Christian Nationalists are treating the Epstein files like they treat their Bibles and our Constitution: They are *ignoring* them.

The view from Upper Peterโ€™s Canyon looking northernly across the reservoir with foothills and a snow capped Mount San Antonio in the background. Trees and other foliage line the banks of reservoir.

It was a beautiful day for hike in Peterโ€™s Canyon. Mount Baldy (San Antonio) is always a great sight ๐Ÿ˜

Shit, the internet is the Tower of Babel, isn't it? Not in a literal sense but in a "this thing that was meant to bring us together is, in the end, driving us apart as it crumbles" way. Huh.

30 something years of writing some form of `ps -ax | grep appname` and while looking over what actually comes in procps I learn I could have just typed `pgrep appname` instead, and the output can be directly piped into other commands. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ its so much tidier too

As a child of the 80โ€™s with a love of all things Ghostbusters and Nickelodeon I fully expected being slimed to be an every day part of life. Realityโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve been slimed by the kiddos a couple times, but most days I just get fuzzed. #lifewithcats

Did it solve the problem?
Is it easy to understand?
Is it easy to maintain?
How many cups of coffee were consumed?

Beyond that most metrics are meaningless. Iโ€™m in the camp that believes itโ€™s better to slow down and focus on the long term gains rather than trying to optimize for the now.

Last year at TrailblazerDx I injured my leg, and all the walking I did at the conference made it worse. Iโ€™m still not fully recovered. While working out tonight I realized one of my motivations was to be in better shape for #tdx25 in March. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever trained for a conference ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

This is misleading. The law only forces app stores and web hosts to stop distributing them. They could leave the service running if they wanted to. They donโ€™t want to.

A notice on TikTok that the service is no longer available in the United States that popped up during a post by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Coretez about the ban and how we got here. The text of the notice is as follows: 

Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now
A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.
We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

And thatโ€™s it, TikTok is down for me, right in the middle of an @aoc.bsky.social post on how we got here. Unbelievable timing. Thank you for trying congresswoman.

A notice from TikTok about the upcoming ban. The notice is as follows:

Important update from TikTok
We regret that a U.S. law banning TikTok will take effect on January 19 and force us to make our services temporarily unavailable.
We're working to restore our service in the U.S. as soon as possible, and we appreciate your support. Please stay tuned.

Bureaucracy at its finest. Wonderful terms you got there TSA Precheck renewal form. I wonder how many people actually remember to call TSA to let them know theyโ€™ve been convicted, found not competed, pled insanity, or involuntarily committed?

After an accidental typo resulted in โ€œsandbox refereshโ€ I have decided I must define the intrusive thought it inspired.

Sandbox reeferesh - an unapproved / destructive sandbox refresh where someone must have been high when they carried it out.

Itโ€™s far too early on this Monday morning to fight her for the chair. The appeal to logic failed. Apparently she doesnโ€™t care that I need the chair to make the money that buys the food, treats, toys, litter, etc.. Oy, cats am I right?

A wider field view of Westerlund 1. A dense cluster of bright stars, each with six large and two small diffraction spikes, due to the telescopeโ€™s optics. They have a variety of sizes depending on their brightness and distance from us in the cluster, and different colours reflecting different types of star. Patches of billowing red gas can be seen in and around the cluster, lit up by the stars. Small stars in the cluster blend into a background of distant stars and galaxies on black.

If Bluesky is an echo chamber, at least the words echoing are not the C-word (and I don't mean Christian) and the F-word (and I mean the gay slur.) Let the kindness ricochet!
