I interviewed a technical writer this week and he told me about building content for release notes by digging through git diffs and I just had to ask why Product Management did that to him, just professional malpractice. #prodmgmt

Meet Army 1st Sgt. Kenneth “By God” Johnson. trib.al/6OKgikq

I have a sudden and inexplicable urge to get a turn table and start collecting vinyl. I'm now building a list of albums I would buy for myself to send this collection. - Rumors by Fleetwood Mac - Plans by Death Cab for Cutie

I wonder how much of the gridlock in Washington is because the same people have been arguing with each other for 40 years in their respective houses. Not just the parties as organizations but individual representative and senators.

I voted NO. As long as there is still any time left to reverse the MAGA health care hike, I believe we should do everything we can to force Republicans to the negotiating table. The fight for health care does not end tonight.

I've generally liked Angus King for a long time. An Independent through and through, my Maine youth thinks fondly of policies like giving every kid a laptop. But he was Governor of Maine when I was 11. He is now 81, and caving to the Republicans. Maybe Maine needs two new senators.

Evergreen post.

Updated The Bonsai Feed to add hashtags, which I had forgotten and started to filter out some things (Lego and seed kits). bsky.app/profile/did:... #bonsai

Running new wires through an existing house is so hard.

OpenAI wants to allow adults with no history of mental health problems to have emotional entanglements with some computer software, so that they can make money. It worked out really poorly for these folks. www.seattletimes.com/business/ope... #OpenAI

New in PN: The softest Nazis you ever did see "Call it tough guy in the streets and widdle guy in the sheets (of paper for court filings). Truly, nothing revealed this better than the DC Sandwich Guy, Sean Dunn, who a jury found not guilty yesterday."

Nope

5 Whys analysis, but for trying to figure out what the heck your kids have done.

For all the energy demands of the AI data centers (really all data centers), why do I never see pictures of their roofs covered with solar panels? #solar #datacenter

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth

I think I've reached the point in the season that I can safely turn off the Bonsai irrigation system and let mother nature do its thing. Pacific Northwest rainy season is here. #bonsai #pnw

I'm zero percent surprised by this. The military has struggled for years with recruitment in part because of a general lack of physical fitness in the population today. I bet a lot of these recruits have a story that starts "I almost joined the military but…"

i had no idea this was even happening.

Civilization is not a healthy game for me, there are no off ramps and so many little tasks with instant rewards.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Today's a fantastic day to make no configuration changes to your production environments. If something goes wonky, you'll go mad trying to figure out if it's the AWS issue (possibly reflected through a vendor of yours who uses them) vs. your own shitty, shitty code.

I want a good typing training trianer, but instead of using a keyboard, it sends my #supernote a little PDF to practice my cursive handwriting everyday.

This has been in my head for months, but I finally pushed publish, inspired by yesterday's No Kings protest. Some annotations on the Declaration of Independence. Our president wants to act like a king in many of the same ways that we rebelled against. #nokings nortrup.dev/posts/politi...

The Bonsai Everything feed stopped updating due to technical difficulties, but I'm gonna try and recreate something similar. #bonsai bsky.app/profile/did:...

Basically I think progressivism -- moving toward greater equality under law -- is moral & good, & conservatism -- preserving existing social & power hierarchies -- is bad & wrong, & furthermore, I think everyone *knows* this on some level. The thing is, being good is *hard* & often requires ...

Within the next week or so, many Washingtonians will receive ballots for the Nov. 4 general election. Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs is urging voters to fill out and return their ballots as soon as possible, especially if they're planning to do so by mail.

Today I donated a Giant Sequoia that I got with the intent of making a bonsai. They don't make great bonsai, so I asked my city arborist if they could use it. And they are gonna put it in the wooded park behind my house. #bonsai

It wasn’t “found.” It was proudly on display, on a bulletin board in his office. That’s because it’s the Republican flag.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything. It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in. Long thread.

everyone on that stage went along with pardons for jan 6 participants

I really love my @supernote.com , but it has made me really understand that my handwriting is atrocious. Mostly I want to write in more cursive to be smooth and fast. But I clearly stopped developing that skill in 3rd grade. #handwriting

Long awaited bonsai day and I did a bunch of work on one of my junipers. #bonsai #juniper

@russwilcox.bsky.social For the love of God, why can I still not pin a feed of posts by members of a starter pack to my timeline? I know stater packs and lists are different things, but they could be represented as different views of the same thing! @bsky.app

One of the hardest parts of being a Product Manager in a remote company is dropping a doc for team mates to read, and then having to sit and wait patiently for that to happen. I want, but cannot have, instant gratification. #productmanagement

It is raining gold on the San Juans. Probably peak color for the season as rain moves in this weekend.

So when is the administration going to pull down the WWII memorial as antifa proganda?

You should not think you deserve the Nobel Peace Prize while killing millions by eliminating humanitarian aid.

Durbin to Bondi: "Although you've been a registered foreign agent for Qatar, you didn't recuse yourself from signing off on Trump's solicitation of a free jet from the royal family, even though this gift was clearly illegal. Connections to Bondi seem to yield more favorable outcomes for defendants."

I suffer context collapse everytime I see someone use MTG to talk about a particular Republican house member rather than the right and proper Magic the Gathering.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
