For me, it's been New York or nowhere since Day 1 👶 and it always will be 🗽I always knew the people of New York would not bend the knee ✊ no matter what the fascist Oompa-Loompa-in-Chief lied to the contrary 🤡 and Mamdani's resounding victory backed by historic voter turnout is just the beginning 🇺🇸

> Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, “I know, I’ll use regexp", now you have two problems

It's amazing how even after all that time, the Internet I have known & loved is there. And the most recent comment is the most perfect book end imaginable 🤓

I knew speaking at @jsconf.bsky.social 2025 would be hard, because so much of what I had to talk about I learned from Mikeal Rogers – and am still learning even now. The goal of the talk was to tell part of that story, a story about how the web isn't finished, yet 💡

24 years ago I shipped my first piece of software from this building. Reflecting on that now the world and my life were set in motion in those weeks

You see, two weeks later a pair of commercial airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center a few blocks away

"It is really a passing of the era, not just a man" 💔 I cannot imagine my life had I not met Mikeal Rogers. I've said before that "JSConf changed my life" but behind the scenes there was always Mikeal.

You know.. life is funny..

If you don’t repeat the actions of your own success
You won’t be successful

You gotta know your own formula, your own ingredients

What made you, YOU..

In these times of strife, our anger is a gift ✊

Not a gift for ourselves, but a gift to the future 🚼

"We the people" must stand justly united when the courts and the rule of law are tossed aside ⚖️
I resent having to have so much anger in my heart all the time. Because it’s not my default. I’m a happy person by default.

Judge Ho should refuse to dismiss the Adams case and appoint a prosecution team from outside of the corrupt DOJ. There will be no shortage of former federal prosecutors who would accept the case, even on a pro bono basis and the court could allocate CJA or other court funds for all expenses.

✊⚖️No one is above the law ⚖️✊

The US Attorneys of the SDNY are showing the heroism we need from our judiciary today

Scotten was already a hero: he received two bronze stars in Iraq. He's also a staunch Conservative who clerked for the Hon John Roberts

Wake up, Congress!
