For the next two weeks we will be fundraising for our winter ministry project … consider partnering with our local ministry in providing grocery gift cards for the community venmo.com/u/solomon-MI...

I watched Yarvin’s Sheldonian lecture. What struck me is that he’s describing real institutional failures, but he completely misdiagnoses the cause. He treats “democracy” as the problem, when the actual collapse is upstream.

One of the greatest things anyone has ever said to me was to explain that when you randomly decide to pick up a rock it’s because the rock has decided it wants to travel. It gives me joy to ponder.

Ok, so now that I only have 20 minutes left to work my brain wants to get busy 😭

I refuse to read the Nuzzi fluff piece

Wow this is amazing

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Back in the 1900s we used to mock phrenology as quack science

Would love to see a law that taxes stock grants above a threshold to be taxed at 90% or more

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Imagine if tech companies felt obligated to create good products for their customers/users

The vibes are excellent tonight

So looks like I’m on the job hunt again😅 Right now, I’m looking for contract/pt work since I have another really huge “project” in the works right now🤭 If you know of any contract/pt roles in dev marketing, technical writing, or dev education, please send them my way! Please repost and boost!💜💜

I always thought the torment nexus metaphor was extremely clear and couldn’t be misunderstood, but now I know better

I wish the super note turned on as fast as an ipad

You see this @ianlandsman.com

Throw your money in this here incinerator, techbros, I swear you’ll get more out afterwards

I predict the ballroom will be tastefully architected and won’t look like a monstrosity in the massive void where the east wing was

I find myself debating whether I upgrade to an M5 and give money to a company that donated to build the Epstein Ballroom and also can’t design a UI worth a crap Or try Linux on desktop for the first time in many years Or just keep what I’ve got now (M1 with 16gb ram)

Might we evaluate the fitness of a future senator by their judgement? Even if every excuse were true, keeping a nazi tattoo shows a staggering lack of judgement.

Finally got around to processing some moon shots, not bad, though needs some work on framing and splicing

please help foone, who has given us all so much joy over the years

Basically, if these companies are successful at paying back their investments, they'll need to harvest double-digit percentages of every Western worker's paycheque. And if not, well, this is going to happen as the hardware depreciates faster than it's generating ROI: pracap.com/an-ai-addend...

Fun fact: Maria Colina Machado SUPPORTS Donald Trump sinking fishing boats off their coast.

The new kitten is an Agent of Chaos

“Art is no longer Swift’s priority, if it ever was. We don’t have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn’t art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people’s songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities.” Fatality

I guess i need to rtfm, because I don’t see why the bluesky app wouldn’t let you pull posts from another app view

TIL on the st tng blu ray set, there’s an extended 57 minute episode of Measure of a Man where data is on trial for his status as living or property

Some personal news

So it turns out atproto has some large fundamental flaws, huh?

Aside: between woodworking and astrophotography, I never need to worry about having enough ideas to spend discretionary budget

TFW you get wrapped up in one hobby (woodworking) and miss that tonight was a great night for another hobby (astrophotography) and get mad about it

What’s the bluesky biz model? If they want to push their user base away to self host other communities are they going to charge subscription fees? I thought everything is open source?

This is fun and memorable

If you are in leadership and are cultivating a toxic, antagonistic relationship between your team and the users of your product, why? You’re harming your customers and poisoning your team with repugnant habits.

I need an eject seat for my computer desk if I sit down without an agenda + checklist

Me earlier tonight: everyone fell asleep early, I am going to get some stuff done *two hours later* Crap I guess I only have time to shower and go to bed *one hour later* Fuuuuuuuuu…

Can all the framework makers please out themselves?

Hey, can you all do me a big favor? My childhood friend Chris recently found out he has terminal cancer. He has two daughters. One of them, Alivia, wants to go see Alex Warren with her dad in Columbus, Ohio. If you know someone in his orbit, send it to him. If you don’t, please share this post. ❤️

Honestly I’m surprised no one has forked rails and built an ecosystem of subscription infrastructure around it like laravel did Literally millions of dollars on the table for someone with the right skillset so many like me would jump from the rails ship so fast

Wtf is “full blown autism”?

ok i'm finally starting the atproto longread. i want a better sense of what's been happening on the network. what are most exciting projects in the ecosystem and why? i want to mention a few at the end. interested not just in "atproto apps" but things that showcase the atproto spirit

My 9yo updated his iPad to iPadOS 26. Please send him positive thoughts during this difficult time.

One fun thing about customer support is that you can hear a customer clearly and know exactly what problem they are experiencing.. and be wrong lol

✅ collimation ✅ clear skies ✅ mosquito repellent Just gotta wait for nightfall 😅

Me suddenly remembering I used to leave my phone on my desk during the evenings at home 😭

I didn’t know about this!

Autocorrect: let me change the valid word you typed into something else. You’re welcome! Also autocorrect: I have no idea what “ptoblem” was supposed to be. Sorry!

I’ve been contemplating buying a second supernote device. Trying out using the app while using the manta in the meantime to see if I can mimic what I want A plus so far is jumping between notes on the Mac app is much faster

No, I don’t want an ai summary of this email. I want to know exactly how my customers talk about things!
