If you have any React-based apps, including sites using meta frameworks like Next.js, deployed somewhere, I would highly recommend checking in with your hosting providers communications around yesterday's CVE for React Server Components and get your libraries updated.

I fully believe that using AI to help generate code *can* have an educational component to it. before, many would just try random things from stackoverflow until something worked. scale is different, but these feel oddly similar to me.

I feel like I found some hack by going to the south austin optimist club tree lot instead of the main one near UT same amount of trees, similar prices, less crowds

Can I let you in on a little secret? Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity. It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

this is so big for Astros fans, we can finally get almost all the games without using MLB TV with a VPN or paying for $$$ Fubo www.schnplus.com I may get back to watching Astros in the background next year

A critical vulnerability was recently disclosed in React Server Components (RSC), impacting multiple versions of React, Next.js and other RSC-based frameworks. This flaw could allow malicious actors to execute arbitrary code within an affected application. 🧵

apparently my listening age is 18 so I got that going for me

When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

Catholics aren’t Christians sounds like something he learned at Baylor

"We found that 75% of executives believe their company is already employee-centric--but only 23% of individual contributors agree." Yow! https://hbr.org/2025/11/leaders-assume-employees-are-excited-about-ai-theyre-wrong

a little help needed: epinephrine havers and users, if I was getting my first auto injectable ever, would you recommend having the name brand for ease of use or would I be fine with the generic? key point: I hate needles.

Immigrants are fucking great. We are worse off both socially and economically without them. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I honestly don't talk about it enough. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by them as members of my family, friends, coworkers, and community.

I’m not coping with the cold weather well in Austin, but the first tortilla soup of the season helps

I’m sure this won’t have any negative consequences in 5 to 10 years.

Good piece here. Similar thoughts in ways to what @harrisalexc.bsky.social reported on earlier in hurricane season. AI/ML in weather forecasting is not the AI slop that’s taking over everything else. These tools under care of a human will play big and important roles in science going forward.

and I’m glad we won’t have to find out

Black Friday reminder: You can support independent bookstores and get great deals without lining the pockets of billionaires 😌

I'm sure people will handle this information properly and not say that ChatGPT had a breach. people will read the details and not say stuff like, you shouldn't be paying for ChatGPT. (it wasn't ChatGPT, it was the OpenAI API frontend)

such an incredible show. always in awe of david byrne’s brain. 10/10 would see again. my only photo since they asked to limit photos.

I hung out with a bot while touching grass! and went to a nursery to buy plants, baked a pie, and trimmed pottery. and now going to see David Byrne.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

i got tired of "how to read more" advice from people who are book critics and don't own tvs and live in monasteries with no wifi, so here is some advice from someone with a terminal case of internet brain www.shesabeast.co/how-to-read-...

new Catholic childhood guilt just dropped

These are just zombie statistics. Tech is rife with it. Every industry focused "research report" acts like its sample is a census, and it creates wild estimates with no regard for generalizability, representation, or context for claims. And honestly unfortunately a lot of researchers participate

I really hope everyone gets to touch some grass today because this site is already too much before 10am today lol

this is some grade A bullshit: www.doi.gov/pressrelease... annual park pass was already $80! you didn’t invent this! and if Trump is on my pass, I swear I will lose my shit. in a video they quote Teddy Roosevelt a bunch and honestly, he’d be rolling in his grave for what they’ve done to the parks.

I keep seeing some version of this when it comes to AI-generated code related stats being shared and I am just begging people to dig deeper. I saw folks on here share a stat that says, "AI-generated code contains 322% more security vulnerabilities." And I'm like okay, what's the source on this? 🧵

what I really need AI to do is go give my 20+ snowflake sql file names proper names that aren't just the data/time. 🫣 I'm on day one of requiring myself to name them on creation. please send thoughts and prayers.

A Muslim activist tried to tell Texas education leaders about a growing wave of Islamophobia. Some of them called her a terrorist. A dispatch from the front line of the battle to Christianize public schools:

was literally researching which Brother printer to buy yesterday. a month ago when my realized inkjet printer of over a decade was out of ink (again), I did the math and pretty sure I printed like five things on the last set of cartridges. 💸💸💸

finally watched One Battle After Another and while I knew it was going to be timely, I didn't expect Leo's character to be so goofy

lol this photo is even more funny after he cast a spell on trump

Not only has he never looked at Don Jr. or Eric like this, he’s never been so happy to bask in JD Vance’s presence either. He looks giddy. JOYFUL even. Is Zohran a witch

Trump feuding with Marjorie Taylor Greene but being in love with Zohran Mamdani was not on my November 2025 bingo card

never change, Houston

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

just repeating to myself: I don't hate my state, I just hate my state's elected leaders. I don't hate my state, I just hate my state's elected leaders. I don't hate my state, I just hate my state's elected leaders.

I don't want to say that I do code things as a PM to spite some people who don't believe in PMs, but I 100% do.

NEW: After fighting to keep emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and billionaire Elon Musk’s companies secret, officials have released nearly 1,400 pages of documents to The Texas Newsroom. All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

I like how these guys get to have it both ways they get to inflate the bubble via broad product misrepresentation and bogus math then dole out sage warnings about a looming problem they created as if they played no role in it

visited a bunch of studios today as part of Austin Studio Tour, better late than never. especially now with gen AI, it's a great time of the year to find local artists and crafts people and give them your money.

you mean like when Biden admin wasn't allowed to forgive student loans???

excuse me while I ride the high of finding a pair of gortex hokas in my size almost $100 off in the REI resupply just because they were used a few times

smh Texas DPS doing Texas DPS things

I know something is deeply wrong with our planet when I can wear a tank top outside on a mid-November night and not be cold. someone should look into that.

seeing technical folks using AI chat to make decisions around vendors instead of doing some investigation themselves is so painful to see. vendor eng is sometimes the whole job, do it well. for products, I hate to say it, but you're going to have to care if the data they have on you is dated.

“I’m a Grok guy” is the single most embarrassing phrase ever uttered in the course of human history.

This is academic censorship, full stop.

I recently enjoyed a fascinating conversation with theologian Lee Camp about travel as a political act, the role of faith in my life and work, the responsibility that comes with privilege, and how I approach life as a celebrity. Check it out on Lee's public radio show & podcast, No Small Endeavor:
