I received an email from John Graham-Cumming telling me my code was in the original Terminator movie. And it's true! Here's the still from the movie:

Hey @hubertlepicki — your town is a Jeopardy clue.

NYU students whine about being 'misunderstood' after school chose commencement speaker who calls their generation coddled trib.al/miHvQfh

Sorry @Acronis -- I've switched to Macrium. Nothing personal--it's just that you don't support Windows 11 on Arm.

We’ve adopted our first PET .. 2001 .. Commodore. Wasn’t this inspired by the set of STAR TREK TOS? Word on the street is if the SPACE and R E T U R N keys are not worn it wasn’t used much, but the dymo and paper labels are curious. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing

@Zeev81309558 Don't forget the fake hospital bombing story with the fake photo! theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I still can't believe it. Two NYT guys: 🔹‘Starvation’ photographer (cerebral palsy kid) wins Pulitzer. 🔹Nick Kristof, the ‘raping dogs’ guy, already has two. I wonder what wild hoax will get the third Pulitzer...

@JeremySCook I think you’re hotter than Claviclular, so yeah.

Does getting my hair cut semi-regularly count as looksmaxxing?

We are starting to be concerned about the accuracy of @nytimes's reporting lately.

We made a fake repo with fake bounties, and the bots are applying fake PRs, so we know who is fake, and we can ban them from the Coolify repo. IQ over 1000

@jacobkornbluh This will be a tough call! Should I go to this event, or my local Chabad Shavuos service? 🤣

🚨NYC Mayor Mamdani is hosting the annual Jewish American Heritage Month reception at Gracie Mansion next week marked as a celebration of the Shavuot holiday, according to this invitation sent out. Cheesecake and blintzes, maybe?

@nicolelampert Then why didn’t you cancel when they printed that fake “Hospital Bombed, Killing 500” story?

I believe in journalism but I will not pay for a newspaper which dresses up abhorrent lies as facts.

They're talking about my code on reddit! reddit.com/r/mainframe/co…

@WSJ First they were banned from #Linux, and now Shopping Malls! What's next for teens?

Mall owners are reacting to a wave of recent disruptions to their properties by taking an extreme measure: They are banning all shoppers under 18 who aren’t accompanied by an adult. Read more: 🔗 on.wsj.com/4dr42fz

I'm impressed that Microsoft has fixed a lot of things in this slip-stream update of Windows 11. Default settings are a lot more sensible: OneDrive by default doesn't try to sync your desktop across all your machines. (Who would want the stuff on their personal laptop desktop to be on their work desktop when you're giving a presentation?)

After getting UNIX running on my tiny PDP-11, I decided to make it even smaller, this time on a watch. It's fully emulating a DEC PDP-11/73 with DEUNA ethernet, RA92 disc packs, and basically everything else that used to fill a data center!

Not seen one of these cards for a very long time!

@nxthompson How can anyone trust anybody with a Princeton diploma?

Since 1893, Princeton professors have left the room when students take their final exams. The idea was that if you treat students honorably, they would behave honorably. In response to AI-fueled academic dishonesty, the university just ended that system. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/…

UPDATE: After 3.5 hrs, SF got angry, added a firewall, and killed my scraper and site lol

I'm wired to look, so for the curious, the clearest values visible are Treasury bill yields and pricing data, including: 3-month bill: around 7.17% (another value nearby looks like 7.26%) 6-month bill: around 7.28% / 7.66% 1-year bill: around 7.38% / 7.93% This looks to be about 1982. Bloomberg terminals were more focused on fixed income stuff at the time. They were created by by Michael Bloomberg after he left Salomon Brothers in 1981.
