Never forget that anti-black racism has always been the first tactic used by elites to pull the wool over the eyes of the white masses to distract them from those same elites pulling from the pockets of the masses. It worked during the slavery era, during industrialization, and continues even now.

Handcrafting a website or an app is fun. Having something do it for me isn’t. Then there is the whole accessibility and usability aspect of it all. I used to take electronics apart, put them back together to see how things worked and then transferred that to coding. I still love to handcraft code.

We’ll see fewer and fewer tech layoffs as Return to Office and flattened hierarchies with no path forward compel people to just leave companies with these outdated mindsets. Maybe it will lead to further innovation in tech. Let’s hope.

I don't want to get all @edzitron.com about this (OK maybe I do) but goddamn, I've been struggling with an annoying bug all afternoon and let me tell you, "AI" code models sure aren't doing anything but going in circles. I'm hitting the pub.

They’re gonna cut off what they don’t want you to hear…

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Today is the 30th anniversary of Hackers

"We are told that AI is inevitable, that we must adapt or be left behind. But universities are not tech companies. Our role is to foster critical thinking, not to follow industry trends uncritically." www.ru.nl/en/research/...

A slow relaxing ride to get tacos last night #motosky youtu.be/g_3qt6iNAMg

In other news, I’m no longer a Yankee fan. Fuck ‘em if they’re fascists or supporters of fascists

Frankly, @msnbc.com and their team should be ashamed. He wasn’t an “activist” who presented “good-faith arguments” - he was a Nazi who believed gin rights were more important than children.

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

No, in fact, the rest of us do not need to hear both sides of your phone conversation

This is fun, the first 12 minutes of MTV. I don’t think I ever put together the astronaut and moon imagery with the channel itself launching.

So…the #Bills

The language of money & the language of power are the only languages I understand. How are you helping The Cause is all I want to know.

I’ll sign that open social web letter when Mastodon’s CEO Eugen, and Evan (aka the father of the Fediverse) do + if NL Net and The Social Web Foundation kick bread to Blacksky.

If you ever wonder if @cnn.com is now corporate and right leaning, just watch @smerconish.bsky.social - his “I’m in the middle - neither left nor right”claims just don’t hold water.

Why is the @kneecapceol.bsky.social movie bringing tears to my eyes?!?

As promised - here the mildly edited video #motosky youtu.be/PR-K60hzV0A?...

Tried out the GoPro and I’ll upload the video later but, a nice pre-autumn ride #motosky

Oh no, everyone! The killed @vancityreynolds.bsky.social aka Jay Da Boom!!

Totally forgot a young @vancityreynolds.bsky.social was a football star in an episode of X-files

I tell my friends I love them all the time and don't guard my emotions, I've teared up recording the show even if it's just about the computer because I give a shit about the work and how people are treated. You don't have to hide how you feel and those who try to make you stop are weak

Stack Overflow 2025 Developer Survey results are up: survey.stackoverflow.co/2025 • 23% of the questions were on ‘AI’, • 0% were about dev disabilities. Confirmation that devs still don’t trust ‘AI’ output and positive sentiment has dropped.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

once again, i'll suggest that perhaps the reason the broad public thinks democrats are weak is that when confronted with situations that demands that democrats loudly and proactively stand up for their values, democrats shirk from the fight

If you’re in NYC tomorrow night…

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

A federal court ruled that ANTHROPIC illegally copied MILLIONS of books to train its AI. All authors and publishers whose books were downloaded by Anthropic from pirate websites are subject to receiving compensation. This could involve your work. For more info: authorsguild.org/news/anthrop...

I also have a GORUCK GR2 34L pack that served me well, but hasn't been used in a long time. It even has some extras to extend the pack on the MOLLE system. Plenty of room and highly expandable to take just about anything you need. ebay.us/m/a97MqU

Have you ever considered that your PM is “vibe coding” you

If you know me, you know that I love trying out new bags for travel. Which also means I have too many and need to get rid of some. So here's one I absolutely LOVE but can't use anymore as my MBA 15" is too big. It fits a MBP and MBA 14" just fine though. ebay.us/m/GETWVA

Need this on a shirt immediately 🔥

I everyone is talking about Zod, but my biggest memory of Terrence Stamp is as John Tunstall in Young Guns

Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over. The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely.  Do not.

If you’re in the #NYC area next week, The Kings Highwaymen will be playing Otto’s Shrunken Head in Manhattan

Streaming music killed hidden tracks

Getting ready to record the 100th episode of @communitypulse.bsky.social - we’ve come so far!!

When doing a talk on AI & Wthicsvsnd you get to the part about biased data, transparency, and equity… and a person gets up in a huff… You really just have to hope it’s because a work issue popping up & not rejection of the need for equitable systems that respect human rights in technology building.
