The right-wing backlash against #Superman has happened before.

If you liked #TheWheelOfTime consider signing the petition (savewot.com) and sharing this: youtu.be/6Gtu5g-VNjQ?...

I've never been an blogger but it never stopped me from trying - especially in my younger days. The Internet was still new, social sites hadn't emerged.. well I came across some of my archived blog posts. They are for-sure #cringe but also a partial time capsule. www.iduprey.com/blog/2025/20...

For my geeks out there using Astro to host their web site. I've upgraded from #Astro 4 to 5. Has anyone else? If you aren't using Astro, what then? I strongly considered 11ty. That looked super-simple and more than I needed.

At #work, one of the prevailing stories of 2024 was Thomson Reuters’ journey to train our own large language models (LLMs). I primarily helped the team evaluate third-party solutions to accelerate these efforts. #AWS #HyperPod
