The level of ignorance and lack of self awareness in our current government...

The world's population as 1,000 people.

the NYT referring to "scientific orthodoxy" instead of "science" or "proven facts" or "the truth" is what helps you see that this newspaper is now, & has been for some time, a critical part of the fascist apparatus in this country

This was a fun session, but huge stage and blinding lights! And the audience only found one bug in my code... 🤣

More #Live360 fun! I had a good turnout for my "Blazor for JavaScript Developers" session, and they asked some good questions, which always makes presenting more enjoyable.

Ready for #Live360

Is GitHub Copilot in Jetbrains IDEs just permanently broken now? I get "Stream Closed" every day, after some length of time working in Rider. Only solution is restarting the app. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the plugin, deleting temp data, no luck to keep it alive. @github.com @jetbrains.com

Prevalence of colour blindness around the world

Racist terrorism by the government. This is a US citizen. www.charlotteobserver.com/article31293...

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Pfew, presentation is finished! 😱 A bit stressful but I hope it went smoothly for the audience... 🤞 I'm super thrilled to be able to finally share the project I have been working on in the past months https://retroc64.github.io/ 🥳 Now, Happy Coding with the C64 and .NET! 🚀 #dotnet #c64

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, “Where is your God?” (Psalm 42:1-3)

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Really enjoyed my time at #TechBash again this year! Thanks @techbash.bsky.social @alvinashcraft.com and the rest of the team on an excellent conference!

60 Minutes Edits Donald Trump Telling Them 60 Minutes Should Edit Donald Trump Talking About How 60 Minutes Paid Him For Editing Kamala Harris 60 Minutes is under new management and things are getting stupid faster than you might expect. Last night’s episode featured President Trump, which is…

#Thugs "Leaving his home in Ontario to work at a food bank Thursday morning, Carlos Jimenez pulled over to warn a group of federal agents that they should wrap up their stop of a car quickly because school-age children would soon gather there to take the bus, his lawyers said Sunday."

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

#30DayMapChallenge Day 1: Points: timpurdum.dev/post/2025/11... Using GeoBlazor on my blog to share food pantry information in the US at this time of insecurity for many. (Late to post, had to fix an unrelated dotnet 10 bug on my site.) #dotnet #blazor #gis

It’s okay to be glad that restaurants are doing stuff like this AND absolutely furious about the utter failure of the United States government.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Justice Kavanaugh: "and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States."

There's money available to feed poor people. The Trump regime has deleted that fact from a government website, but it's still a fact.

The hunt continues beyond the land of the living… 💀 It’s networking from beyond the grave, and today’s clue might just resurrect your savings. 
A new hidden code waits somewhere on the Live! 360 Orlando site - bit.ly/live360orlando - ready to unlock up to $900 off standard registration.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

REM was wrong. I do not feel fine.

Great post here from @mikecaulfield.bsky.social on what this means. mikecaulfield.substack.com/p/the-video-...

Had an interesting conversation tonight with another experienced architect about whether microservices should be the default for every application. His argument was that it’s the best way to guarantee reliability. Mine was that it’s an optimization and that like most optimizations it’s best delayed.

JavaScript devs curious about #Blazor? In this Q&A, @timpurdum.dev maps React/Vue mental models to Razor components, explains server vs WebAssembly, and why .NET’s “batteries-included” router/tooling can speed full-stack work. Preview his #Live360 session: visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/202...

I’ll be presenting on #Blazor for #JavaScript Developers at #Live360 this fall! Register by Oct. 24 and use my code Purdum to save $500 off standard pricing (vs. $300 Early Bird). See you in Orlando! bit.ly/live360orlando

Best sign

America has gone almost 24 hours without its president posting a video of himself dumping shit on Americans. 🇺🇸

Really good article about MAHA

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

This is my interview for #VSLive Orlando on the #Blazor for #JavaScript Developers session. Looking forward to sharing with more folks next month! visualstudiomagazine.1105cms01.com/articles/202...
