Others point to paying for text expanders, but a simple free one is Espanso.
I use it in combination with nvim and bash scripts to set up large HTML templates and latex math formulas as well as much else to save on repetitive typing.
Getting creative with espanso and nvim can be quite satisfying, especially if you code.
Vimium, Neovim, Tiling Window Manager, Ortholinear Keyboard, Text Expander. Just do these.
Good luck with South Park and painting Matt Stone as Anti-Semitic. Fucking pieces of shit.
Rest in fucking piss.

Specifically it looks like its The Butterfly Effect with Jon Ronson, an audio book series.
It’s available on audible it looks like.
Again, thanks!
Super interesting. If you can find that episode, I’d love to give it a listen.
Way too many. Pretty much all Adult Animation, with a few exceptions which I’ll note.
Bojack Horseman
The best description I have for Bojack Horseman is it’s a dark comedy/drama about generational trauma, depression, wrestling with one’s own demons, owning up to your mistakes, redemption, and so much more, all wrapped up in a strange colorful world that’s full of commentary, an absurd amount of witty puns, and so much more. One of my favorites of all time.
Long Story Short
Long Story Short is from the same writer as Bojack Horseman, but was released very recently. I just got done watching it. I would describe it as a montage of coming of age stories around 3 siblings. The format jumps around from different years within their lives as it depicts an American Jewish Family navigating their interpersonal relationships, explore their Jewish heritage, and grow as a family. It’s a well done comedy with some heavy drama thrown in. Well done in my opinion and worth the watch.
Hazbin Hotel
Hazbin Hotel is a Musical Comedy/Drama that takes place in an exaggerated version of Hell. Taking place in the creator’s own “Helliverse”, Hazbin Hotel stars the daughter of Lucifer Morningstar, Charlie Morningstar, who founds a Hotel with the hope that they can redeem sinners so that they might enter into Heaven. It’s a charming show with some pretty well done music, sometimes very well done animation, and an entertaining cast of characters.
Helluva Boss
Same creator, same universe as Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss stars Blitz (the “o” is silent), an Imp in Hell who founds a company IMP, which provides the service of Assassination for any in Hell who have a grievance with someone still among the living. Helluva Boss is also a musical, though admittedly has far fewer musical numbers. It is also a comedy (some of the comedy is very very raunchy), and also a drama. This one you can watch for free on youtube.
Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty is probably familiar to most at this point. Rick and Morty stars the titular Rick Sanchez and his grandson, Morty. They go on wacky sci fi adventures with some overarching drama along the way. The show is definitely a dark comedy that occasionally delves into some deep existential nihilistic moments. If you haven’t watched this on yet, get on it. It’s a solid win.
Solar Opposites
Solar Opposites stars Korvo and his family of Alien Invaders from the recently destroyed planet Schlorp. They come to Earth with their “baby” Pupa, which will eventually evolve to consume the planet and provide resources to create another planet Schlorp. The show has it’s dramatic moments here and there, but is generally a comedy. If you enjoyed Rick and Morty, it’s likely you’ll enjoy the style of humor this show has to offer. Make no mistake though, Solar Opposites is distinctively it’s own show and even has some great side stories around miniaturized humans and some intergalactic policemen.
Inside Job
Inside Job sadly only lasted two seasons. It was a comedy about Reagan Ridley, a technologist/scientist that works for The Deep State, covering up and interacting with the various classic conspiracies we’ve come to know through popular media (think the Lizard People, Illuminati, etc.). There was of course a bit a drama thrown in as well. Overall a great comedy.
Steven Universe
Steven Universe was a great show that is one of the few on this list that I wouldn’t classify as Adult Animation, but perhaps Young Adult appropriate. Steven is a young boy living on an Island with his Three Aunt Characters. As the story progresses, Steven comes to realize that he is an alien/human hybrid and his Aunts are magical space creatures called “Gems”. Together they fight monsters that come to threaten their planet, and Steven eventually comes to empathize with even his greatest foes. The show is about growing up, gender identity, empathy, and familial love. It’s a real tear jerker at times, but it also has a lot of laughs and a lot of sweet moments.
