Who needs fireworks when you can have this sick drip like Anne Boleyn? youtu.be/_9gUAL2__js

I think it’s really important to think of the broader picture that AI paints.

I live in the backyard of one of the largest clusters of data centers on the East Coast. The environmental impact of AI is only beginning to be talked about and tech is turning a blind eye to this consequence.

Voronoi chart spotting!

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.

But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.

It's up to us to demand something better.

I'm wearing a black and brown floral babydoll dress with brown tights and brown calf-high boots (I really loved this outfit!)

I'm wearing the same black and brown floral babydoll dress, this time with a black studded denim vest, black leggings, and black ankle boots

Two party outfits for #TC25 after dark, days 1 and 2! #TC25OOTD Party #1 was a last-minute event for me so I had to improvise and do some wardrobe remixing with components from the outfit for Party #2 (tonight's!)

Desiree is my skirts and dresses partner in crime at #TC25!

My #TC25OOTD series returns on BlueSky and Threads this year. Trying to go more coastal grandma and Nancy Meyers’ inspired with temps in the mid-60s.

Please tag your #TC25 outfit photos and add/tag me too so I can repost widely!

18F has been working behind the scenes across the past couple of presidential administrations to improve US citizen access to services and vital information at a fraction of the cost to the US taxpayer.

This is exactly what the Musk people hate and want to disassemble.

The DOGE Purge: Empirical Evidence of Politically Motivated Firings And what it means for American Democracy

The DOGE Purge Isn’t About Efficiency—It’s an authoritarian tactic. I wrote a more in depth piece on the empirical evidence showing how liberal-leaning agencies are being disproportionately targeted and how this mirrors authoritarian strategies seen in Hungary and Turkey.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

If you’re a parent of young kids, or just a softie, you will likely need a box of tissues if you watch Wild Robot. One of the best animated films I’ve seen in years.

From the central atrium of the House of the Faun (VI, 12, 2) in Pompeii, one of three large pieces of a 'Nilotic' mosaic, showing a pinkish-colored hippopotamus, a mongoose and cobra, ducks, ibises, a crocodile, and lotus plants. In other words, a crowded day on the Nile! The incipient fight between the hippo and croc - as top predators on the river - brings the drama. Most of the lotus plants are in bud, and a couple of ducks are eating the blooms. 1st century BCE. Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (MANN inv. 9990 (b))

For #WorldHippoDay, here’s the long side of the Nilotic atrium mosaic from the House of the Faun in #Pompeii. Hippo vs. croc, with lots of ducks, lotus flowers, a mongoose and cobra, plus a couple of swamp hens and ibises. Open it up to see more. Fabulous.

Best scoreboard overlays I’ve seen are for the DP European Tour (golf) broadcasts. Easy to read, good contrast ratio of white text against dark blue and depending on the event will tell you when someone’s score moved up X places. It also helps that their broadcasts aren’t covered in ads.

What we all lose in Trump and Musk's attack on government data A wide array of government data and reports have been inaccessible after a Trump directive.

It's *our* data.

When I feel like I’m losing control of the moment, it’s important to:

1) Breathe deeply
2) Minimize focus on the sphere of concern
3) Get informed in small doses
4) Maximize focus and action on my sphere of influence in my community

Uhhhhh this post did not age well 🙃

I am nonbinary. The gender that no longer officially exists in the United States. I was offered the chance to change my gender designation to "X" on my passport and driver's license in 2023. I decided not to and here's why.

I found out the next circle of Dante’s Inferno and it’s an indoor playground on Saturdays blasting an EDM version of “Happy Birthday” on loop.
