By my rough calculation, the Trump shutdowns account for around 59% of the total time the government has spent shutdown (78 out of 132 days) and around 89% of the total cost ($21.7 out of $24.4 billion). (So far) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

Instead of saying senate democrats caved, say voting against the CR was voting for the lesser evil, but the administration & republicans in congress chose to turn the shutdown into a greater evil rather than work on an agreeable CR. Put the target on the folks choosing to harm the nation.

When the lower lift at Massanutten isn't running, they let me drive my car up to the base of the upper lift. #Mtb

I just biked up and down Quarantine on the Massanutten Western Slopes. That upper section was way more intense than I was expecting! #MTB This is not my video www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqhO...

I felt something odd as I grabbed this part of the railing on my way down the steps of the deck. Focusing on the steps, I barely noticed something crawling on my pinky finger. By the time I realized it was a wasp, I had already been stung twice and a swarm was forming around me. 🏃 🐝🐝🐝

Had a great time seeing the Momentum Parkour demo at the National Building Museum (4th & F St NW). Opening sequence clipped below. Kiddos were having tremendous fun.

South Germantown Bike Park is a great place to get some air time. 🚴 #MTB

What a blast from the past to see the old videos of folks I've trained with 15 years ago. #parkour

1:08:24 "Humans are not very good at time continuity" This is why I've begun to build a ChronoZoom clone with the goal of including my own, personal timeline. It is so eye-opening to see any given day in the context of my entire life, or to see my life in the context of history. @bradfrost.com

It has been a while since I've thought about my favorite life moto: "Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. Expect nothing." Hearing the words 'expects nothing' 10 minutes into this interview suddenly triggered a reawakening of a past self. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyPf...

The United States is reporting the highest number of measles cases in 33 years. Vaccines prevent measles. Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.

On April 5, I posted 2 predictions about #measles cases. If there are 77 new cases in the next 2 weeks, we'll hit the 1,274 milestone by July exactly as predicted. I would prefer to be wrong.

Google IO has gone from being mostly about AI to being exclusively about AI. It feels like the AI arms race has halted progress in other areas.

I got a lot of bouncing to do. TTFN! #slackline

Try out the new interactive Playground component on the docs home page: www.11ty.dev#try-eleventy... That’s right: we’re running Eleventy in the build and in the browser. This unlocks many more exciting options for Eleventy projects — stay tuned!

I'm noticing an alarming amount of AI generated slop on Youtube in the past 7 days promoting the Tesla Model 2... Nothing from Tesla or any reputable channels, but the junk channels are suddenly pushing so much similar content that it seems coordinated by a central group.

The #parkour TED Talk is now available on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb5V...

Welcome to the DOGE Subcommittee—this is what it has become. They can gavel me all day—but I will always fight for what is right—at home and in Washington.

A key detail I spotted in the CDC's weekly #measles update today: The number of outbreaks in the US has increased from 7 to 10 this week. It was 3 for a while and then steadily increased until this jump. The locations of the 3 new outbreaks are not clear to me. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

The next steps are clear. We must ask ourselves — what is even one more tangible thing we can be doing? This will take work, grit, and determination—but this is how change happens. Don't let your inability to do everything undermine your determination to do something in the cause of our country.

Scoop: Acting DOGE Administrator Amy Gleason denied responsibility for widespread government layoffs in a message to industry colleagues obtained by the Chronicle. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

In 2024, the US recorded 285 total #measles cases. We blew past that number in mid-March this year. The next-worse year was 2019 with 1,274 cases which we are on course to surpass by July. Next is 1992 with 2,126 cases which we may exceed by September at our current rate.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Today was a tremendous day of hope for democracy. Cory Booker's record breaking Senate Speech was a sight to behold, rallying Democratic leaders to get excited and united.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

🚨 Cory Booker has officially broken the all-time record for longest ever Senate speech, previously set by Strom Thurmond in 1957. He’s still going.

1 more hour!

Speaking since 7pm last night, @booker.senate.gov is actively taking a stand in one of the longest Senate Speeches in history. If he remains standing for 3 more hours, he will break the record set in 1957.

Remember kids: A, D, E, & K are the 4 fat-soluble vitamins. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins can accumulate in the body and become toxic if consumed in excessive amounts. It is important to follow recommended dietary allowances for these vitamins.

They are breaking Social Security, because they do not like Social Security.

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:

Over 5 weeks into the ongoing measles outbreak and cases seem to be growing at a steady rate of ~70 per week. I'm glad that it does not appear to be accelerating, but I would have hoped to see it slow down by now considering that the incubation period is 2 weeks.

It's our pleasure to introduce two new watches that closely follow the original Pebble DNA. Both are available for pre-order starting today. - Core 2 Duo: black/white display, $149, ships in July - Core Time 2: 64 colour display, $225, ships in Dec Pre-order today at store.rePebble.com

Lead by example. Speak truth to power. The appropriate response to horrible ideas is a better idea.

It has been a while since Ampisound has uploaded any YouTube videos. I hope to see more. #parkour

The news about Voice of America hits close to home. My dad, Alex Belida, worked for Radio Free Europe and Voice of America across every conceivable role. His work took us to live in Kenya and South Africa for many of the most formative years of my life.
