I enjoy how Americans will post an image of a man bravely standing in front of a tank at Tiananmen every year to commemorate the wickedness of violence against protestors and then see a protester get trampled by a cop on horseback on CNN in LA and say “well what did he do wrong to deserve that?”

I did the math: what Morgan Stanley is saying is in their experience a developer can read and interpret about 250 lines of COBOL code in a single day, on average (one developer hour equates to 32 lines of code). I have trouble buying this claim: because it feels ridiculously slow.

Now THIS is what a customer-centric app is. Most banks keep sending out warning emails about impersonation and scams. Any app can implement this capability with a little coding + backend work (assuming their BE sensible enough): and yet Monzo is the first one I’ve heard do it.

Also-- "A week after Kehlani’s concert was called off, the rapper Noname’s June 18 SummerStage appearance was abruptly canceled. Noname, along with Kehlani, had signed one of several 'Musicians for Palestine' letters expressing support for Palestinians."

Today in baking, I tried something different this time: a Tarte Tropézienne. An iconic desert from the south of France, it's known as the pie of the celebs as it was created for Hollywood stars visiting. I hope the diplomat cream doesn't collapse like all the diplomacy around the world 🤞

There’s this saying of “never meet your heroes.” It most definitely does not apply to @scott.hanselman.com who is as great of a human as you’d imagine he is. His article from 10+ years ago “your words are wasted” helped me back then and also now www.hanselman.com/blog/your-wo...

In its official trending news section, X (formerly, Twitter) promoted a story with the headline “Iran Strikes Tel-Aviv with Heavy Missiles,” but it was fake — and it was created by X’s own AI chatbot, Grok. That was a year ago. And we thought that was bad.

I emailed all 3 of my federal elected in 30 seconds I know how mine will vote, but I contact them anyway because A) it's my right B) if they only hear from the other side, they don't have the ammunition to say "my constituents overwhelmingly want me to do XYZ" Your turn!! #MomSky

Your periodic reminder that "fancy fonts" on places like Bluesky are unicode & are a nightmare for screen reader users. DON'T use for your name Not only that, good lucky having anyone search for you in the search bar by name. More examples in the original post on Masto: toot.cafe/@aardrian/11...

An ice cream truck rolled up at the pro Palestinian protest at Brooklyn College this week. General opinion on TikTok and Twitter = Sus In 2000s, NYC cops would use yellow cabs and other vehicles for surveillance. I spotted them a couple of times sneaky pete-ing in UPS trucks near protests.
