Attempting to be “hip” with AI and at least be better at using it. I have been attempting to use PicoClaw which is for having a local agent who can do stuff on your system.. it’s going painfully bad. Can’t even accurately port a Python script to Cpp 🫩

The weird thing about people saying you can’t tax wealth obviously forget that many Americans are already taxed on wealth when they pay property taxes. They don’t realize the value on their home until they sell it. Yet property tax doesn’t stop home equity loans to improve your investment.

Trying to find my way again. Here’s a little USB PD + RGB controller I’m working on.

If you’re a California resident, be sure to vote in the upcoming special election! If you need a little bling to get you motivated, we’ve got you covered with both ready-to-go small pins and solder-it-yourself kits! Kits are 50% off and assembled pins are 25% off. Happy voting!

Thanks to republicans and greedy for profit insurance schemes, my employer sponsors healthcare is going up 18%.. that’s a lot and it’s nothing compared to people with ACA coverage.. great job, you’re really making the wealthy great again…

We're excited to announce a new initiative to support the Rust Project, our Rust Maintainers Fund! We are setting out to employ 6 full-time maintainers and 6 interns in 2026 to make sure #rustlang is well maintained and bugs and contributions get the attention they need. Read more: rustnl.org/fund

In times like these, the song Toy Soldier by Eminem hits a little harder.

Ya know, I was trying to pin down why attacking civilian vessels in the Caribbean sounded familiar, then I remembered that a particular 1940s German state did the same thing during WW2

With everything going on, I’d like to break up your timeline with a sweet baby named Rune!

Still going on if you haven’t had a chance to grab anything

This sale is still going on, everything is marked down 20% for like the next 3 weeks and longer.

Honestly, it’s pretty lucky that I can draw down my retirement account to cover preventative medical expenses so I can work more years in the capitalism machine. Not sure what I’d do if I could actually retire before I die.

I’m super glad I live in a country where my taxes go to painting border walls and not covering medical expenses acquired from my wife and I doing the very thing they claim they want married people to do, have kids. Hello $450/m for the next year to pay off a $4600 medical collection 🫠

Hi, I am having a sale on my remaining inventory on @tindie.com it’s running until everything is gone so head on over and grab some cool stuff like the RPGA Feather! #maker #electronics #tindie #rp2040 www.tindie.com/products/oak...

The Independent has identified Eric Lendrum as the DHS PR officer responsible for a relentless flood of social media posts on DHS pages using Nazis memes, slogans and images. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high. Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance. Nothing trickles down to workers.

My pronouns are he/he because my life is a joke. (But seriously, support trans rights because trans rights are human rights).

Depression is so weird. Some people just doom scroll, some people lay in bed, others emotionally spend on little dopamine treats. Me? My brain says I need to go spend $520 on lumber to build the desk/bookshelf combo I dreamed up for the primary bedroom for my wife and I.

This year, I tell ya.. just beating me down. Today I’m saying goodbye to my dog Mumford, my best friend. The first big commitment for my wife and I. I already lost my dog Bella just two months ago. Two in one year, just a gut punch 😣💔

Frustrated with lack of a visual diff for KiCad PCBs in git, I made a simple shell script that does 90% of what I want. Here's a demo of it in action. Now I can "git diff" my PCBs! The code: gist.github.com/todbot/aa644...

Decided to rebuild a coffee table I made a few years back. I really like the way it came out.

If liberty for some comes at the expense of others, you do not live in a free society.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I wish that when people predicted what’s happening now, that people would have listened in 2015/2016 so we never actually got all of this. The systematic push by people who are now loudly saying what they’ve always believed is short of astounding.

Green Day was and will probably always be one of my favorite bands, especially the political messaging behind their songs. Architects has definitely been moving up the list. Their song Whiplash is very pointed and a great anthem of our current resistance, for me at least.

I out a couple hours into Jump Ships demo with my brothers and a buddy Sunday evening and last night. I love the game mechanics and the entire premise. Super fun and I’ll definitely be buying it.

I just want to make one small point on this, the frogs slowly boiling in water quip is just factually wrong. Frogs are smart enough to know when the water is too hot even if it starts off cold.

Zuckerbucks has really turned is advertising over to far right advertisers. Nothing I interact with says right wing, and no matter how many pages I block there is always more far right ads popping up on my feed. This is getting ridiculous.

One day we’ll look back at the videogame industry and see that all our art, fun and games helped build is the infrastructure, tech and intelligence for a bleak totalitarian future. Worst of all, those who profit from this will have mullets and pubes on their face. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWEX...

Did Trump think that people wouldn’t find out about this? Like the internet doesn’t exist in Mexico or something?

They support Israeli settlers more than they support Americans' freedoms.

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The Utah Board of Education is considering a rule to be intentionally broad in its attempts to silence teachers in what it calls an attempt to get ride of “DEI” and “Cultural Marxism.” I’d argue most people talking about cultural Marxism don’t understand what it really is and they engage in it daily

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Hey folks, I have a handful of pre-tariff built RPGA Feather available if you’re interested in snagging one. I have a handful of mini panels left so I can hold this price for the next few I assemble. I’m not sure how many I’ll make after that though. www.tindie.com/products/347...

I knew I wasn’t going to be able to actually get a preorder in for the switch 2, but it’s so dumb that I knew this would be the case before it even launched.. why can’t people just enjoy something at retail price.. I hate scalpers..
