Can anyone explain to me why the White House is pushing an obviously bullshit Tylenol <-> autism link? It’s clearly bogus, I just don’t get the purpose of it, is someone short selling Johnson & Johnson stock or something?

Man, I like the new iPhone Pro Max but that thing is way too big for my hands. I need Apple to put out a tiny hands Max version for people under 5’2”

A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life. Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

Tramell Tillman wins Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the #EMMYs for ‘SEVERANCE’ He makes history as the first Black actor to win the category.

I can't believe Bill Simmons called Pablo Torre a fake journalist and since then he's destroyed the evil NFL union leaders and is currently dropping Steve Ballmer in a volcano All-timer run happening right now

Best husband points to @thedrawplay.com for taking a break from the first weekend of football and a very busy work day to get a melon soda at Melon Fest with me 🍈 ❤️

There’s power in unity — and in a union. A morning of solidarity and celebration at the NYC Labor Day Parade. #UnionStrong

Deeply fucking unserious to blame a protocol for creeping authoritarianism and advise others to “ignore the laws”

Steve Shirley escaped the Holocaust as a child & went on to found one of the earliest software startups. The really impressive part? She employed women programmers who had been pushed out of the workforce after having kids, & allowed them flexible, family friendly, work from home jobs—in the 1960s!

Many of us are thinking of @stovey.thequeer.house tonight and crossing our fingers for her health. In Bluesky's early days, Stovey spread joy by liking posts at superhuman speed. For the devs, this became a benchmark: anyone exceeding the "Stovey threshold" could safely be assumed to be a bot.

Posting from @anisota.net , which I’m really enjoying! Here’s a picture of a chocolate cappuccino I made this morning

This part, from NYT. Just inhuman.

*tapping the sign*

Boston folks, where can I get a really good coffee in Boston tomorrow morning after a red eye flight, please and thank you

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

Me: Man, the St Helens 25k is pretty technical, if I can get under 3:30 today, I’ll be really pleased Me, 2 miles in: Lmao

Having a fun summer

The good people of Portland frolicking around the beautiful pickle fountain

I played this at @xoxofest.com last fall and it was a blast! Definitely play it if you have the chance

Folks, I've started running a lot in earnest this summer and now have to ask: does anyone have a good sunscreen they like that you won't sweat off? Because I am getting 🔥 fried 🔥 out here

💜

fun news! I was laid off from Twilio. going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week. if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along! reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

Getting super into the Tour de France Femmes this year if anyone wants to watch party or talk about it: www.reddit.com/r/peloton/co...

hell? yea, brother

Went to a folk music summer concert on a small family farm and ended the night by buying a Meshtastic SenseCAP T1000-E, the true Portland experience

We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...

It happened to me: I made a cappuccino at home before brunch instead of buying a coffee there

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

Ran my first 25k trail race this weekend and it was a blast 😊 Nice to go out and touch grass with friends strava.app.link/ECmXHyzP1Ub

GoFundMe has set up a page for the Texan flood victims. Each campaign has been verified by the company's Trust & Safety experts, which means you know your money is going directly to families. Please consider donating if you can. Their stories are heartbreaking. www.gofundme.com/c/act/flood-...

a quick coffee before you keep scroling :) #pixelart

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

LIFE UPDATE So I got laid off yesterday ☹️ I'm hoping to take this time to put more effort into the Draw Play as a whole, so I am re-opening my Patreon and commissions with renewed vigor. I gave more detail on my site itself: www.thedrawplay.com/comic/placeh...

Lots of travel in June, I've only been home about 5 days this month (😭). Got home late yesterday and Luna has been the biggest Velcro Dog since I got back

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

Meeting all of the VIPs in Knoxville, TN this morning

Slack now runs the new Go-powered @typescriptlang.org checker in CI. Using the tool saves us over 5 minutes per run, meaning faster merges and happier developers. Huge thanks to Anders, @jakebailey.dev, and everyone else on the project for the incredible performance gains.

Purely curious, but: how many people did the “spiders crawling up your back”/shiveries rhyme when they were kids? Did it for my friends’ toddler and both parents didn’t know it, I’m wondering if it’s regional or something

I wrote about how to turn in-person meetings into Signal groups, how to manage large semi-public Signal groups while vetting new members, and how to sue announcement-only Signal groups, perfect for rapidly responding to ICE raids micahflee.com/using-signal...

Living her best life

Following today's massive "No Kings" march in Portland, federal agents have begun firing tear gas and less-lethal munitions at a crowd of roughly 500 people at the ICE facility on Macadam Avenue. Stay tuned to the Mercury for the latest.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
