Okay who hasn't been tempted like this at least once...

Tweet from @ItsBeardoWeirdo: One time I almost got fired because a district manager asked me how long it would take to fix someone's inventory fuckup and I said "an hour and a half" and they went "how long would it take with my help?" And I said "3 hours"

The potential saboteur should discover what types of faults are normally found in their kind of work and should then devise their sabotage so as to enlarge that 'margin for error.'

The entire modern internet has been built on platforms that don’t believe in asking for consent. What if we started demanding a culture of consent online? https://www.anildash.com//2025/05/27/2025-05-27-internet-of-consent/

Good. If you don't make it hard to be a fascist, the fascists will make it hard for you to exist at all.

Fascists depend on appealing to your sense of decorum. Show them none.

BREAKING: A post on Harvard’s Sidechat app; where users must verify with a .edu email, is going viral after calling to blacklist Trump supporters on campus.

“Don’t let them into clubs. Don’t be friends with them. Don’t date them. Bring back real social consequences for politically affiliating with a fascist.”

It’s anonymous, but it reflects a growing student backlash, not just to Trump’s policies, but to the idea that fascism can wear a suit and still get a seat at the table.

The culture war just met the campus wall. And students are done playing nice.

Two different approaches to debugging a software problem:

The Sudoku approach: stare at the limited set of clues you have, and think harder and harder about them until you find a way to deduce something useful.

The Minesweeper approach: don't even try to figure out the solution from only the clues you have right now. Instead, focus on finding a way to acquire another clue, and then using that to get another, and so on. Eventually you've collected so many clues that the answer is obvious.

Sometimes the Sudoku approach is necessary, because you've got all the clues you're ever going to get. But I think my new motto is "Never Sudoku a problem when you can Minesweeper it."

In case you're deciding whether or not to wear a respirator when you go out:
Consider that the recent #Covid variant NB.1.8.1 which is dominant in much of Asia, and rising globally as we move into the early stages of this summer's surge, features a symptom referred to as "razor blade throat."

I had to do this because reasons. Hope the people I did it for got the message.

Fake O'Reilly animal book cover meme. Featuring an ocean sunfish the book title reads: Vibe Coding for Missile Guidance Systems. the top blurb reads: Critical subsystems detailed by AI. And the bottom blurb reads: No hallucinations guaranteed.

Dear developers, stop fucking around with the icon for your app. This is like me coming into your home, and moving all the labels on all the switches on your appliances. Don't do it. You're just pissing people off.

ネコ飛出し注意 (neko tobidashi chūi) Means “watch for cats darting out” and we need more signs like this.

A reasonable amount of humor in the presentation of suggestions for simple sabotage will relax tensions of fear.
