Anytime a registration/record system can correctly handle the hyphen in my last name, I give it an internal round of applause.

The Senate must immediately return to Washington and use our Constitutional powers to pass a War Powers Resolution to stop this. This war will not make us safer, nor will it help Americans afford groceries or health care or rent.

I live a very priviledged and insulated life for a trans person, but there are so many people who are exposed to way more than paper cuts during the witch hunts for the "evil trans". Imagine that your drivers license is invalid tomorrow. Imagine that its possible every night when you go to bed.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

I'm genuinely impressed by our new robot vacuum. We're mid-remodel and the map of the house changes each day with furniture and cabinet boxes being moved around. I wanted the bedroom cleaned - down the hall from the vacuum's home in my office.

Introducing Budget Bytes: Build Powerful AI Apps for Under $25 - Azure SQL Devs’ Corner

When developers hear “cloud” and “AI,” their first thought is often about cost. “How much will this cost me to learn? Can I build something meaningful without racking up a surprise bill?”   Budget…

It's that point in the planning cycle when you look around at feature plans for this semester and take a deep sigh before moving on.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.

Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Oooh, TIL. Worktrees would absolutely make it easier to "step out" to do something else in a repo when I also am working with an agent on a task.

If you’re not yet using worktrees - you should! Marco Haber explains why they make it super easy to switch between branches without stashing: www.marcohaber.dev/blog/git-wo... Curated in this week's #not-only-swift

An AI was (poorly) setup to assign work to people, and I do not have the patience for that kind of malpractice. If an AI is setup to scope work and propose it for further autonomous processing, great. Do not use AI to add to the burdens of fellow humans.

The Minnesota Attorney General's Office is asking residents to share information about the actions of federal agents in Minnesota, including those from the Department of Homeland Security, that have affected them or someone close to them.

Federal Action Reporting Form

This form is for reporting incidents or effects related to or caused by federal actions in Minnesota, such as business closures, reduced healthcare access, or use of physical force.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

The murder of Renee Good in Minnesota showcases how ICE has become a domestic terrorism group within the US. She did not need to die, her life did not need to end, and those cronies will continue their rampage until states intervene.

I've been consuming more via RSS the past 2 years - using newsboat and a rube-goldberg sync between machines. I loved it but now I'm trying Inoreader bc I wanted to read on mobile and have an easier time saving articles. For me RSS = less doom scrolling.

Caught the Breeze v Phantom game last night after putting in flooring for >4 hours and as a Storm fan I am so pumped for more Dom evolution.

There was a leak but not to the media

The Pebble OG was my first smart watch and I have a fuzzy warm feeling seeing it survive through the ether and have a revival. I still have the hardware (OG and Time) and the platform is so developer friendly so of course I'm feeling the pull to tinker.

Started the year by reaching my office in the remodel. I know I’m going to be so glad it was done but right now my brain is cycling through “OMG where is my home base?” and rational thought.

Somewhere out there is an alien civilization decoding the cultural and sociological importance of the sequence 6-7 and if they could send me their notes that’d be great.

We got a little snow! A crunchy dusting that will probably will be gone in just a few hours.
