I’m so sorry, Mr. Zeldman. ❤️

Just me or was Drive to Survive kind of meh?

Can we ship all these folks to Russia, please? Talk about the worst of the worst.

Oh, and add Stephen Miller to the list. He's a real creep.

I hope so.

As for being in Germany, that's the first country I want to localize Stream for. 😃

When the time comes I'll have to get you on a TestFlight for it, if you're open to that?

I'm sorry, Angelo. I've been dragging my feet on getting my EU issue straightened out.

Where are you?

What's wrong with these people? They really do believe they're the chosen ones meant to bring about Armageddon, don't they?

They're just unbelievably stupid and cruel. It wouldn't surprise me at all if someone bumps one or more of them off.

I adore Jasmine Crockett! We absolutely need more folks with her intelligence, class, and backbone serving at the highest levels of our government!

Someone must’ve mentioned Stream yesterday? 😀

I had 130 downloads, which is a good day for it!

Thank you to whoever mentioned it! 🙏🏼

Good. He's slowly rotting into a corpse. Soon he'll be zombie Trump.

We have a wintery mix of snow and sleet falling. Here's hoping it doesn't make a mess of things.

They're gonna screw this up, aren't they?

Leave the service alone unless you're gonna give us all of Paramount+ under the HBO Max umbrella for the same price.

But, no, none of that will likely happen. 🤣

Good grief.

Trump is a real asshole.

The Ingenious Design of the Aluminum Beverage Can The aluminum soda can is a humble testament to the power and scope of human ingenuity. If that sounds like hyperbole, you should watch this video, which features eleven solid minutes of engineering explanation and is not

🔥 Hot take: She's addicted to pain and surgery.

Why do I say that? It sounds to me like she's going to try to come back to skiing. I cannot fathom how much pain she's in and I'm familiar with pain.

I am very happy they were able to save her leg. That's a huge deal. ❤️

After my time at Visio/Microsoft I worked as an IT Developer for a Pistachio and Almond processing plant automating systems. We spent a lot of time migrating local Access databases to use our on prem SQL Servers. Folks made all kinds of stuff to make their jobs easier. Good stuff!

Right there with you, Thomas. I was lucky enough to be on the VB 1.0 beta and we were completely blown away by how easy it was to build and user interface with code behind it.

Later on I got to use VBA pre-1.0 as part of the Visio team. Again, blown. rob.crabapples.net/2025/09/07/m...

Mr. Hasan, why do you remain on Substack? It's known to allow Nazi content on the platform and they profit from it?

Given the shit show we have in America right now and those of us fighting against fascism I'm shocked you'd stay on the platform. Is it all about money? There are alternatives.

Make it so, Mr. Ray.

These days, I work at Bluesky, which sounds like an immediate contradiction to what I just said. I don't think what we're trying to build is different because I work here, I work here because I think what we're trying to build is different. I really believe we've got a shot at unbreaking.

I would so love it if this knucklehead fell out of his chair.
