@cliffjenkins.bsky.social puts a live mission time/distance display on his slide footers for "What If Voyager Launched in 2026 — and Ran Python?" - really drives home the timescale and ongoing nature. #pyohio
So happy for PyCon, humankind, etc. Thank you @kattni.bsky.social!

I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 min. He apologized for not convicting Trump for January 6th and said that Lindsey Graham is a sissy who is too scared to bring Russian sanctions forward despite promising it for a year. It was a pleasant conversation
Just a reminder that there's only about a week left to leave comments on the OMB proposal that will cripple federally funded research. Here's my attempt to convince you that you should, along with info on how to do so effectively.

It's unthinkable that a U.S. Senator would vote against releasing the Epstein files instead of demanding accountability. But that's exactly what Jon Husted did. Even worse, just weeks before that vote, Husted accepted a maximum campaign contribution from one of Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators.
In contrast, 18F built the US Tax Court a case management system for about $1.5m/year bsky.app/profile/rand...
Free Law Project ⚖@free.law · last mo.The federal judiciary just announced that its raising PACER fees to pay to modernize the system. They are estimating about $125,000,000 per year to do the work. That number is simply unmoored from reality. It's enough money to pay over 600 people $200k salaries! 1/3 www.uscourts.gov/data-news/ju...

For decades, the IRS audited every President's return automatically, every year. The public deserved that reassurance.
Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov · 3mo agoDonald Trump's settlement makes it official government policy that Trump, his family, and his political allies are above the law. It's outrageously corrupt, and it must be stopped. I'm pressing for answers NOW.
My cat just made his first request to an LLM (`-0p[[[[<ENTER>`). No harm done yet, but it seems like an ominous precedent.
We got a spearphishing email last night from an address just barely different from our pastor's. I think only AI can make attacks on tiny little institutions like a small Methodist church practical; we would never be worth the human effort.
We're excited to share a new sponsor for the #PyOhiothon #fundraiser! Al Sweigart (@alsweigart.bsky.social), author of "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python," is supporting #PyOhio with a ✨ $1000 ✨ match! Al is an accomplished author, speaker, and community member and we thank him wholeheartedly!🙏
This. Was. GREAT. The script... is one of Shakespeare's most obscure, for good reason! But making campy SF of it, leaning hard into the memorable characters and the COSTUMES - yes. Perfect choices.
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company@cincyshakes.bsky.social · 4mo agoTravel with us to the farthest reaches of Shakespeare's canon. "Pericles" is an out-of-this-world adventure across the galaxy that you do not want to miss!
Pondful of frogs abruptly hush at my footsteps, like partying adolescents at the sound of Mom's car
Etiquette on submitting a conference talk that's all about a piece of commercial fiction? Like, it feels like shilling or advertising, but it would make ideal fun Python problems to work through.
Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

TNR says this was "at an Easter Lunch reception at the White House". Easter.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 4mo agoTrump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
A dramatic spring evening, thrilling with lightning, thunder, wind, and scads of sprint peepers.
Dang, Andor is a good re-watch. S1E3 hits especially hard after Minneapolis.
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Remember this? “If you take out Saddam, I guarantee you it will have enormously positive impact in the region" A million people died, an entire society was destroyed in a War based on a complete lie.
