Every American war will now be fought in 59-day increments.
Drove up 395 from #Disneyland to #Truckee with the fam today. I had never driven that stretch before. It was brain-meltingly beautiful. The Eastern Sierras are not fucking around!

"Recovering" from jet lag with a little Hüsker Dü.
And coffee.
One last bird, a common mynah, before we hit the road.
Hello jet lag my old friend.

Virgina is for lovers of #XML.
(Virginia’s license plate format is ABC-1234 [3 letters + 4 digits] so this is not a vanity plate, just a lucky Virginian helping spread the good word)
Look, both David Sacks *and* #GrowSF suck.
In fact, I had always assumed David Sacks was a sponsor of GrowSF’s pro-cop, anti-progressive agenda.

Glad I renewed my passport last year.
What a monstrosity.
Also the new passport looks awful too.
I fully support the flight path our captain has chosen.
I ♡ #Mastodon and the #fediverse.
Jack is drunk-tweeting again.
"Write Once. Run Forever." is a fantastic documentary on the #Java programming language.
Worth watching no matter what your favorite programming language is.

Wired: ✽ Compacting conversation…
On today's show we tried really, uh, hard not to kink shame Donald Trump, but like @jay@macaw.social pointed out, the actual author of the President's horny "Truth" was most likely Dan Scavino.
So I guess we tried to not kink shame Dan? 🤔
We also got into some early #Twitter innovations discussing a never-launched service called "Harvey".

@mdiluz@mastodon.gamedev.place @aslakr@mastodon.social it’s not that scary once you find out it is just T or F in NY, NJ, or CT.
An essay by @ftrain@tilde.zone that captures some of the feels a lot of us are having at this current, weird moment.
Good night Sandusky.

No #IanAndJaySpaceOut this morning because am on a plane.
"The F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, came tearing across the hallway with two men in tow; his girlfriend was hiding in a room with another man who was holding her hand."
Whatever the follow-ups to this story are, I am looking forward to the "Kash Patel is a beta cuck" memes.
A country of geniuses in a datacenter, all of them waiting for some idiot to answer:
Yes
Yes, and don't ask again

@ed_blackburn *both* teams are very capable, and I believe that both of them are driving the Java and JVM ecosystem in really important ways, but the fact that there are effectively *two*teams highlights, IMO, a problem.
I don;t necessarily want one or the other to "win", but I want them both to compete for the benefit of the Java and JVM community at large.
Good news everyone! The Strait of Hormuz is not not blocked anymore!
#BART delay in SFO direction because of police activity in SF.
RIP, Andy Hino. An old friend I’d lost touch with over the years. Just heard he passed away this week. Sending good vibes and love to his close friends and family.
A lot of fond memories and incredible stories of Andy will stay with so many of us who were lucky enough to hang out with him.

@synec that Toot was inspired by the book I am reading on the plane right now. Any guesses?
