I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

if you find yourself overwhelmed by constant terror at the state of the world, may I suggest becoming a bird person? it doesn't really fix anything, but it at least lets you go "oh hell yeah" whenever you see a raven flying past with sticks for a nest in its beak or whatever

White nationalists like Miller or Vance clearly think most white Americans are white nationalists at heart. That we we'll wake up one day and realize multiculturalism is taking something away from us. They are wildly mistaken. Minnesota's open door IS my cherished culture, and I'll fight for it.

Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

I Will Fucking Dropkick You If You Use That Spreadsheet ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-... “You don't have to live like this. … Just put the spreadsheet down and we can work with databases. Do you remember databases, and possibly happiness?” (via @copystar.bsky.social’s excellent newsletter)
A sane engineer would come to you, palms upturned, arms wide, and preach the virtues of Excel in a conciliatory tone. "It really empowers non-technical staff"', they would say. "The democratization of data is an important element to the modern workplace, and it is an incredible testament to Excel's flexibility that it has enabled so many people to leverage the power of computing."
But that is a mere sane engineer, the first to die in the revolution, and when you have seen enough of what happens when you yield to this blatant cowardice, you move beyond mere sanity, into righteous logic so cold that it burns like fire. I tell you now, if you suggest that we put that spreadsheet anywhere near any process, no force on this planet will save you from me.This Is Gatekeeping
Yes. I have put this gate here and I am keeping it for a reason. The last time I stopped keeping this gate, I wrote a Python script that took a spreadsheet as an input, ran regular expressions in it against a database, spat out ten more spreadsheets, then used those to power a generic PowerBI template which had to have all ten spreadsheet targets repointed by hand. This became one of the most requested services my team performed for several months.
Someone should have fucking stopped me, and I must pay for my crimes by keeping this gate forever. I swear to you, there is nothing good past this gate.
Turn away. Turn away. I beg you, turn away. Beyond this lies naught but trying to work out why all the numbers are wrong, only to realize that Excel thought those IDs were integers and dropped all the leading zeroes. This death is a kindness.

Bottom panel: Hank angrily pointing at Dale. “And if it gets one degree hotter, I’m gonna kick your ass.”

It’s not hard: “Weird” is like “funky.” Sometimes it’s good to be funky, sometimes it’s very bad. Word’s flexible. If you make weird art that’s the good weird. If your politics lead you to say “white women need to have more babies!” you’re the “no thanks” weird. Easy really
