Pete Hegseth just ordered Cyber Command to stand down in Russian planning. The arguments it incentivizes a halt to war, taken in stride with the Machiavellian display in the White House in Russia’s favor, really suggests Hegseth is not acting in the United States’ best interest .

Spring 10U baseball is starting up! Got a great seat. It’s a great age because they’re getting more physical and skilled. The real drawback is the occasional projecting parent, which really isn’t too bad. At least in Texas, flag football was wayyyy worse.

Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward. They can't just wish it away unless we let them.

Any other #discworld fans out there found a (reputable) source for an iPhone Bingley-bingley-beep ringtone?

Am I annoyed that it seems the world is nearly two years behind the rest of us on this? YES. Am I glad that it’s finally happening? YES.

So grateful for Martin Luther King day. We have two fantastic groups all geared up and ready to rumble. @earthjustice.bsky.social and the @aclu.org We've worked with both and can assure you they're prepared to take on any challenge. Don't let it consume you But also don't turn a blind eye

Megamind is a cinematic masterpiece. Don’t care how long it took me to watch it. Master. Piece.

I just finished #thelastarchitect series by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It was stupendous. I picked it up as a random Reddit recommendation for Sci-Fi and couldn’t put it down. Well-developed, well-imagined. Team Olli, all the way. @aptshadow.bsky.social

the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would make the floppy drive start clicking out insults in Morse code about your mom. They put it in the corner to avoid the shame. I hit it at gma’s. Gpa’s railroad training kicked in and I got grounded.

Meet the destroyer HMS Glowworm. In April 1940 she was forced to fight the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper, ten times her size, and Hipper's destroyer escorts. Her extraordinary last stand earned her captain the first Victoria Cross of WW2. In part because THE GERMANS nominated him for one /1 🧵

@mlgardner.bsky.social yay!

This woman gets me. #discworld #postmasterlipwig #goingpostal

It’s missing the black felt, but…

Has anyone created an app to filter out twitter reposts? (The screenshot ones?)

Anybody know what to do when poop water gets into and sets off your whole-home wired fire alarm system? #askingforafriend

My therapist last week described coping with stress and ADHD like this: It’s like you’re wandering around in a fog, and to escape the fog, you feel like you have to move fast toward anything that might be a way out, only to find that it wasn’t the way out, and move on to the next. I felt seen.

What’s with everyone still posting X screenshots? I’m not sure I like points made here that were already made there. If the audience there is deaf, then try it out clean here and see if this one is, too.

One of the things I find difficult about parenting a three-year-old is predicting the chances I’ll be yelled at for offering her the food she literally just asked for. It’s usually 60/40 for yelling, if not outright disappointment, then I forgot to cut the waffles in half and how dare I.

Ernst Mach, whose name you know from the Mach numbers (Mach 1, Mach 5 etc) was also a philosopher and artist who was obsessed with sensation, the below is a self portrait of him called "View from the left eye."

Anyone in the #sre or #businessintelligence space work with data lakes? Trying to wrap my head around correlative analytics using normalized data from different sources and I can’t help but feel like this has probably been solved. Where does one start?

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” -- James Baldwin, who died #OTD 1987

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

Fellow #adhd adults: Ever since childhood, I have gotten a glass of water, started drinking it, then decided it was taking too long / kinda sucked / wasn’t thirsty anymore, and I habitually dump out the rest. I try to only get what I’ll drink, but fail sometimes. Anyone else do this?

Note this down

Happy Thanksgiving. I’m replaying Horizon: Zero Dawn after purchasing the Remastered edition ($10) and I’m deeply impressed. There are a few gotchas but the community has many fixes and developers are pumping out patches. Highly recommend that game.

me: i need to transfer a blender file to my desktop my ADHD: what i'm hearing is we need a dedicated home file server me: that sounds reasonable

This week, I was challenged by the universe to address with my therapist(s) my defensiveness. I pondered on my tendency to be defensive, to be distrusting and unforgiving. I’ve struggled with my own deep desire for validation, and lack of tools to provide it for myself. “Intrinsic self worth.”
