new sabrina carpenter record sounds like the music in a tv show about a fictitious pop star
I haven't spent a bunch of time with LLM coding tools but more than once i've seen them desperately try to round corners and add drop shadows while doing something unrelated for a web app, and that's funny
trump 👏 dying 👏 is 👏 a 👏 distraction
technically speaking, failing to secure an indictment against the sandwich guy is lowering the crime rate
you're too kind
traditionally prosecutors have had better luck charging the sandwich
wow. check the timestamp
this is very cool! i'm excited to follow along with this. ruby's environmental complexities have really impeded my ability to enjoy the language i think I have one small note on the syntax in the blog post itself, which is that (if i'm not mistaken) uv's exec is spelled `uvx` or `uv tool run`
what’s the name for a version-and-dependency-and-more manager like `uv`? I don’t know, but I’m building one for Ruby anyway andre.arko.net/2025/08/25/r...
Great pains, small gains for those who ask the world to solve them; it cannot solve itself.

a lot of people on here acting tough about the subway but what if you were in a movie theater and it was coming directly at you on screen
being afraid of the subway is so fucking funny. you mean the choo-choo train???
joke's on them though, i'm starting to put 〠 and 〰 into every other sentence to prove i can write good organically
huge bummer about AI has been learning how many people think em dashes are strange and exotic
considering having opinions again, being opinionated, forming and expressing opinions, that kind of thing
"mountain dew" is such a beautiful name for that product
thank you for writing this!
ummmm spoilers??? (jk sorry sorry)
jack's liquor sign, central avenue, albuquerque, new mexico, 1979
well plus you probably don't have good signal! you're in a dang cave!
yes, i'm looking for something like this but browser-based, although looking through this maybe that's not worth deploying because it'd be unauthenticated
i also love the pet-owner meaning of "gradually introducing"
honestly a couples costume with a red envelope 😍
now i'm craving chips
not to brag but i think the total revenue from my monthly subscription tops this slightly
if you saw this post and thought, "wow i bet parker would entertain offers of full-time employment right now," you'd be correct!
jesus and god combine for the same total as parker; i will leave the theological suitability of that as an exercise for the reader
anyway, what i'm getting at is the movie really spoke to me
dallas, by a hair, and i think telling you the 2nd most would be considered a spoiler
comes in just behind "kitty" which i'm not treating as a proper noun for my analysis (and which gets a real boost from being said three times in a row nearly every time it's mentioned)
saw ALIEN (1979) at film forum yesterday and crunched some numbers to confirm a hunch: "parker" is the third most common proper noun in the dialog, said 35% more times than "ripley," and nearly 5× as often as "nostromo"
see it's like the thing he said in that movie. repeating a movie line is a joke
if you get a chance to see "shin godzilla" while it is briefly back in theaters, take it! even if you're not usually a godzilla person. it's so good
really enjoyed the naked gun
oh hey, see you there!

