Another movie that was deeper and better than I was expecting. Saw #TheRunningMan with my #RegalUnlimited subscription. A good action movie plus.

Mum: Do you want to own things and decide who you sleep with?

Sick to my stomach that the President being mixed up with a horrifying global network of pedophiles is considered a 'voter issue' and not something the whole world needs to know about and people need to be prosecuted for.

Only reason anyone would want people to ignore Epstein is if you're involved
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

Achievement Unlocked: Completed a commute to work on my #EUC. Will I complete a commute from work on it? #ElectricUnicycle

Today's #EUC ride was once again half way to the light rail before the arches of my feet were screaming at me to take a break. Getting in shape takes time. Fun things are worth it. #ElectricUnicycle

Saw #PredatorBadlands tonight. A much better film than I was expecting. Great story. Characters I cared about. And predator battles.

Today's #EUC training was a test to see if I could make it all the way to the light rail with my work backpack (and day clothes). I got half way before my leg/foot pain/shakiness made me stop. Thought about going further but this was a win. So, I took it and rode home. #ElectricUnicycle

Want to unlock the real potential of #GenAI? It starts with well-built data fundamentals. 💡

My @allthingsopen.bsky.social keynote shows how you can combine AI tools like #GeminiCLI & OSS data tools like #Iceberg to build those fundamentals.

Today's training for #EUC training I decided I need to start getting on the road so that I can start commuting with it soon. Down my hill and a third of the way to the light rail and back. Success and no problems on the hills. #ElectricUnicycle

Some former OSPO head tips: the pitch to your budget manager isn’t, “We use Python and they gave this grant back.”
It’s “$Moneymakingproduct relies on these packages. Tech Lead 1 estimates the SWE hr rewrite cost is $700k plus ongoing maintenance of .2 FTE. We can complete a $100k donation by EOW.”

Why has the word "learnings" replaced the word "lessons" in business contexts? It doesn't seem more specific. Is it something to do with internationalization? Any linguists have an idea?
