If there's anything I've learned from squatting on @nickelback here on Blue Sky, its that Canada has some **amazing** cross continental trains. And I think that's important. We are all much happier on trains.

Every accusation is a confession.

I'm starting to think that the FIFA Peace Prize is not what it used to be.

Next charlatan to use the terms "prompt engineering" or "vibe coding" loses a finger (see: "Spies Like Us", starring Chevy Chase and Dan Ackroyd).

(But, seriously, wtf?) Perhaps merely a complete lack of self-awareness.

It’s a little known fact that @amazon web services originated with Amazon’s management of French rail engineers in the 19th century.

Thanks to @unitedhealtcare.bsky.social Americans now spend more money on health care than on food or utilities. We don’t need the middle man. Let’s get rid of these companies that make money off denying us health care and god to single payer!!

Well, he made his money getting Netscape to be almost as good as working in a terminal. THEN he spent that windfall saying wrong things over and he over because he’s never worked again.

Mostly I identify as a @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social fan.

Today’s the day for my periodic observation that “software” is a pre-requisite for “open source software” … so the open source software project should probably focus to some extent on software. I wish I was kidding.

Leavitt Can’t Answer One Very Easy Question on Troops in Portland Karoline Leavitt can’t defend the White House’s main talking point on deploying troops to Portland.

The POTUS may deploy the National Guard NOT whenever the president “deems it’s appropriate,” but rather to “repel” an “invasion,” “suppress” a “rebellion,” or execute laws that he is unable to “with the regular forces”— a Trump-nominated Federal Judge ruled NONE of these LEGAL CRITERIA are MET

Data Brokers Are Hiding Their Opt-Out Pages From Google Search Dozens of companies are hiding how you can delete your personal data, The Markup and CalMatters found.

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb think they have a clue.

Fuck this shit.

Weird how all the corrupt politicians in New York don’t want Mamdani to win

Personally speaking. I think we should disband an agency that thinks it's acceptable to just rock up to a random park carrying m4s while wearing masks and full kit.
