I work with small businesses to streamline and connect their tech stack. I'm an American who has been living in Switzerland for 8 years. I'll share tips on business tech, my travails learning french and probably a bit of a politics here and there.

I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

I'm a fan of dystopian fiction and non-fiction - from zombies to the black death. The data show that after losing a random 20-30% of the population, society starts to collapse - severe breakdowns in essential services start at only 10%. This is what's happening to the U.S. federal government.

Building hard things is kind of an anti-pattern. It's faster to solve the hardest parts first (via small experiments). Then, assemble the solved parts into a bigger solution.

Breaking news: State attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin advise Trump's EO banning trans care is unlawful, hospitals should provide care. Big counter salvo!

As someone from the Balkans I regret to inform you that the tolerance of the average public for being utterly brutalized by their government(s) for the most fantastical and asinine reasons is far greater than you may anticipate. Sectarianism is a hell of a drug, alas.

Great info here! I love it when people describe solutions instead of just pointing out problems.

If they didn't want 2 spaces after a period why do all the apps use 2 spaces to create a period!?

What makes this even worse is that, in my experience many women physicists are the ones who volunteer or are voluntold to manage the DEI and outreach -- they are now the ones at risk for losing their federal jobs.

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

"In Iraq, I had the expectation that at any moment I could be killed by the enemy. But on January 6th, that feeling was constant. It was the longest day of my life, with more than forty people assaulting me." U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell tells his January 6 story:

Four years ago right now. This was our evacuation team that got us out of the Capitol. When they knocked on our hiding place door, they had a code word & we had a response word so we knew they were actual USCP. You can see them holding back rioters. The “Join Us!” chant to cops was stomach turning.

I work with small businesses to streamline and connect their tech stack -- if you find yourself repeatedly downloading a csv file from one app and uploading it to another just to keep your data in sync, it doesn't have to be that way. I can help.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
