Full stack dev. I push buttons, things happen. If there isn’t music on, something is wrong. Books books crosswords books. (board|role playing|video) games. I’d rather be biking or hiking or lost in the woods. All of the above but with coffee. He/him.

“Today, the President illegally fired me from my position as a Federal Trade Commissioner, violating the plain language of a statute and clear Supreme Court precedent. Why? Because I have a voice, and he is afraid of what I’ll tell the American people."

This would be good news if there was any hope at all for accountability.
Many of the documents being destroyed are likely relevant to ongoing litigation around illegal terminations and cessation of grants.

They're directing staff to destroy evidence, which could put them on the hook for serious legal consequences.

An unauthorized disposition complaint has been filed.
“After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID,” Marco Rubio wrote on Monday. (trib.al/nBk143S)

Now, the staff has been directed to shred and burn classified documents—an illegal move under the Federal Records Act.

My son, who has cerebral palsy, has been successfully using programs enabled by the DoE essentially his entire life. This move will negatively impact his life in a dramatic way. This administration is full of monsters. Greedy fucking monsters.
The DOE largely support programs for children with disabilities. Eliminating half the staff will directly impact access to education for children with disabilities. This is barbarism.
We condemn the Trump Admin’s decision to lay off half of the Department of Education. This will harm students with disabilities. We want to hear from current and former employees, students, and families, let’s protect our education system. #DPoP #StudentswithDisabilities

It’s definitely me tho
- Runs a command, it doesn't work
- Googles for the error message
- Somebody asked the same question online
- Answer: "Did you read what the error message tells you to do???"
- Goes back and reads the error message
- Does what the error messages says to do
- It works

This might or might not be me

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

I have two initial reactions to this.

1. I would love to see a short-form video platform come up based on AT. I stopped using TikTok a couple years ago and I do miss it.

2. I feel like billionaires funding/owning/running social media platforms is the root problem with social media.

I take no responsibility for any code I wrote more than two weeks ago at any point. That me was a different person and have no recollection of those events.

I am at my desk with a cup of coffee at 10:15am. I have been at my desk since 8:45. It took four tries, getting up from my desk and going to the kitchen for coffee, before the coffee made it all the way to my desk. It's going to be a long day. TGIF.

The fact that The Simpsons couch gag is part of the “skip-intro” function on Disney+ is criminal.

I’m pretty much decided on moving my team off LastPass. What alternatives should I look at. We’re a team of ten and I need to be able to customize access via groups or similar.

My take on today’s NYT crossword: If the theme has with not-real words as answers, It’s a bad theme. Especially if those fake words are in the longest answers. Not fun to sort out gibberish in a crossword puzzle.

I always used to think the phrase “up and at ‘em” was actually “up and Adam” and I felt really lucky to have my own saying.

I know there’s good reasons for it but I sure hate that I can’t edit my posts. Guess I have to learn to proof read now.

And finally a new experiment this year. Ginger-orange-vanilla bark.

I also made peppermint bark but it doesn’t have any butter (at least not the dairy variety).
December 9, 2024 at 2:25 AM
More butter. I usually make wreaths out of wheaties in the stroller if river crispy treats. But I couldn’t find wheaties at the store so I just used rice crispies. The wreaths were super ugly so I just went casserole style and covered it in cinnamon candies.
