The Stanley Parable: completed!
The Stanley Parable is an odd narrative game, where you are effectively given instructions by the narrator. As an office worker, you suddenly realise that everyone else has disappeared, and it feels that the point of the game is to understand why. If it were a traditional game, that would be the case. The game is most fun, or rather funny, when not following instructions.

I ordered a tshirt from an online place today. I chose paypal. I finished filling out the paypal login, then clicked "checkout" and it said "Your cart is empty!" Umm.. what? I got annoyed and went and did something else. 15 minutes later I got confirmation I purchased that tshirt. WTF? Good workflow there....

Folks, Mohammed ( @…) has taken ill after his trip to the South to try and secure a place for his family.
It’s likely Covid.
It’s the second account I’m seeing of someone who visited the South falling ill with Covid in as many days.
Please help him cover cost of treatment in addition to everything else.
This is his fundraiser:

Trump Is a Weak and Failing President, and It’s Time to Say So
Economy loses jobs for August
Donald Trump understands better than anyone else alive that his hold on his supporters
—and on plenty of swing voters, too
—depends on the mere perception that he’s strong, wins everywhere, always acts boldly, and wields absolute mastery over his eternally feckless, disoriented enemies.

Somebody else at my company is running a bot that tries to fix random failing tests
So I received a "hey I think I fixed a thing" PR from this bot last night
While it does, in fact, stop the test failure, it does not fix the problem that this test is detecting (collisions between two production grammars)
It burned a quarter-million tokens to... add a "tolerate more collisions" flag to the test that was failing.
