@coffeegeek.com have you been able to try the Breville Oracle Dual Boiler yet? I saw your first look on the Jet. I've had an Infuser for 10 years and it's been great, but it no longer pulls consistent volumes (despite repeated cleaning & descaling). Cost to fix = cost to replace, so looking...

@xoruby.com I'd love to hang out in Napa on your way up the West Coast! LMK if you want to drink some great wine and eat some world-class food :)

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

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

You guys see where this is going? Right?

@thorstenball.com I'm glad you're enjoying adventuring around the Bay Area! If you're into wine and nature, I definitely recommend coming up to Napa for a day. I'll happily show you around 😀

This morning, the local police just visited my house. They were doing a wellness check on me because there were reports of suicidal ideation. They claim to have found my Facebook account with pictures of my daughter, so they were concerned for her. 1/4

“California, the fourth largest economy on planet Earth, is this summer using 40 percent less natural gas than it did two years ago to generate electricity. If you wanna know why the fossil fuel industry is freaking out and sponsoring every bad politician on Earth, that's why.”

@mbrozen.bsky.social on the recent Talking Headways podcast, you said something that sounded a lot like my current urbanism thesis: Every housing problem is a transportation problem, and every transportation problem is a housing problem.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

I didn't write any code for The Rockies being down 17-0 but clearly that was an oversight.

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

Maybe the goal is to make flying so dangerous that nobody does it, thus eliminating 2.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions.

@katef.bsky.social over the next month or so, I want to build a bunch of little demos and explorations on my website. If you have any fun ideas or things that you’ve built but that don’t yet exist on the web, please LMK!

@syntax.fm @wesbos.com @tolin.ski in 922, you say as a person who works on the web, it’s your job to build great web experiences, not just the CSS part of the backend part. But what about sites that require DB ops? LLM training? Compiler design? 3D modeling in WebGL? Which specialization is OK?

In about 1999 (plus or minus a couple years) some company produced a concept video for a smartphone-digital-assistant. It could book flights and read medical charts. It’s not the Knight-Ridder digital newspaper concept from 1994, though it’s similar. Anyone remember this?

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle. https://trib.al/W6lqYEu

I find my cat annoying because she spends all day screaming, yowling, and begging for a pinch of Mexican Style Four Cheese Blend, but one day no one in this home will scream, yowl, or beg for Mexican Style Four Cheese Blend and I will be sad

In the US we use bollards to protect what is important and valued (hint, it's not people walking or using bikes)

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Fascism For First Time Founders Over the last year or so I've seen a disturbing tendency in tech/startup/VC worlds to buy into the neoreactionary view that for startups to be successful they need to get on board the Trump train. Yes, there are the big name folks who everyone knows about and who…

John Lewis walked, bled, and lived for justice. Five years since his passing, we honor him the only way we know how: By refusing to stay silent and getting in more Good Trouble.

It’s called hyper-normalization. It’s a dissociative reaction meant to shield you as a safety mechanism, but ultimately helps whatever is attacking you. Think closing your eyes as a train comes rather than jumping out of the way. Fascism will succeed if we continue to hyper normalize its presence.

Presenting the BRAND-NEW season - @dimension20.bsky.social On a Bus! 🚌 DM'd by Katie Marovitch, and as players: Aabria Iyengar, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Jasmine Bhullar, and Mark Mercer!

The absolute most unhinged thing I've seen on @dropout.tv -- and that's increasingly saying something. Jordan: you're an inspiration. Izzy & Erika: you're twisted. 🤣

I'm so curious how many of the Rick & Morty staff are in on Izzy's butthole idea #gamechanger

Happy 4th of July everyone- this is the most American thing I’ve read today - please read every word: Goodbye to All That www.lawfaremedia.org/article/good...

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)
