Why is an auto repair shop sending me "we miss you" emails? Do you think I get my car fixed because I think you guys are cool and love hanging out with you? Why is marketing so effing weird and needy? Know your role or lose the business.

For a year and a half, we’ve been subject to the daily onslaught of Trump and his cruel, corrupt, and incompetent second regime. My question to you now, in the middle of the summer of our discontent, is what strategies you’re using to cope with this horror.

For many years I thought Metallica was singing "Sad Patrol" which also seemed apt.

I used to tell my buddy Austin that his drag name was Austin Tayshus. We never really landed on what mine was. But I think it could be Tim Tayshuns.

I got banned from reddit for saying "White supremacists are weird insecure losers." They called it "hate speech against a protected group" and refused to unban me. Is it reddit policy to protect and support white supremacy? www.reddit.com/user/Tim-Syl...

Remember when "new" implicitly meant "and better"? "Check out my new phone | car | computer | appliance!" Now you have to include "... it's ok, but..." "the controls are touch instead of buttons..." "it's mostly plastic..." "it's subscription-gated..." "it's not real chocolate..."

I think Anthropic rushed Opus 4.8 because of how poorly 4.7 was received. 4.7's MO was "let me do a crappy job quickly, over and over". I've only been using 4.8 for like an hour and it's already clearly better than 4.7, which was a huge step down from 4.5/4.6.

That my corn tortillas assure me they're "made with real corn" raises more questions than it answers. I never once doubted it until they brought it up. Now I wonder why they feel the need to say it.

Recently I spent an entire morning trying to correct an error in the application I’m building. After hours of trying, I figured out what was wrong and corrected it. I ran the tests again — and hit a different error. It wasn’t resolution, it was progress. medium.com/p/e6654d0f8290

What I love about developing with AI is you can get a wrong answer immediately. With StackOverflow you'd have to wait hours, days even, to get a wrong answer.

IDK why this is so funny to me, unrelated, has anyone seen the movie Steel?

A headline reads "For the 1st time ever, a person who uses a wheelchair will fly to space"

A four panel Anakin-Padme meme. The first panel is Anakin saying "For the 1st time, a person in a wheelchair will fly to space." In the second panel Padme replies with a smile, "Like in a ship, right?" In the third panel, Anakin stares at Padme. In the fourth panel, Padme says, concerned, "In a ship?"
