Baking is my escape lately lol

Sometimes the absurdity of American life just makes me laugh. Millions of people have decided that instead of listening to doctors or healthcare professionals, they’ll listen to a guy who used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.

Thou shalt not kill schoolchildren to distract from your crimes against children.

3D printed tiny Tux to bring to @socallinuxexpo.bsky.social

So excited to see everyone, and geek out at Scale! I’m looking forward to speaking about The intersectionality of Human Psychology, Security and The Era of AI and Misinformation!

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now. Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

This is probably gonna get lost in the whole 'war' thing happening this weekend but... "Patel’s demand that rotating SWAT teams provide his girlfriend with security for singing appearances, personal engagements and errands is unprecedented in the FBI" 🎁 Link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

US media has defunded and fired almost all foreign correspondents and that’s a big part of why they are just stenographers for the administration I’m watching middle eastern coverage instead. With reporters on the ground all over the region

This is on my TBR list

I can't believe they really called this illegal war "Operation Epstein Fury"

OpenAI's Sam Altman says he shares the "red lines" set by rival Anthropic restricting how the military uses AI models, amid Anthropic's escalating feud with the Pentagon. n.pr/4rO27YE

Big protest at the Lincoln Monument. Seven D.C. high schools walked out to come here.

When your big ass lab puppy 🐶 decided the fruit trees you spent last week planting are just big sticks they should drag around 😑 and play with.

The US economy is just a half dozen billionaires Venmoing one another while the rest of us starve.

Longterm supported Linux kernels get a longer life #Linux #OpenSource #kernel

They lied and here's the video proof. I cannot believe we're just gonna keep on like this and absolutely nothing happens

Next week I'll be at Scale and attending the Fedora Hatch Day and the Fedora RPM Packaging Workshop! There will be presentations, a hands-on workshop and plenty of time for connecting with Fedora friends old and new. www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/23x/sp... www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/23x/pr...

It’s wildly disrespectful for someone to take time out of their day to speak with you and you send a chat bot

The Guardian has identified the Columbia student abducted by DHS as Ellie Aghayeva. She posted the IG story below: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If you can go to SCALE, you should! I'll be camping that weekend, and I'm very sad to miss it

Use code FAFOF for 40% off a ticket

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

A tech drag king named “drag and drop”

I tried to change my kids contact settings on who he’s allowed to interact with and accidentally blocked myself from getting messages that aren’t in my contacts. I’m kinda not mad about it. 😂

happy "cancel adobe creative cloud to get 50% off" day to all who celebrate

Interesting

Props to @scott.hanselman.com for naming the elephant in the room in big tech. AI coding tools boost senior engineers but create challenges for juniors who lack context to judge outputs. Cutting junior hiring for near-term gains weakens the future pipeline. We’ll need apprenticeship-style paths.

until these people are climbing barricades and lying down on runways, I’m more likely to go steal some of their money than give them any of mine

hey sorry I missed the state of the union I decided to wash my hands with bees instead

Duh.

Gen Z may be the first modern generation to score worse on standardized tests than their parents. Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath points to schools replacing textbooks with tech and the iPhone. I’d add COVID as a major inflection point many never recovered from.

Discord has announced that it's cutting ties with Persona, the AI software company backed by Peter Thiel used for age and identity verification.

This is so friggen neat. First "GPS" on another planet, maybe?! The Perseverance rover on Mars can now know where it is to within 25cm, using a technique that snaps panoramic images, flattens them into a bird's-eye view, then compares them with orbital images. Clever! 🔭

Anthropic digs in heels in dispute with Pentagon, source says reut.rs/4qYpGN9

As ICE moves to massively expand immigration detention through the purchase of warehouses around the country, the best example of what these places might look like comes from Camp East Montana, which opened in August and now holds over 3,000 people per day in terrible conditions. Read more below!

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

Went to the Liberty Science Center this morning before the storm. Really enjoyed the planetarium experience. They allowed us to take photos at certain ping. This is a nebula from the Webb telescope. Those dots are galaxies. A good reminder of how tiny we are in the universe.

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Daily edition of "AI is going great"

Wicked: For Good and Zootopia 2 beating people over the head with the message where the government set you against people who look different, only to turn out to be the real villains I’m here for it.

Martinez’s death would mark the 1st shooting victim under DHS in 2025, and overall 5th under the Trump Administration alongside Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti.
