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.

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.

I let a goat from my local zoo run SQL commands against prod without protection and it nuked my data The comments: have you tried this other much smarter goat

Goalkeeps wow. Deutsche Torwartin Bergen wills the team advance to the semifinals

Wouldn’t this be smoother and more direct if you just gave this variable fee in cash to the agent when crossing the boarder? www.cnbc.com/2025/07/18/v...

We announced the new native Go FIPS 140-3 mode today! FIPS 140, like it or not, is often a requirement, and I was increasingly sad about large deployments replacing the Go crypto packages with non-memory safe cgo bindings. Go is now one of the easiest and most secure ways to build under FIPS 140.

Autocorrect just changed the first person pronoun “I to “ai” in a sentence for me. The machines clearly want us dead.

A great talk by @divyamohan.com and @natali.rip on a favorite topic of mine: HOW you lead matters! #OSSummit

People love to complain about a helpless baby crying on a plane, but rarely celebrate the other kid screaming “WOAH! Mom, mom, mom LOOK!” as the plane takes off and joyously marveling at the views cross country through landing.

This is one of the most irresponsible things a president has ever said.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Heads up: on 20 June, Salesforce will no longer be supporting the Kubernetes project with a free enterprise license. We will lose access to channel history older than 90 days, and will likely be forced to migrate to a new platform sometime later this year. www.kubernetes.dev/blog/2025/06...
