subjectively good: i like it but you probably won't
objectively good: a ratings aggregator website says it's an 8/10
bijectively good: high aggregator score but i didn't like it
dejectively good: i'm disappointed that i like it because it has a LOT of flaws that would normally ruin something for me and i feel conflicted about recommending it when i hate most similar media
rejectively good: it's so polished and seamless to the point that i just can't enjoy it because it feels soulless. see also: qualityslop
adjectively good: "it's really good if you're into [ADJECTIVE] movies and you're okay with [ADJECTIVE] stuff and [ADJECTIVE] or [ADJECTIVE] scenes and also the director is kinda [ADJECTIVE] about [CLASS OF PERSON] and..."
projectively good: "the first few (episodes/levels/chapters/hours/installments/volumes) are pretty bad but after that it slaps"
superprojectively good: "everything they've released so far has been pretty disappointing but there are some solid ideas in there and the future (episodes/levels/etc) will probably be awesome"
hyperprojectively good: "okay it's finished and the whole thing sucks, but the fanfiction it inspired is so good"

After months of struggling with the “zombie post” issue on Hackers' Pub—where deleted posts wouldn't disappear from remote servers—I had a sudden hypothesis today. As I dug into it, I realized it's a structural issue with Fedify's MessageQueue system: Create(Note) and Delete(Note) activities can be delivered out of order, causing remote instances to receive Delete(Note) before Create(Note).

The fix will likely require API changes, so this will probably need to wait for 2.0.0.

Alex Pretti speaking in honor of Terrance Lee Randolph, a veteran who passed away at his ICU unit in the VA hospital

“Today we remember that freedom is not free. We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it. May we never forget and always remember our brothers and sisters who have served so that we may enjoy the gift of freedom.“

Alex Pretti, Renée Good, ICE, Murder

To those of you who view empathy as a weakness or simply don't feel it, yesterday was devastating for people who carry the weight of others. We are mourning people we never met because they are our neighbors, and our government is killing us for simply existing.

If you cannot find empathy for those under the heel of ICE in Minneapolis, look at the facts. Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse. He was a healthcare worker exercising his right to lawfully carry a firearm. While helping a woman, he was pepper-sprayed and beaten by six men.

He didn't have a weapon drawn, he had a camera pointed at ICE. He was doing nothing wrong. This is not just about "them," this could be any of us. If this doesn't stir something in your gut, you need to ask yourself why.

The People Struggle Against Tyranny

Another execution of an American citizen. A regime that has no strategy but to lash out. The struggle against Trumpist authoritarianism is only going to get bloodier.

My new piece. And for this one, I allowed myself to write angry:

When I was in middle school this girl, Cricket was always talking about her "boyfriend from Canada"

"He's named Kyle and plays hockey. We met on the postcard exchange. He sent me this valentines day card."

We made fun of her. Kyle was obviously fake.

Well. She just married Kyle.

KYLE WAS REAL ALL ALONG.
