Good morning, Bluesky!

Somebody thinks I type too much.

Jasper, our youngest cat, flops onto my keyboard after displacing the mouse. (Was he punning when he knocked my mouse to the floor?)

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

So let me see if I understand Mike Johnson, me attending the “No Kings” this weekend make me “hate America”, and “pro-Hamas”. I say to him eat shit!! I served this country in the military for over 20 years. I consider protesting the basis of why I served.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Neck pain woke me at 2:00 AM. 😩 No position relieved the pain, so I got out of bed and started work. 

I always start early, but rarely _this_ early. ⏰

Breaking around 7:30 to meet a friend for breakfast. ☕️

The US Navy paid Lyft to make the little cars into fighter jets on Columbus Day, all circling around your exact location.

Screenshot of a map with lots of little fighter jets all over it, but also notices of available bikes. It says The Navy is Turning 250!

1,500 people. 70 countries. No office. Millions of documented words. Most companies would call this chaos. We call it Tuesday. Here's how #Automattic turned distributed work into a communication culture that actually scales.
