It would be better for our country, and more entertaining, if Disney made headlines by standing up to an authoritarian government, rather than by cowering before them. I never took Mickey Mouse for a fascist appeaser.
I just scheduled an appointment for FOUR VACCINES in one visit. A new personal record. I’m getting Flu, Pneumonia, Shingles, and yes, Covid-19, because I believe in science, and because I live in a state whose governor believes in science.
You puke you clean.
Welcome to San Gennaro!
Video description: colorful Ferris Wheel on Manhattan street, with Italian festival banner in lights spelling “Welcome to San Gennaro” hung in front.
No stopping anytime.
Just published MarsEdit 5.3.6, a quick follow-up to yesterday’s release that restores web browser integration functionality. redsweater.com/blog/4232…
Made me look twice.
Just posted MarsEdit 5.3.5 with a fix for a crash on macOS 26 Tahoe, and some other bug fixes. redsweater.com/blog/4230…
My town has been at work all summer, scrambling to adopt the Liquid Granite design language.
I don’t know if proximal-fascist shaming is a thing, but it should be. And Cheryl Hines should be very ashamed. I think at some point you can’t remain silent, you have to speak out: “Am I with my husband, or do I have my own take?”
Just heard @marcoarment@mastodon.social acknowledging on ATP that he benefits from therapy, and I want to throw 1000 positive awesome strokes in his direction for normalizing what we all can benefit from.
I’ve always been a huge CCR fan, but this video of John Fogerty playing with his kids only drives home how pure and cool he is. www.youtube.com/watch
It’s probably obvious to any peace-loving individual, but the “Department of Defense” spoke to America’s desire to be non-combative. Why would such a successful, rich country, want to be combative with anybody? Trump’s change to “Department of War” only serves to stir up potential rivalries.
I felt something on my hand, and found this little bug crawling around. So little. This is the tip of my index finger. iPhone camera did pretty well considering it was moving (!) while I took this.
A friend shared this video with me, from a recent competition. It’s not my fastest time in competition (21s) but it’s pretty good for a full-grown man!
Just posted FastScripts 3.3.8, with improvements to the handling of arrow keys for menu navigation, and refinements to the appearance of the search field. redsweater.com/blog/4228…
Has anybody else ever been surprised that your rock stars get old at the same rate that you do?
I’ve been haunted by Ben Gibbard’s “Farmer Chords” for a long time, but I finally decided to look up the chords and try to play it. Pretty satisfying. I can’t do the fancy fingerwork yet, but I’m going to make it a priority! www.youtube.com/watch
I recently turned 50. I recently solved a 2x2 cube in competition in 4.14 seconds. There are no official rankings for old people, but on the unofficial “senior” rankings, I’m #40 in the world in the 50+ age group. wca-seniors.org/Senior_Ra…
There are many things AI still can’t answer. Some, like the vagaries of Apple’s OSAKit API, can only be answered by swamp-dwelling jedi knights like Mark Alldritt. Thanks @alldritt@mstdn.ca
I wonder is Lake Tahoe will sue Apple for diminishing its brand. So much anti-Tahoe on social media.
Determining that a given task is better suited to a machine than a human is an age-old challenge. AI is the latest factor. Your success depends less on using AI than knowing when to use AI.
Whenever Claude or another LLM says “I see the problem!” I imagine Dora the Explorer bouncing in front of me with a fixed smile.
I got sucked into an anti-trans thread rooted in one of J.K. Rowling’s utterly deplorable, obsessive takes on trans people. So many people are worried about trans women seeing cis women undressing. Why aren’t they equally worried about any person seeing another person undressing?
My coach’s DMs to God were answered. Beer Boys are 2025 champions, two years in a row!
