I find it very suspicious that the Queen of England, the Queen of Canada, and the Queen of Jamaica all died on the same day.

a vast gulf between "we've always done this, so we keep doing it because of inertia" and "we've always done this, therefore it makes perfect sense and i will not be taking questions"

computer, show me tweets only from ireland

It’s ok we don’t have to agree on everything, and we can still have other stuff in common. Like how I don’t like the violence of colonialism or pretending to be destined by god to hoard generational riches from colonialism and enslavement, but I do love corgis! ❤️

I know @matt_levine was joking here, but now I have to make a networked version of Pac-Man that costs $0.25 to play, and the four people playing the ghosts split the money based on how quickly they can kill him. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-09-08/gary-gensler-wants-to-regulate-crypto

In the past I used to go to other creator friends to make sure I wasn't stepping on toes.

ALL of them didn't care and basically said "do your thing and let the audience decide."

I did end up scheduling based on what worked for me and it all balanced out.

Please be respectful when talking about the Queen. She was a head of state, a monarch, a mother to multiple pedophiles and most importantly a devoted cousin to her husband

Joking about the Queen dying is NOT okay. Whether you like her or not, she was someone’s wife, mother, sister, cousin. This is a very hard day for that one man.

the national anthem just legally changed its pronouns far easier than any trans person in the uk can btw

Nations, everyone in England is distracted. It’s the perfect time to get your stuff back from the British Museum.

The governor has declared a state of emergency and asked all Californians to not run `npm install` between 4 PM and 9 PM today in an effort to save energy.

A man in McDonald’s just ordered an apple pie and the cashier said “would you like to do two apple pies instead” while giving no reasoning or context and the man said “yes.” I demand all conversations moving forward to be this way. Efficient, goal-oriented, apple pie adjacent.

Apple Watch Ultra is perfect for those aspirational folks who buy a giant truck then use it exclusively to drop their kids off at school.

In the age of cell phones, the area code has become the ancestral clan name or heraldry. It is a marker of old stories, loyalties, a statement that says "there was a land I came from but am there no longer"

This looks like an absolutely incredible product for people who have much more hardcore lives than I do

Mt. Rainier appears to be venting. 🗻 @komonews currently has a call in with @MountRainierNPS to confirm. Stay tuned. #wawx #komonews

Keynote predictions.

Apple: We gave a professional cinematographer this new iPhone and they made a whole movie with it which won an Oscar.

Me: Takes slightly better pictures of squirrels.

some kind of scheme where nerds who want to set up static site generators and don't actually want to write blog posts are paired up with writers who want a nice blog setup and don't want to have to understand how technology works

I can't believe most major apps in which we buy digital goods have broken their purchasing process to force you out of the app & onto the web to avoid the platform tax & we've just sorta accepted this huge hit to ease-of-use and no one seems to be complaining or talking about it

Tiny design detail: nested border radii look really funky if they're the same. To maintain the same curvature, the outer radius = inner radius + padding.
