I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...

the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

Ok, so I came across this dumb meme the other day. And: yeah yeah. Dumb meme. From one of those clickbait-capitalization sites. But the wheels start turning anyway. How bad 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 this be? Only one way to find out!

TL;DR there's about to be a lot of crappy cake in this house. #forScience
