The ASL interpreter is the unsung hero of this video. It's been a few decades since I've signed (my childhood best friend's mom was deaf), but she is Luthering for Brandon Johnson here. It's incredible.
Mayor Johnson: There are those in this country that have decided, at the behest of this president, to declare war on Chicago and American cities across this country. They have clearly decided that they want a rematch of the Civil War. We will not submit to the authoritarianism that is coming down.

They're being commissioned as Lieutenant Colonels. An LTC is usually a battalion commander, brigade XO, or a staff officer under a General. That's a lot of military authority/influence for people with zero military training.
I'd say this is unprecedented, except there is precedent and it was bad.

The more people talk about ATProto (Bluesky) vs ActivityPub (Mastodon, Pixelfed, et al), the more I think identity in a social graph is such a narrow slice of the problem.

Noah was easily one of the kindest people I've ever met. It's always hard to hear news like this, but especially about someone like him.
I'm glad I got to spend time with him along the way.

Someone will inevitably feel the urge to follow the internet tradition of offering unsolicited advice that they think will be helpful for my use case, so I'll just head that off by assuring those folks: I know.

When I was in the army, we had a joke "being Airborne means never passing on an opportunity to let everyone around you know you're better than they are".
I notice that same smug sense of superiority a lot in the Rust community.
