I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

This bitch better compile!!!!

Took Monday off of work so that I can spend a 4 day weekend working, finishing the last of my freelance projects. Gotta take down that Sword of Damocles suspended above my head.

“XO Ruby exemplifies the Ruby community's dedication to uplifting diverse voices, and in cultivating our connections. It was the best. I'll be coming back. We're gonna throw one of these in SLC next year it was so fun. JIM CALL ME!” –Karl Oscar Weber on #XORubySanDiego

Sharing an spot for the weekend with @kow.fm was great!

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Saw Prey (2022) for the first time in theaters just now. Damn great film.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Breaking news: Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is elected as the next mayor of New York City, defeating former New York governor Andrew Cuomo and becoming the first Muslim and first of Indian descent to hold the office. https://wapo.st/47rlrDf

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.

Zohran Mamdani - the first Indian American and the first Muslim mayor of New York City!! 🎉🎉

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

After talking with a man really bought in to using AI at work, I’m even ore determined to never use it. It just feels like brain rot.

Someone woke me up a whole month late. WHAT THE HELL!!!

Look at these absolute units!

That's how you lead with integrity.

more so than the em dash, i find my self deeply wary of unordered lists with **bolded first sentences**, especially with nested ordered lists. simply reeks of roboslopping and it's totally ubiquitous in their discharge

Give @lorencrary.bsky.social some love, PSF made a hard call, but they made the right call: pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... If you have the means consider a donation as well.

What the fuck is this shit.

The talk recordings from @rmrubyconf.bsky.social 2025 are now live on @rubyevents.org, go check them out! We also just shipped a new look for the featured section on the home page! 🎨

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked. Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

Jamie Gaskins wrote a great piece explaining how shipit, the code the deploys rubygems.org works and why a fork would have been fine. The one thing I would add is that there is no Ruby Central institutional knowledge. There were and are only outside rubygems maintainers jgaskins.blog/ruby-central...

Pendejo!

What comes through loud and clear from Shan is the lack of respect for open source authors. She actually says it’s none of my business why I was removed from rubygems. I don’t know where you got the audacity but you should put it back. youtu.be/nKpo68g9dEk?...

I've lost my suit. Borrowing one.

welcome to linux, please pick your starter distro: - difficult linux - racism linux - backdoored linux - bloat linux - slop linux

I don't know why there's such a fuss; it's a fact that until now the Ruby community has lacked a forum specifically for men who know the age of consent in every state.

War is peace

All technical achievement is inconsequential when paired with a failing of moral character.

It’s interesting to read that deep state suspicions and theories are usual government critiques and are rooted in antisemitism.

Area man does not understand why every community is political.

Every space, group, organization, business, or public square is political. Every act is political. Politics is community power. What is allowed, disallowed, what is celebrated or punished. If you seek to banish politics from any space. You only wish to silence the oppressed. Weak.

GOSH DARNIT! I just got documentation sniped by some damn autogenerated AI slop about markdown syntax. So stupid that people are doing this. STAHP PLEEZ!!!!

Who is the person that first said: "The purpose of a system is what it does"?

I honestly think that @jremsikjr.bsky.social is really great. I really love that guy. He's good people. top shelf that guy. I think I wanna run a conference with him.

Nothin else for it

“... neither oppression nor exploitation as such is ever the main cause for resentment; wealth without visible function is much more intolerable because nobody can understand why it should be tolerated.” -- Hannah Arendt, The origins of Totalitarianism

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA. MARRY BOOKS. KILL AI.

ICE everywhere are trying to provoke the optics the administration wants to bring out martial law, but it's a national effort to take the piss out of them. It's crazy how one guy in a frog suit essentially set the tone for this- so try everything, you never know what will work
