Love that @booker.senate.gov's floor speech wasn't just randomness to fill time, but all relevant stories and info about what's happening and what's at stake. Also adore his shout-out to his staff and their critical work and support in making this happen!

I am very proud to be a declarant in AAUP v Rubio. As @aaup.bsky.social general counsel I hear the harrowing stories of our noncitizen & citizen members & the ways their 1st A rights are trampled upon by the administration’s ideological deportation policies. knightcolumbia.org/documents/n3...

StubHub is hiding tickets due to a filter being on by default and it's an Information Architecture fail. 🤦‍♀️ When users can’t find what is on your website, it's failed. Your IA is actively getting in their way. StubHub’s fix? Blame the seller... 🤯

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

yeah, Prem Thakker is definitely in the Desi Wall of Fame for courage (unfortunately right now there are way more people in the Desi wall of shame) [interestingly, he is from, of all places...Grand Forks, North Dakota. I feel like Desis from deep red areas generally have developed more cajones]

There were some discovery sprints that would conclude with a recommendation that the agency NOT CONTINUE THE PROJECT. That’s right, we’d point out that the project wasn’t ready or was poorly conceived or wasn’t likely to solve the intended problem. AKA avoided wasting government funds.
