The number of politicians and media outlets who will pontificate on the dangers of the far right, whilst simultaneously posting about it on X drives me kind of batty.

The DoD is transitioning to a new identity. This is a process, and to support them during this time they would prefer if you addressed them by their preferred identity, which whilst not yet their legally recognized identity, makes them more comfortable.

It’s not obvious to current users of Clonra, as I haven’t yet rolled them out, but over the last month or two I’ve built a handful of AI powered features for the tool that is starting to make it a second brain for me.

Kind of mind boggling that after 21 years and four different owners, Flickr still seems to be the default place for pro / semipro photographers to share images. Seems like someone should have grabbed that market share by now.

As I mentioned last week, changelogs are a great way to demonstrate momentum, just like logs in Clonra.
Even though I did the work for all these features, I was still surprised as I looked through git logs and Linear history at just how much I shipped.

I know the actual answer is that they don’t care and didn’t feel a need to explain it, but how exactly does the whitehouse tell the Irish Ambassador “sorry we can’t have you on actual Patrick’s Day”, and then they have that clown in for an Oval Office chat.
