Envious of my fellow Charlotteans as they witness the monks from TX pass through. Safe passage towards DC!
In Germany rn, finding out @elbphilharmonie.de is hosting Noname + ensemble days after my intended return to the US might need to overstay my visa for this
Is joie de vivre a real thing? Yesterday gave me a glimpse. A Spaniard guiding an oblivious American through a city with a backpacking German recently in tow walk into a bar. hearty laughs had filled the room, recs made (and taken!), and a sorrow "ciao" to end. I wished for the day not to come.
Tell me why the USPS should be defunct? Two products, both beating private competitors on cost. While at a scale unseen by all private couriers combined. Why can’t private couriers offer anything other than regulatory capture? Media mail: $6 Prepaid: $18 Across the country.
we need to export freedom to the Bay Area by way of actual unhealthy food (Bojangles, Cookout, Waffle House) and tatte from Boston. the analogues here don't hit at all. It's embarrassing.
sf doomloop has shifted to this lovely boomloop that I’ve always wanted to bring back to clt good morning sf
. @empowa.bsky.social’s Art x Tech event is something to experience. An incredible ego-less space of presenters bringing their personal (non-commercial!) projects to the maxes. So fire.

NEW: The move to funnel $15 million for sexual assault survivors through a GOP-controlled commission is part of a pattern by the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature and judiciary to deprive elected Democrats of resources and powers. By @dougbockclark.bsky.social
A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price.
The move, which led to disruptions in services for sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, provides a glimpse of the consequences when a branch of government assumes unprecedented control.

@benstiller.redhour.com sorry for Knicks (go hornets) but great work on finishing out a beauty of a season. Excited for Season 3! #severance
AppleScript has to be the most jank OS automation tool in the business right now. I'm sure there's better alternatives but wow, it breaks until you have a magic run button click incantation that it happily executes and succeeds :)
"Efficiency" means better output over costs. That's not the same as simply reducing costs. Say you have a system that's 100 output for 10 cost. Taking it to 110 output for 8 cost -- that's efficiency. Taking it to 20 output for 5 cost is INEFFICIENT cost cutting.
Sitting in hotel lobbies working has been a boon for meeting people. Especially in dynamic cities like Paris, London, or my home SF.
How degen is it to respond in various degrees of hotness? her: “I have chronic anxiety” him: “that’s somewhat hot” him: “I binged all of west wing on 10x today” her: “that’s hot”

2025. Another year of expanding our frontier to cover new ground. Excited to get into more “good trouble,” make more incredible friends, and strengthen ties with existing ones. We’re building better stories.
Was just going over this year (and many years before that) and have just been taken aback by wha I’ve accomplished post high school and post college. How can I keep up
No matter where I open up my machine, I always have a terminal open for any quick edits.
