🎉 Less than one month until #SciPy2026! 👉️ ti.to/scipy/scipy2... When people ask what SciPy is, it's tempting to say it's a conference about Python for scientific computing. But SciPy has always been much more than that.

Found a Dunkin card from 2017 (forgotten Christmas gift tucked in a book). Redeeming it in the app just worked. Should be unremarkable but I 100% expected it to fail. Shout out to simple, boring, reliable tech stuff that works 🥰

Hard to overstate how universally loved the Bears are where I'm from. More than any other sports team, celebrity, food, music genre, etc. People who say "I don't really watch sports" know what happened in the Bears game last night, know who Caleb Williams is. They belong here. This sucks.

Straight up, if you weren’t a Sky fan when we were in second to last place, don’t come hopping on the bandwagon when we are third from last place 😌 #WNBA

Dom Smith is the one that got away 🥲

And the Amtrak drops you off downtown on both ends, 0 cab/Lyft/bus required! Chicago folks who've never trained up for Summerfest - try it this year 😎

I see far more local chicago content on here than i ever did on the bird app - it brings me so much joy. My politics is now happy neighborhoods and a sunny chicago day is the best

"If humanity is now defined by the presence of casual errors, American-centric colloquialisms, and a certain informal, conversational rhythm, then where does that leave the rest of us?" marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-kenyan-... Really good piece from @marcusolang.substack.com

Hate that playoff basketball requires a streaming subscription, love that the broadcast team is D-Wade, Candace Parker, and Kevin Harlan. I'd listen to another 100 games of this.

bout 7 years ago, I bought $10 tickets to see Cory Booker give his stump speech at a restaurant in Chicago. Made a typo in my last name, one I've never made elsewhere. 7 years of relentless unsubscribing later, still getting fundraising emails from random out-of-state Dems, addressed to that typo 🙃

✨everything sucks ✨ [1][2][3] [1] the big, obvious one [2] "AI" garbage everywhere [3] only villains and boring teams left in the NBA playoffs

There's a secret other game inside every Laker game! Try watching Marcus Smart off-ball (offense and defense) for 60 seconds, you'll see.

Really good piece, expresses clearly what I've only been able to describe with "ugh 😫". Thank you @ky.fyi ☺️

Just caught someone trying to sneak a security exploit into LightGBM via a plausible-but-huge PR 😫 They wrote out exactly how they were trying to trick us in a public repo. If I weren't so angry I'd think that was funny. 😡 LLMs made the big do-evil button easier to reach, a human chose to push it.

This is a Neemias Queta fan account.

It's official ... LightGBM has moved to its own GitHub organization 😬 We hope it'll improve the health of the project and clarify its governance structure. If you encounter any issues, please report them here: github.com/lightgbm-org...

"Errors in your code mean you're doing something cool!" 😊 (spotted in a tutorial)

🎶 How does the wall keep us free? The wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That's why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free 🎶

If you look closely you'll see it... this is a Dave Roberts appreciation post 😁. Go Sox.

I love this thread. I did a 26-hour Amtrak once and this is making me want to again.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

🚨 SPORT CLOSE 🚨

“It is not simple. I do not know what that means.“

I cannot stress this enough - Chicago is not to be fucked with

outrageous pickup at Trader Joe's in the Chicago burbs today

'pydistcheck' (github.com/jameslamb/py...) is a CLI for finding portability issues in packages (wheels, sdists, and conda packages). Stuff like "file is too big" and "compiled objects have debug symbols". v0.11.0 now available 😁 (example in thread)

I, a person who's been to Minneapolis exactly once, am excited. Save the date!

more of this plz

Go birds, but gotta respect how hard Kiké is Marcus-Smart-ing tonight

Thank you PSF! This took courage, at a time when it's badly needed.

it is 2-2 in the 6th, why tf does Marlins Man have his visor rally cap'd lol

Went to NBC to "just get eyes on" NBA opening night. An hour has passed and I'm still here 😅

Gary Graf, a Chicago Heights Catholic priest, began a 50-day justice walk from Pope Leo’s boyhood home in Dolton to New York.

The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.

Sox season ended like an hour ago and ESPN already sent me a "here are their key free agents" notification. YES I CLICKED IT, but still bruh cmon! Anyway go Sox, great season 🥲

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

DIRTY WATER AND TESSIE AND ETC LETS FUCKING GO

To you-know-who and all his ghouls: STFU about Chicago 😘

Weirdest HR of the season just happened, go Sox: www.mlb.com/redsox/video...

Ceddanne Rafaela should win a Gold Glove for Center AND Second Base 😘 (1/n)

NEW: Black women are 3-4x more likely to die during childbirth than their white peers. Through the Curbside Care program, the Celtics work to ensure all mothers have access to critical care. Derrick White is at the center: "He's just an incredible person." www.celticsblog.com/boston-celti...

Diego Luna!! May the Force be with you!!!! #USMNT 🦅

Still not over Marcus Smart, and now Raffy?? My little heart can only take so much 😭

Let's all be thankful we got this, and not Knicks - Twolves #NBAFinals

In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years. No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism. Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

It’s official. Angel Reese as the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 500 points and 500 rebounds. 😮‍💨 #WNBA #AngelReese

I built R from source yesterday, for the first time ever, and for a real reason. And I might just do it again tonight. This is what I've become 🫠

If you follow me for the things I post about making computers go beep boop, plz read this essay by @grimalkina.bsky.social www.fightforthehuman.com/why-i-cannot... The word "technical" as used in software spaces has always made me wince, this piece describes why better than I ever could.
