I got invited to speak about my career as a sysadmin/SRE to a group of teenagers in Ho Chi Minh City. Of course I talked about PowerShell! It was special and felt really nice. Sharp kids with excellent English skills. #PowerShell

My son did a sketch of me for Father’s day.

"Bathymetry" by Matt McBand & Sandbox Percussion This is the album I am listening to after flushing/cleaning my ears. It's like a careful massage for my eardrums. Impeccably performed, recorded, and mastered synth and percussion. #listeningTo music.apple.com/us/album/bat...

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

#America250 I am proud of the US Military, and I believe the country's mood and response to this parade doesn't reflect on them. This is Trump's embarrassment and not theirs. This parade embarrassment will weaken military personnel support for MAGA and Trump... and that is fantastic.

Celebrating the absolute embarrassment of Trump on this #NoKings day by trying out #LiesOfP Overture DLC. It's my favorite game ever and I'm on NG+4 running Butterfly Difficulty because that feels like continuity. Don't ruin your good time by going Legendary Stalker from the start.

SCOOP: Details about Saturday’s “No Kings” protest are under watch by domestic intelligence centers, where analysts regularly distribute speculative threat assessments among federal, state, and local agencies, according to an internal alert obtained by WIRED. UNPAYWALLED:

very wholesome thread #noKings

#noKings this young man's wordcraft is at an incredibly high level

I have always admired Alembic 6str guitars like the Orion and the Further. Stunning design & craft. But the pickups are not my taste at all... they have this fizzy bite that doesn't filter out well. Somehow Scott Law makes his Owl model sound absolutely wonderful but I can still hear that fizz.

If I had to pick my favorite guitarist that is currently gigging... It would be a tie between Eric Krasno and Scott Law #listeningto #Guitar archive.org/details/slb2...

DEI works to dismantle systems that have been built on unfairness and racism. As more time passes, more counter-systems have been built to combat built-in inequalities. Things shift towards fairness. That scares the most fragile white Americans who fear becoming a minority themselves.

"E3 Live at Garcia's" by Eric Krasno This is an exceptional performance and 'live record'. Guitarist Eric Krasno is showing his full powers on this one. Some of the best soul-jazz lead guitar work I have ever heard. #musicSky #Guitar #Jazz #Jambands #listeningTo music.apple.com/us/album/e3-...

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

amen If you are a big account on X, I’m asking you to abandon that fascist trashsite. You don’t need it anymore. #bsky is doing extremely well and growing. This is where we live now.

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.

SF right now. Protestors outside of ICE being met by SFPD in riot gear.

RATM opening for Pearl Jam at the Warfield before their album came out… or maybe Ben Harper opening for PJ at SJSU makeup show in ‘95 doing Voodoo Chile

I was riding the rail at the 2/13/25 Daniel Donato show, and they played this smoking version of 'Boogie Man' by Speedy West & Jimmy Bryant. I don't think they played in a single other time on that tour, but I didn't realize how lucky we were. (vid from a different show) youtu.be/IB3YevHENqw?...

You have never heard a 'Werewolves Of London' like this one from Jackson Browne w/David Lindley live 1975. I cried the first time I heard it. albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2024/02/jack... #listeningTo #Music #WarrenZevon #GratefulDead #RockNRollHallOfFame

We have to stand up against this transphobic shit from Newsom, Californians. We don't leave folks behind like this. ALL of us or none of us.

If you want an lol - Microsoft have implemented Copilot on its own GitHub repos and it’s a clusterfuck, you can see MS engineers publicly begging Copilot to work. https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/1krttqo/my_new_hobby_watching_ai_slowly_drive_microsoft/

lots of smoke in Zayante Lompico. Prescribed Burn at the blue arrow. @calfire.bsky.social I'm glad some calfire is on bsky but we really need them ALL to move here. nobody uses twitter anymore. #calFire

Miles Davis - Milestones (1958) Somehow, I have never listened to this album from beginning to end. It is a phenomenal recording that really scratches my itch for swinging bop. #listeningTo #jazz #MilesDavis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milesto... music.apple.com/us/album/str...
