I don't put a lot of CTA's out but I'm asking for help on this one. Missouri has a couple tools to fight the republicans here trying to steal congressional seats from left wing voices in the state and permanently make it ruby red. But we need help. Please donate or spread the word!

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

you cannot be disparaged by your own words... people cannot attack you with your own ideas if ones words are repeated and they are viewed unfavorably that is not a reflection of the one who repeats it is a reflection of the author

Kansas City (and Jackson County) had its single democratic rep stolen by the republican party state dictatorship yesterday and it hardly made the news. To turn our district red, republicans redistricted KC residents to share a representative with people who live 3 hours away.

Let me say what the President won't: Domestic violence is not okay. It's immoral, illegal and abusive, and no real man is okay would do it, approve of it, or minimize it.

AND IT WAS A SCORIGAMI?!

A week one game has no business being as wild as this Bills/Ravens game has been

Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

This is too soon, I still haven’t come to terms with Mass Romantic turning 20

If you understand what software engineering as a career actually entails (lots of people and organizational problems, understanding legacy code and tradeoffs) you are at a career advantage over those who understand the job as just producing code. Those jobs could be replaced. But that ain’t the job

A few days ago we noticed a nest of baby birds hidden behind a wreath in our door. Last night they were out of the nest sitting on the wreath. This morning the nest was empty. But don’t worry, this isn’t causing me to project any feelings about my own kids growing up AT ALL.

The plugin design tools for @usetrmnl.com are pretty great. I was able to build my first plugin on a virtual device while waiting for the hardware to arrive. Can't wait to actually see it!

The habaneros aren’t doing very well this year. This is all we’ve got so far, barely enough for a spoonful of hot sauce

Wait, no not like that

Why did they call him Muad'Dib and not Mouse Atreides?

My zsh start time got bad enough after upgrading to Sequoia that I finally had to debug it. Zprof didn't help so I just commented out things in .zshrc. Found gimme trying to exclude one of its directories from Time Machine backups and that command was taking 11 seconds! github.com/travis-ci/gi...

me after I finally finish some incredibly minor task that I’ve been avoiding for no good reason

wow, this bluebird box product page goes hard

Why doesn’t the built in iOS voice memos have an app in CarPlay?

Set up my own Atuin sync server running on my homelab k8s cluster docs.atuin.sh/self-hosting... and then with one extra annotation for the Tailscale operator I can access it from anywhere over my tailnet

I told you we’d be back

Very impressed with @atuin.sh desktop so far. When it was announced I didn’t understand how it related to Atuin or how it would be different from something like Jupyter. After trying it out though I realized that this was actually something I’d been wanting for a long time.

Walking the dog

What if a monarch gets installed before the board of airline pilots with magical military weapon kill-switches gets created? Oh well, I'm sure it won't be a problem.

Damn right you don’t want to catch these hands

I just learned about @jetkvm.bsky.social and would absolutely love to get one but they aren't shipping to the US until the situation is "simpler and clearer" which I assume means "these tariffs are some bs huh?"

Tariffs just got real: our first $36K bill with 125% + 20% + 25% markup hits hard 💸. These are upfront costs - due before selling a single unit - causing serious cash flow strain, price increases, read more! 📦 adafruit.com/tariffbill #tariffs

Big thank you to Ali @velshi.com for giving me a healthy chunk of air time to explain the Econ 101 of bilateral trade deficits. It matters because this is the intellectual foundation for the President's trade war.

This is pretty great. Within seconds of joining we had driven off the street and onto a bike path through a park.

Gokrazy is the best. Whenever a raspberry pi sd card dies I just run a single command to flash a new card for it and it’s back to work (and on my tailscale network!) in just a few minutes gokrazy.org

This is *exactly* why the @cncf.io was created. A safe space for community and companies to come together with longitudinal guarantees of stability and fair ground rules. There are no backsies. @synadia.bsky.social? @derekcollison.bsky.social? This is not ok. www.cncf.io/blog/2025/04...

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

My watch estimated my average power during the race today as 177W so I guess my computer uses more energy to play video games for 2 hours than it takes me to run a half-marathon

Went for a bit of a jog this morning

I like going to IKEA so I can pretend I’m in Europe and part of a functioning democracy.

You all said Mr. President would fully shit his pants but he only shit 3/4 of his pants. You all look pretty stupid now, don’t you?

brb, just telling my corporate board that given the extraordinary certainty in this new business environment, we ought to invest billions.

Oh wow, this road is paved with good intentions. We must be going somewhere nice!

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Literally the only feature I want in the next version of iOS is a setting to make Siri ask for confirmation before making a phone call.

Bloom filters are the most honest data structures because they say “this probably works and that’s good enough” which is likely true of many other things more often than we’d like to admit

Graber’s shirt — which directly copies the style of a shirt that Zuckerberg wore onstage recently — says Mundus sine caesaribus. Or, “a world without Caesars.”

TIL that WSL can run Linux GUI apps on Windows automatically without any kind of remote desktop setup. Not sure if I'd have a use for that but it's pretty cool

This includes the line “[Roko’s Basilisk] is maybe best understood as Pascal’s wager for losers” which made me laugh out loud in a very quiet cafe.

RIP George Lowe, the voice of Space Ghost, a show that emitted a specially tuned frequency to my 12-year-old self. "I'm driving down Highway 40 in my big ol' pickup truck, Katie," in a Tom Brokaw impression still rattles around in my head all of the time for no reason.
