My tolerance for the public transit option taking longer and being full of people has gone up in proportion with the time I've spent in the back of questionable ride shares.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Has anyone like, checked in on what the president's algorithm is showing him? Like, "Portland is literally burning to the ground" -- is that a lie to justify intimidating liberal cities... Or is he watching AI generated content of.. Portland burning to the ground?

I don't know what we do with the Senate, but why is she not House Minority Leader already (I know why, you don't have to tell me) This is showing the fuck up for your job and showing the fuck up for your community, which, when you are a politician, *IS YOUR FUCKING JOB*

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

With kindness, because Gergely says a lot of smart things, I disagree. This is classic hindsight bias. Telling someone "if only you had done this, everything would've been fine!" is ignoring all of the work a team does otherwise. That doesn't help you be more robust or more resilient.

Whoa - Datadog's largest-ever outage in 2023 was caused by the same thing as Heroku's largest-ever one this June. Same OS version (Ubuntu 22.04), same process (sytemd) If Heroku had done the same changes Datadog publicly shared in 2023, Heroku's outage would not have happened.

I think of an incident retro as akin to meeting with customer to discuss their needs. Spending that time discussing how you’ll build a solution is not a good use of the limited time you have with them. Instead, we should use that time to understand their problems and context. Solutions come later.

Yes! Get those walkable neighborhoods humming. We don't want 400 flat mega apartments that span multiple blocks. Just build 6 floors of apartments wherever 2 floor duplexes are being replaced. laist.com/news/housing...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau created a rule capping account overdraft fees at $5, which the agency estimates could save people nationwide $5 billion. But a bill coming up for a vote in the U.S. House this week would repeal it, allowing banks to charge up to $35 for these fees.

I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less. Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.
