Portia

No matter how many todo or planner apps I try, I always fall back to writing sticky notes and placing them all over my apartment.

I take back everything I said. This new administration is clumsy, reckless, and embarrassing.

Again, mostly rambling. I guess what I’m trying to say is there is something deeply broken in the progressive movement.

And no, I don’t feel pressed to “fix it”.

Since slavery we have leaned on black women for their activism.

Count me out.

I do not volunteer to take on this latest burden.

Also political messaging has consequences. A decade ago if one would have spent all their time focusing on liberal causes such as Occupy Wall Street and ‘eat the rich’ they would have missed:

- best real estate investing market ever
- crypto
- the tech boom
- heavily subsidized urban lifestyle

Even with that in mind, I can’t stomach calling myself a liberal any longer.

This attitude of “Well at least I’m better than the other side” has caused more trouble than we care to admit.

My political support will no longer be taken for granted.

I post here, because I’m trying to clarify to myself how I feel about this political moment.

Are Republicans in power my friends?
- Probably not

Is reform a cover for a power grab?
- Definitely, but not 100%

Could this end badly?
- Yes

Also can’t we implement government spending reform without terrorizing immigrants, trans, and black people.

Republicans aren’t wrong for wondering where’s the money going.

Instead of reform, we’re replacing one grift for another grift.

Le sigh.

1. The federal government is overdue for an audit.

2. Only authorized personnel should gain access to everyone’s SSN.

Can’t 2 things be true at the same time? 🤷🏿‍♀️

Love it!

You haven’t lived until you deleted you highest performing YT video. Definitely time for bed!

Needed this reminder. Thank you.

Oh, no. Hope you didn’t already start listening to All-In! 😱

Most of the podcasts I listen to are pretty high-strung.

When I’m looking for quality storytelling and laughs, I listen to:

The Good One (podcast about jokes)
Why Won’t You Date Me

It’ll do all of that, and more.

Unpopular Opinion: Are you a tech founder and want alpha? Spend a year in North Carolina.

You’ll see how people REALLY use AI.

You’ll meet millionaires who kill cockroaches for a living (true story).

Finally you’ll witness that hard work, not smarts wins the day.

Listen to “The Political Gabfest” and “All-In”.

Back to back.

Agree. The left has vilified men, but I also think a lot of these guys want what their grandfathers had.

An obedient help-meet who had to put up with husband’s poor behavior.

And women are not going back to that.

Personally, it wasn’t the left who told me not to trust men- it was my grandmother

I think Trump is a fraud, but I no longer have patience for the liberal party.

We are so much more than our race, gender or our parent’s socio-economical background.

I admire success.

And I don’t make rude assumptions that all accomplished people received “family help”.

Last Boys at the Beginning of History | The Point Magazine I expected to find something of a political sideshow at NatCon; instead, I found a movement, perhaps the only one I’d encountered during my time in D.C.

Good article on Trump’s appeal. There’s much about this piece I don’t relate to, but I understand the importance of yearning for greatness. thepointmag.com/politics/las...

I experimented with Replit recently and found it easier to just pair program with OpenAI.

Haven’t tried Bolt yet, should I?

Coding is now easier and faster than WordPress.

The only thing that stops me from using next.js for all of my projects are themes.

Outlook is such a corporate tool. It prioritizes processes over productivity.

Never worked with an email client that tried so hard to be indistinguishable from middle management.

So it’s not just me….

This is quite the site, Rachel. I love it!

Smart strategy. I don’t believe complete neutrality exists- I’m fine with that! But I think acting as an advocate for a particular political party (outside of op-ed pages) is a step too far.

Thanks! I’ll take a look at this.

Not sure where to get my news anymore. I actually agree that mainstream media is too tilted to the left and has become an unofficial mouthpiece for liberals.

On the other hand, it’s been near impossible to find thoughtful analysis (positive and negative) on a Trump 2.0 government.

Pet peeve? Website builders that *still* have a hard time handling breakpoints. I’m used to responsive working out-of-the-box. This has been a solved problem for CSS frameworks for about a decade. Low-code needs to catch up.

I suspect the many features is a point of pride for Stripe. I suspect the engineers at Stripe never got the features vs benefits lecture…

It’s so funny that GitHub has a sub-section in their Settings page called “Developer Settings”

My dude these are all developer settings
