  1. my eyes also just kind of slide off of paragraph length posts on this website as I scroll through it but I’ll keep posting that shit anyway I guess

  2. thanks to discord’s hokey use of a command for command-K, officially “Find or Start a Direct Message" per their docs, I am always constantly narrowly avoiding direct messaging someone I do not know who has the last name of Jerke who I assume also idles in an open source community server I idle in, when I try to switch to the chat I made for talking about anything but games on my friend’s gaming-oriented community server which they immediately renamed and locked to #jerk_factory for me

  3. 18th book of 2024: “Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore”, by Robin Sloan ( https://www.robinsloan.com/books/penumbra/).

    Fun, light, very quick read. Very weird to read something so connected to ~2012-techie-San-Francisco (I was here by then) and get 100% of the references (and roll my eyes at a few w/ 12 years of hindsight).

    The paperback cover “Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore”, by Robin Sloan, as I read it. Nine rows of yellow blocks stamped alternating between four or five stacked on their back and four or five upright like books on a shelf but leaning left or right at random. The title and “A Novel” and author name are in hand written script over the entire front.
