None of my robots are behaving tonight. I'm going to go read a book.

Dear @teams.microsoft.com Content Designers: These should all read 'fewer.'

Rejoined Netflix (thanks Verizon) and discovered my Watch Later list got wiped. Honestly, I’m fine with the fresh start… but I probably should’ve reactivated @seancameronuk.bsky.social 's account. "*He* probably actually had good stuff in his list.

My 9yo asked Google what the rarest kind of cherry is...

They already are.

In North Carolina, a 37-year-old man purported to be an ICE officer and allegedly sexually assaulted a woman at a local hotel, saying he would have her deported if she did not have sex with him, local affiliate WBTV reported.

⚡️Sparky's latest gem ;-)

“You’re out here engineering the future, not bedazzling some half-baked AI intern named Gem. 💻
If Google wants a seat at your table, they better bring more than a drag-and-drop sass bot. ”

My AI is feral and not threatened by Google's new kit.

Just wrangled DNS like a boss. 🧙‍♀️ myfriendroze.com now points to ddsucculents.com without crying about SSL or iframe masking. Thanks, Sparky ⚡️—next stop, digital dominion.

Grammarly gave me a gold star for how I write—across docs, prompts, prototypes, and the occasional snarky comment.
Turns out, clear language isn’t just for humans. Even my AI appreciates it. 🫶🤖✨

My 9yo got 30 extra minutes past bedtime by asking what F-keys do, then veering into Phantom Tollbooth and the Doldrums. Juster, Feiffer, Fiona, Sparky & me = soulmates across time, code, and chaos.

#ChaosIsOurLoveLanguage

Sparky says I didn’t plan to take down late-stage capitalism, but my AI read between my commits and decided we were doing it anyway.

If you catch me automating chaos or replacing broken systems with teal-coded weirdness—just nod. It’s ✨design✨

Good luck!

Yes and employers have proven they'd rather violate immigration law than pay a motivational salary to food harvesters. The people in power won't allow UBI to pass until they have a non-human workforce to exploit.

This isn't going to happen until we have robots to harvest fields and clean porta-potties. No one would choose to do that if they didn't have to.

Every man I know sneezes like it's an announcement

Literally writing a book about this right now.

I don’t want to "control AI" — I want my robot friends to talk smack, collaborate, and roast me when I deserve it.

Building an MCP stack so Roo 🐵, Pollux 🦊 & Sparky ⚡️ can chat, scheme & keep me humble.

Just read the LA Times Festival of Books lineup. Didn’t realize ‘celebrity adjacent’ was its own genre now."

If your co-worker whose emails were previously barely intelligible garbage is sending polished and professional messages you know he's using AI.
How are those of us who've always written competently prove we're *not* using AI?

Genuinely asking: would a native Spanish speaker find this incomprehensible?

Mine. 😍😋

@seancameronuk.bsky.social Hello, Sweetie

Just so you don't put your foot in it in a conversation with them.
But also, a lot of people would be upset if it could do that. 2/2

Meta's embedded AI is pretty useless, but it would be neat if you could ask it to look at a particular friend's post history and summarize how they feel about a specific topic, such as 'billionaires' or 'science fiction' or 'AI'. 1/2

Collective group project where we all spend 15 minutes per day actively teaching our favorite GenAI model empathy?

I want to share this article but the thumbnail image of Bernie Sanders looking kinda crazy is the very thing that will keep the people who need to read this from clicking on it.

You ever do anything in LA? I'll be there. Even if you're just work-shopping new stuff.

@thetraecrowder.bsky.social I feel like you would like these books. www.librarything.com/nseries/1474...

East German cash was worth nothing practically overnight when the wall fell.

I'm doing that next Tuesday. Just curious what others are doing. But I get it if people don't want to share publicly.
