Was walking home with some cans of catfood ripping through a paper bag and thinking about Supertyphoon Haiyan/Yolanda when I realized I’d just missed its tenth anniversary.

@aljavieera That explains why the store just called to say they were out of them.

I grew up in a rainier version of the climate I live in now, and it just started raining, and it’s stupendous.

Time to settle down with a big mug of herbal tea to look at some abandoned essays and remember why I abandoned them.

Time keeps sneaking up on me. It’s already November again and time to pick up a new screen light for the insect sky.

@migurski Insisting on spelling things out in unary “for portability”.

Wishing a joyous and fulfilling 1700000000 to all who celebrate. Nothing but empathy and understanding to those for whom it is a difficult occasion.

@richardaudette @timbray I suspect that if you asked the GoPro technical staff what engineering issues they work hardest on, this would be in the top 3. It’s one of their most important competitive advantages.

@tmcw Saw a guy in a tiktok who looked just like you.

@meetar The existence of homebrew has been of great benefit to me over the years; on the other hand, every time I encounter a project-wide policy decision of theirs I have to read it again to be sure I’m not misunderstanding.

The landlord’s on the roof and the cat is staring out the window with an ostrich in her thought balloon.

@urschrei I, on the other hand, am a non-academic American, which is fucking mindblowingly awesome!!!

@urschrei I would go further than “may not be great” but I’m glad.

@bamfic Oh, I very much do consider that.

@incanus I certainly think we can blame the idea of “the future” for a whole lot of problems.

@darius That’s flattering; I think of you as someone many steps ahead of me in thinking about such things.

@pwramsey Yeah, I don’t begrudge people in exploited positions using the bad system protectively, but I do hope we get around to fixing the system eventually.
