I don’t think people talk enough about what a great piece of software IRS Direct File is. Honestly. The UX is clean, clear, and goes out of its way to explain to you what you paid, why, and how much you get back. Taxes shouldn’t feel like a black box. Huge kudos to the team that made this.

The standard for morals in the Republican Party has disappeared. When Alberto Gonzales, who famously justified torture, is criticizing the pardoning of Jan 6 insurrectionists as morally wrong, you can’t even pretend to be doing the right thing.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

I really liked those futurism books in elementary school that predicted what 2025 would be like, so I checked out Paleofuture’s blog cataloging 5th graders’ predictions for 2025 from 2000. “I think in 2025 Furbys will try to conquer the universe.” I mean, I could see it.

I keep thinking about the bus driver who told that ICE agent to gargle his balls and how we need an army of bus drivers.

I’m slowly and accidentally rebuilding the (awesome) Twitter social graph that I built in 2009. Feels pretty good to know that I connected with so many cool people because of true shared interests and nodes on the graph.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Can we normalize putting music info in the captions of videos on Bluesky? Some of y’all have great taste in music but I don’t know how to find it. 🥺

My favorite thing I did this weekend was use Homebridge and Eve to build automations that will turn my fun Govee TV backlights on when I start watching TV, pulse them when I pause, and then just be normal lights if the TV isn’t on. #homebridge #homekit #smarthome

If you’re using @skylight.social (or other ATProto apps) and don’t want to share your Bluesky password everywhere, use App Passwords! They’re unique, limited passwords that Bluesky generates for that app. They allow you to limit your exposure to potential security issues in 3rd party tools. 🔐

@buildwithtori.com @skylight.social would y’all consider putting a user’s username underneath their display name on videos? TikTok has a huge problem with copycat accounts, but since domain = username on ATProto, that might be an easier(ish) problem to solve if usernames are visible.

One day after the White House environmental justice website went dark, please join me in welcoming the father of environmental justice to Bluesky. Yes, sociologist @drrobertbullard.bsky.social literally defined the concept in his 1990 book, Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class and Environmental Quality.

Green Day’s “American Idiot” hits #1 on the US album charts 20 years ago today. Billie Joe said he got the idea while watching live TV coverage of the Iraq war. “It felt like a cross between war & reality television,” he said. “I just felt .. like, someone needs to say something.”
