I bumped into Pauly Shore at the Burbank IKEA in like 1998. The most notable (comedic even) thing in this story is that I remember it.

Raspberry vines and misc. trees trying to blossom here. Saw caterpillars hatched and crawling across the trail out on a run. It's the warmest December yet!

Just like SpaceX, every crash is an exciting opportunity to learn!

This is a REALLY good show with really well mixed audio. You get the great new album plus an hour and a half more from their 45(?!) years’ catalog depth. How Jason Cooper drums this whole bangin set is beyond me.

What do you think robust open online safety tools should be? Contribute to @roost.tools ‘s new roadmap on GitHub!

Given the ambiguously broad phrasing apparently "...sent to all U.S. missions..." there is quite possibly a fresh and broad swath of people involved in certain aspects of open source software development which won't be able to get a visa to attend an open source software conference.

This is great! One note for reader: This shouldn’t be either/or. Run both and do a blinded comparison of what your builder says you build and what your scanner says you build. Critical to optionally run without your scanner seeing the builder’s SBOM in the comparison, lest it naively trust in it.

Do I know anybody who is or who knows a Napoli fan in Naples?

The Cocteau Twins recorded Frosty The Snowman?!!?

I’m seeing this too! And their support lines seem swamped like others are discovering it too. 🤦

I see a lot of Paidchecks on X didn’t realize that a whole lot of people on social media lie about their location to grift off the naïveté of the rage-addled American right. Turns out this problem is real and it’s a thing those of us who worked on “disinformation” pointed out.

Hazel started telling me this morning that this beautiful gal was trying to decide if we are the best local source of chicken nuggets. Took a while for me to spot the owl finally this afternoon(?!) in the walnut tree. Hoping it moves on or focuses on the rodent population.

Last night: Neighbor Paul dropped with a dozen pounds of chanterelles straight out of the #Oregon forest.

NYTime Pitch Bot: “Woke farmers resist bringing 100x more US grown coffee to market despite 6+ months of market incentives”

Yikes indeed! Imagine if Congress were to legislate into existence a part of the government to manage these systems and risks and ensure hiring and retention of expert staffing for such an agency...

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

This sound should give pause to the ICE/CBP new hires, the police/natguard/mil types “just following orders”, the judges and elected/appointed officials who have abandoned the Constitution and rule of law. But let’s be real. It probably won’t yet. This sound must keep getting louder.

USDA put money in my bank account last week. It is clearly not that hard.

Government has published one of those quiet but important documents that might get overlooked as it is not 'newsy'. The headline finding is that £1 of public R&D investment generates £8 in net economic benefits for the UK over the long term www.gov.uk/government/p...

There is no shutdown. We are just learning to see the new operating model.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

Add to the list of the fascinating points around getting fired from federal government service in February, them then deciding they didn’t fire me, also not allowing me to work, and continuing to pay me: The latest (pay period 20) check direct deposited into my bank account last night.

chartering a prop plane to fly in circles around dc with a banner that reads “what about the anti deficiency act”

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

Today in 1893 there was a soccer match played at what is now Providence park. Thanks to @davidinastoria.bsky.social for finding it. portland.daveknows.org/2010/08/16/f... #RCTID #BAONPDX

As us-east1 adds to it's history of outages. Just a gentle reminder that we solved multi-region A/B clustering many moons ago.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

Man, Chicago is such a war zone they had to have a marathon today.

It's gonna fuck him up if he finds out we have a store called Mr. Plywood.

So many thoughts. So many con men. Much swamp.

What's the statute of limitations on poisoning a minor? Can we sue our parents for giving us Tylenol?

Happy 99th birthday to Multnomah Stadium / Civic Stadium / PGE Park / Jeld-Wen Field / Providence Park! I REALLY hope that the Timbers are able to have a home game on the 100th anniversary. That's a Friday which would be unusual, but I think it should still happen

She's Canadian, you wouldn't know her.

Dearest Martha, Confined to bed of a morning where rain shrouds this war ravaged Portland. Well before dawn our premises was invaded by weekly milk delivery service. After making a latte and beginning to sip it under a blanket, an animal of feline disposition detained me. Movement now ill advised.

Portland is the same or worse they’re saying. And yet I have lived and worked in Portland for over two decades and somehow I have been assaulted less often than Rand Paul in his own neighborhood by his own neighbors.

Dearest Martha, It is with trepidation that I look upon the coming day in this war ravaged Portland. I fear today’s planned actions will inevitably require more than one trip to The Home Depot. The chicken coop door shall bend to the power of regular maintenance. Fear must not prevail.

Dearest Martha, Today I laboriously traversed war ravaged Portland in an valiant effort to attend a backyard homebrewfest. Having tendered a keg of mine own fresh hopped hard apple cider, twas decided we would make for the public stadium to observe enemy movements. Our defenses allowed two goals.

his father was unavailable for comment

The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors

Bond investors fucking idiots

If anybody I know in Europe gets into the Radiohead ticket sale...buy an extra and I'll come visit 😱

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Alyssa Naeher with what appears to be her pro career first goal scored. Wasn't a Michelle Betos level goal, but it was a goal against S**tle, so there's that...

Let's be generous, here, and assume that by the solar system Altman wants to put the sphere outside the orbit of Neptune, and we'll just exclude the kuiper belt entirely. That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles. Let's assume that it has the thickness of an eggshell: .3mm thick.

Was it Fory’s birthday? Did coach and team game plan for him to get a goal? Anybody have stats? Seems like he led the team the second half in touches, cramps, & longing looks at the bench, while Antony ran back and forth to cover attack, mid, and defense and few balls went to Mora & Da Costa? #rctid

Is NPR’s Ari Shapiro one of the commentators for this @timbers.com game on Apple/MLS?

If you think A.I. will solve your problems, you don't understand technology and you don't understand your problems.

Walking through a town with a university established in 1457 focused on theology, philosophy, medicine, and law and which later adopted the motto "The truth will set you free" (from the bible) and expanded into technical research and the broader artes liberales...A hotbed of wokeness.
