Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

My cat has a big ole fan club in the complex, and he treats them with utter indifference. People literally lay in the courtyard trying to get him to come near. Two organize their lives around trying to interact. I tell him how many former stray babies would love to have a fan club The glib menace

One more class to go! (Don’t ask me about grading)

“The watchdog group Democracy Forward’s February filing states that the case is “extraordinary because the President controls both sides of the litigation, which raises the prospect of collusive litigation tactics.””

We all have days like this

I am wildly impressed with Claude Cowork so far. The biggest issue is that I can’t grant granular permissions, to a specific folder, for example. B/c I’m a consultant and have to protect client IP, I can’t give access to my entire Docs folder on hard drive or cloud. Severely limits what I can do.

This is the only thread you need on BSKY today. It’s somehow joy and gore combined.

I also teach a course called, “From the New Deal to the Age of Reagan,” in which we read texts by the likes of Russell Kirk, Phyllis Schlafly, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and use a documents book called THE RISE OF CONSERVATISM IN AMERICA, 1945-2000./4

“a secret government interpretation of surveillance law” is a phrase that should terrify every American. Thanks for standing up for the Constitution.

I just bought Claude Cowork. Pray for me.

Oh sorry, so religion and politics should be separate? Is that what you're saying? bsky.app/profile/atru...

I swear I’m trying to work

I’m clearly doing something wrong, but my LLC pays about 42% in taxes.

As a woman, I offer my sympathies to the Pope who is now being told hourly by very many random men what he actually means

“To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.”

He’s so relaxed for just having puked on the sofa

A student is a software engineer at Amazon. She is now required to have AI write 100% of her code. Context: me leading a discussion about how AI might change product team collaboration approaches, and her just showing us she won’t be there to collaborate with. Can’t stop thinking about this.

One thing I find fascinating is who is selected to receive scrutiny. Swalwell is hardly the first documented predator. Why him? Why now? Why not others?

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.

How would you handle a surprise student showing up to your class, and insisting when asked that he is in fact enrolled? 😂 I don’t mind guests, but (1) why not ask first, and (2) why fib?

I don’t know if it’s AI but it’s certainly a mood 😂

A picture of David Bowie that BSKY has mistaken for DJT.

I’m pretty sure this sign is supposed to constitute “notice” that a listening device is capturing everything I say in the doctors office. But boy, you’d be hard pressed to make a case that it’s not literally anything else.

American innovation is dying, and replacing it is an extraction economy. I wish I were kidding. There is no innovation in this. No aspiration for a better world or life. No drive to create.

Here is the syllabus from the most recent iteration of my Stanford Law School class on platform regulation. docs.google.com/document/d/1... 1/

“Even when, or if, a sane administration takes office, it will take a generation or more to recover, and in the meantime, every American will be worse off.”

BREAKING: in March 2026, *every single one* of the 1,341 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans: In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 4,496 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

Nearly had a heart attack #Cat #Caturday

This is Chewy. He loves to help his grandma garden. She can’t kneel down to dig holes anymore, but that’s his favorite part, so they're a perfect team. 14/10 (TT: chewythenewfie)

The number of times a day I say “what a terrible product” about anything Microsoft is non-zero. This message brought to you by trying to comment on a word document in a half inch sized box.

When a CVS executive says it’s a bad idea… “…the data collection described…is unprecedented in its scope and lack of specificity…OPM is proposing the wholesale collection of vast amounts of granular data from all [benefits providers of federal workers]. This raises significant concerns,” she said.”

“everyone has to do something” I will call my representatives AND Speaker / Senate leadership

A first: I paid over $6 per gallon of gas today. On a pump meter that was clearly inaccurate and - evergreen - weighted in the station’s favor.

the next mentoring day has been canceled

I didn’t know this about Michael Vick and this is great. Redemption is possible.

Verification: can we establish shared facts? Deliberation: can we reason together about what they mean? Accountability: can we hold power to account?

I always bring a small replica of the Eiffel tower and place it in the background. That way people think I’m in Paris, as opposed to Gary, Indiana.

I have not yet figured out a way to talk about execution on a product team in a way that is remotely engaging.

This sparks joy

I’m just saying that supporting your local food bank is one of the most important things you can do for your fellow humans right now. Just chatted with my local grocery clerk who is skipping meals.

“The failures are the curriculum. The error messages are the syllabus. Every hour you spend confused is an hour you spend building the infrastructure inside your own head that will eventually let you do original work. There is no shortcut through that process….”
