@jeffjarvis.bsky.social: The Ellison’s are looking to buy THIS company with the help of the FCC

This video from Jameela Jamil on Substack is 🎯

Where is Nancy Mace?!

1. She sits on Oversight Comm.
2. She worked SO hard to protect bathrooms in the Capitol.

Seems like our new secret police should worry her, no?

Unless you write state machines, then you get documentation for free 😏
A statechart that defines logic for managing characters in the TTRPG game “Candela Obscura” Statecharts are the visual extension of code. They look a lot like flowcharts and automatically update when your code changes.

I do! I love that machine testing is a perfect fit for Jest suites.

For the past 3 yrs, I’ve slowly been convincing teams to ditch Jest for any test that renders UI.

Machine testing is essentially testing `state + event = newState + effects` across each transition.

PAM BONDI: “Look these toddlers were obviously criminals.

See that Elmo tattoo! What could it mean?!

el-M-o was introduced to…
Sesame Street in the…

13th season 🤯

God only knows what terror these children are capable of!!!”

You know #SignalGate is bad when the talk radio hosts have to fallback to spinning 3 hours of trans panic.

Pravda Pete Kaliner never was the sharpest crayon in the box.

My #BlueSkyLullaby for these chaotic and uncertain times.

No I won’t shed a single tear
Just as long as you stand by me 🎶

So I'm reading about Minnesota's Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) program in @jennifersenior.bsky.social book “All Joy and No Fun” and my jaw is on the floor!

Why doesn't this exist in every state?
Can I at least find some program similar to this here in NC?!

So far it seems unique to MN
A highlighted paragraph from Jennifer Senior's book "All Joy and No Fun" it reads… "The first half of each class is straightforward, with parents and children interacting in a group facilitated by ECFE's staff of early childhood education professionals. But the second half-that's when things get interesting. The parents leave their kids in the hands of those same professionals and retreat to a room of their own, where for sixty blissful minutes they become grown-ups again. Coffee is consumed; hair is let down; notes are compared. A parent educator always guides the discussion."

When I’m CEO of @therealhtmx.bsky.social I will make sure the BlueSky profile account is converted to @htmx.org

I’m ashamed to admit that I was following an imposter account for way too long.

@bsky.app shall not be deprived of Carson’s legendary memeing!

So if Zuck is Daggett and Trump is Bane in this analogy…

Where does that leave all of the @thebulwark.bsky.social family fighting for "small l" liberalism?

I think we're the Gotham PD trapped in the tunnels 😬
An excerpt from the screenplay for Dark Knight Rises… "EXT. STREET, DOWNTOWN GOTHAM - DAY Snow blankets the street. A Tumbler carves tracks as it patrols the deserted street. Blake peers from behind a parked car - he is crouched, feeding a kite string down a storm drain. INT. SEWER TUNNEL - CONTINUOUS Ross strains to reach a note dangling on a string - he grasps it. All around him are dozens of Cops living underground... EXT. GOTHAM STREET - CONTINUOUS Blake winds the string, picks up a jerrycan, hurries off.

I feel like this only qualifies as a “hidden gem” on @bsky.app

Over on #TechTwitter, Carson’s memes are legendary.

Dear @barkbox.bsky.social, your Advent Calendar make life very difficult for us toddler parents.

My 2 yr-old loves to give treats to our Great Dane, but the ones with icing present a lesson in Schrödinger’s meltdown.

Today he opted to keep the treat and eat the icing himself 🙈

Saw this on the other app and it made me nostalgic for Twitter’s olden days…
A tweet from David Hines (@hradzka) that reads… *Langley, 1995* CIA AGENT. "Look forward. Further. Further. To the year 2024. What do you see?" REMOTE VIEWER. *scribbles on paper* CIA BOSS. "What's it say?" CIA AGENT. "It says... "Hawk Tuah Meme Coin" CIA BOSS. "And you assholes have been at this since '78? Shut it all down"

My “CTO” title is purely ceremonial. It’s for the school bus I’m converting in my spare time 😅

But my day job is with Ally Bank as an engineering manager.
A short yellow school bus that my wife and I converted into an RV. An in-progress photo of the bus interior. Wood framing shows the beginning of a bench seat on the left side. The frame of a platform bed can be seen in the back of the bus. An in-progress photo of our bus conversion. The interior is almost complete. The bench seating has wooden seats and a mini kitchen can be seen on the right side.
