No Kings! #sanfrancisco

Decent workout followed by weeb day at the office

It’s pretty crazy that 67 people died in a commercial air collision with a US military vehicle and the next day we just kept going.

@mayor.lacity.gov so…anything at all from you? Or nah?

It’s 2005. I’m in my childhood bedroom working on my Algebra 2 homework listening to The Ghost of You by My Chemical Romance. It’s 2025. I’m sitting at my desk as a mechanical engineer doing satellite work at Apple listening to The Ghost of You (2025 Mix) by My Chemical Romance.

So where is @mayor.lacity.gov at while I watch videos of police offers shooting multiple reporters and trampling protesters on horseback? Because I'm pretty sure this is LAPD and not the national guard carrying out these casual travesties on American soil.

This is actually insane. I am glad folks are in the streets. They absolutely should be.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

I just know a Mogwai concert in 2002 had AMAZING vibes. I want to be there.

I know there was a lot going on in American politics today, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight how much I admire the work that Greta Thunberg and the Freedom Flotilla are doing. They're sailing an aid ship across the Mediterranean to Gaza right now, despite lacking Israeli permission.

Exciting news. Wore pants. Felt cute.

It’s not that hard to mark your nudes and suggestive photos as such, folks. It’s common bsky courtesy.

I am never going to be able to explain to the next generation that being able to plug in a few words and generate a fantastical picture, let alone a realistic VIDEO, was the wildest of science fiction when I was a kid. Hell, it was the wildest of science fiction five years ago.

An excellent answer to a bad-faith question.

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

So let’s stop arguing about the “g” word, shall we?

I'm great at parties. Don't use ChatGPT.

As a hardware engineer who has designed many a part for mass production and written many an SOP, I guarantee that while your assembly may require custom tooling, if it cannot be assembled with “standard” hands you’ve done something very wrong. Apple engineers are not talking about little fingers.

Genocide.

Finally got that mirror mounted in my new apartment

I donated to Tasneem and I encourage you to as well.

So is the lighting hitting better in A or B?

I just love this city. #sanfrancisco #goldenhour

Bought some new bookshelves from an adorable little local shop in San Francisco (that makes them in the city). Anyone want to help me unpack books and move couches along?

Am I back: a) from Mexico b) on my bullshit Choose all that apply

We ride at dawn for SB79. California needs this bill. If you live in CA, please call your representative and say you support it. For the skeptics: this is VERY good for affordable housing. Projects built via it are still subject to inclusionary affordable unit rates. calmatters.org/politics/202...

You ever check yourself out in the airport bathroom mirror like “damn my barber really got me together before this trip”? Thanks my man.

I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. I’ve done this ten years. This is among the most horrific things I’ve ever read — testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

This is beyond fucked up. Spread the word.
