I underestimated how much of my adult life would be spent tracking packages online.

Is it me or are there more pictures without #AltText these days?

Please remember to add alt text. It doesn't take long and, like subtitles on TV, it's good for everyone. I like reading the alt text. And try not to boost things without it.

Cocaine Bear was way different than I was expecting

Yesterday,I rescued an injured #coyote here in Tahoe. Unfortunately, an x-ray revealed that someone shot the animal in the spine with a pellet gun paralyzing it. With no hope of a successful recovery, we had to euthanize the animal. What is wrong with people? I don't understand this level of cruelty!

People that torture wildlife deserve a ride to the train station. The Yellowstone train station.

Just be glad you're not the box.

Twitter’s ad revenue is down 89% and not many users are signing up to its paid subscription. In April, it’s removing “legacy” blue checks and further prioritizing paid accounts.

For Disconnect, I explain that Elon Musk needs this to push more users to subscribe to Twitter Blue so he can pay his $1.5 billion in annual interest payments. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

Why are there gates around Heaven. Is it in a bad neighborhood?

When I graduated uni in 2008, I figured compsci was more-or-less future proof as a career: cutting edge tech, still in the first century of discovery, it seemed like a golden age in spite of the now obvious signs of decay.

Now, I'm unemployed again with 20 years of experience in this ridiculous field. I remember feeling very confident in my c# and JS back then, ready to replace those COBOL-dinosaurs who weren't keeping up.

Oh the irony...

Unfortunately for Trump and his allies, completely losing your shit is generally not an effective legal defense to felony criminal charges

everyone who posts anything like 'omg i talked with chatgpt and it changed my life, we're on the cusp of a New Era of perfect intelligence!' should be dragged into the sea and chained to a reef to feed the fish

Our state's abortion restrictions have not only prohibited access to elective pregnancy termination, but they’ve also obstructed the path for timely and medically appropriate care for many Texans experiencing pregnancy complications.

This article was my first big deep dive into healthcare access in a post-Roe Texas for the @TexasObserver. I hope you give it a read:

The kompromat must be really damning: 3/31/23 Lindsey Graham Tweet:

On the way to the DA’s office on Tuesday, Trump should smash some windows, rob a few shops and punch a cop.

He would be released IMMEDIATELY!

my mom woke up in the middle of the night from these powerful explosions. r*ssians terrorized one of the most beautiful Zaporizhzhia suburbs with several missiles hitting the homes of peaceful Ukrainians

r*ssia is a mad death cult.
