I run a small software dev shop called Thunk.dev with some of my closest friends.

I live in Philly, grew up in Japan, and was raised by hiphop and the internet.

It’s crazy that they were so institutionally committed to not feeding detainees that they didn’t even have infrastructure to do it. It’s not accidental or incompetent, it’s just the plan.

So I broadly agree with all the “No Kings” protesters critiques of the current administration.

Protest is a tool to put the powerful on notice as you what your demands are, and what the consequences will be if they are not met.

Not a fan of protests with permits and police escorts politely begging

Hey dont’t mind me, I’m just deconstructing Iraq war propaganda I remember from my childhood.

That whole thing about “Sadaam Hussein made like 20 guys get plastic surgery to look just like him” was fake right? Like that’s an insane thing that they just said on TV a lot in 2003?

My theory is that "working class white people solve a murder with the help of big-city cop/journalist" shows only exist so British actors can learn interesting American accents.

Every time I watch one of these shows its Mid-Atlantic-Mushmouth/Cajun/New-England (the weird accents) starring 4 Brits

I’m thrilled to announce that I will be speaking at Wire⚡Live next month! As someone who has used Livewire since its initial release, I'm excited to share the tips and tricks I use to write production-ready Livewire apps.

Come to Buffalo to help make the first Wire⚡Live great!

The Philadelphia Eagles just have “IT” this year. Unreal. That was awesome to watch.

I’m sorry the eagles just blocked two field goals in a row to win the game, and the Jets just blocked one to pull ahead. What is going on

An interesting sentence from the person yelling outside my house:

“I just got off the fuck work and you’re sitting here doing nothing.”

Can't wait to be in Buffalo! I just gave @calebporzio.bsky.social my talk title.

Recession indicator. One of the better 2/5 players in the Philly poker scene is getting a job at the mall selling Rolexes.

Nobody seems more bitter than a guy chirping about Android features from 2019 in the comments of an Apple announcement.

A valuable lesson about the perceived value of correctness when yucking yums.

And like the first leaf falling from the tree, with the stroke of a docusign, sales season became silly season.
