Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

genuinely stunning image

Favorite sign from the protest today: "Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow" I'm in tears just thinking of it. What's happened to my country? How can a song like that feel apropos?

Every stop of the train strangers were saying this! Bye, love you, fuck ice

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

Prompts turn into real-world CVE liability

For the millionth time, imagine if Obama had flipped off a heckler.

This is 6 YEARS ago. I'm tired boss...

When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not wrong him. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I the Lord am your God.

Eve Sedgewick said "what I'm proudest of is having a life where work and love are impossible to tell apart" and I'm going to wear this like a locket

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

It's Day 19 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Today thousands of Minnesotans poured onto Lake Street to rally in support of our immigrant neighbors and against ICE. Take a moment to look at this crowd of you and your neighbors rallying in below zero windchill. 📸 @roblevine82.bsky.social

High schools are closed today throughout my kids' school district due to threats of violence. I just will never understand why people don't want to do something about the gun violence in this country. theonion.com/no-way-to-pr...

When men refer to themselves as "alpha males", I hear that in the context of software, where alpha versions are unstable, missing important features, filled with flaws, and not fit for the public.

Tonight, my family lights the first candle of Chanukah in a world that feels dark. Despite yesterday's tragedy, my hope remains that light will overcome darkness and that we all may find comfort and strength in our traditions, family, and friends.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

Colleague Khalid opened a nice discussion topic - "Upgraded to .NET 10? Share Your Experience!" github.com/orgs/DuendeS... Curious to read how the upgrade goes for everyone! #dotnet

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

No health care, no deal.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

A big thank you to our poll workers and election judges for your commitment to democracy. Minnesota’s elections are safe, free, and fair because of you.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country. Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community. THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

While providing tech support for my FIL: FIL: What's that screen? ME: The terminal. You should never use it. FIL: Never? ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself? FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

a unique part of American prejudice is that every black person is a criminal, every Latino person is an illegal immigrant, every trans person is a pedophile, every Jew supports genocide, but every white person somehow is not complicit in perpetuating harmful stereotypes.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Hey girl? Are you MFA? Because you make me feel more secure, but you can be kinda annoying sometimes

nothing says "we care about your privacy" more than sharing your data with 222 partners

Sinclair can get fucked with a rusty nail bat.

I strongly recommend this piece By Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Big #dotnet news, the STS (Standard Term Support) releases are now supported for 24 months! devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/dotne...

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

As somebody who has been in STEM fields his entire career and who was an Engineering major, I think this moment in the US 100% reinforces the value of more classic liberal arts education to just better understand or reason about the world. Also, the Aggies in this story are being snowflakes.

Some good news: Gov Walz is keeping the covid vaccine available for my family: www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

If you missed my live stream, don't worry—the internet will keep it available forever. And if I said anything dumb, that's also never going away.

Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

By the way this is not how MFA is supposed to work anymore. You're only supposed to have to do it once. It works fine at my job because we have an actual identity team and comprehensive SSO. This is your company's fault and you should make a noise about it.

worth remembering that any time i say "it is happening!' i have finally needed to use an old cable I have been saving for over a decade
