Good sign

Thousands have joined the ‘No Kings’ protest that’s just gotten started at Tom Mcall Waterfont Park in Portland @statesnewsroom.com

This. What are we doing Mayors and Governors, allowing masked men who won't identify themselves to snatch people off the street, out of hospitals, from their work, from their homes and schools? Why are we tolerating this?

I need to write a talk for our internal tech summit. Enough people apparently liked my proposal.

Stay classy MO (so happy i left that place) : fox4kc.com/news/missour...

States should be passing laws that make concealing one's identity while dressed as a police officer presumptive probable cause for an arrest for impersonating a police officer.

Sudden increase in suspected “human trafficking, money laundering, drug smuggling” expected.

Do I know another 5-7 families that would be interested in going in on this with me? 3 hours south of Paris!

lol even Corey Lewandowski knew the optics were BAD

Tha fuck did he do to deserve this?

I wonder how this is going to compare to Matt’s. www.oregonlive.com/dining/2025/...

Happening here (OR) too … ICE arresting vineyard workers. #pdx www.koin.com/news/oregon/...

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Just wanted to give a shout-out to the political cartoonists who refuse to back down from the necessary commentary - as well as the opinion editors and publishers who also refuse to bend the knee. We see you. We appreciate you. We support you. You are on the right side of history! Thank you!

Pope Leo is mobilizing priests to federal courts Monday to stand in solidarity with migrants making their required immigration court appearances… God vs. ICE 😎✨

I once cracked a joke that Rachel Hunter laughed at.

“Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”

One thing that stood out really powerfully in last night's mayoral debate is that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander both operate from the premise that New York City is a wonderful and beautiful and precious place. Andrew Cuomo does not.

Zeus has a chance to do the funniest thing

as ever, if you ask people if they think art should exist for their enjoyment they will say yes, and then if you ask them if the people making the art should get paid for it they'll tell you "no that's a fake job"

A hill I will die on: collaborating via Google docs is only marginally better than not collaborating at all.

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

I, for one, am very excited that we’ll be adding higher oil prices to tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and layoffs. I’ve been wanting to relive the stagflation, gas lines, and political unrest of the 1970s. Maybe serial killers will make a comeback too.

A few key points: - Senator Padilla is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety - He identified himself as a Senator - Right before this happened Noem literally said she was there to liberate Los Angeles from its elected leadership

If we had a reasonable legislative body we’d force the hyperscalers to build carbon-free electricity for their new data centers like this, and leverage that capital to push renewable power prices down

including a quote by @honeycomb.io CEO @cyen.bsky.social: "Projects that are formulaic are more amenable to using AI. The hard part about building software isn't just writing code. Engineers are still going to be necessary, at least today, for owning that curation, judgment, guidance and direction."

Agents already tear gassing peaceful protesters in broad daylight at Portland ICE building. Spicy.
