y’all remember when GitHub actually worked? what a time to be alive! if only they’d spend time on reliability or literally anything useful instead of just Copilot and rewriting their UI in React

it's got "best" in the name, so how bad could it really be?

first stop of the annual Pizza Ride!! 📍Dove Vivi / Portland / OR

i’m so disappointed that, in 2025, people still choose to go work for places like Amazon, Meta, Google, etc. places that overwhelmingly make the world worse. people who aren’t struggling, who could have their pick of jobs, who are leaders in the community, who i’d otherwise respect. why choose that?

the news about the assassination of Melissa Hortman and attempted assassination of John Hoffman came as my plane out of Minneapolis was taxiing to the runway. i felt terrified and sick to my stomach for my entire flight. how much more of this can we take?

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

wracking my brains to think of someone who would have had access to a police uniform, a police-issue plate carrier, and a police car

Two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota shot in their separate homes

MSP ✈️ PDX 📍Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport / Saint Paul / MN

🗣️ LA BARBECUE IS COMING TO PORTLAND, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

now taking bets on these outages being vibe coding incidents

so like, half of the internet just went down? why not _all_ of the internet?? RELEASE ME

Out of the 109 DOGE staffers we've identified: • At least 38 currently work/have worked for businesses run by Musk • At least 23 are making cuts at agencies that regulate the industries that employed them • At least 12 remain, on paper, employees/advisors of the companies they worked at before DOGE

GitHub had its one billionth repository created today! This is the lucky repo that got ID 1000000000 🎉

got the royale this time 📍Le Burger 4304 / Minneapolis / MN

finally uninstalled Bartender in favor of Vanilla. i’d been meaning to do it for a while because of how complicated and bloated Bartender has gotten, but this bug that was making my Apple menu open randomly just clinched it for me

this is gonna make me crash out

my Blue Yeti randomly died the other day so i finally got a Shure and i just want to reassure y’all that the desire to podcast is still nonexistent

📍I checked in at Okome House / Minneapolis / MN

i knew Stumptown had fallen from grace but i didn’t know it was “do you want a 12 oz or 16 oz cappuccino” levels of bad now 📍Stumptown Coffee Roasters / Portland / OR

PDX ✈️ MSP 📍Portland International Airport / Portland / OR

One small step we can all take toward improving the web is using hyperlinks the way God intended. Please. Please. Pleek

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

if i were still in school, i’d be falling over myself to write a philosophy/psychology paper about Expedition 33

today’s slushee: “Suze & Dew” (i assume Mountain Dew but i didn’t ask) 📍Tulip Shop Tavern / Portland / OR

hold up… i can’t play as Link in Mario Kart World??? i’m sending this thing back for a refund

package secured 📍Best Buy / Portland / OR

just opened this package of Flonase and, genuinely, what the fuck?

this is a genuinely unsettling thing to see an NYT writer say. it's essentially an uncontested fact that in the social media era, large majorities of people don't read past the headline.

spilled cold brew coffee all over my white v-neck today but the important thing is that i didn’t crash out (and that i managed to get rid of the stain)

🗣️ The layoffs will continue until morale improves

if you’re still a Spotify subscriber, wyd? there’s really no excuse

I think the most striking thing about this database is the “Monetary Penalty” column. These fines need to be much higher and much, MUCH more frequent
