Anyone here live in the Bay Area and do chainmail work? I have an increasingly dire bracelet situation.

#hugops to @github.com

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.

"We are so hungry for conflict that we turn something as boring as Wikipedia into a part of the culture war." If you saw that clip of Jimmy Wales walking out of an interview, or just care at all about Wikipedia, @hankgreen.bsky.social provides some useful context. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zi0...

hire my friend!!! she is a very good engineer! she has been at this for a very long time!!!

Does someone want to try and help me match names in this project to names of local politicians in @civic.band? We’ve got 9m pages and 800 municipalities; I bet there’s some fascinating joins here

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Finally reached Hades II true ending ✨

mmmm if not bedtime, why dark outside?

I'm at #TechCrunchDisrupt2025 today and tomorrow -- come say hi!

If you’re still in line to bat, STAY IN LINE

Huh. @techcrunch.com's Disrupt doesn't seem to have an official hashtag? Weird.

Hello @postoctobrist.bsky.social long time listener first time poster. I do a thing that’s relevant to at least two of your podcasts and the more I listen to @nogodsnomayors.com the more I need to share: civic.band is the largest collection of municipal meeting data for the US and Canada.

Inspired by a chat with @bajoran.engineer at #PyTorchCon, I wrote up my thoughts about #Python as a scripting engine for apps. phildini.dev/python-in-ev... Shares appreciated, commentary welcome but if you're a jerk I'll block you 😇 Maybe of interest to @anacondainc.bsky.social as well ✨

If you have any insight, footage, or commentary about CBP staging at Coast Guard Island or anything else related to federal activity in the Bay Area, contact me securely via Signal (@misoshnik.13) or email me [email protected]

tomorrow morning!

I keep getting Google news notifications saying that federal agents have been deployed to SF, but then when I click it, I get an AI summary saying that they haven't been deployed 🙃 We truly live in a dark ages

Lex bingo: there’s someone on there blaming the ICE mobilization in the bay on people who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris

THIS IS TONIGHT! I won't be able to attend the whole time but I'll be dropping by briefly!

We wont surge san francisco is very believable when the entirety of alameda and contra costa counties are also right here soo

Hey #alamtg are we protesting this? There's only one way on or off Coast Guard Island. oaklandside.org/2025/10/22/m... #Alameda #Oakland

If you're at #PyTorchCon, I'm live-tooting all the talks I'm at over at wandering.shop/@phildini ✨

What's happening inside #alamtg that we can't hold on to a City Manager for love or money?

was talking to a bookstore proprietor today about a cool book they liked because the art has an almost 3d effect mused that "it's almost like riso printing with these blue outlines" "... wait" reader, can you guess why it looked so much like risograph printing?

I'm hearing reports that the pre-meeting memo for the ongoing incident at #AWS is just pages from the Necronomicon, can anyone confirm?

So... @civic.band runs on no AWS anywhere in the stack and is still absolutely fine. Major #hugops to @signal.org and the rest of the internet though ❤️

One of my favorite standby tabletop themes just got spicier, because I hadn't previously realized that a chunk of AWS having an outage that likely takes out your primary and backup comms could also get Signal... and do your employees still keep each other's actual phone numbers offline? #hugops

TBH props to bsky for being functional right now; barely any other services are currently managing it 😅 good luck to everyone who owns a service ✨

What _percent_ of US generals are contemplating coup right now, d’you think? 50? 80?

Motherfucker you will never be President no matter how many homeless and trans people you throw under the bus and when you die your body will be rejected by the earth

This was a good read.

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

soon she's gonna be posting memes about Rhodesia and transvestigating celebrities, i can see it from a mile away

This whole Bsky waffles crash out feels like we unmasked Jay and found it was Elon and he would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for the meddling users and their dogs.

you know what, ruby central's radio silence is on balance a preferable approach to posting "waffles" at anyone who's mad at them. congrats to bluesky on winning this week's prize for bad governance

i hope that someday we will have an asynchronous django that’s good enough we can stop using celery.

so here we are on a platform that’s 24/7 vibrating on anger, a significant portion of which is from the staff here have made themselves known to be bad messengers for the messages their community wants to hear. i don’t have the answer but an idea is a clearer separation of the client and protocol

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade. Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more. You can read the details here: pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

as we watch bluesky have yet another full-scale moderation meltdown over whether or not you're allowed to say "rip in piss" about a dead nazi podcaster, i'd like to take a moment to remind everyone who sent us death threats over cohost's moderation that you don't know how fucking good you had it

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

Just leaving this link here, no particular reason whatsoever www.dailynk.com/english/hars...

had no idea about this until just now? upsetting!

In this post, does anyone know what “mini-iterative RPGs from Asia” means? Google didn’t return anything useful from search permutations

LET SHE WHO HAS NEVER NUKED TOSTITOS QUESO AND EATEN IT STRAIGHT FROM THE JARVWITH CHEAP ASS TORTILLA CHIPS DURING A DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL CAST THE FIRST STONE

Hey #Django fam do I Know anybody at Zest Health? They've got some jobs I'm interested in and are apparently a django shop. Boosts appreciated!
