Finally finished the series finale of The Boys on Amazon. Truly one of the greatest documentaries ever made, as @minakimes.bsky.social would say. I even loved the candid shots of the actors and crew as the credits rolled. Must have been so fun to make. A+

I do not recall Holiday Grapes ever coming this early in the year. We may be heading towards violent heat death of the universe, but we will be extremely well-graped when it happens. 🙌🔥🍇

No, he took a swing at the president, noting that the president would rather spend time with her on his plane than do his job. If I complain that my son is spending all his time at the beach instead of doing chores, I am not actually "taking a swing at the beach"

I almost never buy things at duty-free but if you are in Heathrow anytime soon, the Yamazaki 18 is a great deal right now. A few hundred bucks off.

I am not the first to make this point but imagine a woman president obsessing constantly over her “ballroom” as the economy imploded and her war spun out of control

Extremely stressful! Would be fine if it started at zero when you opened Authenticator, but it doesn’t. Also, you’d think we’d have tech by now that just booped the code from you phone to your computer upon tapping.

One of my strongly held beliefs is that a lot of the most prolific people leading the charge into AI view the need to relate to other humans as a problem to solve.

Yet another bizarre permutation of the term “out of pocket”. At this point, I am convinced people are just substituting the word “pocket” for any other word that appears after “out of”.

Honestly, the thing I've learned the most while Claudecoding is the important of "idempotency". A word I had never heard before, still don't know exactly what it is, or how to pronounce it, but am constantly reminded of its importance.

Imagine being a 17-year old kid at a show at the Triple Door, and the musician asks if anyone in the crowd can play any of his songs, and you are the one person to raise your hand, because you can play *1* song, written 5 years before you were even born. And then you go on stage, and you crush it. 🙌

It’s the fastest way to capture anything, auto recognized and auto filed for you, with as few taps as possible. You can even point your phone at a house from a mile away and it will tell you how much it’s worth. An “anything detector”.

It seems like TestFlight at least auto-updates by default now, which is nice. I just hate that emails get sent out with every update. Want to just silently update most of the time.
