Shout out to @kadams54.bsky.social, speaking Nov 4 at IndyPy about Pydantic: - getting data in to and out of models - using advanced features to simplify complex data - how Pydantic has become a foundation for everything from database access to AI https://www.meetup.com/indypy/events/305589187/

Who knew that targeting Portland would be a strategic misstep?

OK, yeah… but what about throwing a sub at them?

Pretty amazing audio of an encounter between a Spirit flight (NK1300) and Air Force 1. The flight controller keeps instructing NK1300 to change course and stay away from AF1, but NK1300 isn’t paying attention.

Unexpectedly good politics from Thomas Kinkade's family! www.kinkadefamilyfoundation.org

For years I've received text messages from various North Carolina GOP and conservative groups. I live in Indiana. I've never lived in North Carolina and have no idea how my number has ended up on political SMS lists. I have ZERO sympathy for the NRSC. 🎻 daringfireball.net/linked/2025/...

Hot 🔥 pizza 🍕 takes: 1. Detroit crushes both Chicago and New York. 2. There is no better salty-and-sweet flavor combo than pineapple and bacon. Pineapple and bacon Detroit-style pizza is peak pizza.

@wired.com’s been killing it with their journalism, which led me to resubscribe earlier this year. Folks, just $2/month to support the First Amendment in action. ✊🏻🇺🇸

Does… does she not know about radar detectors, reporting speed traps in maps apps, etc.? There's a whole cottage industry built around avoiding law enforcement activities that's been going for decades.

Today’s parenting adventure: reassuring my teen that it was, in fact, ethical to take a poop 💩 break during a work shift. AMA.

My man’s out there re-inventing Wikipedia, but with more illegal pollution of Memphis, TN.

Pacers royalty. Miller and Haliburton. This is so freaking dope. Reggie getting a photo of his kids w/ Tyrese 💙💛

TJ McConnell is such a good PG and the #Pacers have an amazing 1-2 punch between him and Halliburton. Some of those defensive/offensive plays in the 2nd quarter had my jaw on the floor.

I seen Flavor Flav trending on the other place and was like I hope he’s ok 😳😒 BUT YOUR BOY IS STILL HERE,!! This is the second time I found out that I died. 🤣🤣🤣

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

“It feels amazing.” 🤩 Haliburton and the Pacers are headed to their first Finals in 25 years!

One of my favorite things to do while traveling in new cities is to explore mass transit. One summer we did a vacation to DC, NYC, Philly, and Boston. DC's metro was Kubrick-ian in its clean modern lines. Boston's was old but charming. NYC was gritty, yeah, but it fit the city's attitude.

The entrepreneur’s habit of overpromising on deadlines may be frustrating for investors—but for those looking to see whether a Musk pledge will come good, there’s a key phrase to watch out for. www.wired.com/story/theres...

More Texas parents are opting to vaccinate their babies early against measles, nearly a 4.5-fold increase so far this year compared to 2019, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Can we please get a pacers wolves finals just so Stephen a smith has to travel to two Midwest cities over and over. The play styles would be great and Minneapolis and Indianapolis are incredibly underrated cities.

IndyStar article asks, “so this is what it must have felt in the 1990s with Reggie Miller's late-game heroics?” Yes, this is EXACTLY how that felt. www.indystar.com/story/sports...

THE NBA PLAYOFFS ARE COMPLETELY UNHINGED !!! Tyrese Haliburton comes up with his own FT miss and cashes out a game winning 3 !! 🔥😱🔥😱🔥😱 Pacers are up 2-0 !!

OMG I FIGURED IT OUT UNLIKABLE? SOCIOPATHIC? PETULANT? WHINY? STEPHEN MILLER IS GROWN-UP CAILLOU

Showed my wife this meme and she said, “where’s _______ for you, get on that!” Third time’s the charm… Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Again, because I'm enjoying this meme way more than I ought to… movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

As the parent of someone on the spectrum, I know that anxiety about "how will my child make friends?" It does my heart good to know that people like Dylan are out there.

Great post on some under-appreciated features in Python: blog.edward-li.com/tech/advance...

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

This is how to talk about the Trump administration: "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.… Way to stand up to the bully." Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich are both winners as NBA coaches, but more importantly, men of virtue, willing to "stand up to the bully."

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

As someone who frequently has to context shift across multiple projects—API in one microservice, logging library in another project, UI in a third—I’ll be giving Peacock a whirl today.

Finally we can recover our stolen territory.

The second the Constitution isn’t the law of the land, there’s no longer a binding contract between the states

“They don’t view an honest discussion of policy as something they need to slow down and do.” We’re digging into the Trump team’s logic, or lack-there-of, with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social.

Keep in mind — he claims this is all being done to boost 🇺🇸 manufacturing… but Biden actually did that 👇🏽 And his tariffs are actually hurting companies that are planning factories here and making them rethink their plans, despite what he’s saying: www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

I'll say this, there were a lot of bad faith actors on the left who argued there was no meaningful difference in 2024, but the accelerationists, those folks nailed it. Congrats, I guess.

So many hundreds of thousands of words of ink, so many countless hours wasted, explaining how this man was secretly savvy, and it turns out he’s just dumb as a rock, clueless about basic economics, and driven by a malicious paranoia that conniving foreigners are ripping us off

"Is this what 2008 felt like?" No. 2008 was a crescendo of years of sub-prime mortgages laundered through faked bond ratings and derivatives trading by an army of savy, greedy people hiding what they'd done. This is one rapist felon who's killing the world in full view of everyone for fun.
