I love you so
you show me things I want to know
you help me make my way round town
and every week I burn you down

from bed's heart I yawn at thee

starting to realize that when I run out of spoons, it's often because I am inadvertently running a fucking Spoon Library, with 80% of the stock checked out to others at any given moment... and no overdue fees.

Someone used the bug GitHub refused to fix, that allows you to add a commit to a repo you don’t control... to upload YouTube-dl to the DMCA request repo on GitHub.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people.

I saved this to my phone on the 22nd of December 2019 and it was horribly prophetic for the year to come

everyone is talking about how the "writing team" for 2020 changed dramatically & how their choice for Trump to get Covid was over the top.
so if we get to write this, here's how I'd conclude the season:
Trump deliberately got Covid as an October surprise ("breathe into my mouth!"), but it ends up killing him. That was an outcome he was okay with because he was going to go to jail if he lost the election. Pence takes over and tries to cancel the election. He fails.
I must have had some screwy dreams
