my husband and son keep shooting me with nerf guns around the house. little do they know that on my last Target run, I armed myself with my own nerf blaster. I have been practicing at 530am. my crossbody purse can hold like 100 foam darts. now I wait for the perfect moment

Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she doesn’t care about the PHP vulnerability because she moved everything to Rust in 2024. “They said the rewrite would take six months. We’re on month 30. We haven’t shipped a feature since, but I’m having a very normal Wednesday.”

what are the criteria for congressional medals? I moved a ten ft couch by myself without scratching the floor and I feel it should qualify for some kind of public recognition

something very cool is that I typed these words and then less than 24h later the giant pothole in the street behind my driveway was patched????

occupational hazard: the wifi on the plane didn't work so instead, for nine hours, I got to stare at this piece of UI I built a decade ago

the real psychological torture was not the lack of wifi but rather the subsequent hours of Twitter commenters telling me I should have gone through this error to use an Internet connection from a provider who is serving a certificate with like 5 problems on their own captive portal page

best case, this endpoint is serving the factory default certificate from pre-2019 bc its firmware has never been updated. worst case, someone five rows behind me is broadcasting this SSID from their pineapple. in either case, I can't imagine our corporate security team would be delighted by me connecting a corp device to it and working on production code

after watching the West Wing, I remember thinking I could never be press secretary. but recent events have been great for my self-confidence. I now think I could be a press secretary for at least five days

This is the real me, but the background is courtesy of Gemini 4 Argon. I showed Argon the two green-screen stills below and asked it to 1) build me a room in Blender, 2) recreate the camera angles, 3) use Nano Banana to 'skin' the Blender background to match the foreground, and 4) key it back into the original video. The result: an accurate background across both angles.
Gemini 4 Argon is now globally available. Built to solve your hardest problems from start to finish, the model brings frontier capabilities across coding, enterprise workflows, and cyber defense.

my husband uses nicknames for me so consistently that I'm beginning to wonder whether he knows my name. I double checked our wedding vows and my name wasn't in there. maybe he missed it on our first date and now after fifteen years of marriage it seems too late to ask

I found the absolute worst place, which is from the bay bridge trying to get to the airport. everyone parked on the bridge to see the air show. the best pilots I've ever seen boomed overhead every twenty seconds while I regretted not taking public transit
what is the hands-down best place in the city of San Francisco to witness the Fleet Week air show this weekend? i need answers people

if I have 9 lives I used up 2 of them last night when I got home to a dark house, flipped on the lights, walked into the kitchen, and met two human-sized ghosts my kid had assembled

I finally figured out the secret to defeating jet lag, and no one is going to like it: no alcohol, minimal caffeine, hitting the gym daily, and going to bed on time. truly awful stuff

every morning I ask Gemini what it thinks of my outfit, it tells me it is a bad outfit, and then I take none of its advice. I think I just miss my sister

I owe the British public an apology. I didn't understand why British people were being so dramatic about summer. well it's so humid here that even at 70F I haven't stopped sweating since I landed three days ago. the interior of my office building feels like the Everglades
