R.L. Stine Wondering If He Should Also Become an Insufferable Transphobe

The Hard Times

Released in 1994 on the album with the same name, Bad Religion's Stranger Than Fiction, like most of their songs, is incredibly relevant over 20 years later.

Life is the crummiest book I ever read, there isn't a hook, just a lot of cheap shots, pictures to shock and characters an amateur would never dream up. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

@gerrymcgovern I've heard it observed that the whole point of Mary Shelley' _Frankenstein_ was to illustrate how men's reckless pursuit of technological invention can be motivated by an envy of the powers not of God, but of women, and that they clearly cannot be entrusted with those powers because they refuse to parent what they birth.

Whoop, whoop: We have a shiny new release!

The Crystal Programming Language

I built a new Ruby gem for work and released the first version today. It's a query builder for Elastic's ES|QL.

It lets you build ES|QL queries in Ruby code by chaining functions and run them with Elastic's ES|QL query API.

Un fósil de mastodonte para Mastodon.
#mastodonte #mastodon #fosiles
La América más remota vuelve a la superficie

Fue parte de la civilización Caral --la más antigua del continente-- y contemporánea de Babilonia y el Antiguo Egipto. Rompe el mito del "atraso" de los pueblos originarios.

🎶 The Hostiles - Party Cup

The Hostiles capture the upbeat energy of US west coast ska punk in the slightly less-sunny climes of west coast Scotland. Spirited and infectious, they combine distorted guitars riffs, low-slung rhythms, in-your-face vocals and a two-pronged brass backbone of trumpet and trombone. Good times guaranteed.
