so glad I can be learning Rust from the experts at Adobe, their beautiful elegant code is really an inspiration 😊

$impl<'a> From<&'a dyn Stream> for StreamAdapter<'a> { #[allow(invalid_reference_casting)] fn from(stream: &'a dyn Stream) -> Self { let stream = &*stream as *const dyn Stream as *mut dyn Stream; let stream = unsafe { &mut *stream }; Self { stream } } }$

I think Bluesky could still be saved. Won't be, but could. They should hire me as Head of Comms. I could fix her (Jay)

It’s meant to be scary, but “Snakes” by the Pixies is actually the cutest song ever

Bunnies comically act out the lyrics to “snakes” by the pixies. “Snakes are coming to your town” is shown simply as snakes coming to visit the bunnies

The full chorus is: “Snakes
Are coming to your town
In tunnels underground
Some travelling overground
A plague for our mistakes
They'll be right next to you
Snakes up against me too
There'll be nothing to do
When the rattle shakes”
