bank of america is pretty much the worst bank i've ever unfortunately done business with. deeply predatory, and annoying.

declaring insomnia bankruptcy. can't just be in bed anymore. the good news is that i have had this thing i've wanted to hack on but work has been too busy for me to carve out time for it.

this was the most surprising part of it. the worst part of a litterbox was having to declare bankruptcy and change out the whole thing. so far, after a few weeks, i've not had to do it. you just have to replace the small bag at the base that collects the used litter clumps.

resident dipshit @collinvandyck.bsky.social · 01/02/2026
it's not just the lack of scooping, but also that there's no need to "change out" the litter as far as i can tell. because it automatically cycles after each use, the litter remains pretty clean at all times. you of course need to occasionally add a little bit of litter to keep it at levels.

if you're on the fence about getting a robot litterbox, do it. it's lifechanging. there's close to zero maintenance compared to what i was doing to keep my apartment clean and smelling nice.

And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like.
Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is
"well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it.
This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order.
And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny.
You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely.
"Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

i've really been enjoying my first two months at temporal. the engineering culture there is professional and pragmatic. i was lovingly tossed into the deep end for my first project -- it required me to do a pretty deep dive and i love having all this context.

resident dipshit @collinvandyck.bsky.social · 03/12/2025
listening to chicago leads to some difficult thoughts. chicago is allright. everything is tight, and it's good in the way that a bunch of studio musicians might jam together after having met an hour beforehand. peter cetera though is s-tier shit and takes the band as high as it can realistically go.