Infinity Train
Infinity Train deserved more seasons (it got 4 though, pretty good run). Each season is it’s own stand alone story, but the common theme is the characters explore worlds within each cart of a moving Train. The Train is a sort of magical entity that holds entire fantasy worlds inside each cart. The characters are usually trying to address some kind of interpersonal trauma they have experienced. While humorous at times, the show is closer to a dramatic epic and you can tell the creator had a unique vision for this fantastical world. I’d say this one is probably teen friendly, but not entirely for kids.
Scavenger’s Reign
Scavenger’s Reign is a science fiction story about a group of humans who become stranded on an Alien Planet and struggle to understand it’s sometimes beautiful, sometimes terrifying, sometimes bizarre, and usually dangerous ecosystem. The art style in particular is worth mentioning as it is quite beautiful and is obviously inspired in part by famed French Graphic Novel Illustrator, Mœbius. Just for the visuals alone, Scavenger’s Reign is worth a watch, but the story is also very intriguing as the alien world is unlike anything you’ve likely seen in media.
Pantheon
Pantheon was a great show that covered a lot of ground for having been only two seasons. It stars two main characters, Maddie and Caspian, who navigate a world where death is overcome through uploading of the consciousness into a digital world. Obviously inspired by various futurism thinkers as well as various other anime tropes, Pantheon starts off with a very basic premise and draws it out unto an unexpected by very satisfying conclusion. It explores the nature of consciousness, identity, immortality, and freedom. This one I highly recommend, the ending goes really really hard.
Chicken Soup from scratch imho.
First make stock. Roasted chicken bones and spine are thrown in with a pound of chicken feet (adds collagen, stock is richer tasting). Carrot tops, parsley, bay leaf, and a tablespoon of vinegar thrown in. As much water is added as needed to submerge chicken, make absolutely sure not to overfill pressure cooker/pot. Stock is made in pressure cooker (fast) or large pot (slow), then strained.
Then soup. Add whole deboned chicken (previously roasted tastes better), carrots, Yukon potatoes (I like purple ones for cyanocobalamin), garlic, onions, thyme, sage, rosemary, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Optional to add a freshly beaten egg per serving (just pour slowly into soup to prevent clumping). Simmer for a few hours or just pressure cooked again.
Serve over quinoa with freshly chopped cilantro and green onions on top. Add more salt/pepper to taste.
Apparently people with the power to convince idiots they’re doing the right thing about it.

Billionaires care about that number because it equates to power and influence. This is a great example of that. The Trump Administration is effectively trying to bribe the military/ICE by keeping them paid during this shutdown while he waits for Democrats to cave when medical insurance premiums skyrocket and SNAP runs out and people start to starve. This leaves the population vulnerable for when Trump inevitably orders a purge of the American people.
The big question in the room is will the military and ICE be willing to take on the entire US population? I already know ICE is willing to shoot their own mothers in the face for a paycheck (or even for free cuz some of them be that sick), but the military has too many people who will simply break rank with Trump cuz they take their oath to the Constitution seriously.
It’s sad that it comes down to the consciences of soldiers as to whether America gets to rebuild Democracy or not, but that’s where we are.
Start making a list of Billionaires, MAGA asshats, and Right Wing Grifters though. Cuz the one thing I can tell you is that Americans are going to want a very different flavor of justice should we reinstitute Democratic Norms in this country, and we shouldn’t forget who to eat first.
Even though its just a toolset, its a good one. I wasn’t aware of Promise.allSettled. Nice post.
Oh hey Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson have joined the chat!
Copilot, Github, LinkedIn, ChatGPT are the ones that come to mind. All of them have started to degrade in quality in one way or another, and with the exception of LinkedIn, they all have competitors that could potentially, over the long haul, could dismantle Microsoft. They’re also running out of places to extend and extinguish.
It probably won’t happen in one or two lifetimes, but enough cracks in a dam accumulate and eventually the whole thing breaks.
Oh really, how bummed would they be?
Yeah, it’s just that the output is anywhere you can type, not just the terminal or a clipboard.
