Dear everyone. Please stop screenshotting X and posting it here. If I wanted to know about the weird AI sex death cult I would have kept my account there. Also I didn’t need to know about Harry Potter fanfic.

I have bees and cannot even begin to tell you how tedious it is doing this to every single bee, one at a time, for sixty thousand bees. (The only humane way to do it.) They come out of it a little wobbly but recover quickly and are fine a few minutes after extraction.

It's always a bit of a letdown when TLAP day lands on a weekend. Anyway, I'll buy a license when I can afford it. Besides, they should be grateful — it's free advertising.

It is *extremely* funny to me that Apple literally LITERALLY built its brand as an imagined hero against Orwellian manipulation of information and is, in 2026, re-writing maps because Donald Trump says so. Not ha-ha funny, exactly, but you get it.

These are facts. GoLive Cyberstudio did the same thing. It was a disaster. The generated code was horrendous on pretty much every axis. (Fun footnote: when Dreamweaver shipped, in house we referred to it as “the world’s largest HTML editor”.)

For reference: When I had my background check it was held up because I had a speeding ticket from when I went home sophomore year in college that I forgot to put on my SF-86. I got grilled about why I didn’t disclose it (they eventually believed it was mistake). The FBI as we knew it is gone.

I know this has been said many times, by many people, but the ads in Apple News are probably the very worst, stupidest, least-relevant, most AI-generated garbage of any ads I see all day long. And I *pay* for Apple News.

Dolly Parton's passing is effortlessly proving that if you spend your life being nice and kind and generous instead of mean and cruel and selfish, then apologists for mean cruel selfish bullies won't have to go around scolding people for cheering when you die, because there will be no cheering.

There’s so much Dolly-discourse about the proper uses of wealth and fame and legacy, and some harsh comparisons to others who also have or had those advantages. See @clairewillett.bsky.social for a vivid example. But there something nicer going on, worth mentioning:

Sam Neil has so many great performances that it feels almost reductive to focus on one scene. Except it's one of the most iconic scenes in movie history and all of it, The groundbreaking CGI, the sweeping John Williams score *doesn't* work without the authentic joy and wonder of Neill's performance
