The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

This shouldn't be controversial, but for some reason I get a LOT of hate for this simple statement: You should NOT be catching Exceptions in your backend code (except to re-throw them or throw a new one). In 99 cases out of 100, the UI layer should be catching exceptions.

I'm getting ready to build a house. I currently have a house with a washing machine and dryer. Would it be a dick move to buy a washer and dryer to try them out to see if I want to keep them in the new place or keep my 1992 Maytags for the new place?

The term Gulf of Mexico verifiably began appearing on navigational charts and official written records in 1550. As a regional geographic feature, it predates the entire existence of the United States by over two centuries.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

The snow has started falling in #Arlington. To get ahead of the game, I've already abandoned my truck in the middle of the intersection up the road and put out cones and lawn chairs to claim the parking spot in front of my house.

During a convo with someone, oh, around 2016, I said I was concerned that if a certain candidate was elected, it would mean when the lights turned on, instead of hiding, the cockroaches would go “hey, look, we can be in the light now. WOO, FULL COCKROACH!!!!!!” looks around 2025 Yup.

"these DOGE kids are probably writing shitty code" Sorry, your code is shitty too. Everyone's code is shitty. It's just that there's usually an entire ecosystem dedicated to making sure your shit code is less shit when it hits prod

Hey, just a reminder to the Feds out there concerning RTO: NEVER EVER talk about working from home. You don't work from home. You work in your REMOTE OFFICE. You aren't getting coffee from your kitchen. You get coffee from your on-site cafeteria.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
