You can’t be in two places at the same time, and you can’t do two things at the same time. Women have had to leave the workforce because they’re also on the hook for child care. We can’t wait any longer for universal child care and early learning.

Dear Apple,

Where is my 27" iMac 5K Pro M1 Max whatever? My credit card is waiting.

This 2014 iMac struggles to do Teamflow, Slack, Gmail, and Miro at the same time.

The greatest con the American Right ever pulled off is convincing people that we have a "liberal media." Every major opinion section is stacked with Bush Republicans who are terrified of poor people. The Overton Window is covered in "no loitering" signs.

@gaywonk ("Carlos Maza") replied to a tweet by @gaywonk:

This is what happens when you stack your opinion section with rich old "liberals" and don't require evidence as part of the editorial process.

You can "prove" this NTFS is worth 5000$ because look, it's sold for that much and more, the borkchan never lies!

I lost two phones in the space of a week so I no longer have the ability to record or photograph stuff, so when I tell you I gigged with Kevin Bridges and a group of amazing comics this last weekend, you’re just gonna have to ga ahead and belive me.

Josh Hawley's doubling down on his claim men like video games and porn because their "masculinity" is under attack. So, fine, it's not going away, so here's a detailed — but not that long — rebuttal to this nonsense. https://www.salon.com/2021/11/08/sorry-josh-hawley-the-left-doesnt-hate-masculinity--misogyny-is-the-real-problem/

I wrote a big ol' post on how we adopted TypeScript at Etsy. This project was definitely my proudest professional accomplishment to date, and I'm super glad I got to document all the gritty details. (I'm also real happy with how the post itself turned out)

But for you, I'll give you a discount. You can have this mspaint squiggle for only 4000$. A bargain!

@Foone replied to a tweet by @Foone:

So after doing this for a while, you approach Mark and say "hey look, I'm making these NTFS things and I've only got one left. If you look at how much they've sold for, it's 5000-10000$, and prices are going up. You can resell them anytime to get your money back."

@Foone replied to a tweet by @Foone:

Now you go to Carol and have her buy Bob's NTFS, the one you sold him earlier. You hand Carol 10100$ to buy it, she buys it got 10000, Bob keeps the 100$ and cashes out the 9900$ for you. You just spent 200$ to prove your NTFS is work 10000$

@Foone replied to a tweet by @Foone:

You now go to Alice, and make her the same offer, but on a different NTFS in your batch. You up it to 6000$ this time. She buys it, you get the money, and all that was lost was some overhead fees and some payment to Alice to do this.

@Foone replied to a tweet by @Foone:

So Bob buys your NTFS and you get 5000$ back (minus some overhead) , which you turn back into cash, which is of course outside of the EthernetPoints ecosystem.

@Foone replied to a tweet by @Foone:

Step 2: you take out a loan and go to Bob. You say "Can you buy this NTFS for me? You don't need to pay for it, I'm gonna hand you 5100$ and you just turn it into ethernet points and buy it. It's worth 5000$ so I'll let you keep the extra 100$"
Bob, of course, agrees.

@Foone replied to a tweet by @Foone:

Step 1: you draw or have an algorithm create 100 images. You pay to have these coolminted into NTFS. They are, of course, not very valuable and you'd be unlikely to make money selling them. What a shame.

And that’s a wrap on BROS!!! It’s too soon to say much more but this was a very meaningful experience for me. So for now I just want to say THANK YOU to a crew that worked insanely hard and a warm, hilarious, historic cast that cared so much. I can’t wait for you to see it. ❤️
