I’m about to cancel YouTube TV. The only thing I’ll lose is live sports in a Winter Olympics season. I can still use the standalone local news station apps since ABC is no longer on YTTV. National news is crap. PBS/NPR will have to fill that gap. Even “military grade” antennas don’t work in my area.

Read @nytimes.com article about the Institute of Museum and Library Services being shuttered. This could mean there won't be enough money to get books like @sarahkendzior.bsky.social 's. The littlest things like database systems and collections management are going to matter. #booksky 📚💙

One thing I notice about world competitions recently in figure skating and gymnastics is the genuine camaraderie. Still highly competitive events but a beautiful change in behavior. ⛸️🤸🏿♀️

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:
