After reading all those one star reviews, of course I had to install Tusky.

This neighborhood looks like a soap opera.
#nobirb now that I’m getting the hang of http://Mastodon.py, I may try a version of @jacobydave’s programmatic #FF, since I fave a lot:

Somebody’s fiddling with the lights and they’re slowly flickering on and off like closing time at the bar, or maybe the world’s saddest rave.

Still using the notebook from job.previous because it’s just that good. Added branding from job.current for accuracy.

@twistylittlepassages thanks!
And now I want to order some of my own stickers to put on it 😀

Been in food truck line for a bit. Not hungry yet, but I’m sure I will be by the time it’s my turn.

Easier than arguing with the blister pack.

Updating macOS. Maybe the keyboard will start working again. Would my neighbor notice his Thinkpad being swapped out for a temperamental MBP?

Saw a thread about 10x engineers that wasn’t satirical mockery. Very confusing.
But I saw it because of a QT that was full of satirical mockery. An admirable attempt to restore the balance.

Coworker: “What are you doing this weekend?”
Me: “Goof off on the computer, wander, explore.”
C: “Nice. What about Saturday and Sunday?”
Me: “More of that. Definitely.”
C: “Oh. Nice weather for it!”
Me: “Yah! And if it rains I have a hat.”

@ceejbot I keep reminding myself about Hanlon’s Razor, because the pervasiveness of the bullpen and its rattle on my brain sure feels malicious.

Now why would this promoted tweet be showing up in my timeline so close to a strike.

If you see a 10x engineer and don’t immediately pawn it off on another company within seven days, you die.

Trying not to do “Golden Oldies” math about the 20-something DJ playing Beastie Boys “Paul Revere”

@thegibson the thumb reader is nice. The rest of it is distracting as hell. A powered down touch bar is my favorite touch bar.
Though the rest of the MBP annoys me too. It’s like a pearl: a beautiful, expensive irritation.

@thegibson and they deserved to be. It’s only the best god damn track on the album.
But yeah their DJ friends back at DJ school probably only know Fight For Your Right, and maybe No Sleep.

@thegibson this is a beautiful thought. Even the grunge 90s had a sort of earnest recognition that things should be better. And many of us thought tech would help, or at least not make things worse.
I may have had a couple drinks tonight.
