So tired of saying it, but imagine Obama or Biden or Harris said any of this. We've normalized a malignant narcissist who fundamentally disrespects every aspect of his office.

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Poured some concrete footers today for an office shed.

“Babe, wake up. They merged Batch support into SolidQueue” 👀 👀 👀 Have been waiting for this email for a couple of years!

What if Google Search Console comparison reports worked the way they should? That's why I built the GSC Compare % Change Chrome Extension. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gsc-c... It shows % change for the comparison and matches day of week for year over year analyses. #seo #analytics #google

Super cool idea to be able to chat with the agent while looking at the document. Great way to keep the agent on the rails and focused while writing.

Surprise: I built a Mac app over the weekend (while on vacation 😎). It’s called Flywrite. It's a markdown writing app with a terminal built in, for people who write with Claude Code (or other agents). See the demo and join early access here: flywrite.app

I specifically requested no more metaphors

You guys, the White House accidentally ordered 10x the amount of Porta-Potties that they needed. The lawn is just acres of Porta-Potties. It’s all fenced off and you can’t see, but I took this photo through a hole in the fence netting.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Why are HTML <==> Markdown libraries always one-way? Seems like they either render Markdown as HTML, or they convert HTML to Markdown, but they never do both.

I heard there was a secret cord that David kept in his cable hoard but he can never find it when he needs it

New study of 15K URLs shows articles receiving Major Rewrites (30-100% of content) vastly outperform minor/moderate updates Interestingly, even "minor" rewrites, defined as 0-30% of content, still saw decay Is this a cutoff for "lastSignificantUpdate" per Google? republishai.com/content-opti...

Don’t talk about my dog like that.

...horrifying message without context, thank you

Bluesky really started to hum for me when I got these settings dialed in.

Just over 7 hours left to submit to @blueridgeruby.com! I want to read your talk proposal this week! 📖👀 blueridgeruby.com/cfp/

The suggested prompts in the Claude <> Google Calendar connector are coming at me way too hard today. Just trying to get a little personal organization work done here, ease up.

i have questions about saturday's scheduled activities at my grandmother's nursing home

Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

maybe a little website redesign will fix me

there should be a thing that reads your package.json and charges you $5/month per dependency - you don’t /have/ to! you could set the price to $1 per employee! - and then holds the funds and sends it to the people who made the code you use to do business how is not doing this more sustainable
