Think I’d rather vote for David Jolly than this piss poor example of a Dem.

One Christmas I thought I was pulling a prank on my dad & borrowed his friend’s empty C-64 box to wrap my dad’s gift in. Watching him unwrap it, all surprised and when he opened the box the prank was on me. He’d gotten ME a C-64.
Merry Christmas from everyone at Commodore! Thank you for the incredible welcome, the stories, and the passion you’ve shared with us.

It truly feels like coming home. This journey is only just beginning; and there’s so much more magic ahead.

Thinking about that Christmas that @jonhendren.com was retweeting all of the spoiled rich kids complaining about their iPhone. Truly special day on old Twitter

24 years ago I snuck this song onto a Christmas music CD I burned for a few friends. When Dan’s post popped up in my reader it brought back a few memories. Was surprised to find the jewel case. Here’s to long roads & better years.

Internet friends, if you get an emergency alert from your county or state government (and are NOT in an active emergency) could you kindly send me screen shots and links your government shared?

I’d like to analyze these from a usability perspective and produce a short report. Drop ‘em here! ⬇️ #cawx

I hope at least by rescheduling weed at the federal level that dispensaries can take plastic $ like a liquor store.

If it is a prank, can you nail the long play any better?

If something is unfounded, you don’t know if it’s true or false.

expecting a little empathy from a SaaS when I make the fatal mistake of leaking an API key is too much to ask I guess

listening to a discussion with a local politician and they're asked about a book that's heavily influenced them. They cite Lee Kuan Yew who I wasn't familiar with.

jfc what a person to be your biggest influence. Yeah, he was an authoritarian but he had some good ideas on government.

The DOJ's position is that this is wiretapping, 404 reporters can be indicted for it, & forced to prove they had the consent of the people who appear on the videos. Their appeal of Judge Mizelle's ruling that they are wrong is due at the 11th Circuit today.

Help me fight to keep journalism legal.

Political consultants can use multiple slurp juices on a single candidate

So if you have 1 astronaut and 3 rust belt conservatives, you can create 3 new moderates
