I just had a flashback to using SVN / Subversion for version control and absolutely shuddered. Git may have its quirks but at least we're not dealing with *that* anymore.

Tonight I could have read a book, caught up on TV, gone to the gym, played a video game but nooooooo I decided to work on an app for sorting through and managing blue sky followers.

A bunch of Republicans who understand how bad Trump is are not the future of the Democratic Party, nor should they be!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cory Booker breaks the record for longest Senate speech, previously held by segregationist Strom Thurmond.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Booker is set to erase the record for speaking that was held by Thurmond AGAINST CIVIL RIGHTS as multiple state and corporate entities roll back to segregation And people are wondering why this important

Watching Sen Cory Booker break 24 hours is quite a moment.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

For about ten minutes earlier today we had a itsy storm and I felt like Drew Barrymore

@duckworth.senate.gov I’m a constituent from Chicago, and I’m urging you to vote NO on advancing the CR for government funding. Caving to Republicans is unacceptable — any vote to advance is a vote for the bill. @schumer.senate.gov 's leadership has failed, and he should resign.

The @democrats.senate.gov need a new leader. Schumer is unable to meet this moment. He cannot be the opposition leader when he’s a spineless collaborator.

AOC should announce a primary against Schumer tonight.

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

This coward waited until AFTER Senate offices were closed for the day to do this because he knew it would not be supported by anyone's constituents. If your Senator isn't currently taking phone calls or vms, use their contact form AND find their fax number. You can send a free fax using faxzero.com

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

I've been picking up subscriptions to better places to get news like Block Club Chicago, Wired, 404 Media, and discovered most of these outlets still have RSS feeds! Just loaded a bunch of things into NewsBlur. It's giving me good memories of when this was all still somewhat fun.

Well, can I?

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

Wait are all of you secretly hiding inside these two trucks

There are legitimate critiques of AOC on this or that issue from the left. But really, if there were 100 more representatives like her in Congress, we’d be living in a very different country. She represents what the Democratic Party must become.

Last week I was making a glass bowl on a cruise ship in the Caribbean today I'm doing meetings while wrapped up in a blanket

Who wants to help take my Christmas tree down (I was out of town Jan 4-20)

Followed a "feed for urbanists, transit nerds, cyclists, and advocates of safe and accessible cities" and the first two posts on it were "documenting car culture" with a bunch of photos of cars with massive spoilers. I must be missing something…

Ok Margot now sign on to produce a much needed sequel!

How am I supposed to take a training platform seriously when it's telling me changing passwords regularly is a best practice? That's been debunked for so long that even NIST has caught up.

Hot topic the crust is the best part

I need McMansion Hell and Azealia Banks to migrate over here though. And to do a collab.

Everyone deleting their twitter is practicing compliance. We should be practicing malicious compliance. Delete all your tweets. Use ChatGPT to generate garbage tweets. Poison the training of twitter's AI models.
