oh, three days! three whole days! definitely enough to punish a person guilty of a crime that would likely otherwise earn them at least a year in prison, were anyone – like, say, a cop – be willing to arrest them for said crime just a single bad apple here as usual, though, I'm sure

me reading today's Boston Globe, seeing the editorial board endorsed centrist transphobe Moulton for Senate, claiming attempts to paint him as allied with the Trump agenda on trans rights are "cartoonishly unfair" how about all of you on the board *and* Moulton go fuck yourselves #mapoli

Nearly done with @lizbethmyles.bsky.social’s terrific book about the politics of Doctor Who. I rarely buy physical books nowadays — we’re well out of book space! — but I make exceptions for books my friends write, especially ones this well-written and insightful.

Actual photo The Boston Globe took from the top of the Ferris Wheel. You can see vastly more tourists on the Mall than this on any given day of the week, never mind the massive crowds the Folklife Festival always pulls. anyway, as I said in the alt text: lol. lmao.

The miniature arch is visible in foreground, with the vast empty green expanse of the Mall stretching beyond it and a handful of people in the booths on either side.

Congratulations, Monday, you've finally gotten me to the point where I have to ask colleagues if they're using your AI, because if not, I'm turning it off with extreme prejudice. My tasks are organized this way for a reason and you and "Elena" can fuck all the way off.
Monday software prompt suggesting I let "Elena," a female-coded, possibly Asian character they probably let some AI design, "help" me standardize and categorize my tasks. The appropriateness of suggesting a female-coded character should handle the little stuff the Big Boss is too important to do is left as an exercise for the reader, and I'm not even going to get into possible racial implications as well.

I don't read Tech Review regularly despite my free subscription, but that logo is giving me an eyetwitch. I get why it's aligned this way, but it's fucking unsettling & knowing how much they probably paid [designers redacted, pretty sure I know who it is] to do this makes me glad I get this for free
MIT Technology Review logo. It's typeset as a triple-decker, each word on its own line, with the left leg of the M, the central bar of the T, and the left leg of the R all aligned. This makes the T crossbar extend too far out to the left and it fucking sucks.

Made a quick Penzeys run and found the most wonderful art on exhibit
A child’s drawing of a dragon-like creature in brown crayon. The creature has a humanoid face, including a grimace. In blue crayon, the child (named Evan) writes in all caps FATHER I CRAVE CHILLI 3000. Anyway, I’ve never tried Chili 3000 but I sure plan to now.

It's not you. They're having server issues, though possibly there's some load-balancing in the middle somewhere that means some people can get through some of the time. Here's the ping output – feel free to send it to them. (I'm in the US, obvs, but their server should still ping for me.)

Closed my Move ring by 9am shoveling us out. We're still not done, but the sidewalk is clear, we have a path to the street, and the driveway is about 50% there. The car's gonna take a little longer, though 🙃 (estimated total, including what we cleared last night: 20")

Reading that WIRED article about Cybertruck owners and crying with laughter because some jokes just write themselves
How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod?

People occasionally just flip [me] off or whatever, but nobody's come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it's kind of dumb. It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is.
