Trained my cat to let me clip his nails because he knows he'll get treats after. Except now I can't clip my own nails in peace
It's 2026 and people still care about how to pronounce gif?

Pure comedy.
It's my one year anniversary at my job and my first meeting isn't until noon. I get to spend all morning just coding.

Liking your job is wild because I get emails every pay day and every time, I am shocked that 2 weeks has already passed
Wife asking if I ate all the blue m&ms and a picture of the container without any visible blue m&ms on top
16 days later (I have not eaten more than I did that day)
My wife got us tickets to Sleep Token 🥹🥹

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but today is the first day of your life. Close all the the tabs-mentally, emotional and literally. Take a breath, get outside if you can and start fresh.
This is also true of writing code!!
Just write something!!
It can be ugly, inefficient, fail to run—doesn’t matter!!
It *will* help you become better.
The best part of bsky is it feels like the one place on the internet that isn't advertising something to me. Bless
Wild Coast Raw, the company responsible for the tainted food which is causing indoor-only cats to die of bird flu, is deleting comments on their Instagram about the topic. So they're killing pets and trying to cover it up. Cool.
I was beginning to feel like we might finally have precedented times but now I'm thinking we'll be in unprecedented forever. Every day, a new escalation.

A cropped screenshot from Amazon’s “Your Content and Devices” interface showing a highlighted “Deliver or Remove from Device” button at the top, followed by a “Delete” button. Below that is an expanded drop-down menu with several options, including “Mark as Read,” “Download & transfer via USB,” “Clear Furthest Page Read,” “Read Now,” “Add or Remove from Collection,” “Purchase Audible Audiobook,” “Order Details,” “Gift Now,” and “Manage Family Library.”
FYI, Amazon will no longer enable the downloading of ebooks to exterior devices starting February 26th. You need a pre 2024 Kindle to download them via USB. If you want the aw3 files convertable with Calibre(free), you have until Feb 26 to do this via the Content library option on your account.
