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!

I really hope there’s a big deep dive documentary into the Prairieland trials. Aside from the person with the gun, it seems like everyone else was just there protesting and these sentences were insane. The injustice needs to be exposed or it will be common place for any protester to get pulled into criminal charges when one protester does a bad thing.

While his framing is a bit cynical, I share similar irritation to Ed Zitron on AI companies pushing loops.

Loops where Claude or OpenClaw keep trying to solve a task until successful are essentially a token burning workaround to deal with the fact they don't get the answer correctly on first try.

As a software person, my inclination would be to fix the product and not have customers run infinite retries until the tool gives the right output where each retry costs money.

In other news: 15% of Australian teens are liars.

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 😅

Maybe you don't care about private communications, but there are lives that currently depend on my being able to use Signal. And I mean that literally.
