Today is my 1-year anniversary becoming a CPython core developer 🥹🎉!

Not to get too sappy about it but working on CPython changed my life and I'm so immensely grateful to be on this team, working on something so important to me.

All this to say: Python rules, open source is forever.

Been thinking a lot about the protestant work ethic aspect of the patter about folk using gen AI that's been bothering me, picked up Bertrand Russell's In Praise of Idleness:

"The modern man thinks that everything ought to be done for the sake of some-thing else, and never for its own sake."

I learned tonight that I can fluster certain people by simply existing.

So that's pretty neat.

This is some real fascist crap, flying in the face of usual tradition that state institutions only be named after past deceased leaders. While Melania means well as “honorary chairman”, this just feels like the committee sucking hard on you-know-whose d***. tennesseelookout.com/2025/07/24/r...

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

ICE attempted to enter the home of a woman with her children in Huntington Beach. However, the entire community, police department, and city council intervened and forced them to leave.

Keep fighting back ✊🏽

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

The 2019 Watchmen series touches on a variety of topics, but most importantly about how masked forces, especially police forces are dangerous, awful and easily manipulated by politicians with ulterior motives.

The shrugging. The pulling the guy up by his collar after learning they fucked up. The masks and anonymity ensuring they’ll never be held accountable (not that it was likely, anyway).

We are turning into a “papers, please” country. And it’s the banality and nonchalance that’s most terrifying.
ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A.

After realizing he’s American, they just slink away.

Their only explanation: “Why were you running?”

Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.
