"Koenig tells of series creator Gene Roddenberry’s insistence on ethnic diversity in Star Trek, and why he believes it is a key to the franchise’s ongoing success." Don't miss this half-hour with Walter 🖖

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Twenty-four years ago today, on October 25, 2002, Minnesota lost Senator Paul Wellstone. We also lost his wife, Sheila, and their daughter, Marcia. Campaign staffers. Today, take moment to honor Wellstone's amazing legacy.

Fire everyone on the cybersecurity team who had anything to do with this. What are you even testing here?

There’s details in this that are notable, but overall absolutely amazing. I imagine most of us will eventually know someone who’s life was saved because of this. Star Trek level technology here.

Patched 5 companies production PHP today. That was fun.

This is awful, but I appreciate how much the idiots in charge of CBS are doing to let the entire world know that they are no longer a legitimate news organization.

Y'all! Check out this human made game! I've met this human! In meatspace! They're super cool and it would be super cool if they got some attention!

oh it's bad. oh it's BAD bad. oh this is CATASTROPHIC, drop-whatever-you're-doing-and-patch-NOW levels of bad cert.europa.eu/publications...

Been playing MTG Arena through Steam running in an isolated docker container… in the browser. On my 2018 MBP Intel with a Touch Bar running Arch Linux (perfectly, I’ll add). It’s really really great on many levels.

These fuckers need to be punished. Particularly this asshole.

NICE. Want.

I'm going to win *MANY* games with Worf. Neat.

Kelvin Waves are one of the coolest things. Only knowable at a global level, but can be incredibly important at the local level. This is a good explanation of them. Hadn't heard before now that one hit and likely made the flooding worse in SoCal.

West Wing level answer.

How to Turn on the Surveillance Layer 👁️

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Anyone on the BlueSky play Civ 7 recently? How has it held up with post-launch updates, etc? Considering buying it now, got the Civ urge. Civ 6 is just fine too, however.

Actually, because of this publicity stunt, I learned about this, which is WILD. bsky.app/profile/bree...

Oh this is totally it.

We're going to be a dumb society, aren't we?

Thinking about that time my boss scolded me and another person for using the wrong shade of yellow on the website — on her monitor alone — and threatened to fire us. It’s still the dumbest thing ever to happen. She wouldn’t “listen to my excuses.” It’s now an infamous event in my social circle.

Whomst among us has never tripped over the seismograph while going to microwave our Cup O’ Noodles?

Wow. I want to know the story behind this. A false alert of a ***9.9 Magnitude** earthquake. 😮 That would be the largest in recorded history by far. I think it’s even impossible? Maybe a small moon hitting us would generate that? Someone smarter than me do the math on how absurd this is.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

software engineer peeps -- why does go not have case statements in switch fall through to the next condition, like c and everything else? This seems like a paradigm I'm not noticing.

My ADHD is through the fucking roof lately. There's not enough adderall in the world for me, imo.

Wow! As an engineer, I TOTALLY want to work for Epic Games now! Let's VIBE CODE our way to surpassing Steam!

12 creatures brought in with Superior Spider-Man + Bringer of the Last Gift. I feel bad, sometimes.

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your CV? Person who wrote the layout engine for Microsoft Word: absolutely not

ZACHARIA: “THIS IS A PRESIDENT AND ADMINISTRATION THAT IS LOOKING OUT FOR YOU”

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Trump can't even Fascism correctly. All this is going to do is empower Ihan and all of the state's moral citizens. Time to make fucking with MN backfire on the shitheel-in-chief, again.

Star Trek (1966) "The MIT Museum unveiled an extraordinary piece of television and cultural history: the original 33-inch Starship Enterprise model that helped define sci-fi and sparked generations of scientific ambition." It will remain on public display at the Museum through March 28, 2027. 🔽

I have no idea if Pavarotti was friends with Trump. I know with 100% certainty that people in the NY Opera world hated him and he was nothing but an annoying ant always trying to sit at the big kids table (literally). He's pretending he has friends.

Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.

Foucault is rolling over in his grave. The carceral state is behaving exactly as it should, and we have made progress only to entrench the structures that have bound humanity for millennia. Failed state.

I hope Trump keeps being obsessed with Minnesota. He lost. He's a fucking loser. Let him come again, we'll show him how pathetic he is, again.
