It finally snowed in Seattle. The thin layer won't last long, though. Rain returns as the weekend begins and warmer weather waits around the corner.

A little snow in Kirkland, Washington this morning. Will be gone in a couple hours. Stay safe morning commuters! @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social reports that interstate 90 was closed at 7am at Snoqualmie pass

Happy that @jay.bsky.team sounds happy. Hope they find someone as passionate about @bsky.app and @atprotocol.dev with the same diversity of perspectives needed to continue acting differently than the members of the dominant culture leading other tech

Hi! I'm the new Head of Communications @bsky.app. I've been watching the open social web evolve over the past couple of years. Bluesky represents what I believe the future of the internet should look like: built on principles that put people first.

It's been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as Jay's COO. She is a rare human who sees a more hopeful future and leads with integrity, grace, and wisdom. I can't wait to see how she continues to change the world as Bluesky's CIO.

It took the White House about 8 days to get to: actually high gas prices are awesome.

Not the alley-oop streak! :) Or is it allez-oup?

‘The survey was in the field before the wild volatility in the oil market, but even then, 49% of voters said the war “will make my life more difficult” compared to just 10% who said they’d see an improvement.’

Rep. Lieu calls for a new investigation into Epstein’s death after released documents show a prison guard responsible for checking on him deposited $5000 into her account 10 days before his death and googled him right before he was found. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

Making work from home the default would put a real dent in carbon emissions from commuting

Unemployment is up, consumer prices are up, lawlessness by the federal government is up, sadism is up, folly is up, so is stupidity. And Donald Trump imagines he should be deciding Iran’s next leader and can simply demand “unconditional surrender.”

🚨 Big news for the littlest New Yorkers: 2-K is coming.   Starting this year, we’re delivering 2,000 FREE child care seats for 2-year-olds across our city.   By Fall 2027, we'll be ready to serve 12,000 kids.   Grateful to our partner in this work, @governor.ny.gov, for her support.

Tonight I broke fast with the NYPD Muslim Officers Society, and the family of late Detective Didarul Islam.   For many officers, Ramadan means breaking fast alone on patrol. Tonight, we came together for iftar, and to remember Detective Islam. His commitment to this city will never be forgotten.

Happy Holi, New York City! Growing up, Holi was more than a celebration of spring – it was a chance to embrace joy & revel with family. It's been a long winter & spring is much anticipated. I wish New York City's Hindu communities an extra colorful Holi – may the warmth come soon enough.

BREAKING: The increase in the average U.S. gas prices over the last 7 days is now in the top 10 largest weekly increases ever recorded at 41.6c/gal, according to live GasBuddy data

Congrats to the team @tangled.org!

I need to try this!

Hey folks, any content designers or design systems people who contract, I’m trying to get a picture of the state of the market at the moment. Are you finding roles more or less prevalent than usual right now? And are rates lower, about the same, or higher than what you’re used to? DM me if easier

Hive mind! My partner has fairly extensive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and is meant to wear hearing aids but found the NHS ones very uncomfortable. We’re looking at private options, and I’m wondering if anyone in my network has any recommendations?

Black Linguistics nerd here! President Barack Obama’s eulogy for Rev Jesse Jackson is a code-switching masterclass. If you know what you’re listening for, you can hear President Obama toggling back-and-forth between so-called Standard English and AAVE, based on crowd engagement. I love being Black‼️

Former President Barack Obama will always be the best orator of our time in my eyes. He simultaneously cracks jokes while honoring Rev. Jesse Jackson in the most heartfelt way.

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

Former President Barack Obama on Rev. Jesse Jackson: "He was talking about everyone who was left out, everyone who was forgotten, everyone who was unseen, everyone who was unheard, and in that sense, he was expressing the very essence of what our democracy should be." Preach!

It emerges that the trigger event for the abrupt closure of the El Paso airport was the US military shooting down the US Border Patrol’s drone. apnews.com/article/mili...

Whatever comes with success…

Julian Champagnie finished with 26 pts on 10/14 shooting, going 6/9 from three, as well as a team high 3 steals to go with 2 blocks in 24 mins. This was Champagnie's 8th game of the season with 20 or more points.

Through 59 games, the Spurs are on pace for 57.9 to 59.7 wins. The Spurs are now within 1.5 games of OKC for the best record out West.

#SotB26 "Lessons from Building for the Bottom of the Web"by @mikehall314.bsky.social is next. A fascinating deep dive of a project that necessitated a 128kb limit to all page content over the wire + including images! A good reminder to respect the users time and bandwidth.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war. Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East. No war with Iran.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
