Luigi could take down a CEO. But Mario?

Huh, those don’t sound like the kinds of jobs at risk from AI either, right?

Hey, I’ve got good news. By the weekend it’ll warm up and the Mach-E’s range should be back over 300.

Would also be nice to have Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People on modern consoles too, just sayin’, @skunkapegames.com.

I’m so happy to have this silly game back. Hopefully we get Poker Night 2 eventually too. #NintendoSwitch #PokerNightAtTheInventory

LLM-generated code is not copyrightable, according to the US Supreme Court.

So a purely LLM-generated file in an OSS project should not have a license header, and is free for anyone to take. No license applies.

Pretty wild. LLM-generated code is now a poison pill for important OSS projects.

Oh, that good one by Hitoshi Sakimoto.

No, not that one, the other one.
No, the other other one.
No, seriously, the one over there.

I think the big hole in my understanding of Shakespeare is the histories, since as an English major we focused on the tragedies and comedies. I think the only one I’ve seen at all is the Kenneth Branaugh movie version of β€œHenry V” (which f’ing rips, BTW).

As You Like It, King Lear, Measure for Measure, Merchant of Venice (with obvious caveats on that last one).

If I have to pick from those… probably Lear.

Here in West Michigan, it's been around $2.80 for a while, but yesterday it shot up to $3.30. And yeah, I know that's nothing compared to CA.

I finally went back and watched BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! and it might be one of my favourite anime teen dramas ever?? I wrote here about how this show really nails the emotionality of its main girls and the setup of its character-driven stakes: theafictionado.wordpress.com/2026/03/05/s...

Have been debating with other EV owners what the price has to be before we start gloating. Out of an abundance of patriotism, we’ll hold off until it hits $4.25/gal.

I’ve been wondering for a while what the likely outcome would be if you put an F-35 up against a wall of 25,000 cheap drones from Amazon, each carrying a 2 lb rock.

Random memory from the old place, just for the anime-heads: remember that Atelier Shallie cosplayer who was also a computer security expert and did one of the first big deep dives into the Heartbleed vulnerability (I think)? Did she ever come over here?

A map of gas prices along West River Drive and Plainfield Avenue in northeastern Grand Rapids, showing gas prices in the 3 dollar 30 cent range. Yesterday at this time, everything was under 2 70.

Annnd there’s the 50-cent spike in gas prices we all knew was coming. (Don’t be fooled by the Citgo; it’s just that nobody has logged into GasBuddy there since yesterday.)

I’m mostly tuned in because Dunkin’ is in the midst of their second attempted reconquista of the Grand Rapids market after having completely disappeared during the Great Recession and again in the late 2010s. They’re opening one just near us and my coffee-loving wife and youngest kid are psyched.

if a company tries to announce a new live service game anytime in the next 10 years, their stock should not survive the opening paragraph and their executives should never get another paycheck in their lives

It’s an ICE staging center that told its queer and Black customers to go fuck themselves.
