using a Salt N Peppa lyric to push code to github. Claude responds with a salt shaker.

Whether intentional or not, building whimsy into Claude Code makes me smile.

I was just ready to mention llms.txt too but I see you've already got one! Great idea on the attribution section. I'm going to use that.

Pretty painless

I wish we had more newspapers following the model of the @inquirer.com. I believe they are the largest non-profit newspaper in the country thanks to the @lenfestinstitute.org

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Handy. Going to try it on my Hugo site.

Minneapolis Council committee delays liquor licenses for 2 hotels over hosting federal agents The City Council will hold a public hearing on the liquor licenses for the Canopy by Hilton in the Mill District and Depot Renaissance Hotel.

A Minneapolis City Council committee delayed action Tuesday on renewing liquor licenses for two Minneapolis hotels that have housed federal immigration officers.

I used to be afraid of git worktrees thinking they were too complicated to use. I just discovered they're super handy when working with a large mono repo.

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

This is the business in Uptown that got randomly tear-gassed by ICE a few weeks ago. Guess they didn’t like it

Peaceful protests unfolded outside schools and universities from Rhode Island to Texas on Friday to protest President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Can confirm. Nothing has changed on the ground. ICE still attacking people, kidnapping, all that stuff—and the city is still out protecting and helping neighbors

"Two iconic U.S. newsrooms slash reporting and stress opinion writing even as Minnesota proves the need for factual journalism," writes columnist Will Bunch.

Wow! Will this kill 3D gaming engines someday?

@fetterman.senate.gov really you want to continue to fund this?

The Beths band show in Philadelphia

Holy crap @wxpnfm.bsky.social just announced a tour with Spoon and @thebeths.bsky.social!

We saw The Beths last year and it was a concert highlight for me.

Just bought tickets, I can't wait to see them.

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement: “Yesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer. “Today, we demand accountability. “In the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a “domestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota. “Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Looking forward to the final verdict. I've been on Vivaldi for a while and agree it feels a bit heavy.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Seven democrats and every republican voted to fund this… YESTERDAY

Maybe this is confirmation bias but I've never seen an example of UBI failing.

Prince of Persia almost failed because the dev ran out of memory.

No room for an enemy character. So he created Shadow Man—a ghostly mirror of the hero using just a few lines of code.

It became the game's best feature.
