It’s wild to think the BurntToast #PowerShell module has been making Windows notifications for 10 years.
In our latest PowerShell Podcast episode, I got to chat with its creator @toastit.dev about finally hitting version 1.0 after a decade of community love and iteration.

During Thanksgiving and holidays, people want to do food drives where they collect canned goods etc... and I really would love to offer that food banks need MONEY so if you can collect and donate MONEY please do that. They can then use those funds to purchase what's needed AT DISCOUNTS.

It is best to assume everyone at the protest is a fed, including yourself. Never trust yourself. You never know when you'll turn fed.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,
don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.
Don’t bother.
Please.
And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.
