The best war exhibit I've ever seen was "A Distant War" at the Danish War Museum (Krigsmuseet) in Copenhagen, recreating a Danish military camp in Afghanistan. It showed the experience of the soldiers on the ground as they honored the alliance we now dishonor.

Today, I was in a group that referred to "42" as something from an "old movie" none of them had seen - _2001_, maybe? I tried to object, but crumbled into dust.

PROBLEM: With CAPS LOCK on, holding down "j" to move down your vim file squashes the entire file into one long line. SOLUTION: Don't do that.

Thank you #OLF2025 folks! My materials: github.com/catherinedev...

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Maybe, just maybe, if the FBI counterterrorism desk hadn't been retasked to chasing abuelitas, somebody might've followed up on the tips...

It seems sort of notable they keep going after people who are both figurative and literal Boy Scouts

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

📣 Keynote Announcement! We’re thrilled to welcome Abigail Afi Gbadago as a #PyLadiesCon Keynote Speaker! 💜 She’ll present “Beyond Code: Building Careers, Growing Inclusive Communities.” — a talk that reminds us why many of us came for the code but stayed for the community. 1/2

Sean Dunn should never have to buy his own lunch in this city again.

See you at AcadeCon! I mean, you wouldn't miss it, right?

Yet another way Trump is screwing working families: this was a FREE tool we set up so folks could file taxes directly, without paying an expensive service. So who does cancelling it benefit? The answer is not working Americans, but it sure is big corporations who profit off them.

The Trump administration’s lawlessness cannot be ignored. Period.

That's *two* PCUSA clergy in vestments shot in the head with chemical weapons by ICE, while UMC, TEC, UCC, and ELCA are all still at zero. We're getting skunked, folks! Are we going to let the Presbyterians just walk away with this?

Let me tell you a story (before the ship explodes):

Something that not enough people know about SQLite is that it's in the public domain because it's a product of government. General Dynamics made it on contract with the U.S. Navy. When government software is affirmatively placed in the public domain, and the code is public, good things can happen!

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

Every set of microwave cooking directions references wattage. No microwave oven anywhere displays its wattage.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Wishing all the globalists a meaningful Yom Kippur and an easy fast.

Congress should award Trump the Medal of Honor for his heroic service as an FBI informant. But they'll need the details from the Epstein files to do that.

Our billionaire President put an airline lobbyist in charge of the Department of Transportation. So no, this is not a surprise.

Every single person in America knows this is a lie. Anyone who buys anything knows it’s a lie.

Tomorrow (9/1). Stop the billionaire takeover. More than 1,000 protests nationwide. Find one near you. MayDayStrong.org.

I love this americabydesign.fail

They fired all my friends who were experts at doing this so that they could hire corrupt vendors to do this poorly

nerdy urge to write a package to convert between `datetime.date(957,3,1)` and 'March 1, third year of the reign of Eadwig All-Fair'

My yesterday: - Seek new home insurer; ours dropped us now that Tornado Alley has expanded into western Ohio - Pay OHGOP's $200/yr fine for EV drivers - Rage Against the Regime

I would be a bad Jedi because - I would not pause dramatically after activating my lightsaber - Instead of "I must face him alone" I would say "yeah, he looks nasty, help me out here"

Exclusive: I have confirmed that the federal government is still refusing to process permit applications for land-based wind projects almost six months into the Trump administration. Not just offshore. It threatens untold billions of capital investments in the United States. via @heatmap.news

#PyConUS ends with the traditional Volleyball Sprint

On my way to PyCon! Yes, *to* #PyConUS The escaped cat who prompted our early departure from sprints... returned ten minutes after our arrival at home. My beloved Christie talked me into the extravagant self-indulgence of driving all the way back to finish sprinting.

Come learn more about @pyohio.org, the FREE annual Python community conference based in Ohio at the community showcase at #PyConUS! We have stickers! PyOhio is July 26-27 in Cleveland, OH.

It's quite something to see a journalist who cut their teeth in Lawrence pre-Django talking about eventually learning to code, and then building out journalism tooling in Django. It's amazing seeing how much good has come out of one reasonably small newspaper. #pyconus

@geoffhing.bsky.social describing why criminal justice data journalism often needs to be local or state scale. Fits my experience exposing FBI data back at @alt18f.bsky.social‬; dense variety in agencies and their data keeping (or not). #PyConUS
