Got a reminder of why I avoid Target…took my son to get a case for his Switch and figured I’d take a glance at what is going on with Magic these days. Was told I can’t unless I go through guest services to schedule it. To top it off, they even had the case locked down and needing help to get. FAIL.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

If #PresidentMusk want to shutdown the government, I dare him to really do it - no excepted folks forced to work without pay). I wonder how long it will last with no air traffic controllers, no military, etc.
You’d think someone about efficiency would know a shutdown always costs more in the end.
