Remember the guy in Kids that had no legs? Well I have two kids.

I’m efred on Bluesky now. Thinking I might try to get in the habit of flogging my random projects there.

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

I think up to now my only complaints about twitter have been than there’s too many letters in the name (many of which aren’t very masculine), and there wasn’t always a way for musk to take a cut whenever I buy things

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

@joestaten I would like to switch to your spam provider. Can you give me instructions?

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

What innovator would you most want on your side in the post-apocalypse? I would choose @elonmusk because he could just continue burning his money up and keep the cave nice and toasty.

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

I know, #talkischeap and #iamverybadass, but I sorta wish I worked at twitter so I could tell @elonmusk to shove his pledge up his ass

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

@iocat @benjedwards I just wish it had a MUL instruction though, for some reason

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

With all the existential threats we’re subject to these days, getting worse all the time, what if setting Britney free is what brings it all crashing down?

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

@livcomp @nelson It never occured to me how similar Conway's Game of Life and Progress Quest are. A progess bar is kind of a 1-D game of life with simpler rules.

Here's a fine Vice article for which I was interviewed. It's like two months old so I'm thinking about shaking up my lousy PR team.

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

My ridiculous PR team didn't even think to add the #progressquest hashtag to that

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

just setting up my twttr

@codinghorror Obscure connection: When I was writing Progress Quest in very late 2000, my day job was coding the Google Toolbar, which I was told @spolsky had initially implemented before I inherited it (and evolved into a toolbar from a sidebar)

To think I was concerned about Trump claiming victory when/if he lost. I’m taking such pleasure in it. So long, loser!

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

@realDonaldTrump Lol, pack your shit, loser!

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

This this thick haze in the air is wildfire smoke, not teargas or COVID aerosols, right? Apocalypses are confusing

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

@iocat Zut alors! I think

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

I named my Toyota Land Cruiser “Big Blue” in a simpler, happier time (2011). I’ve now renamed it “Apocalypse One”

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

@PFERD_NA I know there's more important things to worry about right now, but where can I get a Pferd logo t-shirt? You see, my nickname is "Ferd" for some people, and your logo is pretty deece, the blue is nice, so you can see why this would make sense to me.

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

Okay here I am on Twitter again. Did I miss anything? Are we at war?

[Eric Fredricksen @efredricksen]

Don't worry guys. That's probably the last mass shooting.
