D'you ever get a stupid idea in your head and then you can't do anything else until you get it out? 🎣
I have no idea who this skeet is for (me. this skeet is for me.)
Consider yourself lucky! My 5 year old is having a really hard time grappling with being gentle around it and the new ones just aren't as good.
How does your monorail look like it's in such good condition!? My track is so fragile and discolored. I am envious
I do my best to post this every year. I post this story in the hopes that it keeps the memory alive. As always, it was an honor to have known this man and it feels like a time for some positivity in tragedy #NeverForget #911Remembered

This is entertaining lawyering. They don't need the suit to be back on, they just needed to delay a day for Iowa's new anti-SLAPP law to go into effect.
Hence the motion to strike. Highly entertaining.
The idea that the American experiment could fail at the hand of Bartleby, the Scrivener is wildly depressing and somehow taps into one of my darkest fears about society in general.

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:
1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.
These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.
If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
“European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said: ‘Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.’”
I am incredibly thankful that this was just a popular song I listened to growing up and I regret that it isn't a timeless hit that everyone will grow up listening to during formative years. Share widely and share often. Wear sunscreen.

“Every current and former NNSA employee who spoke to The Bulwark was alarmed about the possibilities of this sort of brain drain, fretting that Musk and his tech-bro buds simply didn’t realize how unsuited the ‘turn everything off and see what breaks’ model was to their line of work.”
CNN news story saying Trump imposes 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum
Tesla Cybertruck wikipedia page saying it uses stainless steel sheets.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.
For those curious, this is a direct quote. The ridiculous part isn't an edit for the lulz, it's just....a quote www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
If you work at a federal agency touched by DOGE, particularly the Education Department — or if you have other information about DOGE that you'd like to share with

We are good at protecting sources' identities.
Important update, on an otherwise terrible day nationally - this did, in fact, happen and it made today much better.
It was also all Disney World, since every episode theme was met with "is this tower of terror?"
After loving Tower of Terror at Disney World, I'm optimistic this will be the first year my 4 year old will watch the Twilight Zone marathon with me on New Year's Day. Wish me luck Bluesky
finally, a tech company dares to ask the question: what if the nintendo power hotline made shit up
Public service announcement: when a rep or senator says something, they literally have the same info you do from the same sources.
We always pretended to have special knowledge, but rarely did.
Keep that in mind with the drone hysteria
Something I just realized, I'm not scared of what people will see randomly on my phone when I open Bluesky. It's the little things
@techconnectify.bsky.social this feels very...you
Twitter posts no longer have timestamps. That's exactly what you want on a network built on being a realtime information source. Possibly the worst to ever do it in social media
LLM powered UI generation tools are amazing for people creating demos of LLM powered UI generation tools
"Corporate leadership is as stupid as everyone else and freaked out about viral shoplifting videos" isn't as exciting as "the pharmacies are doing fascist performance art so they can uh murder all poor people" but sometimes things really are just stupid
