“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity” Nice
Incredible that the Democrats now have their own Joe the Plumber only instead of a plumber it’s an autoworker and instead of taxes on small businesses his issue is “the president seems to be covering up for a ring of pedophiles.”
“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.”

16 hours in, my guess this was all intended basically as a coup to put VP Delcy Rodriguez in power (likely without her knowledge but 🤷).
At least for democracy & human rights, that might be even worse than the "opening shots in a war" scenario.
All speculation, but let me explain:

It’s so funny to me when people on LinkedIn post like it’s Facebook (or Bluesky). I just saw an old colleague post an AI generated image of a postbox with a dire warning about GOP delay voting.
I thought LinkedIn was just for finding a job and posting corpo-speak aphorism

low stakes posting today reminds me that 1) Facebook is for talking to people you know IRL but don’t like and 2) microblogging sites are for talking to people you don’t know but do like.

Sorry @spavel.bsky.social for dumping this thread into your replies. I guess it’s something I didn’t know I wanted to talk about
“Deterministic Automation” In complex software, especially legacy systems, we’re always trying to get to determinism. There’s a web of dependencies, services, blobs of software no one has touched for a decade.

The Trump administration is trying to cut off access to gender affirming care. I am with the transgender and nonbinary community in this moment of anger and fear. We cannot, and will not, let this stand.

The sandwich story is ultimate Brooks
I took my friend with only a high school degree to a fancy party and saw his face freeze up at the terminology being used by the elite. “Hebephile?” “Ephebophile?” I quickly asked him if he wanted to go somewhere else and he anxiously nodded yes and so we went to a Trump rally.
