There’s more creative financial engineering in this Inter Miami team than there was at Enron. MLS bent so many rules to make it possible for Beckham to bring Messi and half of Barça to Miami and buy this Cup. It’s a media spectacle, no doubt, but it’s so delegitimatizing for the league.
@andrew-wiebe.bsky.social Hope that Houston pen shows up on Instant Replay this week. Biggest question for me: If it’s “clear and obvious”, why does it take Alexis da Silva three full minutes at the VAR monitor to make that decision? IMO, VAR should be full-speed only with a time or replay limit.
I was really hoping for a rain match, but unfortunately I’ve brought the Austin heat with me. Sorry Portland friends!
I'm not on Blind today, haven't been since my GitHub days, but I only remember the "TC or GTFO" toxicity. I never saw the convivial, supportive community Adam Rogers reminisces about in this article: www.businessinsider.com/blind-anonym...
Claude Code is hands down the prettiest, most usable CLI application I've ever seen. Bravo to whoever at Anthropic decided to care this much and put this much energy into building an elegant CLI user experience.
Ooh, this sounds great! I’ll check it out.
BTW, I’ve repeated your compost heap metaphor several times to folks asking about my writing process. What a gift!
Yikes. No thanks.
Welp.
Not what the ruling says y’all. Gov’t must give them notice and time to file for relief before removing them. The “where they are detained” bit is referring to the federal court district they’re detained in. It ain’t great, but it’s a whole lot better than I expected.
Well the good news is that if Trump is just crashing the market by 20% like he says in that video clip he’s denying, it’s looking like we’ll probably get that done today so we can move on.
Third time seeing it live, know most of the words, even read the 800 page biography it’s based on. Still cried just as hard at the end. Hamilton is one of the best pieces of storycraft I’ve ever encountered.
A Cortado with art in the form of a slightly wonky heart.
A Gaggia Classic Evo Pro espresso machine in thunder black with a tamper and tamping mat in the foreground.
Welp, I managed to hold off on this rabbit hole for more than a decade. Long way to go on the art, but three weeks in and I’m making single-origin light roast Cortados I would be happy to get in a cafe.
I've been playing with roocode.com for the past few days. I've only done greenfield stuff so far, but I'm finding it wildly capable. It's got me rethinking decades of build-vs-buy math around internal tooling.
If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
🎯💸
I’m pretty sure that shuttering 18F, likely necessitating each client agency individually tenders that work out to McKinsey or Booz or whoever at 5x the cost, is the opposite of saving money.
RIP Royal Tenenbaum.
Normally, knowing a lot about the aviation world gives me context that makes the news feel safer. Not this time. This is terrifying:

Yeah, and what are y’all doing about it besides yelling on social media? Quit giving Trump’s nominees unanimous consent votes! Make things a procedural nightmare! Slow everything down so the courts have time to work! Losing research money sucks, but losing the Constitution is worse.
PSA: In case you're phone-anxious, know that your call to your Senator will most likely go to voicemail. If you're concerned about what's going on, you should call them.
Giving @kagi.com a try and loving it so far. I had forgotten what a calm and delightful experience it is to search for something and have the first result be exactly what you were looking for.
The Ozlo are noticeably smaller in the ear, but if the Anker aren’t uncomfortable for you, they probably aren’t worth the premium. I tried the Anker first, and they would’ve been great if I wasn’t a side sleeper.
They’re tiny and incredibly soft. I’m a side sleeper, and everything else I’ve tried either falls out or causes pressure hotspots that inevitably wake me up.
@gruber.foo Ozlo (ozlosleep.com) seems like one of these million-dollar-scale tech stories. Sleepbuds weren't a Bose-scale success but attracted a very devoted following, so 3 folks left Bose, licensed the IP, and added the most requested feature (Bluetooth streaming). They're fantastic.
Apple’s busy giving us generated emoji and text tone change AI tools, when all I really want is for Siri to make even somewhat reasonable grammar and punctuation choices when I dictate a text message.
*slow clap* 😂
My next talk will be on the lessons we can learn from the structural failure of this 10 year old IKEA Tobias chair that my son usually sits in but that I sat in tonight.
Happy MLS schedule release day to all who celebrate
TIL that Trader Joe’s sells British-style clotted cream fudge. I was probably better off not knowing that. 😐
