Starting reading Parable of the Talents for the second time. Last time was literally over 15 years ago. I'm literally having nightmares.

"Feedback is a gift" she mumbles to her self deleting the 200 or so characters in the form free response.

When Ejae said she grew up in Jersey and got dropped from her label, I realized we would be friends. So humble and smart and adorable. She feels like someone I would have met in high school.

I will never get tired of Ejae describing how she composed all of K-Pop Demon Hunters.

F, Marry, Kill, start a business with: - Mrs Claus - Heat Meiser - Snow Meiser - Jack Frost

Oh god its YiR time. I have so much and so little to say.

I despise "on accident". An accident does not have a physical manifestation so you can't put something on it! Re gift as a verb I do think it has use when the item given was a gift. And this has been around since the mid-90s.

From growing up in the English Commonwealth and moving to the US as an adult I have plenty. I can accept American nuance in general BUT You hung a picture. You hanged a person. You either lie or lay in bed. Never laid unless you're a chicken. You prefer. You don't rather; your name isn't Dan. 🧵

Whats your weird English language pet peeve? Mine, "gift" being used as a verb. I hate it. What happened to "give" ? "My wife gave me a latte" "My wife gifted me a latte" Zero additional clarity or context added. Its giving... transactional capitalism as a proxy for affection.

Thank you Thibaud for guiding us through a #Django PR review. Up next is Saptak walking us through a djangoproject.com PR review. "Always more fun to be had, even with the smallest of changes" - Thibaud 💯 💜 youtube.com/live/gs6tfw...

Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Brian Tyree Henry need to be in a movie together (doesnt have to be romantic) I'm tired of them playing supporting characters. I need more more more.

I think my right arm is going yo be my space arm. All my favorite space ships. I have a negative band of white space on my left so I'm going to fill in nearly black space band around my right and then the rest of the space will be ships.

So one if my sleeves are all a bunch of flowers. Its nearly full and I call it my "garden arm". I did get a Python on my garden arm to celebrate my 10 years in the Python community. I snuck off during PyCon US to get it by myself which felt really fitting.

The magnitude of the change over time is striking. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Introduce yourself with four space ships.

Tattoo idea: every time in Star Trek they detached the saucer section S#E# ##:## [TNG/Generations/Beyond]

Watching Next Generation over for the fiddy-lem time and waiting for the November 28th #StarTrek lego set. Why is there no coundown on the landing page? #LEGO #nerds is this where I wait? Is there a virtual queue I have to get on top buy this item?

HugOps to cloudflare this morning.

Is it just me or are lefty comedians getting more into 2003 abilist and "r word" jokes. Super gross.

They stopped printing pennies and I can say after 230 years of them being in make, I have accumulated and retained maybe 6 of them. No pennies in the sofa. Lost the change jugs long ago.

Canceled a flight and now learning how to play "I'm Just a Bill" on the uke. Issa self care sprint.

We've updated space-missions.com/mission/esca... with the next launch possibility.

Got a second piercing on my earlobe! I would share a picture, but I literally hate all of them. Kthx

People who are newer to Django often do not know about these great resources and the richness of the Django ecosystem. Spread this link please! #python #django www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2025...

Kinda obsessed that I can grab coffee, drop off something at the post office and drop off my mail-in ballot all on my usual 20 min dog walk.

Dammit! My memory. Yall help me find a friend in the trch community who started planning a multilingual conference in Arizona a few years ago. It didnt Materialize but the language conference was specifically around the meta of building a programming language. Anyone remember their name?

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 ✨

Outside is expensive.

going outside to kiss people will become more important than ever in a post-sora 2 world if you can’t kiss them then how do you know they are real?

Last keynote of the year done @ #PyConAfrica

Coding more. Wife says I seem happier. 😅

There is zero value in the existence of an entirely AI generated video social network. Literally only bad things will come of this.

I have a few friends who appreciate American football and basketball who live elsewhere. I'm getting them Sixers and Eagles merch!! Allen Iverson and Jalen Hurts, respectively. But once Philly gets a women's basketball team, that's all anyone is getting for any chrisma-hanna-kwanz-ica-bday.

Last keynote of the year is on Monday and I figured out a fantastic idea for 2026 keynotes. It's circling around mental health and spoons and the next great Developer experience evolution coming to Python and not internalizing broken environments. Tell your conf team I'm open for scheduling in 2026

I LOVE it!!! Ha Now I want to try !!

I *am* uncomfortable when I hear casual use of "pipe" when referring to sales and marketing "pipeline". Please do not try to be funny... is a Monday.

If i met Audra McDonald in person, I would fan girl and cry.

This is going to kill people. And to be honest I think that’s part of the point.

The PSF joined the @openssf.org & others in signing “Open Infrastructure is Not Free.” Funding gaps in the open source industry mean critical infrastructure lacks support. Corporations benefiting from it must invest to sustain it. Read more ➡️

BREAKING: The UN General Assembly has voted to allow Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to address the annual gathering of world leaders next week via video after the US said it would not give him a visa to travel to New York. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/4nih6d

Me: I want some tear away pants. I used to live for my tear away pants in grade school. Friend: kids with tear away pants used to get bullied in my school. Me: They probably wore their pants too high or something. MY tear away pants were cool. Narrator: Whose to know the truth.

I have to get from Cambridge to Manchester today and I'm SOOOOOO close to renting a car.

Fun article about “outsider” scientists and their breakthroughs. “Academia filters most funding, publishing, and hiring decisions through senior insiders, which favors ideas within existing paradigms.” worksinprogress.co/issue/why-sc...

I am so grateful to my team members at Anaconda. I have my dream job. It's still work -- not all sunshine and roses, and I work very, very hard (at risk of burn out atm 🫠) but I couldn't have picked a better next step after my dream colleagues at Microsoft.

At the risk of being too domestic on main, but I *love* babies.

I got to play with the sweetest, happiest baby I've ever met. 🥹 A little giggle and squirm factory.
