Loved Aeron
When I used to sit all the time I was a huge fan of Aeron chairs. I love the absence of a cushion because it feels, and probably is, so much more hygienic.

- I believe that communicating effectively to AI is the most important skill, in all fields, going forward. Good news for literate and communicative folks: you've already got it. 13 Oct 2026
- Jacob is right, and history shows that tools making production easier never hurts the manufacturer. People still sell art, despite the fact you can buy paint and "do it yourself." People value authentic, complete products, and will continue to buy them from us. 13 Oct 2026
- Ugh. I stopped playing for unrelated reasons, but I had a few bug reports with them before. I have a contact and I'm gonna let them know! 25 Sept 2026

- When an AI says "Honest answer:" it means "I fucked up." 19 Sept 2026
- App developers can't be replaced by AI. Apps are expressions of human priorities. Like movies, essays, and paintings. And smiles, and hugs, and kisses. The ability of an AI to effectively replace ONE app says nothing about its ability to replace ALL apps. Humanity rules. 19 Sept 2026
- When I'm 96, I hope I'm still in good enough shape to retire. 18 Sept 2026 npr.org
- If you haven't found a way to be optimistic about AI, I don't think you're trying. 13 Sept 2026
- Oh hey everybody, I just remembered I keep receipts on the worst people who ever interact with me. Please don't forget that Vandad Nahavandipoor (@VandadNP) is a guy who thought it was OK to assure me that I would suck Trump's dick. 7 Sept 2026
- After all the years of public embarrassment, I think my kids might finally appreciate, in a world filled with AI, that I simply cannot be replicated. 20 Aug 2026
- If I ever get this $1000 back from @Hyatt or @bookingcom it won't be the hardest $1000 I ever earned (back), but it will feel like it. 16 Jun 2026
- Amazing, after a year, @HyattConcierge still has $1000+ of my money that I spent on a hotel room I never stayed at, that @bookingcom ASSURED me was canceled with no fee. These companies trading blame while meanwhile I'm still out $1000 for trusting either of them. 16 Jun 2026
- Once you know enough that anybody else might call you an expert, you would never consider yourself one. 15 Jun 2026
- I'm backing Obama for national parent. 4 Apr 2026
- Just about every >150 IQ person I know made up their IQ score. Making up your IQ score is underrated and misunderstood. 23 Mar 2026
- Signed, the guy who personally donated $1M to Donald Trump. Eid Mubarak. 20 Mar 2026
- One of the paid @Google results for "claude code" right now is a nefarious @squarespace site pretending to be the host of Claude Code installer commands. @claudeai 18 Mar 2026
- Just posted @marsedit 5.4 with native macOS Versions support, Share Extension improvements, and a bunch of bug fixes. 18 Mar 2026 redsweater.com
- Hey friends! If you only follow me here, you're missing a lot of delightful messages I share with the world on ALMOST EVERY OTHER NETWORK. I don't like X because Elon Musk is an asshole AND behaves like a fascist. Catch up with me anywhere. Ciao! 23 Feb 2026
- So @steipete racked up such a big bill with OpenAI that he has to go work there to pay it off? :p 16 Feb 2026
- I was on The Talk Show with @gruber, and took a (micro) beating for celebrating AI. It didn't make a dent in my enthusiasm. It's here, we're going to use it, no matter what. Let's use it well. I wish I'd threaded them, but start here if interested: 7 Feb 2026 mastodon.social

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
