I was not in a frat and also spent all my time playing flip cup, caring about the sanctity of drinking rules, doing school work, and not talking to girls whatsoever because there was drinking to do. And Madden to play.

I really don’t know what the aliens’ plan is but they’ll find me in much better circumstances than if they’d have come this year.

I sort of just had an epiphany that solves all my problems. 2027 is gonna be a great year til the Aliens arrive and hopefully after.

Nice. Have never gotten one. Wonder how! Could use that right now 🤣 2nd account is 55% for week and other is 100%, and first is back Friday. I don’t have this kind of patience.

Haha no, just Claude and I being dumb. I’ve been on the Tressie experience train before myself!

Collards aren’t even a dialectical term. That’s just what they’re called.
010
Brent Rager @rager.tech · 28/09/2026
Also pretty sure of all the reason Bluesky hates AI (for hovering up all of man’s written word) I’m pretty sure no one filtered that corpus so black dialectical terms wouldn’t show up.

Put the good collards on the grocery list
- Used Search reminder lists, used Search remin...
Added "Collards (the good ones)" to your Groceries list. If there's a specific brand or store you mean, tell me and I'll put it in the note so there's no guessing at the store.

Kroger carries a few collard brands - which one is
"the good" one?
• Glory Foods Seasoned Southern Style (27 oz

Whenever Tressie gets to being an asshole as she does with the brigading and vagueposting what she thinks of as her brilliantly smart takes, the mentions of the term "genius grant" skyrockets on this website.

As a Purdue fan this upset me. (I saw this skeet hours ago and set at finding and ultimately making a gif - never let them say Brent Rager doesn't follow through)

Bad news letting the cats into the backrooms. They're infiltrating.

haha more just kidding, I have my own rust slop harness, and I’m pretty sure it’s slower than other ones I use

It’s also just incredible, steaming, hot rizz and he’s the only one that can tell that story - he has his haters but can they even deny his aura? I don’t know how you clone that but it’s telling the story of being the adult in the room. Picking ourselves up, wiping off the dirt, and getting to work

Why do I need to make a remotion in rust now? Idk because.

Brent Rager @rager.tech · 26/09/2026
Haha the reimplemented it part is very felt - also over here just building my own version of absolutely everything. What a time to be alive.

Brent Rager @rager.tech · 26/09/2026
Yeah definitely same it takes work.

I did use Claude code last week to do my captions and some silly art for my Colts video, but obviously shot all the video. I really haven’t done much of anything with generating ai video other than play with Sora back in the day for silly things. But the upgrade in tooling is fantastic.

Brent Rager @rager.tech · 26/09/2026
I don’t think this is the intent of what your talking about - but I do have (what I feel to be) a very good experience generating like marketing / demo videos with remotion.dev But that’s all just code and screen recordings.

I find it really hard to relate to stuff like this. I have ascended to another plane of developer experience.

I went on a date tonight which went very well but it’s important for us all to know that no one knows what Bluesky is.

Beyond proud of this demo and submission to @twilio.com AI Startup Search Light 2026! Smoo has come such a long way and I’m so proud of all the tools I’ve built there. Now I should probably try to see if anyone would use them.
