I want to thank all of the olds around the world for your hard work. Together we successfully made 6-7 so uncool that it had been eradicated from youth speech like smallpox from this earth. Congratulations on a job well done.
I love you, DC, but Seattle coffee is just on another level.

Got an email this morning from our pediatrician’s office basically saying “The CDC is lying and Robert Effing Kennedy is full of shit.”

@peter If ONLY they had built Bluesky with a protocol that could somehow be resilient to a single service bringing down the entire network. 🤔

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I know most people care about the Post for national political coverage, but it was also once DC's primary local news source. For those looking for local DC journalism, I'd encourage them to support 51st.news, which rose from the ashes of DCist after WAMU unceremoniously shuttered it.

My team at Apple is looking for a senior back-end engineer with experience in Java, Spark, authentication & authorization protocols, and building services with HTTP & GRPC. Protocol-level knowledge of HTTP and TCP/IP for moving around huge files is a huge bonus.

@ebooksyearn@thepit.social I’d like to find the perfect Grosse Point Blank gif for you. But it’s past my bedtime.

@peter My personal take is that the stock market is wildly inflated because of the COVID bail outs. The math is so simple: all that extra money very quickly is captured by the top of the capital pyramid, but then… what do you do with it? You can only build so many rockets and buy so many yachts, so what do you do? Buy stocks. So 100s of billions of new dollars are dumping into the market, driving up prices. It’s all been a bubble since COVID.

Good news for the 2035 remake of Back To The Future, though, when the props team is trying to find a stainless steel car that flopped as badly as the DeLorean.

Every governor of every state opposed to Trump’s planned attempts to hijack the 2028 election and stay in power should be preparing now to protect their elections — from paid, well-trained staffers all the way down to deploying their National Guard to defend their voting infrastructure from the federal government.
MCPS!

@peter@thepit.social Random reinforcement is the most effective in behavioralism, so what they need to do is enter people who DO spray water on the pee into a monthly lottery for €10,000.

@cammerman@mstdn.social I'm at best 50/50 on what I need to build before I start making changes. 😅

There is a big ol' house fly in my office. WTF?
At what point do FOSS nerds end up starting non-profit data center co-ops that serve at-cost hosting to members? Does the capital outlay required to build a modern data center make that impossible?
It is very wet and slushy.

@fedward@distraction.party No way — that cortado was caramel and hazelnut, sweet and smooth. Monorail Espresso is one of my favs and does not disappoint.
