had too much caffeine late at night and I’m watching my heart blast out PVCs on my Apple Watch lol sinus rhythm my ass

A screenshot of an electrocardiogram in Apple Health. It claims “sinus rhythm” but shows two regular beats followed by a PVC (premature ventricular contraction). Don’t worry, they’re usually benign, and not uncommon with too much caffeine and stress. Feel weird, though.

years ago, I was most of the way through an online job application when I got to the question Who is John Galt? and I sighed and immediately closed the browser tab. I once, foolishly, thought of myself an Objectivist way back in high school, but that was a long time ago indeed

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY! ✨ if i could humbly request a share of my art, it would be the best gift ever 💖

a pixel art piece featuring a cloudscape at nighttime. the sky is filled with clouds of various colours: pink, yellow, cyan, blue and dark blue. a half moon is partly covered behind one of the blue clouds, reflecting its light onto them. the black sky is also filled with stars. the scene is meant to evoke a sense of peace, wonder and nostalgia

pixel art featuring a trail going off into the distance. the brown trail goes through a grassy field filled with flowers of various colours (yellow, pink, red and white). in the distance there are some green hills. the blue sky is filled with a giant white cloud, with some light coming from the top left. the text in the middle of the sky reads: “bloom at your own pace”

pixel art of space featuring a blue nebula surrounded by blue stars and a blue planet at the top right. a shooting star is also visible

pixel art featuring a sunset scene. the sun setting on some hills behind a body of water. the water is of a clear blue colour. the sky’s colours are red, purple and dark blue, while the hills are silhouette black. purple clouds make up the skyline

death metal song about necromancy? 🤔 nah I’m gonna treat it as a trans allegory

A screenshot of Apple Music, showing lyrics from the Mors Principium Est song The Ghost:

Your time is over
Become the ghost that haunts their dreams
You’ll live forever
But your new life’s not what it seems
A new beginning
Forget the man you’ve left behind
Your life is over
But here a new path you will find

I feel like I get two very different positive reactions from cis women, the energy of either "yeah it sucks to be a woman, not sure why you'd choose this but hell yeah" and "oh look at the cute guy in drag, you're trying so hard" and I doubt either would hear me out if a transphobe started something

when I got sent to the office for snapping and yelling at a bully in class - mind you, this guy had threatened to stab/kill me and even flashed his genitals at me *in class* - the assistant principle tried to explain to me that I must be doing *something* to make the kid so mad that he would do that

somehow I dodged really learning react (looking at JSX is nails on a chalkboard to me) by moving into the devops/k8s space while happily maintaining old jquery stuff I know it was the right tool at the time (what were we gonna use, angular? emberjs?? lol) but god react seems to suck especially now

throughout this entire article there's no mention of efficiency, or what anyone does with these tokens. like, stories abound of hapless employees ordered to use AI who make thoughtless applications that throw the kitchen sink at an LLM to get bad results. the business bro blind-spot is insane

Microsoft reports are exposing AI's real cost problem: Using the tech is more expensive than paying human employees | Fortune

Companies are racing to incentivize employees to use AI. But as some companies are finding, the more employees that use the technology, the heavier the bill.
