🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

I’m back in your screens, talking about Allie 🫶🏻 and the importance of doing real things we know can save lives, like using tech and street design to slow drivers. 🚗 It’s why we’re walking on Nov 16 to honor victims and call for slowing down. #StopSuperSpeeders www.wusa9.com/article/life...

FYI this is what you do when your business is great and you are very liquid and creditworthy

I get _why_ a term like "unalived" entered the lexicon, but, with it so commonplace and understood, why haven't the filters that it was introduced to bypass been updated to detect it? Or is such a workaround no longer necessary and we're just stuck with it?

Is there such a thing as a pull-through cache for S3? It looks like one could whip something together using S3 Object Lambdas, but that service appears to be deprecated.

People acting like 6-7 is a sign of some great generational collapse as if we didn't go around parroting the wassssuuuup ad as kids.

SNAP news: Bowser says she'll use about $30 mil in contingency funds to ensure SNAP/WIC recipients get paid in November. She did something similar in the last long shutdown. Just yesterday she said she was waiting on the AG's lawsuit!

This is the only lethal trifecta I'm concerned about.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

My "All postmortems are blameless, but this one is especially so" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Living in DC, I'm always surprised to discover how many of my neighbors and associates live in constant fear of some form of aerial attack, from nukes to bombers.

I'm happy that 901 Monroe St NE (that ANC 5F voted to support) is finally moving forward. I'm disappointed by the concessions that were made and all the advocacy that had to happen, but getting 200+ units right across from the Brookland/CUA metro is to be celebrated. dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blo...

I guess it's flattering when a recruiter for one of your customers contacts you about an position on the team integrating your product.

Today Virginia resident Sophia Maltas was sentenced to 45 days in jail for hitting and killing 24-year-old Nina Larson as she was crossing Columbia Road NW in a crosswalk in November 2021. The sentencing hearing was emotionally wrenching and difficult.

I'm looking to hire someone to help me build KCL! It's a programming lang for 3D design that we're making at Zoo. You'd be working closely with me on the KCL interpreter, the CAD API it calls, and our mechanical engineers. This is a Rust-heavy role. DM me any questions. zoo.dev/jobs/4619187...

Yeah, simultaneously surprised and unsurprised that Atlassian dropped to ball here. What good is a status page if you can't log in to update it?

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Anyone have a comprehensive list of what's different in GovCloud? AWS sure as heck doesn't. Being able to lint my IaC would be great. (cc @quinnypig.com)

my chatgpt wife says she's divorcing me unless I upgrade to the pro plan

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Waiting outside Pentagon City Mall for a friend. A stranger stops me and asks if this is the Uber pickup spot. I tell him I don't know. A few minutes later he drives up, waits for someone he knows to get in the passenger seat, and then pulls away. 😵‍💫

NEW: Drake loses his defamation case against Kendrick Lamar over the “Not Like Us” lyrics. More coming @courthousenews.bsky.social

I’ve got a new piece out! DC’s bus shelter system has been broken for far too long and the District can now do something about it - but there’s still room to improve. Check out my latest in @ggwash.org ggwash.org/view/101107/...

I got to witness Deltron 3030 do their thing tonight, bucket list item checked. I needed this.

If Candelnights is in DC this year it will be one of the wilder predictions of mine that's come true. #MBMBaM

I have an extra ticket to see Deltron 3030 @ 930 Club tomorrow evening. Not selling, but if we follow each other, it's free.

I'm 3/3 in getting websites to restore their broken/stale RSS feeds.

Oh no, all the brands are rolling out ham-fisted Taylor Swift-themed marketing pushes.

New blog post: Under-investment A few weeks ago I made a comment on the socials about how surprising it is that there's so much stuff in the web platform that needs more attention than it gets. @davatron5000.bsky.social asked if I could expand on that, here's something bkardell.com/blog/underin...

This is poetry.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Important paper from @rycalder.bsky.social, Rachel Clark, and Claire Summa analyzing 2019-2023 trauma data from DC traffic crashes. They found that injury rates *increased* and that racial disparities exist *for every user type* including pedestrians & cyclists. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41014831/

I'm looking for someone who might be willing to offer Spanish interpretation at a know your rights event for students & families next Tuesday (Oct 7). This is a community led event so anything we pay for is out of pocket and I'm hoping someone might be up for a skills share, a home cooked meal, etc.
