This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

This is why you need a robust team of SWQA engineers integrated into your entire product lifecycle stack; the sooner we're involved the better and more thorough testing we can do to ensure that systemic failures like this don't make it to customers.

It's not just reputation at risk here; lives too.

Calling all investors - my consulting revenue is up 10000% year over year with no signs of slowing down.

Please don't perform any due diligence or you might learn that my primary customer is also owned by me, but somehow I'll pretend that isn't a total fraud.

This pitiful monarchist loser knows Americans hate kings, and that is good.

Find a #NoKings protest near you and GO on 10/18, friends. It'll be inspiring and fun and it will help.

This is such a niche ask for a family member but if you found a car key fob and some other keys on the LES last night send me a message. Likely near Essex and Stanton 🫠

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

If productivity gains with AI use were truly so large, orgs wouldn't be regularly asking me how to audit which staff are using AI vs not.

The only tool you should need is managers telling you who is 10%+++ more effective since you deployed the new AI tooling. Unless of course those claims are... 🤔

But he's also right here. The productivity gains aren't as advertised.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Stop letting Illinois Law Enforcement aid and abet the gestapo. Seriously, man. You may not be able to stop ICE altogether, but you CAN stop making it easier for them to do the evil things they are doing.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”
