Remember, folks, if you change a URL on your website and you don't create redirect, Sir Tim Berners-Lee will break into your house at night and kill you with a ceremonial dagger fashioned in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

My DM pointed out that Shillelagh lasts for a minute which is a pretty long time in combat and also it doesn't require concentration.
Player’s Handbook: As a druid, we recommend putting your lowest ability score on Strength.
Also Player’s Handbook: Weapons? You get a quarterstaff and a sickle. Yes they both rely on Strength.
Yeah I know Shillelagh is a thing but I think it's weird that a druid has to burn a bonus action every minute to have a usable weapon attack (out of the box, anyway).
I will be resolving all merge conflicts with *take mine* because that’s the vibe 2025 is giving me.
I love when you unsubscribe from an email list and they have a thing that says if you accidentally unsubscribed, click here.
Like, yes, I accidentally scrolled to the end of your email, found the buried unsubscribe link, clicked it, clicked a check box that says yes I want to unsubscribe from all emails, submitted the form, and then realized it was all an accident.
Does anyone have a favorite command line program for quickly navigating to specific directories? I'm on a Mac so I'm looking for something I could install with Homebrew.
If you’re using an AI for coding that uses cloud models (eg, Cursor, Claude Code), what’s to stop it from reading your .env file and sending it to the LLM provider?
I really am gonna stop fiddling with Obsidian. It’s perfect now and there’s nothing left to cha—OOOH SHINYYY
There’s never been a better time to learn HTML… because I made a few minor updates to HTML for People.
Rolling your own website is hugely rewarding. It’s hard to explain but there’s a real sense of agency and control. If you feel trapped by corporate platforms, here’s your way out.
Ok I’m gonna do D&D prep and I’m not going to be nerd sniped by the first neat thing that comes across my—OMG WUUUT...
There are people in my circles who, if they change their avatar, will completely ruin my life.
I have massive respect for people who use the same avatar everywhere for eons. I'm just not one of those people. I tend to get bored with mine after a while.
I recently discovered the Cupertino theme for @obsidian and it really is *chef's kiss*. I would especially recommend it to people new to Obsidian who don't really care about loading it up with all the power features and whatnot, as it is a low effort way to make Obsidian appear much nicer (IMO)
I try not to fiddle with settings too much because if I don't watch myself, I'll fiddle for days instead of actually using the app for what it was made for.
That being said, I couldn't help but install the Style Settings plugin and tweak some of Cupertino's settings. I also set up some custom CSS and typography. I'm using Helvetica Now Text with a few stylistic sets activated. And because I am a heavy click-and-drag-the-scrollbar user (for accessibility reasons), I've given the scrollbars my go-to big chonker treatment.

Take the red pill, they said.
Lmao @mhilltopple on (American) football:
> A lot of people will defend challenges tooth-and-nail, because the instant-replay reveals so many bad calls. I say stop whining about a few bad calls. Often the challenge is over something ridiculous, like whether one molecule of the football went over the endzone. I’m sorry, but maybe you just don’t deserve that touchdown if it takes state-of-the-art, slow-motion cameras at three different angles to verify it.

My brother @mhilltopple and I made our mom a super simple grocery list app that has one and only one list. I just found out she’s also been using it as a generic to-do list.
- Bread
- Milk
- Sandwich meat
- Call the insurance company
- Cheese
I don’t know how to feel about it.
If AI summarizes website content without needing to send the user to the website, what will incentivize creating web content (other than self-satisfaction I mean)?
If your clicks look like dicks, you have a kerning problem.
I looked at my Mac’s clock and it read Jun 11 1:11:11 PM.
Remix to Ignition is stuck in my head. Send help.
I need an “Is DOGE gonna take my benefits away *this* month?” support group.
