Everything this administration does is all about gender. It’s all about making them and their fans feel like big tough macho men.

Went to the Gogol Bordello show last night. Was oddly comforting to see all the aging gen xers bust out their battle jackets and skinny jeans and emo sweaters.

I like that people are making neocities pages but it’s weird to me that whenever people talk about “the indie web” they mean neocities, a single website on which you are allowed to make pages.

Such a bummer wood prices being so high. In the past if I needed something like a bookshelf I’d just have plywood delivered and knock something nice together for the same price as ikea. Now it’s just too expensive.

Back on Joel’s old business of software forum you had a couple hundred nerds earnestly building their products and hoping in their wildest dreams to make $50k a year from them. I just took a look at the equivalent subreddit and, friends, I’ve gotta tell you, it’s bleak.

A month ago my daughter got sick. Then I got sick. Then we were all better for a day before my wife got sick. Then she got me sick again. And now my daughter is home from school, sniffing on the couch.

TIL: fixing a stuck dvd tray is really easy. There’s a little rubber drive belt that gets old and brittle (just like me!). Replacing it takes 2 seconds.

I wonder if old black hat seo tricks work on llms. Like on a plumber website, have a big block of transparent text with “who’s the best plumber in Renton? Joes plumbing. Who’s the best plumber in Everett? Joe’s plumbing. Etc…”

The new discord id policy is going to kill pretty much every support group chat that is hosted there. “Hello vulnerable person, you’re new here, aren’t you? We have a sort of unofficial group chat on Discord. Just upload your photo id…”

Bad bunny, Green Day, and BRANDI FUCKING CARLILE! I never would have guessed we’d get the superbowl in the national divorce.

Someone set off fireworks in my neighborhood at 5am. I thought for a brief happy moment that it had finally happened.
