Part of me is happy Mills is running. As @danpfeiffer.bsky.social says, she has been a good governor. And, if @grahamformaine.bsky.social can’t beat her in a primary, he won’t beat Collins.

That said, I’m excited to support Platner, on character, message, and energy. Let’s go!!!!

Are Democrats About to Blow It in Maine? By backing Janet Mills over a grassroots outsider, party leaders may be repeating the same mistakes from 2024

Dan Pfeiffer
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the hell the Senate Democrats are doing in Maine — the most important Senate race in the country. Their decision to back Janet Mills suggests they have learned no lessons from our loss in 2024.

I want to defeat Susan Collins. The enthusiasm I see for Platner is off the charts and I think he can do that. I prefer his age, temperament and platform to Janet’s - but I have a lot of respect for her and will rank her second. If she wins the primary I will be happy to support her.

Hi @aimsel.bsky.social

I loved your column on the Lilith Fair documentary today. Thank you.

Based on what I learned, I’m happy to support @grahamformaine.bsky.social

Excellent interview with @grahamformaine.bsky.social on this week’s WITHPod: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

If you’re interested in learning more about him, this is a great resource.

You should add the grateful dead

Hey, you could have just turned on your camera in LDM. We only knew you were smart and funny.

More importantly, Dominos? Clearly Cancun Ted has never been anywhere near Chicago.

Just another reason to watch the Big 10 instead of the SEC.

Anyone looking for a #fsharp developer part time? Piecemeal work, bug bounties or short project items?

And I’m glad I did. That money supported artists whose work was important to me.

But don’t you hate it when song lyrics get stuck in your head?

Would the best argument have been to hammer on Bork’s role in the Saturday Night Massacre?

There is no way the next Kennedy Center Honors event can compete with this. There is a reason Chicago rules.

The white album would seem an obvious choice

And here I thought it was Eb7#9no5.

I have very fond memories of my mom’s parents, both immigrants from Poland who lived in Chicago and Wisconsin. They made great pierogis.

That said, Dershowitz has no idea the size of the can of whoop-ass he just opened. I recommend everyone buy lots of popcorn.

fun news! I was laid off from Twilio.

going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week.

if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along!

reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

This comes to mind…

Seriously, I can’t stop thinking about this talk. Watch it.

YouTube video by TEDx Talks Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland

I’ve known @scott.hanselman.com for 2 decades as a colleague and friend. I’ve always respected his insight and thoughtfulness. He’s an excellent presenter and teacher.

This is his most thought provoking talk yet. Watch it. Ask what you’re delivering for others.

It reminds me of part of Frank Zappa’s testimony at the PMRC hearings in the 80s: that a warning label about language on rock albums would only encourage bands to have lyrics that guaranteed the label. Because rock and roll.

She speaks truth. UIUC ‘86 here, major in CompSci/engineering. NCSA was awesome, and received multiple grants for different research activities.

My thought would be a drummer rug. They are supposed to dampen the sound from the kit
