guys if you're trusting unsourced polymarket 'breaking news' paraphrases of weeks-old interview statements just because they tee up a nice quote-tweet dunk then I regret to inform you but you're not gonna make it
I feel like someone has already thought of this, but I am constantly plagued by the thought of doing an (appropriately Lady Gaga-inspired) burlesque act where Jorge Luis Borges is tied to a chair and menaced by three cunty depictions of Judas.
An ominous crystal ball glows red and illuminates the enormous (fake) ruby perched on a seance table
Character information envelopes, decorated with wax seals and pressed flowers. There are postcards featuring vintage magic acts paper clipped to them

Thank you to everyone who visited Lively Manor last night! I hope this won’t be the last time we see these characters or this setting.

happy rectangular february, sunday-first world.

oh good point
I'm basically always working in low dependency environments unfortunately. But I'll pass it along!
It probably would were I writing this code for realsies, but I'm doing this horrid unsafe thing because I just want to demonstrate a type level pattern
i could have stuck a todo!() here instead
some rust code with the comment "my petard can wait"
I love writing safety comments
This meant that @elizas.website and @hikikomorphism.bsky.social had an extended conversation describing debugging coding projects entirely in terms of a demon summoning that went wrong.
The meaning of life is finding friends willing to commit to the bit.

it is incredibly instructive that the product is called an "Edible Arrangement" and not a "Delicious Arrangement"

the cross was also watermelon, the jesus was raspberry, honeydew, and mango
@manishearth.bsky.social made a Passion(fruit) of the Christ when we watched Assassin 33AD last Easter, and I’m trying to remember what melon we hollowed out for the tomb.
(in context this is about a murder mystery. but I do also have vague plans for mapping the territory of the local crows at some point)
for future plausible deniability reasons it's important to often text your friends things like "i am so hype for murder"
heh i actually tried to better this situation to a friend using "two bits" though "two bits" is a bit more archaic than "4 annas" (you only use "two bits" in fossilized idioms, vs "4 annas" is a thing my mom has said to me many times, despite being younger than the decimalization of the currency)

has she considered applying for nationals
four stick figures on sleds, one is sliding face first, face down, marked "skeleton", diagonally opposite to it is one sliding feet first, face up, marked "luge". The other two combinations are drawn and labeled with question marks
given the existence of skeleton and luge, i postulate the existence of two other, yet to be discovered, winter olympic sports
In Japanese, you address elder men as OG-chan and i think that's beautiful
By many metrics the new Temporal date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever 🔥
Like Kiesel, V8 chose to reuse Boa's open source Rust-based temporal_rs by @jason-williams.co.uk from TechAtBloomberg, Kevin Ness & Manish 👍

ECMAScript excitement 😉
🚨🚨🚨 IT'S ABOUT TIME! 🚨🚨🚨
Congrats to @manishearth.bsky.social on shipping the Temporal API in Chrome 144 stable today 🎉

Temporal is the replacement for the Date API.
given how common the "you're the sole survivor of a spaceship crash on a hostile planet" story is in factory games, someone should make a reverse-factory game where you play as an alien tracking down and destroying colonizers who fall out of the sky and try to turn your planet into green tech cards

"while sexy christmas outfits are often characterized by exposure of skin, similarly structured clothing is not well adapted channukah due to the amount of frying involved. high-coverage clothing, such as latex, presents a better opportunity. in this paper i will...""
yep! like, if you want to test ability to perform under time pressure, be explicit about it, and justify why you think that's useful. otherwise it's a pointless distraction
("abusable" accomodation = something that gives abled people a leg up too. e.g. having a reader doesn't really give you a leg up and I would be surprised to hear if someone was abusing that accomodation)
yeah I'm not saying a universal solution is always possible
though specifically in the case of education abusable accomodations are very often patching up a flaw in the system that has nothing to do with disability
