He had 6 companies facing 32 investigations from 11 government agencies. Only a miracle could save his net worth and then…November 5th 2024. Now the rest is history. Or some would say, oligarchy.

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes. Right fucking now! How is this even a discussion?

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

The whole tech world needs more projects that aren't trying to become billion- (let alone trillion-) dollar ideas, but are happily shooting for success as million-dollar ideas (or less!).

Okay. I have a very important question. What was it *exactly* that convinced them to change course? What we can't do is tell ourselves that they cared about our rabble rousing. They don't. Something else put unexpected pressure on them. And we need to focus on keeping that going.

Don’t forget to pay attention to your local elections in these coming months and years. Don’t grow apathetic, vote (pretty please).

I have this problem where, as soon as I buy some cards to upgrade my EDH decks, and hit the "confirm purchase" button, I immediately find more cards that I wish I had ordered. It can't just be me, right? 😂

What have you learned about Svelte(Kit) that you wish you knew when you first started using it in production?

Man, I really need to play more Magic in 2025. I played like half the games in this year than I did in 2023. Gonna need to do something about that.

Excited to be finally taking a serious look at migrating some critical projects at work from an old version of Next onto SvelteKit in 2025. Not set in stone yet, but things are starting to fall into place.

New Kendrick is what I needed today. 🔥

Man, taking the 2024 State of JS survey this year made me realize how much catching up I have to do. 😅

Gotta say I'm really digging Blue Sky. I've been lurking on socials since rona, because it's just been too toxic, and I ain't got time for that, but this app is giving me some srs 2010 Twitter vibes. Might start posting more. Or not. We'll see.

One of my biggest takeaways from the last couple weeks (and as an introvert, something I'm not typically inclined to do): Get outside more and hang out with your neighbors.
