I am on a very crowded bus.I was pressed against a very white, older man.I'm wearing a shirt with characters from Helluva Boss.(I'm off to see Hazbin Hotel.)He stared. Hard. In a Southern accent, he said, "Is that some kind of OCCULT symbol?"I just grinned at him.He got off at the next stop.I can't believe that I'm still freaking the mundanes.

A Brit was trying to explain the concept of "freedom of speech" to an American."You see, even in London, I can shout 'Keir Starmer sucks!' and no one can arrest me."Oh," said the American. "Then we must already have that here. I can shout 'Keir Starmer sucks!' in the United States, too!"

I had my COVID and flu shots yesterday. Today, as often happens when I get my COVID shots, I'm dizzy and mildly nauseous.Not fun. I have chicken soup, and I've been keeping quiet today.I'm sorry that I'm not getting out at all this weekend.

The longer I live, the more weird I'm convinced that I am.I finally met up with an old friend who lives in Los Angeles, but we haven't had a chance to meet.I discovered that he works about four blocks from where I live.Now, I live in a wildly diverse neighborhood with restaurants, taco trucks, and sidewalk tacos. (Sidewalk tacos are for when taco trucks are too fancy.)His favorite place to eat in the area?Taco Bell.Next time we meet, I am thinking about walking him from where he works to the perpetually-parked taco truck area, asking him how much he usually spends at Taco Bell, and showing him that he can eat well for about the same price.Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggghhh!

@tango Taco trucks are a little more expensive than Taco Bell.But street tacos are about the same price as Taco Bell. And better tasting.

@raccoon With all due respect... it could be ANYTHING.I found that about 70 people blocked me on BlueSky because I was on a list of having interacted with a right-wing asshole. (I yelled at him.)shrug People block me for good reasons. People block me for bad reasons. They're allowed.

@futurebird "Istanbul Not Constantinople" b y They Might Be Giants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XlO39kCQ-8 It deserves its popularity."On the Painted Desert" by Boom Boom Satellites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNSzdmO-eAg It shows what a good composer can do with alternating between two chords. "Time to Be Awesome" from MLP: The Movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rgBWhNIDOE This song is PURE corny. It's from a movie about multicolored ponies. But... every time I hear it, I smile.

One coworker -- who I'll call Xavier -- does everything through LLMs. He's the kind of developer that managers who have never been programmers adore: 3000 lines of code per day.I just realized that Xavier cannot read code, even code that he submits for review. He "understands" code by running it against test files and seeing whether results are reasonable. He can only say what the code does, not what causes it to behave in a way. But that has several problems. An obvious first issue is that if a problem doesn't show up in the test file, then it will never be fixed. A less obvious issue is that his code is brittle and it generalizes very poorly. Because Xavier doesn't read code, he has a very tough time imagining "What might go wrong?" And because he relies on the LLM, he misses very broad solutions, like using well-established libraries that solve dozens of problems at once.Programmers who dive deep are still very, very useful.

Last week, I saw the "new" TV show "Best Medicine", a remake of the UK's "Doc Martin".I got the exact opposite impression of the town than what I think the producers intended.As far as I can tell, the producers intended for the town to be filled with "quirky, full of life" characters and for Dr Best to be the "stick in the mud" character.I saw a town that rejects consent and personal autonomy.The most evil character is Elaine Denton, the receptionist who thinks that people's medical problems are appropriate to broadcast to YouTube -- with her playing as a stuffed bear.Dr Best is a private person, but he takes patient privacy seriously.But the series plays out -- oh, isn't it FUNNY that he takes patent privacy seriously? See? He's just as quirky as the rest of the town! Isn't that funny?I -- I don't think I can watch another episode.

Live the kind of life so that real people will praise you as much as newspapers praise mass murderers.

On July 4, 2026, the United States will have its 250th anniversary.You've been asked to contribute one man and one woman (and, if you choose, also one non-binary person) from the United States' history to appear in a retrospective.Which two or three people would you choose?#questionOfTheDay
