What a blast watching #Canada win at the #WorldCup 🍁⚽️🫡

At this point, I’ve already declared victory. We had our first tie, won our first game, had our first hat trick, got through our first group stage and now won our first knockout match. Jeeze give it a rest guys, leave something for next time!

Look I know you're all doing this kind of thing day in and day out, but I'm proud of myself: Baby's first CI pipeline!

My dummy little WordPress child theme now has PHPStan static analysis, PHPCS code sniffing, and a completely pointless but importantly ✅ set of Integration and End to End tests, all running on GitHub Actions.

Now to apply all this on a real project where I'll have one thousand more little things to solve 😅

Relatable.

Don’t miss “Caught Stealing”, Darren Aronofsky’s charming 2025 thriller film.

I hadn’t heard a single thing about it but it kept playing on silent during intercity bus trips here in Mexico and catching my attention.

I’m a long time fan of Aronofsky, and appreciate how this movie is simpler than some of his more cerebral work. Just a fun, violent story about a normal guy who gets in way over his head. Fun, sad, touching, what more could we ask for.

God the gringo uniforms are ugly! What were they thinking?!?

Is it supposed to be camouflage? Go zebra mode so the opponents can’t tell you apart?

(OMG someone just called it the “where’s Waldo” jersey 🤣)

#WorldCup

Congrats team #Canada on our first point in the #WorldCup!

Not our first goal, we had that last time, and not our first win, we’re still not winners, but we have a non-loss!

Looks like you're trying to create a dragula!

(I did this search looking for some song lyrics, who wants a heartfelt poem?)

Turns out this is a "Cactus wren" because some birds are named just right 🌵🐦👌🏻
