It pains me to say this but using Cursor + Grok has made me excited to be a .NET Developer again. The combo is really good and is augmentative to my work vs trying to overengineer and replace me (looking at you Claude and ChatGPT...) It follows my lead a lot better.

This Apple Event is genuinely boring. I'm not talking about the products. It's just super low energy. Like everyone is tired and just pushing through to seem high energy but it's not working and feels awkward and dull.

Masters of the Universe was fantastic and I’m really upset we’re probably not going to get more. Everyone involved understood the assignment and to be honest knew how to treat the source (OG cartoon) with respect while also acknowledging it was super goofy. A few minor missteps here and there but overall it was fun and colorful and the sound track, my god the soundtrack, was insane. Will be seeing it in theatres again. My daughters absolutely loved it and really want a She-Ra movie.

I've been delving deep into Wolverine as not only a replacement for MediatR and MassTransit but for Sagas. I built a workflow engine on top of it that allows you to do decision trees with multiple step dependencies and it works amazingly. Thanks @jeremydmiller! It's awesome!

NGL that’s pretty funny. Totally wrong and you totally shouldn’t do that, ever, for cereal. But I got a chuckle.
🚨 OH MY GOD. This is real. Washington state toll payers got an official email from @wsdot with a link that redirected them to FUCKICE.ORG. We’ve asked the state for comment.

I'm seeing a video of a woman being shot by ICE agents. There's a lot of back and forth about was the shooting justified or not. I'm seeing ugly comments about how she deserved it. I'm going to say this: I'm sorry she's dead. I'm truly sad and sad for the family and loved ones she left behind. This was a tragic loss of human life, period.

My boss vibe coded a complete dashboard app in React with an Azure function serverless API backend with full UI and processing logic. ...none of it works and I'm fixing it...

Bing search is an absolute disaster, and Copilot is no better. I wanted to go download VS2026 to one of my workstations and this is what I got by default. Not one download link or reference to Visual Studio. it's for VS Live. Fucking clown show at Microsoft.

Just got my Playnix by the makers of EmuDeck (@EmuDeck) and I have to say, I’m genuinely impressed by the build quality and the overall fit and finish of the system packing a 5600+9060 XT. I expected the quality to be good but aside from a few 3D print lines you can only see up close, you can’t tell this isn’t a big name console. Excellent job! My wife has been using gaming as a way to fight her depression and this is her early Christmas present. Absolutely thrilled.

I have higher than normal liver enzymes so I started taking Dose. My liver specialist at my last visit told me to stop immediately. The extracts beyond milk thistle can actually cause issues. ChatGPT also mirrored this sentiment.
[TL;DR] Supporting your Liver = Supporting your whole body. One daily 2oz shot to support digestion, metabolism, and healthy liver enzyme levels. Try Dose.

I feel like Tarantino is on a quest to burn good will. I met Matthew once YEARS ago and he’s genuinely a cool person and he’s always a joy to watch. I’ve been a fan since Hackers. Tarantino on the other hand feels like he’s obligated to be an absolute cuntbag because he’s talented behind the camera. Never meet your heroes I guess.
Matthew Lillard reacts to Quentin Tarantino's comments about him "Quentin Tarantino says he doesn't like me as an actor ... it hurts your feelings, it fucking sucks, and he wouldn't say that to Tom Cruise ... or a top-line actor ... I'm very popular with [my fans] and not very popular in Hollywood. Two totally different microcosms ... It's humbling, and it hurts"

I actually appreciate PETA making this post diverse. Well played PETA, well played.
Apparently, eating a nutroast is weird, but this is perfectly normal.

Replying to @Matt_Pinner
Personally? I don't mind male cheerleaders. That being said, the choreographer should be fired. Men and women have different structures that allow them to move differently. She has a man on her squad. She should lean into that and create some really unique choreography show casing it instead of just trying to make him "one of the girls". Notice the way he arches his back to like the girls. That's an unnatural stance for men. It makes him look awkward and stand out more. I love the ballet but the first thing you'll notice is the difference in technique, style and choreography between male and female dances. A good choreographer can work with that difference and create something great. So, male cheerleaders? No problem. Flamboyantly gay male cheerleaders? No problem. Bad choreography? Big problem.

It is now my official head canon that Back to the Future, Blade Runner, Alien and Predator all take place in the same universe. This is all due to Doc Brown fucking around with the timeline and creating the timeline that leads to Blade Runner and then Weyland being mentored by Tyrell (Prometheus/Aliens) and Weyland-Yutani appearing in the Predator movies.

Just saw Predator: Badlands with my 12 year old daughter and we both had a blast. As much as I love the first two, it was nice to share a moment of violence and sci-fi with my eldest with risking the scarring of the 80s. It was nice dad/daughter moment and now she WANTS to watch the others. It was a little more “Star Wars”/“Jurrasic World” than OG Predator but the fight scenes were fun and aside from a weird moment where a snake sacrifices itself it was solid. Maybe we can look at Badlands as a gateway for a younger audience to enjoy the franchise.
Is it just me or does all this sudden Predator hype seem a tad... manufactured?

I like her plan of no capital gains on primaries. However, people that keep saying in the comments that this is debt servitude and life debt and renting is better have no idea how money works. Also, people that say you get your money back when you sell and make money have no idea how money works.
I don’t like 50 year mortgages as the solution to the housing affordability crisis. It will ultimately reward the banks, mortgage lenders. and home builders while people pay far more in interest over time and die before they ever pay off their home. In debt forever, in debt for life! Instead stop companies and asset managers from buying up single family homes, which has driven the price of homes and forced homebuyers to compete with corporations that turn thousands of homes into permanent rental homes. Let people with a good rent history qualify for mortgages. And.. PASS MY BILL - NO CAPITAL GAINS TAXES ON THE SALE OF YOUR PRIMARY HOME. This will help people keep the equity they have earned owning their home for a very long time and likely allow them to lower the price of their home for sale since they won’t be paying taxes after they sell their home. It really will help seniors sell their houses and keep their equity, which also in turn gives them money they need and that gets put back in the economy.

Holy crap. It's worse this year. 90% of the country is insufferable... Because a person got voted in as mayor. Seriously.
I hate the first Wednesday of November. 50% of the country becomes insufferable for about a month.
