Definitive proof that the minions were in Palo Alto working for Leland Stanford

San Francisco police officers shut down the annual street fireworks shows in the Mission District this year, as they do most years. Officers moved block by block, giving dispersal orders & yelling "Move!" The crowds retreated quickly, & soon thinned.

Sure, Polymarket and Kalshi don't allow you to bet on the deaths of public figures, but I feel they should make an exception for Mitch McConnell. Why should I have to vibe code a dead pool website myself for my friends and family?

It feels like 114 degrees. I'm eating a homemade moon pie the pool and drinking a Modelo.

This video of the PR2 folding laundry is 14 years old. Get a new gimmick! Also are we just a bunch of lazy children that we need robot mommy to fold our laundry for us? youtu.be/Thpjk69h9P8?is=OJWj…
The robot demo that draws a crowd in person is almost never the one that goes viral online. At every robotics floor we've been on, from CES to ICRA, the longest line isn't the backflip. It's the robot folding shirts.

For fucks sake people, a lot of us have a four day weekend. If you don't have a four day weekend, YES, you do! Quit fucking working. At least stop messaging me.

Look, I'm no design expert but the new Busch Gardens branding is absolutely horrible. It looks like Olive Garden and a prescription drug for eczema had a baby.

There needs to be a 17 syllable German word for working in open source, going on vacation, and doing more open source work because no one else is going to do it. FFS, review a PR or send your favorite FOSS non profit $20. We're the ones making technology suck less.

Went out for breakfast today and my dad was chatting up our waitress. We learned that she had a baby just the week before and this was her first day back. I hate this country so much. Every woman and child deserves at least a couple months of paid maternity leave.

This is Virginia where there is no state or federal maternity leave. This state should be fucking ashamed of itself. I left her a big tip and it still doesn't feel like enough. I pay a shit ton if taxes and this is what I want my money spent on.

Update: our fam was waiting in line for our last coaster of the day. People with the fast pass kept cutting us in line. Just before our turn the coaster broke down leaving the line cutters in the blazing VA sun for a solid 30 minutes. Feels like some justice was served.
It is shit like this that makes everyone in America angry except the 1%.
