For full effect, it helps to read this interview with the Reddit CEO in the voice of Justin Hammer from Iron Man 2. What a terrible communicator. theverge.com/2023/6/15/23762…

For the last few years I’ve been crossposting to Twitter (and Mastodon, etc) via micro.blog. But, because of the new Twitter API limits, this will no longer be possible. Will have to decide if I’m willing to keep Twitter.

Star Trek: Resurgence is a must-play for any Star Trek people. The format fits Star Trek perfectly. A great old-fashioned story. 5/5 would play again. startrek-resurgence.com

This is the first Apple keynote in more than a decade that I just totally forgot was happening. Can’t tell if that’s because I’m so busy right now or if I’m not excited by the headset. Maybe they finally improved the SwiftUI docs.

My 7-year-old is trying to convince us that the only way it’s fair for him to take a COVID test is if his two non-symptomatic parents also have to take a COVID test.

On April 15th I pulled a yogurt out of the fridge. The Best Before date says “MA 18”. Is that March? Is it May? Could we really not shell out for one extra character?

I wish Intuit would use some of that enormous lobbying budget to get a law in place where all the banks need to provide an API.
