I'm completely done with the Gunnverse. Listen, I *loved* Superman. I thought it was really good. Then Supergirl came out, and because the reviews were so bad I didn't bother watching it. Peacemaker *never* clicked for me, I'm not interested in the show. (Sorry.) I hear Lanterns has been […]

A groovy midcentury modern decor with tropical looking plants and sunlight streaming through windows onto medium-blond tables and wall paneling. A mobile iPad Pro work setup and a cup of mocha is sprawled out on a large desk-like table.

OK awesome! Signal is working great on iPad making video calls, which make it easy for me to talk with a podcast guest while I record my mic via my Linux box (and they record their mic.) I'd be a little less nervous if I could capture the raw two-way audio, just in case the "double-ender" […]

I'm not going to complain about this list, and I'll shock some people by saying I have not seen Breaking Bad, nor have I seen The Wire. So I'm happy that the first show at the top I've seen, Mad Men, is at number three. I would personally put it at number one. It is perfection. 🧑🏽‍🍳💋

Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo. Impossible to see this as anything but a statement of their values.
