May the lord above protect upon my American compatriots as they’re forced to fight another pointless war, and may he grant mercy to those he can’t, but may each gun jam and may each missile misfire. May he forgive us for all the suffering we’ve caused

Ok let the record show that this was made prior to the start of this particular war. Today extra sucks

The world may be scary rn, but I’m an indomitable optimist and you cannot kill me. We’re all gonna be alright

I’m really lucky to have the community that I have. It’s big and it spans across the entire globe. That sucks at times, because I can’t see everyone in person that I want to, but just know that if you’re reading this, I’m so happy that you exist and I’m so thankful that you’re in my life

Becoming American should be as easy as ordering a hamburger. You should only have to say “I want to be American” and a passport and voter ID should suddenly appear in your mailbox, no matter where in the world you live. Idk why you’d wanna summon the IRS like Beetlejuice but you should be able to

Hockey is also not for Kash Patel specifically

Hockey is for everyone, including women. Only exception being the people who think hockey isn’t for everyone

It sucks so much being a hockey fan and an American because the USMNT is so good but then they immediately ruin it

Remember like 5 years ago when people were talking about how the global financial system was inevitably going to become based completely upon NFTs and Dogecoin or whatever any anybody who wasn’t investing right then was gonna be left behind?

Very eerie how I can see multiple USAF aircraft every day on their way to the Middle East. They all pass over my apartment in The Hague. Hopefully they’ll be forced to stop here someday

I hope this ends within the next 24 minutes because I have a client meeting at the top of the hour but I don’t wanna put this down 😬

How we feelin’ now? 😅

Extremely funny that if you’re registering to vote as an American living abroad, they ask you if you ever intend to return to the US, and your options are only “yes” and “uncertain”

“is there a technology that the left is excited about?”

Trains. We love trains, actually

I did this in 2024, right before Trump was elected. Feel free to AMA, happy to answer any questions

Growing up in America, you learn in school that Europeans conquered the world for spices, but it sounds so theoretical. That’s such an irrational reaction for something as normal as spice, right? Surely their meals already had flavor, right? Then you come to Europe and suddenly you understand

I’ve ironically become more redneck since I left Nashville and moved to the other side of the world, but it’s quite the blackpill that I still have to sit in a bar and hear Morgan Wallen on the radio

If you design for the average person, you only design for yourself. The average person does not exist

Gonna choose a random letter and develop an autistic obsession with it like Elon Musk has with the letter X

They speak better English than the Londoners 😉

There’s something so insidious about using 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 as the flag to represent English in a language selector

Every day I’m vindicated in my decision to never make a TikTok account

They call it a terrorbyte because I’m scared of having that much data to manage

Programming is so stupid. What do you mean I have to explain myself to a haunted pile of rocks?

Absolutely surreal to have been in the Ann Frank House museum yesterday at the moment when ICE executed another innocent person back home. I hope all of my fellow Americans understand the reaction we need to have in this moment

Like I believe in all the ideals of open-source but I don’t want it to be used to burn the planet and feed the slop machine. The legal part of my brain says that this problem is solved with the right license but the pragmatist in my brain understands that nobody gives a shit about licenses

Visual generative AI models (such as those that generate images) suffer from a flaw where their training set can be “poisoned” by images that look normal to a human but look completely different to a generative AI model. How do I do that for LLMs with my open-source code?

I wish the American left was half as cool as my small-town red-state former-pastor thinks it is
