@tolin.ski Am I remembering correctly that you once mentioned on the pod that you have something that allows you to seamlessly switch your Apple Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse between multiple MacBooks? If I am, what do you use for that?

Be prepared for Asshat to do everything he can to prevent elections from happening in 2026. Start organizing against it now.

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

@tolin.ski you just gotta keep those scrambled eggs moving in the stainless steel pan until they start to firm up to avoid that burn layer.

@derekberes.bsky.social @matthewremski.bsky.social @julianwalker.bsky.social Speaking of a lack of new ideas from the Democratic party, are you familiar with @corbintrent.bsky.social's Substack? One of the few voices from the left with concrete ideas. Highly recommended.

@ladybug.dev So happy for the return of the podcast and this season’s focus on Engineering Management. I made the move from Lead UX Engineer (influenced very highly by the writing of @emmabostian.bsky.social) to UXE Mngr about 2.5 years ago, but still feel like I have so much to learn. Can’t wait!

"...and concern about the facts. I see them really as being part of what Robert J. Lifton refers to as the "thought-terminating cliche" that enables cult indoctrination."

"So to me, I don't see a really big difference between the hammer and the sickle, the stars and stripes, the swastika, or indeed the crucifix, in the sense that these are all devices for instigating and intoxicating and transcendent loyalty that too easily ignores moral clarity and courage..."

Brief: Is It Fascism? — Conspirituality Derek and Julian discuss Robert Paxton's 2004 book, The Anatomy of Fascism, in light of 2025 America.

@julianwalker.bsky.social My dad also grew up in apartheid SA and instilled in me the same values you speak to in your denunciation of nationalism and patriotism in the latest episode. It was so nice to hear those same thoughts that I've struggled to articulate over the years spoken to so clearly.
