Unrelated and frankly unimportant, but shouldn’t your header on here feature fiddlehead ferns?

“God has a plan for all of us” sounds like a threat coming from this guy.

Admittedly, it’s a nice change from the tankies in the CHS comments, but still really annoying. Luckily, they have far less influence than the district 3 tankies.

I think there are like 10 Republicans here in West Seattle. Unfortunately, all of them love to comment on West Seattle Blog.

Are they specifically concerned about Iranians, or the senseless killing of thousands of innocent people? Because if the latter, I have some bad news for them about USAID.

Are you sure this wasn't generated by @horsedisc.bsky.social's long form cousin?

He is in his room laying on the floor, repeating like a mantra “not tired, I don’t want to.”

Or perhaps (m x n) + 1 problems?

Sometimes when you have a problem you say, "I know, I'll use Kubernetes." Now you have two problems.

Update: mom went to bed. Toddler is watching Bluey on 'his' iPad. I'm sitting next to him debugging an iOS app issue. The dog is silently judging me.

My toddler just yelled out, while leaping into the air, apropos of nothing, “I’M READY TO MAKE POPCORN!”

It is 10pm here. Everyone is ready to go to bed except him.

That actually sounds pretty good. Except for the AI part.

I’ve been hearing a lot of doomerism from friends about the midterms: Trump will rig it. Trump will suspend the elections. Etc.

I think this is all rank doomerism. Even if he tried, I think he’ll fail. Even if I’m wrong, the response from the American people would be without precedent.

Also, whether or not the Soviets might’ve had a point when they rolled those tanks into Czechoslovakia.

Just the absolute worst, most venal, mush brained man you could imagine. Congrats everyone, we could’ve had the nice Black lady instead.

Fun fact, there is a whole subsection of the Geneva convention now devoted to Moonbug intellectual property. Subjecting someone to Cocomelon, Blippi, etc could be considered a war crime.
