It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Only that green van thing (maybe a taxi?) knew how to lean into the turn. Other drivers need practice learning to control skids. And yes, I laughed my ass off watching this a few times.

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.

If you're planning on attending #CodeMash in January, you might be surprised that they opened tickets almost a week earlier than planned. They updated this blogpost with that info. codemash.org/of-tickets-a... When do we find out who is speaking, @codemash.bsky.social ?

Just over an hour away. Give it a watch

FELLOW ROMANCE AUTHORS THIS INCLUDES YOU

The Northern Lights were spectacular tonight. They actually danced over our heads.

Internal Microsoft people keep asking me why I wrote a .NET Bluesky SDK and when I explain it was mean to support enough to write a bot to troll @sinclairinat0r.com about beans, but it grew out of control their response is "Of course, that doesn't surprise me"

We hear it often - "Everything is a trade-off." But what does this mean in #SoftwareArchitecture? Sadukie talks about many of the considerations we have as architects and the trade-offs involved! Check it out: https://youtu.be/gECOcO8nmmk#SoftwareArchitecture #SoftwareDevelopment #TechTraining

From a Twitter research project to an independent rival — Bluesky’s journey under CEO Jay Graber shows how a decentralized, user-first platform gained millions users by prioritizing control & openness in social media. A true alternative in a billionaire-dominated space. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/b...

The latest round of /Bluesky is Dying/ discourse reminds me of the most important lesson I learned while jumping from Twitter -> Mastodon -> Mastodon + Bluesky -> Threads -> Bluesky And that is: the stuff I post doesn't always resonate with others, and blaming the platform doesn't nullify that fact

Ok. Then let it die. Because theft is theft. And even worse if you’re profiting from the crime.

Do you attend tech talks? I suspect that many of you don't give feedback after attending a talk. Yes, I'm calling you out, but please take a listen. You may not realize how few responses are received by some speakers! 🧵

I hope Bluesky will offer a subscription option. I'll happily pay. However, I won't tolerate ads when I pay. Or promoted content. Or being boosted myself. I just want to be the customer, not the product.

I'm old enough to remember t'days before t'Internet (black & white, everyone walked really fast, piano music etc) so I can emphatically say I love Wikipedia. An encyclopedia edited by hundreds of thousands of people - and it's *that readable*? (And well-organised?) I'm a fan. But... 1/

To those celebrating Thanksgiving today, have a wonderful holiday! To all others, have a wonderful day! I can tell some of my family and friends in-person that I'm thankful for them, but I must settle for this post to say that I'm thankful for all of you wonderful Internet friends!

Who's ready for a cozy read this holiday weekend??💙📚

Remember, when you're with your family for the holidays these eight magical words: "I'm sorry I don't know anything about printers."

I'm glad to see they're looking into this. I think, however, we may need governments to start cracking down on training ai on unlicensed data, though.

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋
