the addition of Gonger and his absolutely unhinged energy to Cookie Monster has the effect of making cookie seem 100% normal. what a fascinating casting choice. i can’t get over it.

@Flarnie flarnie, this is a tostada!

love watching this global financial game of 'nose goes' play out

I want the mug, the t-shirt, the bobblehead, the wall calendar where all the national holidays are marked "FINANCIAL CALAMITY", the stickers, and Matt Levine saying "people are concerned about Thomas's availability" as my outgoing voicemail message.

@chiaberry omfg a nightmare

i feel like it's been a while since we've seen a totally unexpected/horrifying mundane data breach with outsized effects, like, i'm sort of waiting to hear that somebody has stolen the voice recordings that call centers keep for dispute resolution (and stored who knows where) and used that to train a model that someone can use to phish my bank account over the phone to gradually siphon its contents into crypto.

babe, wake up, a new platonic solid just dropped

@bshaykin how high’s the water, mama?

@siracusa @ChristianWengert looks like a low-rent sony xel-1

@bryanjclark it’s way less work than a mac mini (which i had going for like ten years until i got the synology). imagine, if you will, never having it dismiss an issue update notification or wonder how broken everything will be if it is accidentally accepted. disks aren’t cheap though, i’ll concede that

@bryanjclark i will say that it’s extremely no nonsense, super plug and play, and only as fussy as you want to make it, it’s otherwise just a compact box ‘o disks somewhere in your house (but it does make a noticeable amount of disk noise so…)

@bryanjclark we’re all around you, bryan

i have found the best sticker ever

@andy_matuschak this is absolutely me btw, got a hal leonard book two page disney super easy songbook for irene, super approachable, i could play everything in one go with the chords, irene thought i was a real good piano player 🤫, i bought chilly gonzales’ reintroduction etudes and used that to get some variety in my life

@andy_matuschak when i bought some easy arrangement of holiday tracks for irene i strongly considered it but didn’t have the time to devote to it, glad it’s good, though, maybe when i free up a little i’ll give it a go

It's something unpredictable, but in the sand that's bare
Look upon my works and despair 🎶

kind of interesting how this was incredibly ubiquitous for a time and then pretty much vanished. didnt help that alienware jacked their logo from it

@caseyjohnston agree 100%
