Senator Traditional was the author of the law that gave us 401k accounts. Which was a good, clear start but sadly Senator Roth didn’t have as thematic of a name.

And I spent more time modding this game than I did playing it.

My labeler will only accept reports for app.bsky.feed.like records. It will be an unlikabler.
🏷️ devs and mod service operators! 🏷️

got a proposal up about moderation report routing.

this is basically a small update to let moderation services ("labelers") declare what kind of reports they are willing to receive.

implementation on this is under way and we hope to ship it soon

WA friends you can email your state senator and rep really easily here, like I just did: leg.wa.gov/legislators. This is SB 5352 and HB 1404.
I’m supporting State Senator Marcus Riccelli and Representative April Berg’s legislation to pass free school meals for all Washingtonians.

Right now, the child of a single parent working 40 hrs/week making $19 an hour does not qualify for free school meals. That must change.

This game is excellent and I recommend it to anyone who likes logic puzzle games.

I started it when it released on PC but quickly decided it would fit into my life better on my phone.

Since the big text didn’t adequately warn me, I propose there should be a consumer safety rule requiring a checkbox at checkout “warning: this product is known to the government to infect your house with glitter. Are you sure?” for anything containing the contagion. @cpsc.gov who is working on this?

Apropos of nothing today the backyard lights couldn’t be turned on (among many other broken things) because of a DNS configuration change I made weeks ago whose compatibility side effect finally surfaced.

Why does this very dusty game console in the room we never use need updates? Whose fault is this???

Yesterday I accidentally posted a reply as a regular post. A few people have quoted it in replies, as a way to reply to other people from me

To help facilitate this I will now post a set of generic "reply posts" that you can use in future conversations

One of the great things about working in the gaming industry is my lifetime of work is not likely to be summarized to “desk killer.”
“The public reaction to the coldblooded killing of a CEO should serve as a wakeup call to other practitioners of corporate greed: While your wealth and status may garner respect in life, the same guarantee cannot be made in death.”

My latest:
Breaking the norms of death
A healthcare CEO was shot dead. Many are glad. What now?
