There’s a road I’d like to tell you bout Lives on my hometown Lakeshore drive the road is called And it will take you up or down From rags on up to riches Fifteen minutes you can fly Pretty blue lights along the way Help you right on by

I, for one, am anticipating this piece. I expect to learn a lot from it.

Part of me is happy Mills is running. As @danpfeiffer.bsky.social says, she has been a good governor. And, if @grahamformaine.bsky.social can’t beat her in a primary, he won’t beat Collins. That said, I’m excited to support Platner, on character, message, and energy. Let’s go!!!!

Dan Pfeiffer For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the hell the Senate Democrats are doing in Maine — the most important Senate race in the country. Their decision to back Janet Mills suggests they have learned no lessons from our loss in 2024. messagebox.substack.com/p/are-democr...

I want to defeat Susan Collins. The enthusiasm I see for Platner is off the charts and I think he can do that. I prefer his age, temperament and platform to Janet’s - but I have a lot of respect for her and will rank her second. If she wins the primary I will be happy to support her.

Hi @aimsel.bsky.social I loved your column on the Lilith Fair documentary today. Thank you.

Based on what I learned, I’m happy to support @grahamformaine.bsky.social

Excellent interview with @grahamformaine.bsky.social on this week’s WITHPod: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... If you’re interested in learning more about him, this is a great resource.

More importantly, Dominos? Clearly Cancun Ted has never been anywhere near Chicago.

Anyone looking for a #fsharp developer part time? Piecemeal work, bug bounties or short project items?

And I’m glad I did. That money supported artists whose work was important to me.

And here I thought it was Eb7#9no5.

I have very fond memories of my mom’s parents, both immigrants from Poland who lived in Chicago and Wisconsin. They made great pierogis. That said, Dershowitz has no idea the size of the can of whoop-ass he just opened. I recommend everyone buy lots of popcorn.

fun news! I was laid off from Twilio. going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week. if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along! reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

This comes to mind…

Seriously, I can’t stop thinking about this talk. Watch it.

I’ve known @scott.hanselman.com for 2 decades as a colleague and friend. I’ve always respected his insight and thoughtfulness. He’s an excellent presenter and teacher. This is his most thought provoking talk yet. Watch it. Ask what you’re delivering for others. m.youtube.com/watch?v=dVG8...

It reminds me of part of Frank Zappa’s testimony at the PMRC hearings in the 80s: that a warning label about language on rock albums would only encourage bands to have lyrics that guaranteed the label. Because rock and roll.

She speaks truth. UIUC ‘86 here, major in CompSci/engineering. NCSA was awesome, and received multiple grants for different research activities.

Oh sure, he walked 500 miles. But, would he walk 500 more?

ou’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Punk rock kid buskers (‘The Whops’, tiktok) near the Edgware Rd. They run into Paul Simonon, play Death or Glory for him. He asks if they know The Guns of Brixton. They do -

We're going to be talking about the new support in .NET 10 to directly run a .cs (C#) file without a project on the Languages & Runtime Community Stand-up this morning! Come ask your questions 😁 www.youtube.com/live/rb9oXSp...

I yearn for the days of my childhood, when the world’s richest man became such a recluse that he never left the penthouse of the hotel he owned. No social media, so we could all ignore his existence entirely.

There’s only one response

May the fourth be with you

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek or LOTR)

I'm Shenna Bellows, and I've fought for the people of Maine my entire life, from the campaign for marriage equality to the ACLU to the office of Secretary of State. Today, I’m proud to announce that I’m running to be the next Governor of Maine! bellowsformaine.com

Every trump national security official now: youtu.be/4U9Yl5CXvcQ?...

Can confirm “State of Maine” hasn’t apologized. (As the official keeper of all state records and guardian of the seal ;))

This post getting lotta attn but 'Maine' didn't 'enact' a college sports trans ban. Rather UMaine (which has 0 trans women athletes) affirmed it was in compliance w/ new NCAA policy. All for calling out capitulations but condemning folks/states that *haven't* capitulated isn't helpful. #MEpolitics

Oh man, his cronies are trying to make fetch happen.

That meeting really should have been an email.

It’s worth noting that if Elon Musk & Doge can roll through social security info, they can also get at all the ATF records on every gun purchase as well. When is that going to dawn on the NRA folks?

Props to my Vermont friends.

Dear Manager, 1. I drank a whiskey drink. 2. I drank a vodka drink. 3. I drank a lager drink. 4. I drank a cider drink. 5. I sang the songs that remind me of the good times; I sang the songs that remind me of the better times.

Dear manager, 1: I got away 2: got a good job with more pay (ok) 3: grab that cash with both hands 4: make a stash 5: made a shopping list: new car, caviar, 4 star daydream, football team.

Maira was my onboarding buddy when I first joined Microsoft. She’s super knowledgeable and always honest and helpful. In short, a great person to pay attention to.

(Boosts encouraged!) Hi! 👋 I’m Kat. I’ve been a professional dev for over 15 years. I maintained the NPM CLI for 5 of those. I sat in TC39. I work at Microsoft. I’m self taught w/a film degree and no formal CS edu. Are you new to tech? What do you wish you could ask some1 like me? Literally AMA

I joined in as a guest for the .NET Community Standup today where I answered questions around the Tensor work happening in .NET. Give it a watch and feel free to reach out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOEe...

I'm not saying we spend too much money on our military, but we did just spend taxpayer dollars on a flyover above a DOMED stadium
