I let Claude run a deploy script yesterday, which I rarely do (just to my staging server so I could see the changes remotely). When I came back and looked at the chat, it had an adorable line like “user explicitly told me I can do this, so I will now do so.”

Resolve is fantastic. I’ve been editing in it for the past 4 years. It really feels robust, like a central hub for my video projects.

Well fuck you news headline! Just had Disclosure Day spoiled for me. Just because I was checking the news.

Zipline Brewing was going to host a political event for Pete Ricketts and Ted Cruz on Friday. The staff made noise and promised to quit or skip, so the owners just fired everyone and closed shop. If you miss the wonderful beers of Zipline in the coming weeks and months, you have Ted Cruz to thank.
Screenshot of Ig story from Zipline staffer. Text reads "I am aware of what's happening at Zipline tomorrow and I do not support it in any way, shape, or form. Neither does anyone that works at Zipline.
When AKRS bought the brewery, the founders of Zipline essentially cashed out and bolted, leaving everyone left to clean up the mess. Kevin Clark is going to run this place into the ground spouting his facsist beliefs.
The brewers, packagers, taptenders, and managers are some of the most incredible people I've ever met and they deserve so much more than this."Screenshot of story from later in the day. Text reads "For anyone who's like "what is she talking about "
The brewery my husband worked at was bought a couple years back by a Nebraska Ag company so they could expand their brewing. Turns out they're were terrible people (shock!) and over the past 3 years, they've progressively dug the brewery into the ground.
Today, they walked in and truly RANDOMLY
fired
everyone and shut down the brewery.
The biggest brewery in Nebraska with some of the finest brewers in the state, if not region.
Around 20 people now without work. Out of the blue. Very cool."

The other day I walked clear back to the produce section to put back some mushrooms because the chicken I needed them for was too expensive 🥺

Oooo, neat! And my ancient 2018 iPad Pro is on the list! (A2013) I haven’t had the cellular plan active on it for years. This will be great for vacation, which is pretty much the only time I take my iPad anywhere.

Sometimes the scales glitch out and only register the first tiny touch, so I get whatever I’m ringing up for 2¢. Not my problem when their shit breaks. They should pay someone to make sure it rings up correctly 🙃

I wonder how much our local Walmart wasted by replacing almost everything with self-checkouts, and then like 6 months later ripping it all out again and reinstalling a bunch of regular checkouts. How many stores did that?

“ID you can’t get without this number” is also why voter ID is a crock of shit. “We need to make sure you’re eligible to vote.” “Yes, they already determined that when I REGISTERED. That’s what the voter roll IS. It’s a list of ELIGIBLE voters. That part has already been done.”

Even if he hadn’t figured out a bread he liked, I can fully respect the bagel preference. Sourdough is a hell of an entry into the world of bread. Godspeed to this little connaisseur de pain 👨‍🍳

I feel like USAID alone will take a generation to rebuild our reputation in the world. Why would anyone trust us when our government could just swing way to the far right in any given 4-year cycle?

Dude passkeys will go down in history as one of the worst tech fumbles. Like I know they’re superior but they’re so utterly confusing to actually use. And I have Apple AND 1Password nagging me every time.

Apps whose websites loudly proclaim “free download” and then after getting all the way through onboarding, throw up a subscription page, leaving me feeling like an idiot. “Well, the *download* part was indeed free.”

I was doing compositing for VR recently, which was heavily degrained and delivered as such. I never appreciated how much I count on grain to really tie the comp together 🫣

I frequently use the phrase “Claude made this for me” because that in itself is really neat to me. At least for the random little HTML dashboards I have it spit out to make my daily life a little easier.

The 25th Amendment lets Congress create an independent commission and gives them (w/the VP) the power to remove a President when they’re truly unable to do the job. Not just the Cabinet. Take 30 seconds to support it:

I consider our Great Plains label a poodle situation. All Plains states are Midwest but not all Midwest states are Plains.

I think if we overlap the Chicago and Des Moines maps, everyone would be satisfied. As an eastern Nebraskan, I would be okay with Ohio claiming to be the Midwest as long as they return the favor.

These people also bizarrely forget that the last American President to actually be assassinated was a Democrat, followed not long after by his brother, a Democratic candidate.

I just want to marvel at the cognitive dissonance that can result in “big Pharma vaccines are fake” and “Big Pharma has cancer cures (presumably vaccines) that they’re hiding from us.”

Cat Quest is like this! It’s delightfully adorable with fun combat IMO. I’ve been chipping away at Cat Quest II for awhile in no particular hurry. It’s just great fun 😸

Honestly the anecdote on PSA about how he basically begged to come on the show is so embarrassing I’m surprised he isn’t resigning and hiding in shame forever. I would die if I did something like that it then it got blasted to the public.
