Every time I hear one person yell “sea” followed by the crowd shouting back “hawks” I get very uneasy. The sound and cadence is all to similar to the infamous German salute. youtube.com/shorts/XxGET...

The IOC disqualified a Ukrainian athlete for showcasing photographs of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia. Meanwhile, Russian/Belarusian are allowed to complete under neutral status. An Italian athlete openly showed a Russian flag. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised: www.cnn.com/2026/02/13/s...

In a weird way, I think Rubio did European leaders a favor. He basically said “you’re on your own”. Now act accordingly.

The Hawks did it.

That made me laugh out loud. Because it’s so messed up and sadly not entirely hyperbole.

Oh wow. Didn’t know that either. It’s not entirely surprising, given that time and place though. Nonetheless sad.

We were planning on watching the Super Bowl with my wife’s aunt. She told us that they will watch the Turning Point USA halftime show. We love her aunt but we refuse to subjugate ourselves and our kids to that so we’ll respectfully tell her we won’t come.

If you still feel it’s too krass to refer to Trump‘s administration as fascist, these 20 minutes are worth your time. www.samharris.org/podcasts/mak...

interesting thought: “The West must recognize that restricting AI access in Russian-speaking markets […] clears the field for Yandex and DeepSeek. […] Today, by restricting AI access, Western tech companies are inadvertently reinforcing [the information vacuum]”

😞

Patrick Stewart is Benjamin Button. I mean look how young he is now!

People are missing the point IMHO. It was never about the movie. Or that people watch it. It’s a way for companies to channel money to Trump. The fact that people don’t want to see it probably hurts their ego but the primary mission is still a success: legalizing the bribe.

What do you think? github.com/dotnet/runti...

Another ludicrous display by Moscow. Any effort in good faith would propose a neutral third party as the host.

Not sure how to take this. I don’t trust Fico to act in good faith. He either states the obvious to score points or Trump made demands / pushed for a direction Fico didn’t like.

I’ll never understand why people use StyleCop. Just run dotnet format periodically. Don’t waste your time.

We’d have a lot more accountability if ICE had committed those recent killings in Benghazi.

Whenever I see interviews with angry MAGA folks I'm reminded of this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uoqd...

Sigh. One day we’ll be able to talk about AI as a tool rather than some miracle weapon that produces unnatural results. Shitty headlines like this are what’s wrong with our industry.

The shortsightedness of this new breed of Republican ideology will haunt us for years to come.

“To advocate for peace through strength is not warmongering; abandoning it, is.” — @andrewchak.bsky.social Another great op-ed by Andrew that hits hard. Ukraine deserves much better. And Europe needs to learn that stopping Putin isn’t just morally right, it’s also in our best interest.

Putin maybe surprised to learn that many Russians despise him too.

Talking about @keansbox.com to our kids. Our 6yo is asking who that is. @kfaithw99.bsky.social says “he’s a kiwi who works at JetBrains”. (I told her to say that to Dave when she met him a year ago. Still caught me by surprise 🤣)

I finally found my favorite git client. It’s fast. It let’s me do all the things I do frequently. It’s all keyboard driven. It’s a terminal app. It’s:

Cry me a river. Don’t care. Until the rich guys have a plan to redistribute wealth taxation is the wa to go. Also, be me guest. Leave. Soon other states will follow.

It’s time.

Haven’t watched it yet but did download. This feels like a civic duty; consume journalism that the government doesn’t want you to see. Especially the Trump administration.

Interesting. It seems using WebP for encoding images instead of JPG definitely creates some significant savings.

We had amazing date night: first sushi followed by a visit to the local emergency room 😃 @kfaithw99.bsky.social decided to push down our recycling… sadly she cut her finger with a can lid and needed stitches 😞 But we got it done ⛑️

Will you look at that ❤️ 🖖

NeoVim is growing on me

And here we go:

My wife @kfaithw99.bsky.social bought me a Christmas ornament. She described it as a naked minion with Down syndrome wearing a bikini top. It is C-3PO. But tell me she’s wrong.

How does James Bond ring the doorbell?

Just learned about File Pilot. Used it for 10 minutes and I’m already in love. filepilot.tech

AI will finally able to surpass my personal best of ConsleApplication2729353292.

Fuck that. Germany just went the other way. And that’s good.

Red Alert! Go to lego.com and order the Enterprise. This is not a drill. I say again, go to lego.com and order the Enterprise. This is not a drill.

I’m actually in favor.

An incredible episode

And that’s why you shouldn’t apologize to bullies for criticizing their behaviors. To quote John Oliver: "...giving the bully your lunch money doesn't make him go away—it just makes him come back hungrier each time." “The only thing they understand are these four words: Fuck you. Make me.”

I became a citizen under Biden because I saw this coming. And while I wasn‘t under the impression that becoming a citizen would make me immune to it, I do believe it made it harder to kick me out. And yes, I’m aware that me being a white European also makes me less vulnerable. Still.
