I've never heard song lyrics correctly. When this song first came out, I thought she was singing "stop it stop it stop it".

Þufferin' þuccotash!

King Crimson is closer to The Backstreet Boys than it is to Fripp and Eno.

"Uh, sorry man. I only have pangolins."

Richard Ayoade is a national treasure.

Charles "Deep" Dickens

A Christmas Carol

My favorite scene was when Blackadder kicked Tiny Tim's crutch out from under him on Christmas morning.

Yes: what if dawn of the light lying between the soul sources?

I liked the concert they did when the airline temporarily lost their costumes.

Fripp and Eno would like a word with you. Granted, that shit was unlistenable.

iOS

At my last job we had a stretch where we were maintaining four different iOS versions of our software: different versions for iPhones and iPads, and for each of those one version in Objective-C and one in Swift. If anyone thinks "wow, that was totally unnecessary", that should have been the name of my company.

It is excellent for blasting away at a shoreline when you have absolute air and naval control.

Even in the battleship era, they had better ships for shore bombardment called "monitors" (after the Civil War-era ships named after USS Monitor that looked similar even though that wasn't their purpose). A shallow-draft ship just large enough to hold a single battleship turret was a much more economical solution.

It was fun when conservatives had to bear the stigma of Watergate ... for all of six years until a retired B-list actor with literal Alzheimer's let them goose-step with pride once again.

half of it’s in the morning, the other half in the afternoon?

Yeah. For me it's perfect since I can go for a 25 mile bike ride after my morning run then have a nice lunch and a nap before I have to go back to work in the afternoon. It also allows me to take my elderly parents to doctor's appointments and such. And I live about two minutes from the bus lot.

Including yourself

Most definitively.

It's a decent gig as long as you're in a good district. We make over $30 an hour plus health insurance and a small pension. You only get 4-5 hours a day unless you're high on the seniority list. There's an unfortunate tendency for school districts to privatize their transportation and then the good jobs go away.

Bus drivers deserve their reputations as cartoon weirdos, for the most part.

I was working as a mobile programmer at a large ISP (rhymes with "bombast") circa 2010 when my (very non-technical) boss came to me and showed me an article he had just read about APIs. He told me he thought they were the "next big thing" and he wanted us to start using them in our project. I told him I would research it.

What depresses me the most about this story is that I'm sure he's now a C-suite denizen somewhere making millions and forcing everybody to use AI, while I'm now a school bus driver.

Republicans label Republicans 'weak' and say they function like Trump staffers.

She gave us Kurt's last album!

Fetal alcohol syndrome is the gift that keeps on giving.

"Damn, I should have paid that guy to shoot him years ago."