yes! I kind of feel the same way about outdoor advertising, even, though I think my desire to place a bus ad (for what? just something nice I guess?) is probably weirder than the urge to print a poster or a high-end zine
looking at the products offered by my local print shop is so inspirational, man! I don't know why but it makes me want to print so bad
are there any other digits on this thing
you experienced negative one crimes
there's still time
oh my god I did it this time! *rent-stabilized, his apartment is rent-stabilized not rent-controlled, rent-stabilized like a million other nyc apartments bsky.app/profile/xor....
I think this phrasing reflects quite poorly on jeffries, for example! maybe you can't control whether cnbc asks you about it, but you can certainly dismiss it as irrelevant (because it is) bsky.app/profile/kenk...
nobody is under any obligation to treat zohran's college apps or rent-controlled apartment like scandals, which means that anybody who does so is making that choice
this had me casting my mind's eye back through the history of nyc mayors to see who I could imagine in a pinky ring and I think I got it in one
just on a fundamental level, the functions of a social media platform are the result of a million product decisions nudging user behavior. you can make a site good or bad for discovering great links, and bluesky and twitter chose different paths!
ok, i'll bite... what's a "car"
object-oriented alcoholic
ugh worst case scenario, I apologize, I just love idioms
i wish there was a way to reply quieter when i'm replying with annoying stuff, but it was originally kinda the opposite. as in: the world is to you a (closed) oyster, but you are possessed of the tools to open it and succeed anyway. it's shakespeare!
sandwich guy got charged with one count of monte cristo
tap this post for a proper giggle
it was in that run! 2021-10-16, which I only know because I happen to have this photo from that date
me too and it is one of my favorite parts of riding commuter rail!! especially on weekend evenings 🥲 one of the best-ever instances was when i was taking the train in from NJ on (what i learned was) the night of a harry styles show at MSG and people were DONE UP
personally i would call his act of subversive sub-chucking a hero-ic sacrifice
comedy is illegal
she loves leaving little easter eggs like these for her fans to try to figure out
this is nit-picky but it looks like the font on that page maybe doesn't have an em-dash glyph? at least that's how it's rendering for me on a couple of browsers
damn that's cool, charlie!
if samuel alito only gets a book deal by distinguishing himself with great writing and clear thinking, he doesn't get a book deal
i agree with this, and i think an additional way you solve it is to dilute the celebrity of supreme court justices by making 50 of them
brooklyn, manhattan, the bronx, queens, and atlantic city, baby!
wouldn't mind a year of rest and relaxation
well if i've been reading bluesky correctly all day, you folks are going to LOVE to hear about how hard it's raining in nyc right now!

very interesting
Astral (the VC-backed company behind the popular open source Python tools uv, ruff and ty) have unveiled the first hints at their business model today - pyx, a private package registry for companies that use Python My notes here: simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/13/...
this was a great episode that gets into more nuances than i've seen before

pretty cool, you guys hear about these?
this compound in NW Arizona sits at the center of the willin' trapezium, and i am increasingly confident lowell george has given me instructions
there's a moderately popular pop country song right now called "sally, when the wine runs out" and i feel sad that its audience of fans likely does not appreciate how darmok-coded that title is
this is the area i call "the willin' trapezium," as described by the narrator of "willlin'." endpoints in tuscon, tucumcari, tehachapi, and tonapah
all this talk about new york has me thinking about those concrete blobs that function as ramps outside bodegas. you ever see those?
the things that make a person choose to live in a place are interesting, and I want to hear about them. a thing that is special (if not unique) about nyc is that so many of us chose to live here
oh fun! are we doing stairs and sandwiches in chicago? or just trying to undermine people enjoying themselves?
hey that's life in the big city!!!
best city in the world, baby! where else can you find something like this?
please sound off with s̶o̶n̶g̶s̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶f̶o̶o̶d̶ pictures of sandwiches and staircases (nyc), I was expecting the quotes to be full of them and they're not and i'd love to see
I think I had more staircase shots to pick from than sandwiches, which feels like a self-own
yes, this is me. love nyc!
it just feels like he thinks he can just pretend there's smoke until there's fire, which... is not a great place to be!
love new york city but in most of the country they wouldn't miss the chance to lead with the local angle (his brother antoine suited up for 150 games as a brooklyn cyclone)
"network" has a great recurring bit in this vein. "the big lebowski" is basically entirely this. "tommy boy" does it in a pretty heartwarming way
a great bit in a movie is when you see somebody repeat the same joke or story to different audiences. love that
I am and it is going to ruin me. my magazine guy sucks
The unused wheel is why a car with an externally-mounted spare is an affront to urban sensibilities.
a person riding a dirtbike with one wheel on the ground indicates crime and disorder. but the same person can ride a unicycle with none of the same implications. so the crime must reside in something other than the single point of wheel contact
I will tell you, for some reason I love Contact and nobody understands
I did not know this about you 🫡
hell, they should accept isbns and do the math for you!
