I am begging “environmentalists” to understand that building dense infill housing is one of the most environmentally friendly policies possible

Bouncing around socials to make sure my bio reflects that I'm no longer with Fleet (put in notice a few weeks ago, last day was today). On the market for either IC or tech lead duties. I'm 1-3 interviews in at a few places, which is promising.

I want to remind everyone that the president posted a picture of himself as Jesus and, when enough people complained, deleted it, saying he thought it was a picture of him as a doctor. By his own account, the best case scenario is that he's so far gone he doesn't know what a doctor is anymore

JD getting excommunicated right before his new book drops is probably too much to ask for, but that doesn't mean I can't wish for it.

ok NOW i bet Zelenskyy will thank JD Vance

Hi JD Vance. I think Nigel Farage and Reform could definitely do with your help in the May elections here

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

"No solar farms on prime farmland"? My dude, you are growing fuel corn. A single field of solar replaces several fields of fuel corn which means THERE WILL BE MORE PRIME FARMLAND to use for FOOD.

So - astonishingly - Iran has been paying attention to history, notably the Millennium Challenge exercise, which was originally an Iran war game, and in which US Marine Col. Paul van Riper, playing the baddies, handed an invading US force its hat with both its ears in it BY DOING THIS.

Senate Commerce hearing on Section 230. And, uh, this is big. Not giving him any credit, but Ted Cruz was really the first Senator to be vocally anti-230 and calling for repeal a decade ago. And here he is saying "whoa, repeal might be bad." That's big. www.commerce.senate.gov/2026/3/liabi...

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

✔️ Civic duty (primary early voting) completed ✔️ Local cookie dealer supported (4 boxes) ✔️ Milk tea cold brew ube latte thing ordered (it's tasty)

CapMetro tap to pay works as advertised. I like this. So much better than fiddling with an app and a QR code, even though the new readers are way less finicky about said QR codes.

Tapping the sign:

This creep's entire line of thought here is eugenicist trash. People are PEOPLE. You don't measure their value by energy consumption. They have inherent value as HUMAN BEINGS. A fucking LLM has no inherent human value. You cannot compare them.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

this was fun www.404media.co/watch-404-me...

Bad Bunny is telling the world that the people in Puerto Rico are American citizens and deserve reliable and resilient electricity and infrastructure investment from the U.S. government.

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

get rid of your fucking ring doorbell grow up!!!!

The better LLMs get, the more data scientists are going to find out the truth.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Temps in the low 20's-30's in the South and renewables holding it down again today: Texas (ERCOT) - ~50% solar! v. ~30% gas, with batteries dispatching earlier at ~ 6GWs #energysky

i hope i never hear that encryption is only for criminals “i have nothing to hide” ever again

I am not on a bus. The buses aren't running today.

Bookmark that Vice President and future presidential candidate JD Vance retweeted a post that said Alex Pretti was “an assassin who tried to murder federal agents.”

Let me give you a thought experiment: Imagine not just a ban on qualified immunity for authority, but a reversal; a new legal framework, under which authority bears greater responsibility than civilians in matters involving force—as it should. www.the-reframe.com/absolute-imm...

People when I mutter to myself: That boy ain't right. People when a computer mutters to itself: ooh it's a reasoning model!

Unelected petrostate strongmen are not legal heads of state, don’t you know

Who knows someone might text about it in a Signal chat where they’ve included a member of the press.

It's #12Clouds time at Cloud Austin. Head over to my fediverse account for live-posting, 'cuz I have to pick one social to post from.

Aite folks, point me in the direction of good resources on creating bug bounty programs, given that they're by default a minefield.

very funny to read these emails and then remember summers wondering whether the leaky pipeline in stem was because women are inherently bad at math

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Got plenty of slots left for the #longhornphp uncon

The #longhornphp 2025 tutorial day is underway! @alenaholligan.bsky.social is presenting on BDD, Florian Engelhardt is walking through building an observability extension with Rust, and @daveliddament.bsky.social is diving into building custom Rector rules.

Time to learn about Valkey from the fine folks at @percona.bsky.social at Texas Linux Fest!

If you've been to #LonghornPHP in the past as an attendee and haven't grabbed a ticket yet, we've got a few wks before the conference & I'd love to see y'all there. If our GA tickets feel pricey, DM me. I'm proud of our schedule and want to give speakers the audience they deserve.

This year, @alenaholligan will be presenting a tutorial and a talk - join us on Thursday for her tutorial "Bridge the Testing Gap: Mastering BDD with Codeception for Cross-Team Success" to master BDD Fundamentals! Get tickets at longhornphp.com

@flightradar24.com Y'all should do something special with SkyCards for Dorkfest ;) Maybe Blue Sky (heh) for LAX for the entire 2h event so folks can quickly catch planes before going back to taking pictures of planes IRL

It's travel-to-Dorkfest o'clock at AUS. Boarded on DL 306 AUS-LAX. See y'all (incl. @crankyflier.com) soon!
