Babe, wake up. A new Chotiner just dropped: https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-david-boies-thinks-we-should-support-trumps-iran-war

In his talk in digital sovereignty, @mirkoboehm puts into clear words some vague thoughts I've having about why the freedoms granted by FOSS licenses are not enough to give people control over their computing. #fossback

"Let's resist the rise of nationalism" is the perfect message to kick off #fossback, or any other day really

Up very early to watch the #fossback live stream. If only it had been at the end of the week, I might have been able to attend in person before going to KubeCon. I'd love to make it to Berlin someday so that I can be in the room.

BTFU! #purdue

At the end of the first quarter, Wisconsin leads Michigan 16-11 in the Big Ten football tournament. This just in: it's actually a basketball score in a game featuring 2 of the top 4 offenses in the league. 🤷

The downside to coming home from a conference: 40 tasks due or overdue today in Todoist 😭

Me: Has the alarm gone off yet or am I just awake? Me: *looks at the time* Me: Oh it definitely has not. Body, I have a long day of travel. Please go back to sleep.

Always feels good to be done with a talk. Thanks to everyone who attended and of course the entire #scale23x team for putting on a great conference year after year.

The NYT games desk deserves every angry email it gets today.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Accidentally left my DevConf CZ travel mug somewhere in ATL. Tragic.

Time for another round of everyone's favorite game: How Dad Am I? I am so Dad, I'm grinning because I got the sockets for my ratchets organized and de-duplicated.

Hello, I regret to inform you that my brain is back on its bullshit: https://youtu.be/zsxM6wyewYY

I just thought of a website for passively-cooled computers called "OnlyFanless". In a roundabout way, you can blame @forbiddenunix.com for this. I will not elaborate further.

Laissez les bons temps ruler.

I just heard birds chirping outside 😍

#purdue basketball is so bad for me.

Y'all, as sad as Elon Musk is right now, remember: we can make him sadder!

I know we like to joke about recipe blogs, but I have a soup recipe open in a tab that's apparently using 8GB of memory and I am just so damn impressed right now.

the closing date of our cfp is rapidly approaching (next week i think) please submit more things please https://pretalx.northbaypython.org/nbpy-2026/cfp

I am really looking forward to this talk. Wish I could be there in person instead of watching online. From: @FOSSBackstage https://floss.social/@FOSSBackstage/116000997398312271

New song from Bruce Springsteen -> the streets of Minneapolis. He is holding 0 punches and is very unafraid to be on the side of good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKSoxG1K7w

Happy "Small Boulder The Size of a Large Boulder" Day to those who celebrate.

The worst part about the kids having a two hour delay tomorrow is adjusting all of my alarms.

Guess I need to be better about housekeeping. My furnace filters are now giving out after a month — and they're 4" filters!

I finally broke down and bought a new label maker for the one that's been missing since spring. It arrived yesterday. I can't wait to find the missing one today!

I admin a Facebook group for a friend's organization. To check for a pulse, I include a screening question "what's the name of Dot the stuffed monkey?" Y'all. The number of people who cannot figure out the answer. 😭😭😭

A working knowledge of sed and awk continues to be both a blessing and curse.

Every idea I've had for my #scale23x talk has been a meme. This could get interesting.

OH at the ice cream shop: I don't want to be pissed on by a drunk man in the middle of the night. I am very confused as to why this needed to be said.

Any time I think I am too self-serious, I go read the comments on @Quinnypig's LinkedIn shitposts from people who have never met satire and I feel a lot better about myself.

When I'm listening to an audio book and the narrator says "chapter 11, " I always say "bankruptcy". This is just how I am.

Taylor and Travis need to invite Anderson to their wedding to read the "Wood" lyrics as part of the ceremony. #cnnnye

8755.5 hours a year, CNN is a serious news network. 4.5 hours a year, it's Andy Cohen's Chaotic New Year Featuring a Bewildered Anderson Cooper. #cnnnye

I hope CNN's brand team isn't watching Andy say "strictly dickly" while playing "Do! Lesbians! Give a damn?" with Brandi Carlile. #cnnnye I need a media reporter to confirm whether or not that phrase has ever been used on CNN.

I just found out that my wife does not care for the Steve Miller Band and if her parents are were still alive, I'd send her back and get a refund.

I am loving the puppet show. #cnnnye

"We like to envision them *peeing* in their diapers." — Andy Cohen operating an hour ahead of schedule #cnnnye

Fun fact: Since 2001, "Summer of 69" has been closer to 1969 than the present day. #cnnnye

Time for drunk Andy and Anderson! #cnnnye

This episode of Quantum Leap has both CCH Pounder and Mark Alaimo. It's my lucky day!

The way this wind is blowing, there's a non-zero chance I wake up without a roof in the morning. #INwx

🎶Plumbing, electrical, appliances, too My billing statement says that it's true I spent no money I spent no money Last month at Menards🎶 But my Midwesterner Card is safe. I'm planning to go Save Big Money™ later today.

Yesterday my wife and I went to the bookstore and we bought negative books! (We brought some in to sell and didn't buy any for once).
