Pollinators at our community garden: such fluffy giant bees!

New blessing just dropped today! 😭 🙏🏽 github.blog/changelog/20...

Partly cloudy with a chance of rapture.

L’shanah Tovah, friends. Have a sweet and hopeful new year 🍎🍯

Butterfly and bees.

In these trying times it’s important to still celebrate the good days. And there is no better day than New Bike Day.

Yesterday, @joelaha.bsky.social & I walked the High Line. Great re-use of rail infrastructure! www.thehighline.org

Fun time at the Jet Lag All Stars live show with @joelaha.bsky.social. (We all go to NYC for @nebula.tv premieres, right?😹)

Central Park with family (actual humans, not the pictured geese) and then the delightful littlemorenyc.com for refreshment after a day of walking.

Empire State.

Thank you so much @ilhanmn.bsky.social for standing against transphobia in the DFL!

Pollinator joy, as rain looms. 🐝🌸🌦️

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

The order directs the Minnesota Department of Health to work with other state agencies to identify, review and remove barriers to vaccine access to the “fullest extent permitted by law.”

I really liked this, and not just because it helped us win. Encouraging documentation is good!

No better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than at Lambeau Field with my brother watching the Packers beat up on the Lions. #gopackgo

On the road again (Wisconsin edition).

*paperboy chants* COVID VACCINE, get your COVID-19 VACCINE!!

Today @joelaha.bsky.social and I got our new-formula Covid & flu shots (CVS downtown Minneapolis!), lifted weights with our personal trainer, and got even more veggies out of our garden. (For mysterious cat reasons, Nimoy is unimpressed with everything we did today!)

Looking for an interesting conversation to round out your week? @lachie.bsky.social talked with Mo Khan about where #Kubernetes auth is going and how you can get involved! www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0uR...

Butterflies enjoying a Minnesota garden at summer's end.

Went to the Minnesota State Fair with @joelaha.bsky.social. Such butter sculpture. Much crop art. Visited @wiredferret.bsky.social's prize-winning jacket and hat!

Ripley would like to lend a (giant) paw, if you could use one.

Today is hard (evergreen).💔 I can’t offer much, but here is a bee who was busy pollinating our community garden.

Interested in the upstream Kubernetes ecosystem? @lachie.bsky.social is hosting a new conversation series where he chats with an Azure colleague about exciting new topics in K8s! In the first episode, he discusses AI-aware Kubernetes infrastructure with Jack Francis! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G-z...

Well, I guess it's preseason for the instant review crews as well. #gopackgo

Enjoying the delightful new "No Brains, No Lightbulbs" podcast from @triviamafia.com. Chuck and Sean! Interesting guests! Fascinating trivia! www.triviamafia.com/podcast

Kitties would like to meet the bunny that did this. @joelaha.bsky.social says, “If you’re gonna eat it, at least finish it!”

For anyone who wants to make a contribution in Jeff’s name, donations may be made to Black Girls Code, an organization whose mission is aligned with Jeff’s passions: www.wearebgc.org The family also welcomes donations of support through the family’s GoFundMe page: gofund.me/fd1a9c10

Scott's message resonates deeply. @joelaha.bsky.social & I just watched this and kept saying, "yes, this exactly".

🐈‍⬛ Takes our cats to the vet 💕 Creates video tribute for his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary 🌱 Seeks happiness with me by lifting weights & riding bikes & gardening & traveling the world I love & am loved; @joelaha.bsky.social looks great to me! Him being all adamantium & steroids would be silly!😹

Somewhere under the rainbow, gold birds fly…

For those who are about difficult hardware #virtualization efficiency and dev experience (WTF????) you might find @dblnz.dev's blog post on #hyperlight and interactive debugging interesting. It's a blast for any micro-guest, including #webassembly. opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/07...

Missed this: very good article by @thenewstack.io on a @rejekts.io talk prior to #kubeconEU about #hyperlight and #webassembly in #envoy. Slow as a first draft; but getting faster and makes hostile multitenant #networkfunctions possible to imagine. thenewstack.io/webassembly-...

Happy 4th of July Minnesota! There are no kings in America, and we’re going to keep it that way.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

All of this. “Oh, I am famous in an extremely small niche that cares a lot about cgroups and namespaces” is legit hilarious. But also, try being kind! “Hello, $name! Tell me about what you’re interested in right now! Nice to chat with you!” works whether or not you retain a single word they said. ✨

Five pounds of kitty meets twenty pounds of strawberries.

To me, this is the most remarkable thing about global health: With a relatively small amount of money, you can do a great deal of good for a great many people. This is money well spent, and we should go back to spending it—now.

The facts are simple and devastating: Aid cuts have already cost lives, and the number of deaths will continue to rise. Here’s the evidence. ​

Kitties do not care about the long weekend but I bet they will be happy that I will spend zero time talking aloud with invisible people while ignoring the kitties’ attempts to catch my cursor. However, this does mean I may try to sit in their spots…😹

Like @scott.hanselman.com points out, this is not "half of the humans in Murica hopes the poors just die". What we see here is because of racist bullshit voter suppression and extreme privilege plus pearl-clutching incompetence (yo, newsflash, nazi oligarchs do not give a shit about supposed norms).

Went to Lake Country.

Blue sky in Minnesota.

A bee friend visits after the rain.

...and we see in an old-timey flashback the moment when she sells her soul to protect her family. But her parents in the flashback are not the parents we see in the scenes set in modern times. It is never explained who these people are; it bothers me every time I watch it. youtu.be/ZebKhabJItE?...

Question of the day: I'm watching the MST3K episode "The Touch of Satan". In the movie, a drifter encounters a young woman and her family. The girl turns out to be (spoilers for a 54 year old movie and a 27 year old ep of MST3K) a 140 year old witch who has sold her soul to Satan...
