Why do I get the feeling today will not be the only time in my life that I hear All Star at a funeral?

For people asking where this is from, a follower sent it to me, I am told the source is a forum discussion by foreigners living in China

Just now I nearly thought a distressing thought but I managed to not think it. Which is weird because in a sense I thought it, but it's kind of on the edge of consciousness.

Sometimes I feel like my brain performs speculative execution.

Like, I can know a thought I was going to have but didn't because my brain either accidentally or intentionally changed paths.

Today marks the start of Trans Awareness Week. I am proud to be part of the governance team of three organisations standing up for trans rights: Australian @Greens, @VictorianGreens, and @VicPrideLobby #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️‍⚧️

this but unironically

That sure is some #melbourneweather coming up.

The existence of an Attorney-General implies that there must also be an Attorney-Specific.

Insomnia and pain.

Tuvix discourse occupies such a large space in Star Trek Shitposting groups. It iss absurd.

Of all things that could have happened around the US election, Tuvix discourse going mainstream after a Twitter interaction between AOC and Kate Mulgrew was... not one I expected.

My angsty teenage greyhound is distressed that his other parent has left the house, and has started carrying a knife around the house and leaving it in my path. Concern.

I have built a light-weight error handling layer, which you can wrap your code in.

const cowsay = require("cowsay");

const cowError = (fn) => {
try {
fn();
} catch(e) {
e.message = cowsay.say({ text: e.message });
throw(e);
}
};

Oh no, I've had an awful idea.

try {
throw('Baseball');
} catch(e) {
console.log(`Caught a ${e}`);
}

Throw a baseball.

try {
throw(null);
} catch(e) {
console.log(e);
}

Throw a null.

try {
throw(self);
} catch(e) {
console.log(e);
}

Your code can yeet itself.

So @0x2ba22e11 just taught me that you can throw *anything* in JavaScript and I'm having fun.
