Hi. I’m a father of two, software engineer (BSEE, MSCS), private pilot (ASEL, IR, AGI, IGI), and author. I’m also coordinator of the IMC Club Nashua chapter and a former IETF regular. I’m here because Twitter has become less inviting than the flaming dumpster floating by on route 51.

Someone talked about surf n turf today, so I wanted surf n turf. Didn’t have fettucine so I decided to make that from scratch. Hand-grated the cheese for the sauce, and tossed on some steak and lobster

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.

Together with other scientists I’m suing the 🇺🇸 US National Institutes of Health for violating our 1st Amendment rights & censoring our health science. I’m ready to shine a light on the darkest days. Buckle up, read on. This gets pretty wild… THREAD

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Stumbled into this hilarious account. bsky.app/profile/gork...

I’m mildly annoyed that “Party Down” exists. It’s like it was just ret-conned into the entire 21st century comedy universe.

🍲 A thick, storm‑ready chowder of chicken, potato, and corn, finished with shrimp sautéed in bouillon and spices. Garnished with scallions, thyme, and fennel fronds; a hearty bowl to see you safely to port. #TheOutpost #Cooking #Cooksky #Foodsky #Recipe #Chowder Click here for recipe 🍽️🍜👨‍🍳🐝🦋

I had the privilege of finishing my training & checking out on the Consolidated PBY Canso yesterday. One of WWII’s great flying boats, this one was built in Montreal in 1944 and has an extensive history of military and waterbomber service. Looking forward to flying passenger rides in summer 2027!

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

My man looks like a beluga whale pitching Bitcoin

NEW: Emma Joyce died at 3 years old. The next year, her sister Ava Joan died. Then their brother died from the same complication of untreated diabetes that killed Ava Joan. Later, a fourth sibling died. Their parents believed in prayer, not medicine.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Oveur speaking.

Oh my. *starts popping corn* www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

obsessed with this clip of Ken Jennings supporting class revolution on his original Jeopardy run lmao

Jesus Christ, this article will enrage you like nothing else

In the last decade, the IDF prosecuted one (1) soldier for unlawfully killing a Palestinian in the occupied territories. Elor Azaria served 9 months in prison. Today Israel's president, Yitzhak Herzog, pardoned him and expunged his criminal record. A clear message of 100% impunity.

skipped a pretty key step in the movie review process here

I feel like I went from "wasn't he the singing soldier in Game of Thrones?" to "what a spineless git" in record time.

Did Pluto write this?

🇹🇭Nene Royal🇹🇭 doing Metallica's Master of Puppets. She's pretty damn good. Only 16 but you'd think she's a seasoned rock goddess with how confident she blasts through it. 🤘🤘🎸

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

IF YOU’RE IN LINE TO VOTE FOR SETH MOULTON THEN YOU MUST BE SETH MOULTON BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE DID.

Well, that didn’t take long. Thank goodness . www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/01/n...

RIP to the belle of Pigeon Forge, a true humanitarian, an astonishing talent.

My first grandchild, Riley, was born two hours ago. Mother and daughter are doing well.

Some mornings, I reread bug reports and fixes that I've written over the years, back when skill was valued and sloperators didn't exist. Then I get into my van and my new career of carpentry feeling relief that I don't have to deal with that crap again.

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

Lol. Evergreen message here. “Advise ready to copy.”

Welcome to life in 2026, where the lion’s share of what passes for political discourse consists of Explaining Extremely Obvious Things to People Who Refuse to Listen

He's going to steal them both?

Web designers: does that “don’t ask again” or “stay logged in” checkbox ever connect to anything? I can’t say I’ve run into a web site where it actually saves that selection, and instead will prompt me over and over again. If you can’t make it work, why do it at all?

The Seth Moulton campaign just admitted to Politifact that their Epstein accusation against Markey is false. The most desperate and dishonest political campaign I have ever seen.

No cheating. Post your lock screen.

I’ve been waiting for a long time to post this. It’s August 4th, 2026. www.btboces.org/Downloads/7_...
