I'm not okay. But I will be eventually. Lost my dad on the 28th of April and got a job offer the next day. The new role is a big deal so I was conflicted. Still am. He's not here to celebrate me or enjoy the fruits of his labor.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Oh wow

Mr. President!

Really proud of my friend Brendan Farrington for making his fight with United Health Care to get his prescribed cancer treatments public.

It shouldn't take this much for them to do the right thing.

Who we vote for matters because it directly impacts our lives and the lives of those around us. A vote is a reflection of values and priorities.

That’s why I believe it’s fair to consider someone’s vote when forming opinions about them—it shows where they stand on issues that affect us all.

the incredible thing about this extremely viral post is that James Baldwin never said this, it was a tweet by a Twitter user called Son of Baldwin.

This is the absolute worst

The worst part about having an antibiotic-resistant strain of something is that apparently it can SEEM to be getting better at first but really it's just the infection laying low, going to the gym, and getting swole to kick your ass in a few days.

The jury's in: You won't miss anything watching this movie from the couch There's been a bit of consternation flying around about the fact that the theatrical release of Juror #2, directed by Clint Eastwood, was very muted. But this movie is perfect to watch at home.

For self defense.

Pretty sure those critics are men.

Regarding TV shows this year, 2024 has been a fantastic and joyful ride especially towards year end. I'm literally having a hard time keeping up and these are shows I love. #duneprophecy #lioness #matlock etc

Meet Skyseed, a VC fund and incubator backing the Bluesky and AT Protocol ecosystem | TechCrunch In November, Peter Wang sought ideas for a new fund to support the AT Protocol ecosystem. Four weeks later, he launched Skyseed.

More resources are starting to come into the atproto dev ecosystem.

“We don’t have to all fit inside the same, one-size-fits-all app,” Wang said. “The whole point of the protocol is to build many different kinds of apps, and let a lot of different kinds of user experiences flourish.”

Like I've always known there's a whole world down there we don't know jack about but it's still shocking when something like this happens.

‘Star Wars: Visions’ Renewed for Season 3 at Disney+ Disney and Lucasfilm confirmed there will be a third volume of the popular animated anthology series.

I have high hopes for Bluesky maintaining a different ambience to Twitter/X. I saw it happen to Threads which I thought would become as toxic as everywhere else but somehow, they've managed to kinda keep it together.

Refugee from Twitter!

This chart shows daily U.S. website visits for Bluesky and Threads, indicating a notable surge in visits to Bluesky's website starting in October 2024. Bluesky's visits (blue line) steadily increased until October and then spiked sharply, surpassing 1.2 million visits. In contrast, Threads (orange line) showed consistent fluctuations but did not experience a similar surge. This data excludes mobile app users and highlights web traffic trends based on SimilarWeb's analysis.

This is crazy, the total website visits to bluesky exceeded threads despite threads having over ten times the user base.

Why was the movie Paper Towns so good?
