Good look into Lee's initial mindset and the decision to move to #SportingKC

I'm bummed that the inaugural edition of the Women's club world cup isn't until 2028. I'd love to see how this year's edition of the KC Current stack up against European clubs. #KCBaby

White House told only way to move Discovery is to chop it up : Smithsonian warns that dismantling orbiter for relocation is history in the wrecking

Seems like $150m to move the space shuttle is the definition of wasteful spending.

@matt-ffffff.bsky.social curious when the new ALZ is targeting a 1.0 release with the Terraform CAF is headed for end of support in Aug 2026. Not sure I want to migrate when it is still at 0.13

From designer clutches to grocery bags: Inside soccer's toiletry bag obsession Toiletry bags are soccer players' fashion statements, and the stars of MLS opened theirs up and showed ESPN what's inside.

I don't care about fashion and neither does Jansen Miller. Love his take in this story from ESPN.

How can you not like this guy? So down to earth! #SportingKC

I love guessing which VM SKUs I can get inside of an Azure Region and randomly trying to increase quotes to get enough of a family to deploy a workload.

I have a hard time remembering a #sportingKC player who is more one footed than Shapi. His right is so much weaker than his left.

While on a resume rant, (reviewed 40 in the past 3 days) never make it 7 pages long. Have mercy.

If you claim some kind of 50% improvement using a tech on your resume and don’t mention what you replaced with the new, assuming it was hamsters on wheels.

.@matt-ffffff.bsky.social ran across azure.github.io/Azure-Landin... today and wondered if there was a migration path form the terraform enterprise scale caf to the newer approach and if MS was going to support that.

Happy birthday Jaws! How the movie changed shark science Half a century after its cinematic release, Jaws is still shaping how we view β€” and protect β€” the ocean’s top predators.

Nature is one of the most prestigious scientific journals. The first time I was ever in Nature, I was talking about the value of karaoke as a professional networking skill for scientists.

Pretty cool to go from that to a featured interview about my actual area of expertise! πŸ§ͺπŸ¦‘πŸ¦ˆ

Not sure of the right way to think about these, but curious if you have thoughts. Grace and Peace.

Given that both involve interpreting a text I wonder where you think that there are similarities/differences. I've wondered for a while if originalism (as an interpretive tradition) shares things in common with some interpretive traditions that assume the ability to understand authorial intent.

@davidfrenchjag.bsky.social I've listened to you for a long time in various forms (good faith, advisory, afterparty) and I've wondered for a while what you thought about the way that Biblical Hermeneutics relates to the ways judges interpret the law.

I’ve benefited from your books, thinking, and speaking. To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never had the opportunity to say thank you. So, thank you!

Pretty sure that his words violated the third. Taking the name of God in vain is one of the big 10 too

I’ll take, why the historical context of a text matters for $200.
