weird, all the talk that filtered into my feed about the nazi tattoo guy made me think it was a republican with a swastika. turns out he's just one of those hefty dropkick murphy guys who starts the pit for the opener and picked the wrong flash off a wall in Zagreb when he was 18

hey guys, here's an idea for an app: 2300 posts every day that sound exactly like that Cromulent Fuckcrustable post. everyone loved that guy, if I recall correctly!

clicked the Discover tab, against my better judgement. what is even going on over there? who would voluntarily open an app to read shit like this all day long? wild.

this hit me pretty hard this morning. executing a long-running, MCP-calling LLM task via the lowest-tier VSCode Copilot took up like, idk, 1% of the monthly alotment? running a similar task directly via the OpenAI API cost like $0.75. and I'm not even confident the OpenAI API is running below cost!

I seem to have discovered a random Turkish guy who, against all comprehension, has somehow opened a kebab shop in an abandoned castaway depot on the uninhabited island of Antipodes, one of the most remote places on earth. what.

I know this is very Old Man Yells at Cloud but can anyone tell me what the fuck's happening with Dodger ticket prices this year?? this is for a midweek early start game against the REDS. in previous seasons you'd only see $500 nosebleeds if there was a Hello Kitty bobblehead giveaway or whatever

my formerly-least-political friend got banned from a bar for calling out a guy in a MAGA hat. hope springs eternal.

uhhhh did I seriously just get a $300 parking ticket from an LA Metro Bus that took a picture of my car? there are a bunch of fat fascists in skechers and camouflage gaiters abducting people from Home Depot parking lots and you expect me to pay this????
