I saw a comment online awhile back describing the current economy as "movie theater pricing but for everything." I find myself remembering that comment after taking my daughter to a movie today. My first time in a theater since before covid I think. $32 for 1 adult and 1 kid ticket!!

Today is off to a great start! I had a nice morning with my daughter before I took her to school, then I sat down to start at work and found my PR had a review from the legendary @josevalim.bsky.social! It's such a privilege to work somewhere with a Dashbit dev subscription. ❤️

"Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available." Polio: 23k paralyzed Measles: 290k deaths Rubella: 41k born w/ congenital rubella syndrome Diphtheria: 138k-1M deaths

NEW: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been transforming a government that long championed vaccines into one that questions their safety. This is what could happen over the next 25 years if shots are unavailable even to the people who want them.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

I made a PR at work that reduces the time our test suite takes to run by more than 50% consistently and it makes me unreasonably happy. 😊

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

It’s fun setting up a new Linux machine and seeing the packages installing, recognizing things I used to contribute to. I miss those days.

If someone ever buys X, I hope they rename it to Twitter. Then every website or news broadcaster can start referring to it as Twitter (Formerly X (Formerly Twitter)).

I can’t believe I’m paying money to live in this horrible Airbnb. This person should be banned from the platform. Only 21 more days before I get to write this person a review.
