"That was the whole point of the event. It had nothing to do with improving our national security and military readiness. It was a role-play session for undeserving straight, white guys who could never hack it and resent those who could."

Violence: Not even close to a fascist regime Popular mobilization: Not remotely Extreme nationalism: Weak beer compared to fascist regimes Dictatorial leadership: They wish Militarism: Nope (unless you just got drafted) Personality cult: Check Scapegoating: Check

You can't "cure" #autism.- it's not a disease! We are making progress in acceptance and support and now that's all being thrown away as mothers are blamed and people are stigmatized. wapo.st/4gNUxZc

Yes. But this still smacks of a battle of the elites, despite the fact that one of the camps of elites is advocating for the masses and the marginalized. What do we do about THAT? Their engagement is decisive

I’m on an ep coming soon, on agentic AI. I GOT OPINIONS

Friday news dump tropes aside, I'm kind of curious how this list of Global Systems Integrator (GSI) stocks will look one week from now.

Yes, they are. They are also susceptible to half measures!

Also: not an organization

For the record, I abhor the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and abhor all political violence. Hard stop. There may be more to say tomorrow about the MAGA retribution that is gaining steam, but for today, I really do pray for Kirk's family and for the repose of his soul. Judgment is God's alone.

If you’re interested, @hammerspace.com is livestreaming in a moment. Watch it on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/video/live/u.... @techfieldday.com also streams it, and our sister company @techstronggroup.bsky.social #AIIFD3

I’m at @techfieldday.com’s AI Infrastructure Field Day … @broadcom.bsky.social presenting. In two slides, how they do data center–to-DC(-to-DC) networking for large-scale applications and services. Pretty impressive

Memories

We sadly cannot make people see the multiple orders of magnitude differences in cost to address things from a humanitarian approach versus and military when they only view the world in how does this generate a profit and benefit me.

With all due respect to Eniko and her groundbreaking work, my company's paper fortuneteller is the future where her magic 8-ball is the past. We have already entered negotiations for it to be used in place of therapy and mental health crisis hotlines. We're asking a paltry 2 trillion in investment.

Shocking

Spicy Jim!

Feel like one political party kidnapping an opponent should be bigger news

PopUp Mainframe is a way to emulate z/OS application runtimes outside of the production mainframes themselves. Which sounds simple enough. But what starts off looking like a useful emulator, before you know it is implementing CI/​CD for the mainframe #TFDx #SHARECleveland2025

Nowabouts at @techfieldday.com today now, we have PopUp Mainframe presenting on a way to solve the expense of mainframe dev with a little compliant CLOUD action www.linkedin.com/video/live/u... #TFDx #ShareCleveland2025

It makes sense to me that APM on mainframes may have languished, if for different reasons. @broadcom.bsky.social’s Petr Klomfar says that because of the commoditization of compute, “We have let our guard down” in mainframe APM. On standard infrastructure I think it’s for much different reasons

You can’t put the letters A and I in front of a @techfieldday.com crew without a lot of nit-pickety comments and questions (especially from @stevendickens3.bsky.social) www.linkedin.com/video/live/u...

Starting up now—@techfieldday.com at SHARE Cleveland. Mainframes are critical, highly reliable infrastructure and processing we all rely on, mostly without knowing it. Up first: @broadcom.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/video/live/u... #SHARECleveland2025 #TFDx

I have no idea what is happening here but it is the best thing I’ve seen today!

I am really alarmed and worried about this particular development, which certainly is the worst instance yet of the mobification of the U.S. government. But this is not the end of Colbert. It is the end of The Late Show. Colbert and his people will find a new platform. That said, … 1/2

lol. I assume The Right Kind of Women only, eh. Anyway, this shit doesn't work and never has.

As a member of this grown-ass adult group of long standing, I validate this. Jeong is 100% right. Also, my fellow GADs have FOMO on the fictional drama and excitement in the socials and fake news, and the confidence of their privilege to cosplay. @radiofreetom.bsky.social wrote a book about it

The antipathy for the Department of Education is the most enduring relic of the cause that birthed the modern GOP: not having to go to school with Black people.

Shot and chaser. Read them both

The world has far outpaced my inherent propensity towards underestimation

Let me just say, experts do not form a CLASS. The notion is absurd. But this dude is full of some bullshit, let me tell you. He says it, and his clerks write it for him

Yep. Also? It's extremely common for folks to conflate education/knowledge with intelligence when those are not the same thing AT ALL.

And it represents the whole problem with AI, not kidding

Happy father's day to the daddies, zaddies, everybody who fathered for a father who wasn't there, everybody who fathered themselves.

This is absolutely required reading for anyone who wants to understand what generative #AI actually is H/t @jeffsharlet.bsky.social, @djangowexler.bsky.social, and @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

I like this place

What happens when you make a sniveling worm feel important? Do you get a nicer, humble person? Do you get a person with self-respect? Do you get someone who remembers what he has to be grateful for? NO! You get a vicious bully. You get Marco Rubio.

Two-post thread that nails it. I do not support any sentiment that amounts to “I have a right to hold a position of power and never to be scolded by anyone I think I am helping”

First experience with #abusiveAI. Calling out aimco.agency for this bullshit. To be clear, this is HUMAN fault, human disrespect, human ignorance. Read on for details. 1/6

Helpful for one and all. Not actually about grace or aplomb—that’s just an attractive turn of phrase. It’s about handling getting fired to everyone’s best benefit
