They want to cede their power to an executive so they can remove their own responsibility.

They are responsible all the same. We will make sure they know it.

Stood up triumphantly, and immediately spilled my coffee everywhere.

So, thankful there's no game-day footage I guess.

The joy of demoing something live in production that's risky and having it work because you did it right πŸŽ‰

That's my sports.

I absolutely love the dollhouse for you as a sign of appreciation in this specific context. I hope every time you look at it you see the appreciation of a whole community you worked to keep housed. I hope it becomes an heirloom piece and this part of your story travels with it.

Yeah it's on my list.

I would direct you to the aforementioned site, which I created, and which lists alternatives. :)

You Should Probably Leave Substack You should probably leave Substack. Here’s why and how.

I can now tell when Substack has done a new shitty thing because the number of folks linking to LeaveSubstack.com goes up πŸ™ƒ

I got my bike tuned up today and took my first bike ride in *years*. Felt good to be in a different headspace and doing something healthy!

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

It had an incredible ROI, and it saddens me that we have to add it to the pile of things that weak and stupid men have ruined.

So many shows that defined my time growing up ended with "this program has been made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting, and by viewers like you!

Forever grateful for the CPB and its ability to touch so many lives including mine.

ai is a rhetorical technology.

when it produces a list of permissible targets, its value is not producing targets but producing permission

Remember: Donald Trump created this crisis. He walked away from the Iran nuclear deal that was working, promising a "better deal." He didn't deliver. He escalated, abandoned real diplomacy, and has now led us into a conflict that puts us all at risk.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

Boggles my mind. How can they not read this room?! Providing electricity for the shredder this admin is taking to our democracy.

How are they just so always incapable of meeting these moments?

The Bilbo Baggins meme from the Hobbit or lord of the rings (I forget which, I'm sleepy) where he struggles with the ring. But instead, reads "why shouldn't I? Why shouldn't I listen to music until sunrise?"

Uh-oh overdid it and now all I want to do is stay up all night listening to good music.

Was stressing tonight.

The cure: great music and just letting myself feel things.

Highly recommend.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

I felt so much joy today as 6yo was surrounded by friends at his birthday party. It's such a great age for kids to be their best kid selves and seeing that love for him warmed my heart a ton. Wonderful weekend with family too. Feeling great inside.

Yeah, unfortunately the US has earned every bit of that. Our embarrassment and rage echoes yours. Such an absolute low period for our country.

Be careful or we're going to wake up to some product called Cathetr that advertises you products based on what you drink

All good, no worries! πŸ’œ I appreciate you clarifying. I'm torn about this stuff because there really are so many concerns regardless of productivity. But also I've been blown away by what I've been able to get it to produce so I know it's possible.
