Slack seemed to have rolled out something recently(?) that has 1. broken my thread view for adding emojis 2. Broken my unread view for groups.
Both not a blocker, but just wanted to flag 🙃

interesting to see how folks are optimizing referral traffic to their sites nowadays with respect to LLMs on a recent Lenny's podcast episode.
and on a personal side note: always kinda cool to hear companies you worked for mentioned in a nice way

Someone had their AI note taker join a meeting, but the person themselves was missing. I guess that's a good use of time? 😅

A tip from Julie Kratz's book, "We Want You: An Allyship Guide for People with Power"

"Power with" someone and share our power. E.g, “I’ll introduce you and let you schedule a meeting."

Don't "power over" them to maintain your power. E.g., "I’ll set up the meeting for you."

#Allyship #Inclusion
Graphic with the message I “power with” someone, not “power over” them. “Power with” shares our power (I’ll intro you & let you schedule a meeting). ”Power over” maintains power (I’ll set up the meeting for you). Credit is given to Julie Kratz and her book “We Want You” 2025. There’s an illustration of two people shaking hands. One has dark skin and one has light skin. Along the bottom is the @BetterAllies handle and credit to @ninalimpi for the drawing

I’m here for this
PBS has always been punk, From Mr. Rogers' unflinching kindness to Reading Rainbow's encouragement to think for yourself. The PBS is Punk Tee celebrates that legacy through the iconic PBS logo dressed up to fit your personality. It's a love letter to growing up curious, caring deeply, and questioning everything. For those who see PBS as a rare symbol of hope, prioritizing education, access, and community over profi, this shirt wears that belief loud and proud.

Gemini CLI out today...and it's a note for note UI/UX copy of Claude Code. Is that a "copy" or is this the communally-decided-upon terminal CLI user interface for agents?

NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️

Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home.

36 years ago tonight the Chinese government ordered troops to clear Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, which had been progressively taken over by protesters since April 1989.
Troops opened fire and used APCs to retake the Square.
There were thousands of casualties.

The thing that scared me the most about trying vibe coding is the rate at which the computer spat out lines of code that I did not at _all_ understand.

Very reminiscent of the scene from Lirael where the Disreputable Dog manifests.
Yet the marks flowed on. Lirael realized that not only did she not know which mark she was up to —she didn’t even know the marks that were passing through her head! Strange, unknown marks were pouring out of her into the sending. Powerful marks that rocked her body as they left, forcing everything else out of her mind with the urgency of their passage. Desperately, Lirael tried to open her eyes, to see what the marks were doing—but the glow was blinding now, and hot. She tried to stand up, to direct the flow of marks into the wall or ceiling. But her body seemed disconnected from her brain. She could feel everything, but her legs and arms wouldn’t move, just as if she were trying to wake herself from the end of a dream. Still the marks came, and then Lirael’s nostrils caught the terrible, unmistakable reek of Free Magic, and she knew something had gone terribly, horribly wrong. She tried to scream, but no sound came out, only Charter marks that leapt from her mouth towards the golden radiance. Charter marks continued to fly from her fingers, too, and 98 swam in her eyes, spilling down inside her tears, which turned to steam as they fell. More and more marks flew through Lirael, through her tears and her silent screaming. They swarmed through like an endless flight of bright butterflies forced through a garden gate. But even as the thousands and thousands of marks flung themselves into the brightness, the smell of Free Magic rose, and a crackling white light formed in the center of the golden glow, so bright it shone through Lirael’s shut eyelids, piercing her brimming eyes. Held motionless by the torrent of Charter Magic, Lirael could do nothing as the white light grew stronger, subduing the rich golden glow of the swirling marks. It was the end, she knew. Whatever she’d done now, it was much, much worse than freeing a Stilken; so much worse that she couldn’t really comprehend it. All she knew was that the marks that passed through her now were more ancient and more powerful than anything she had ever seen. Even if the Free Magic that grew in front of her spared her life, the Charter marks would burn her to a husk. Except, she realized, they didn’t hurt. Either she was in shock and already dying, or the marks weren’t harming her. Any one of them would have killed her if she’d tried to use them normally. But several hundred had already stormed through, and she was still breathing. Wasn’t she? Frightened by the thought that she might not be breathing, Lirael focused all her remaining energy on inhaling—just as the tremendous flow of marks suddenly stopped. She felt her connection to the Charter sever as the last mark jumped across to the boiling mass of gold and white light that had been her silver-wire dog. Her breath came with sudden force, and she overbalanced, falling backwards. At the last moment, she caught the edge of the bookshelf, almost pulling that on top of her. But the shelf didn’t quite go over, and she pulled herself back up to a sitting position, ready to use her newly filled lungs to scream.
