I wrote a little article on Power BI User Defined Functions and a little use case you might find useful.

@governorferguson.bsky.social Can we do this?
I am once again calling on state governors to mobilize their National Guards to escort congressmembers into ICE facilities so they can DO THEIR LAWFULLY ASSIGNED FEDERAL DUTIES
Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

I've seen Andor Season 2. All of it.
They fucking did it.
Remarkable from top to bottom. Challenging, thoughtful, ecstatic, delirious, tragic, hilarious–and never less than incredible. There'll never be another show like this and it makes me so furiously sad, but what a blessing it is to have it.

I was at an Eagle Scout ceremony this week. It was great to see a young man celebrated for his accomplishments and adherence to a high standard of character and hear the Scout law points celebrated. I was saddened realizing the Trump admin is hostile to the values we are trying to instill in Scouts.

Does anybody in the Administration really think, after Americans being apoplectic over even minor COVID restrictions like mask mandates, are going to tolerate financial pain while the economy "transitions"? Especially if the transition is a failure?

There is no reason to watch this speech. Why sit in a room and be lied to? Everybody in the House chamber is lesser for being there. The Democrats should have walked out with Rep. Green.

The leadership vacuum from Demcrats sucks. The administration is full of unpatriotic, un-American cowards and bullies. The Democrats need to call them out as such and remind us about America's ideals and what we aspire to be. Stand with one voice and unite the country around what makes the USA great
📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender.
📌They should STILL be talking now.

And that is how you talk to bullies. Ms. Vindman is NOT bringing it weak.
A reckless lie that puts my family in danger. If they think this is true, do an investigation, but they know it’s not so they just spread it on social media to intimidate. Fuck them. Bring it and don’t bring it weak, bitches.
Just asking questions.

I have loved this movie nearly my whole life, even as a little kid. This essay just made me love it more.
"There is not a Mary-sized man in town, and Mary Hatch does not do anything just because it’s what might be expected of her. Her story in this counterfactual is a sad one, but it is not one of passive submission to circumstance." www.thebulwark.com/p/there-is-n...
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.
