  Saw #WeirdAl tonight and it was a helluva show! Best of all, I got to share the experience with my dad (who got me into Al) and my daughter (who I turned onto Al), so it was a multi-generational affair 😁

  Ooh, it looks like there's even an official #VivaLaDirtLeague flat clicker. Maybe that's the way to go (though I don't really need a flat clicker this big) https://vivaplus.tv/products/vldl-flat-clicker-blue

  I like traveling with a #guitar. Even if it's unamplified and just for strumming in the room, it lets me pretend like I'm on tour.

  Definitely don't hit the new Meta data center on being built on 25 and 582 just north of Bowling Green, Ohio! https://nerdculture.de/@fzer0/117004011410638187

  Hey, you! Do you have a legacy #PHP application that needs some much-needed #modernization? Upgrading to PHP 8, wrangling dependencies, building out a solid test suite + CI pipeline, etc.? I'm available for short- and long-term contracts starting as soon as August! https://stevegrunwell.com/consulting #GetFediHired #AvailableForWork #Consulting

  Me: You don't get your produce from #TaylorFarms, do you? Sassy Bar Owner: Of course, boo! How do you think I got so skinny? I'm choosing to trust that he was being sarcastic🤞

  I parked a few spots down from a #Cybertruck last night, and they're just as stupid looking up-close as they do on the internet. 🤮 #IncelCamino #Deplorean #Swasticar

  @ross@crikey.social It's also a bummer because he and his wife (Nataly Dawn) make up Pomplamoose *and* he's one of the band leaders for Scary Pockets. I used to really enjoy watching their live studio recordings on YouTube :/

  RE: https://phpc.social/@awoodsnet/116976981979051244 This is a bummer, I used to speak at #WordCamp events all the time. Is it that they just didn't recover from COVID, the organizers got burned out, or something else?

  Help, I'm nearly 40 and just booked my first-ever professional massage. Who am I?

  It's been about a month and a half since the layoffs, so it's probably time to start trying to #GetFediHired (ideally in a #consulting capacity): I'm a staff-level software engineer with ~18 years of experience working with teams of all sizes. #PHP is my go-to, but I'm comfortable across the typical web stacks (and a quick learner). My specialty is automated testing & code quality, and I've given > 100 talks since 2014. I'm anti-AI, but good at setting up guardr...

  I understand that I'm an outlier when it comes to password hygiene (I'm *meticulous* with 1Password), but it's for that reason that I get irrationally-upset any time a service switches to "magic links" instead of logging in with a password. This goes double for "gee whiz, it looks like you haven't updated your password in the last year"—no shit, my password's like 32 characters and has never been used anywhere else by me! 🙄

  On this #StarWarsDay, it's important to remember that the Galactic Empire was a stand-in for the imperialistic tendencies of the United States, especially in the wake of Vietnam. Fight the empire, friends. #MayThe4th

  I'm 20-odd years late to the party, but I've been enjoying #Deadwood over the last couple weeks (currently mid-season 3). Without spoilers, it's also a great parallel to so much happening today: back room dealings, political backstabbing, and capital greed standing in the way of progress.

  A modest proposal: we hand over Trump, Hegseth, et al to Iran. They can do whatever they want with the bastards, up to and including public executions (though I'd suggest Iran try them all in an international court for war crimes and crimes against humanity). End the unjust war and Trump's tyranny in one fell swoop.

  Regular reminder: if your site or app doesn’t work in Firefox, it’s broken. I lived through the “this site requires and/or is best in IE” era, and I’d rather burn it all down than return to that. Pro-tip: Firefox does most things better anyway. Give it a spin and enjoy a less-tracked web.

  RE: https://triangletoot.party/@Wizkid_alex/116228713035367449 I just downloaded the app, and I can see this being very useful! Even better that the developer is someone I already follow on Fedi 🙂

  RE: https://indieweb.social/@phillycodehound/116222395181605186 I've been away from the #WordPress ecosystem long enough that I sometimes forget about #WPDrama, and things are better for it. I mean, they suck in different ways, but at least it's not the same bullshit every week.

  @saramg@fosstodon.org I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this, and hope that things improve for you on the other side of it all. 🫂
