If you want to read a great book on how doomsday / end times thinking has driven America since before it was a country I highly recommend Cults Like Us by @janeborden.bsky.social

Three blocks of protesters in Albany - which, for the uninitiated, is pretty solidly DJT country. Saw a small group of counterprotestors in another part of town. They looked sullen.

Just drove down HWY 99 in Tigard. 3-4 deep on both sides of the road for several blocks. Signs, flags. Women, nb, men. Seniors to babies. Different races. Very inspiring.

My buddy is part of this tribe. We were talking about this a few weeks back. He suggested the tribe change the sign to read: LAND BACK

Realizing that folks hate top 10's and AI, I still chose to ask ChatGPT to name the "Top 10 queer musical artists of all time": F. Mercury D. Bowie E. John F. Ocean B. Carlile G. Michael Sylvester J. Monáe M. Etheridge Lil Nas X Note: This is 2nd rev - 1st left off Brandi she replaces T. Chapman

These folks will never understand the joy of getting the flip map from AAA for your next big road trip. Or "there's a gas station over there, pull over and ask if they know where this place is". Or "but both of those exits say Los Angeles - which one is it".

You know what you could do for pride? Skip the drag brunch that everyone and their mother goes to and go to the vogue ball. The balls are primarily queer POC, many if not most of whom are genderqueer or trans. These are our most marginalized communities. Go celebrate them and bring your cash.

We are getting fed this year. youtu.be/5BRHuiRyVEE?...

Whose streets?

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

This is a great documentary. It tells the story of the flooding of Vanport, and it's affect on the Black community in Portland - effects that still reverberate today (unsurprisingly)

@mikegcoleman.com it's for you

And counterpoint . . .

The kids are alright

Next Wednesday (5/21) I will be co-presenting a session on how to use @docker.com and @pulumi.com to accelerate your platform journey - should be a great hour talking about platform engineering, devops, and related topics. If this interests you, feel free to register below:

Tell me you're either a complete dork or a tattoo artist I'd never want to visit without telling me either of those things.

Someone just asking to be humiliated.

This was SB99 from 2023. I spoke against this bill on 3 different occasions on the house floor, including the "blood on your hands" speech. I am glad this bill has been permanently defeated. And that Montana's constitution continues to protect trans people from government overreach and animus.

This morning I am thinking about S-Tier movie soundtracks from years past (like many years past). My top 3*: Heavy Metal Go! The Saint (Top 3 means they are the ones that immediately came to mind)

Wanna to make an MCP server for your API but you have a gazillion endpoints?! Check out this layering approach used to create the Square MCP. With only 3 MCP tools, we expose 30+ APIs and 200+ endpoints! 🤯 engineering.block.xyz/blog/build-m...

Love this.

Timeline cleanser for today. Never fails to produce a full on goofball smile on my face.

In honor of May the Fourth I present this lightsaber I just printed (not my design). Finally got to give my MMU a solid test run. Color me impressed. 🤦

This is the first "real" thing I designed from scratch. Not all that complicated but I am very pleased with the way it turned out.

YNWA!

🧠 AI agents are cool. But deploying tools for them? Still feels like 2013. That’s why we’re bringing Docker magic to MCP. Enter: Docker MCP Catalog + Toolkit Launching this May. Built into Docker Hub. www.docker.com/blog/introdu...

Trans women are women.

Stunning in the not only it's depth of analysis, but also the clarity of the conclusion. 10/10 would read again.

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost. I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.
