protip: ALWAYS use regular expression literals in JavaScript and TypeScript and any other language that supports it, instead of writing your regex out in a string. I cannot count how many critical security bugs I have found over the years from someone writing a regex like "^en\.wikipedia\.org$", which is incorrect because the \. is treated as *string* escape sequence (an invalid one that just produces .) which then results in the regex being "^en.wikipedia.org$" which matches "enowikipedia.org".

Six y/o daughter fell and needed to get stitches. To distract her from the pain I showed her a summary of research on how swearing helps you endure pain. She went back to school the next days and called her teacher a cunt. Cue awkward telephone conversation.

Almost 200,000 New Zealanders are now living with long COVID – where is the government plan?

The prevalence of long COVID is more than a hundred times greater than the definition of a rare disease – yet there are no specific health services or support.

open source software developers are getting fed up and are finally recognizing that they can just fucking leave.

the owner of nvim-treesitter gets a really shitty comment from a user saying that the update to a required version broke their workflow
the owner replies saying "hey just pin what you need instead of mainlining it if you need this for an older version"
the shitty user replies back saying "go switch to something that doesn't require interacting with people"
the owner says "OK." and ARCHIVES THE REPO

Tasty ferret cookie,
turns you into a ferret,
cute ears, long and slinky,
fur sprouting and
tail slipping out,
little legs and paws,
snoot, whiskers,
dook dook!

More cookies?
Oh, I made plenty,
I'll come join you soon~
