This is the guy that gets to live to 100. The universe is a joke.

Henry Kissinger turns 100 years old tomorrow and his son reflects on the secrets of his longevity. Hint: It's not the diet heavy on bratwurst and Wiener schnitzel. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/

"I'll watch the Barbie movie," is a phrase I didn't think I'd ever utter. I mean, I'll be under some influence, don't get me wrong, but still... This has Pleasantville vibes.

An interesting effect of this grouping: The closer a block is to one another, the more direct dependencies. If I add to the virtual memory manager, it's unlikely I'll have to recompile my c library; but I would likely have to do minor code changes in my allocators and drivers.

Partner at work: You get to do that, you’re better at messaging. Me: No, I’m just good at eating sh*t lately. Partner: Isn’t that what Product Managers do? I AM DED.

So the parent who got my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb banned for elementary students
@BGEC_Bobcats
has ties to WHITE SUPREMACIST ORGS. Anyone surprised?
@MiamiDadeCounty
This is a shame for the children in your school system who deserve to have access to poetry.

This is the one parent who successfully got Amanda Gorman’s poem banned. Will the Miami-Dade school district reverse this decision now that it’s surfaced that parent as ties to a white supremacist organization? Or does the comfort of a white supremacist matter more? twitter.com/miaagainstfash…

Remember when Roman Roy offered the kid a million dollars if he hit a home run? Your “government” is a parody of a parody.

NEW: During GOP conference today, House Rs did about a 15-min fundraising auction for chapstick used by Speaker McCarthy. The winner: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), whose winning bid was $100,000, her Spox confirms to me.

We think in terms of absolutes and intractable truths so much, down to even the binary nature of logic, that we’ve lost track of the fact that our assertions were established (albeit brilliantly) based on a set of initial assumptions with uncontrolled evolution quickly following.

Plainsong in Horizon Forbidden West is some of the best overall RPG video game experience. Not only is the story great, but the music and the zone fit perfectly. Reminds me of the way I felt when I first went into Candlekeep.

I’ll humble brag and say I’m lucky to have great teams working on our stuff. Every time they prove management is pointless I smile. I never really understood that until I started to work at Blizzard. Yeah management has a job to do, but these people are the experts. I’m noise.

Feeling better from the covid. Seems like I’ve gotten over the hump faster this time? I’ve also slept more and didn’t do any works sans two can’t-reschedule meetings (almost like hell is coming in a couple weeks 😉). Probably going back Monday, at least remotely.

The weird thing about the FOOTBALL, aka Presidential Emergency Satchel, is that the weight is largely paper. A short thread.

The White House Military Office Army aide was on “Football” duty this morning for President Biden’s departure for Hiroshima. The ~45-lb. satchel accompanies Biden 24/7, enabling him to authorize the use of any of our ~1,770 deployed nuclear weapons—up to 900 on alert—at any time.
