I want to interview people about their projects with particular attention to how codebases, documentation, project management tooling, and community spaces are constructed.

Ok, does anyone know what's up with giant lists of time zones? I'm constantly having to scroll them, searching for a city that I know is in the same time zone as me. How do they decide which options to use? I usually look for New York but it wasn't in the most recent picker. I ended up having to […]

My cat is terrified of me sneezing so when I get sick (like I am now) it's a bad time for both of us.
Conversely when she sneezes, I think it's the cutest thing in the world.

@admin yep, looks like 5-10 days it's left blank to see if it's removed, then it gets bridged to Bluesky and left alone again, then it gets connected to the spam firehose. If 1 follow (the bridge) and follow/followers is hidden from public, that's a strong signal.

Heated cat bed recommendations? I'm looking for something to put on my home office desk next to my computer, so my cat stops trying to crawl into my lap while I'm working.
Ideally something durable...the first couple beds I got her (years ago) she thought were toys and ripped them to shreds.

Every piece of reporting on today's draw needs to talk about ICE. How they make players and fans unsafe. How Trump won't rule out ICE raids at World Cup matches. How despite all that FIFA is "honoring" him today.

To the soccer fans/journos in DC for the World Cup draw:
For months we've walked past armed guards to get to soccer games. Meanwhile ICE has stolen hundreds of our neighbors. All on the orders of Trump, who's honored today.
Both the beautiful game, and our beautiful city, deserve better.

In a world where investment was directed via some sort of socialist, egalitarian, ranked choice voting mechanism, rather that private equity and VCs and billionaires, what do you think would be the most invested in tech of current moment and/or the last 10 years?

My cousin's boyfriend works as an Amazon delivery driver and, I learned over Thanksgiving, drivers *very* much still pee in bottles - they're just expected to do a better job of hiding it to give Amazon plausible deniability. Delightful! I love capitalism.
