Engineer in EC2 at AWS. Boater. Tinkerer. Views are my own.
I’m so confused. Who is the “conservative” and who is the “communist”? Cutting red tape / regulation for small businesses and supporting services to support small businesses is pretty conservative (in the old school sense). I hope Mandami is able to get some of this in place.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
Some changes that they can look forward to:

If you’ve ever wondered how AWS builds the software stacks for new Regions, Availability Zones, and Local Zones check out the re:invent session “Building at global scale: Engineering AWS expansion (ARC312)”. We will go under the hood on how we bootstrap new infrastructure. #reinvent2025

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.
“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

A flash survey shows that fewer than 2% of New Yorkers will be flipping their vote to Cuomo following Donald Trump's last-minute endorsement. But at this Washington Post editorial board meeting, that number seems much higher.

I’m so old I remember when the normal response of folks in the tech community after an incident was “don’t dunk on companies - it happens to everyone #hugops”. I liked those responses better than trolling and “hot takes”.
