1. MILLION. WHISTLES.
Given freely, shipped to anyone who wants them, to keep their neighbors safe from being disappeared w/o witnesses.
whistlegoblins.fun has the email to ask the whistle goblins to send you whistles for your community. We have stockpiles ready.
So the women’s hockey team got fresh pasta at a swanky restaurant in Milan with Stanley Tucci and the men’s team got cold McDonalds in a room blaring Toby Keith where the President didn’t even eat with them. Y’all idk if you’ve noticed but the patriarchy sucks FOR YOU.
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
AI is useful, but 40% more output per engineer at a mature company is using it as a firehose of tech debt.
Giving engineers small doses of meth would have a similar short-term effect and long-term outcome.
I need a conveniently-local del taco.

The EMP persists! 🟦
I think we need to bring back heckling facists
saw the @1password.bsky.social price increase email. Totally fine with it. Worth every penny, still.
THIS WAY LIES DANGER.
I told myself the same thing.
Hell yeah!
Yesterday with your help, we paid the rent for five Minneapolis immigrant families in need. Rent’s coming up, donations are down, and there’s still so much need here. Let’s help as many as we can today!

I am CACKLING at this last line.
Deity-tier roast
Just got an urgent request for 3,000 in a large city, and found a whistle printer in that city with 3,000 on hand who can not just coordinate a hand-off, but forge a new connection with someone active in their community.
but sure tell me more about injection moulding, internet men. lolol
sometimes it's finding the person who has all the filament to print a few hundred trans themed whistles, sometimes it's finding the person who is really good at making a phone number legible on whistles for an org that needs them.
there are so many things we're doing that mass production can't.
I know nothing about figure skating, but your posting about it has brought me a whole lotta joy about it this olympics. 💖
as @ghuntley.com says, taste is something that language models do not inherently have.
"fix the bug" -> proliferation of dependencies and injects everywhere
vs
"fix the bug via refactoring the code this way to eliminate the dependency" -> clean build
teaching juniors taste is gonna be hard :/

One of my websites is crumbling under a flood of traffic from thousands of different IP addresses this evening. They retrieve only HTML (no images, JS, CSS, etc.), and they claim to be all kinds of different user agents. CloudFlare can't really help here. I guarantee this is some AI-training thing.
dear netherlands goverment:
I am a reverse engineer with many years touching horrible US government software. please hire me to run Doom on your fighter jets
When everyone talked about quitting tech and becoming farmers that was not what we meant
Howdy y'all! I'm printing whistles to ship all over the US completely for free, but I'm running low on filament. If you feel compelled, you can buy filament for me here: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
Need whistles? Request 100-3000 here, completely for free: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles
Lemme tell you a quick whistle goblin story. @mostlybree.kitrocha.com just popped into the chat to be like Uhhhhhh we just got a request for 10,000 whistles and then, *within one minute* it had been claimed and split between four people who already had thousands stockpiled. This crew is amazing.
With your help, we have shipped 494,825 whistles in February ALONE (more than 800,000 total). That's a lot of whistles, but it also represents more than 1000 kg of filament--a literal ton.
We would not be able to what we have without your help!
Thank you all SO MUCH.
That’s $1.5 *million* in matching funds. Let’s go!
that’s the sound of a seal breaking
