SBS was showing All The President’s Men last night and it all seems so quaint following the last six weeks.

This quote from Jane Fonda’s acceptance speech today is great.

Have any of you watched a documentary of the great social movements … and asked yourself, ‘Would I have been brave enough to walk across the bridge?’

We don’t have to wonder any more because we are in our documentary moment. This is it!

Heh, just noticed and fixed a 15 year old typo in some code.

I’ve successfully replaced a solenoid on the washing machine, apparently without breaking anything. I’m feeling very masc.

The WordPress test suite has included musical references for a long time (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen and Shucked). Yesterday I added Wicked. Coincidentally, they’re all from patches I’ve worked on.

Not mentioned in this article about the Pam the Bird arrests is how wildly popular the graffiti is. More of a cult hit than infamous.

How many One Last Time puns is too many for seeing the final Hamilton performance in the country?

Jason Mantzoukas on Taskmaster is so fair down my alley that I’m thinking of getting a restraining order.
