Watched “tick, tick… BOOM!” on Netflix tonight. I enjoyed it much more than “RENT”. I relate to the struggle to do meaningful work, but the 1980s AIDS crisis just triggers me. We’re missing a generation of queer people and, sadly, also the man who tried to tell their stories.

I have not gotten any variant, but it feels like all of my friends have and are living their best lives again.

Come next week, Sverige lifts all restrictions which will turn Stockholm into one giant COVID-19 party for anyone not yet infected. So should I just accept getting it?

So if you get omicron and survive and don’t suffer long covid disabilities, does science support you just returning to “normal” life, like going to restaurants and gyms, as if the new infection rate is not still multiples above the last wave?

Except when Shanae manipukisses. Then we just glare.

The way Arthur and I watch The Bachelor|ette: cuddling on the couch, glass of wine, and kissing every time there is a kiss on screen.

Every time someone says, “Omicron is more mild,” I think of how I have more first degree friends who have lost vaccinated/boosted parents/family to this variant than any other.

I know it is anecdata, but it angers me because it’s more personal.

This past week’s discourse about that one podcaster suggests there is a market opportunity to be the Ted Lasso of podcasts.

Things got a bit heated in Web dev Twitter this week. I am grateful Apple and Google have social media policies that permit difficult discourse to take place. It helps the Web gets better.

I love Calendly and similar apps because they make it so much easier to schedule time with people, especially across many time zones. I do not understand the hate towards it yesterday on Twitter. It’s like being mad at hammer. It’s just a tool, not a power move.

Anyone want MadeInSanFrancis.co?

You just have to pay the renewal fee from the registrar.

@robey@mastodon.technology That sounds most likely.

"relentless" implies one must first be "lentless" or "lacking lent"

@robey@mastodon.technology Yes, but that was only 1 year ago.

“Ted Lasso” really is as amazing as everyone has said.

I feared it would be quite saccharin or too sports focused, but it was not.

I want more shows like this. Optimistic, but realistic. Kind, but not without adversity.

There are so many bugs in the Fitbit app that were known when I worked there 5 years ago that still aren’t fixed. I wish I knew why.

Been trying to figure out whether I made the right call on staying home from the cruise this week. Felt so hard to get quantitative estimates of risk.

Turns out Vacaya just published stats for their gay cruise last week. 1568 passengers; nearly 2000 booked. All fully vaccinated, most boosted. Several hundred tested positive on arrival. 27 tested positive onboard and were isolated for duration of voyage. 72 more identified as close contacts, and isolated for 24 hours.

Dropbox Paper forgetting the document I viewing when it forces me to SSO in again is fucking annoying.

It even does something to the browser history state so the doc's URL is replaced by the sign in page and I can't just go back.
