I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

I’ve followed @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social on various platforms for a number of years because it was important to remember where fascism inevitably leads. These days that remembrance is vital.

Just had a close call. I was texting my wife “are you swimming tonight?” to see if she was going to the pool after work and auto correct tried to change swimming to swinging which is an entirely different thing. Fortunately I caught it before hitting send.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.
