i beat Adventures of Elliot last night and absolutely loved it. i went in pretty blind so, while i knew it played similarly to the older Zelda games, i didn’t realize it centered around time travel. i thought the story was well told and really enjoyed the characters. hope really is always there.

one of my favorite macOS bugs is Weather.app’s menu bar item forgetting where i am. the only way to fix it is the IT help desk special (turning its location permissions off and on again). it’s only been a bug for a few years tho so no big deal i guess

kinda wild that PagerDuty went with iCalendar syntax for managing v3 on-call schedules via their developer APIs. iCalendar, a famously cool and good format that everybody loves because of how easy it is to work with

Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship

The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship – the guarantee of citizenship to virtually everyone born in the United States. In a decision by Chief Justice John Roberts, in Trump v. Barbara, the justices agreed with the challengers, as well as all of the lower courts around the country that have considered the issue, that Trump’s order cannot be reconciled with the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which confers citizenship on anyone “born … in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

just finished reading “This Is How You Lose the Time War” and loved it. it took me a bit to force myself to be okay with not understanding the specifics of the world building and focusing on the specifics of the character drama, but i’m glad i did. what a good romance.

does anyone else remember when websites looked different from each other? that’s one of the things i miss most about the pre-AI era, tho i guess it had already started getting worse in the mid-to-late 2010s SaaS boom

why does bluefin tuna seem to neutralize wasabi? with most fish, a little will go a long way and too much will overpower it. but with bluefin tuna, whether its akami or otoro, i find i can add a small mound of fresh wasabi and it never gets too hot. it just adds that pleasant earthiness.
