NIST's time services going down is less about "oh no things are going to break" (we are very resilient to muti-second drift even if people didn't have backups like GPS) and more about "oh no this is a crucial service we are being reminded has multiple underfunded and vulnerable chokepoints"

The 2016 election cycle was a decade ago. Lay it off. Also, Bill and Hillary seem to have come to some sort of understanding about their domestic situation, and it’s really none of our business.

How bad has 2025 been? We broke time.

Remember the blue haze that used to be in every indoor sports photo? Cigarette smoke. boxlifemagazine.com/cigarette-sm...

It's the weekend, baby

Sunset on America. #photography

The FBI apparently puts up signs with letters at each room when they do large searches… they ran out of signs at Epstein's and had to hand write some of them.

What's up with rich people and their terrible interior design?

Wrote a thing about my old boss, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, why her story is so American, and why it makes the Right so stupid mad. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Oh so that's where those crazy percentage cut things are coming from… …is this that common core stuff they are teaching the kids now? /s

Am I the only one who can parse the difference between: 1. people with disabilities, visible, or invisible, who require accessibility services to make something accessible, and 2. people who abuse accessibility services? Both of those groups are real, and the latter directly harms the former.

wow that was stupid but i guess at least he didn’t declare war with venezuela

Jen Psaki is trying so hard not to laugh…

Ooh… look at who came to visit. An opossum! #UrbanWildlife

This wasn't the kind of electric car we've been asking for…

ONE BILLION CALIFORNIANS

AMERICA'S DRIVE FOR VICTORY! SECURE THE RESOURCES! BUY WAR BONDS! SUPPORT THE SOUTHERN CAMPAIGN. #AIArt #AIGenerated

Wtf is "Nano Banana Pro"?

I might have just had Gemini write me a draft speech from a hypothetical vice president announcing that he is assuming power from a president that can no longer execute the duties of the office. We can fantasize, can't we? Isn't that what AI is for?

Fascinating read. Definitely is a case study on "hierarchical" vs. "egalitarian" thinking/mindset… always fascinating to learn about how other people think.

People often take issue when I say “we.” But I think it’s important to phrase it that way. This isn’t what I want. It’s not what I voted for. But this is what’s being done in our name. It’s we.

Everyone seems to want a unicorn… I'm more of a mule.

Birthright citizenship under the common law, a thread: I have done this many times on social media, in print, and in media interviews, but not to be accused of taking others’ not seriously enough, by plainly stating the law and history of birthright citizenship, I’m taking the time here:

The RFK, jr effect.

One of the many, many reforms we have to make after all of this is to make it impossible for the executive branch to withhold federal funding mandated by congress. I know there many hurdles and impeachment is the proper recourse, but we've seen the limits of that. Something must be done.

Wait… katy perry and justin trudeau are an item now?

Who'd have thought…

Unions should advocate fair work rules and that employers follow those rules. If you sexually harass a customer, you should be fired. That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be appropriate due process.

It’s gonna be hilarious if, come November 2026, California is the only actually successful partisan gerrymander.

Mr DIY seems to have fixed the issue with the dryer that made the whole place turn in to a steam room every time it was run.

Thank you LinkedIn and/or Google Chrome Team for fixing whatever was generating an infinite number of pages when you went to print (to PDF) a LinkedIn job posting.

In terms of what to do with the mess Trump and Co. have made of DHS:

I went grocery shopping without my AirPods. Bad idea… needed like an hour to recover from that.

Surprised it wasn't Rancho Peñasquitos.

Seeing disaster relief supplies emblazoned with “USAID From The American People” being distributed was one of the things I was proudest about being an American.

It’s annoying that carmakers treat this as a “luxury” feature, e.g. Honda only participating with its Acura brand.

Oh lovely, the dryer vent isn't connected.

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

I suspect there is significant overlap on the venn diagram for "services likely to experience a data breach" and "services that store unvalidated email addresses in their database indefinitely".

That feeling when you finally get the SQL incantation right and the query planner spits out what you want. 😇 And yes, it did involve CTEs.

Ooh. Hot links and rockstar for brunch.

Jeeze. Any non-natural death is a critical incident.

Naked racism.

This PGRouting import script is running much faster now that it isn't adding an additional index for each file…

Cursed: powdered Budweiser concentrate.

When you accidently overwrite a 10GB data file…

Caltrans should remove any of these that are found on state property.

Now that’s power projection. There are quite a few other European militaries that would be hard pressed to carry out such an operation.
