Does anyone use Tumblr (besides @crumbler@threads.net) ? How about Medium?
My friends, when pasting a link to an Apple News article, please take a moment and get the link to the original publication’s article. Clicking a link and seeing the Apple News interface pop up is… not great.

Rewatched Gladiator last night. I’ve seen it a million times before but it’s been awhile. Joaquin Phoenix’s performance is underrated.
Cross-posting is fun
Fediversing is dope, see?
Testing it out now.
In The Godfather, Tom Hagan explains that Sollozzo is good with the knife. And yet, we never see Sollozzo use a knife. Ever. We never hear him bragging about how good he is with it. We never hear anyone else mention it either. Why the callout with the knife?
Dear Floridians: today’s NYC quake was basically a tropical storm in terms of severity. You’re welcome.
Topics discussed at dinner tonight with my wife and kids. • Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry. • The opening lines of Romeo and Juliet. • The medical condition known as tenesmus. • Gödel’s Incompleteness theorems. • The date calculation used to determine the date of Easter Sunday. • Leap year logic.
My family is totally normal.
This is your daily reminder that you only feel gravity when you’re NOT falling.
Found a bug. Fixed. And by that, I mean the wife found a roach in the cabinet, sprayed everything in there with bug spray, slammed it shut and put duct tape over it in the shape of a big X so no one in the house would use the now tainted cups and mugs in said cabinet.
Optometrists love to place that new pair of glasses on your face as if you’re royalty having the crown placed on your head at your coronation. You just know when you get home you’re going to unceremoniously throw those glasses right on the nightstand just like every other night.

I wouldn’t call it a “living document”. It’s a glorified wiki page. Electronic communications aren’t suddenly reproducing or taking in nutrients. Let’s all calm down.
What we didn’t know at the time was that every time Steve Ballmer said “developers” in that famous clip, a new version of .NET would spawn in the future. This is Steve’s revenge on all .NET developers: a gazillion different versions of the runtime.
“Beware the ides of March” 🏛️ 🗡️
I’m being 100% serious: I’ve started working from my bed (my laptop literally propped on my lap) and my productivity has gone way up. I don’t get it, but I won’t question it either.
I’m convinced the highway billboard advertising industry is entirely supported by the personal injury attorney cartel.
The other day I did something I never thought I would end up doing: I called Amazon support. Apparently, one of my kids inadvertently signed up for an Amazon Music subscription (yes, those apparently exist). I called the number after trying to resolve the issue online and getting nowhere. My expectations were pretty much nonexistent. But I gotta say, after explaining the situation, Amazon support was extremely helpful and resolved the issue. Not only that, but I was refunded as well.
Book recommendation and leap day are a great combination! Here’s one that I recently read. Camille Fournier lays out the path in a way engineers and other tech workers will find easy to understand (trust me, if I was able to understand it, anyone can). I will be re-reading this again very soon. 👍🏻
