I don’t like this whole “being on the bad guys side” thing

Imagine if you had been in a coma for the past two years and just woke up

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 had a talk with someone earlier who very proudly informed me that they read only nonfiction. When I inquired why (dear God why), they simply said "I like my reading to teach me about the world." I laughed. All the facts in all the books in all the world cannot teach you any of what fiction does.

The dictionary contains every book ever written, you just have to read it in the correct order.

New JWST data dropped today, so here's my processed image!! 🔭 This is the NGC-3147 galaxy, located 130 million light years away, seen by NIRCam. That spiral form is so satisfying to see! HD: flic.kr/p/2qNkvdo

lol found this funny

Finding it really hard to get back into social media. Shut FB 3 years ago. Left Twitter for here. And the thought of spending lots of time on here doesn’t sit well with me. Struggling to do so 🤷🏽 anyone else struggling to spend time in txt?

It’s been like this for a whole generation of f1. I’m so ready for us to move on.

Pretty much

#formula1 #QatarGP

Pretty much! Also Pirelli tire decision for this race was a joke. Likely laziness based on the boring weather of the region. Then it was cooler and f’d up the entire grids tire strategy. Those hards were a joke, should have been the softness on the yellows. Pushed far to far to the hard end

Ready to go ✌️ #QatarGP 🇶🇦 #F1

This Qatar F1 race has been one of the worst in recent memory. Absolute disaster of a race director. Get the damn wing mirror off immediately. Don’t run a yellow flag on the main straight lap after lap. Saftey car and remove it. Mirror was reason for Norris and Hamilton penalties. So f’ing stupid.

MAGA, As of Nov 2024: - Inflation 2.1% - Unemployment is 4% - GDP is 3% - Manufacturing is booming, and only getting better. The economic boom you're about to credit to Trump was brought to you by Joe Biden. And when it crashes, that will 100% be on Trump.

Jehovah really was a shit. Option a) put peace into the hearts of Egyptians and let Moses lead Hebrews to pray to him in the desert b) play a convoluted game of plague, torture and death cumulating in drowning a bunch of Egyptians in the Red Sea. 🤔

Been thinking a lot about what Bernie Sanders said on The Daily on Friday…

I've been blogging about my stroke recovery. Here is week 9's update, "A Room of One's Own." somethinggrand.ca/2024/11/17/f... #MusicTherapy #stroke #physiotherapy #pilgrimage #DanielLevitin #SecretChord

Wow! Like a sci-fi scene

This was a great day, I was out with two friends at Wastwater in the Lake District. A place I really should visit again, it’s absolutely beautiful. I really need to get my camera gear sorted and get out again, it’s been a long while. #photography #bluesky #landscape
