Look, we need to remember that just because we can make an emergency website in a few days when it's an emergency, does not mean we SHOULD regularly try to make websites in a few days.

screenshot of a popup on Google Sheets with two buttons "Learn more" and "Got it" header reads "Gemini can now do more for you in Sheets" with "for" scribbled out in red, and the word AS above it, so it says "Gemini can now do more AS you in Sheets" below that: Gemini can now make requested changes and insert content directly into your files. HIGHLIGHTED TEXT: All inserted content will be attributed to you in version history. For inline features like =Al), Gemini will insert content directly. For the side panel, Gemini will provide a preview first unless it understands your goal is a direct edit, such as making a pivot table or adding conditional formatting. Gemini in Workspace can make mistakes, including about people, so double-check responses.

As @tressiemcphd.bsky.social knows, I almost didn’t write my book because of years of threats against me and my family. I wrote the book and I’m happy about it, but this kind of harassment takes a toll.

The Washington Post Accused Me of “Gross Misconduct.” Here's My Response. This fight isn’t just about my job — it’s about who gets punished for telling the truth, and who gets protected for spreading hate and violence.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post.

I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing.

Has anyone else had issues with MapServer layers not correctly rendering in QGIS print layouts that they were able to resolve? The layer is visible in the print layout, but when I export them as raster some tiles seem to render, others don't.

In the evening they marched off up Wounded Knee Creek, and then we saw all that they had done there.

LOL teens of the late 90s unite. I remember sitting in an undergrad poli sci class and thinking "Does that sound right? I don't think that sounds right."

Oh, it's final? Is that how history works? Good luck with that!

Fun times to have to consider that gathering all the generals together is the start of something very bad, but that my best guess is that it's something waaaaaaay stupider.

DHS itself has confirmed that the victims were detainees but Noem and Vance have already jumped to reframe the attack as anti-law enforcement violence.

Local TV station megaconglomerates don’t need to exist. Their entire income stream is 30 second ad slots for used car dealers and injury attorneys and local politicians. The only thing they make is a dying news product that hasn’t changed its format in decades. Break em all up.
