This is perfect. Remember how someone recently drove into the park on NE Holman, only to be stopped by one of those cute LEGO bollards? bikeportland.org/2025/09/17/d...
Someone repainted the heroic little guys and the one that got his has a worried face.

People are always saying on social media that gen-AI is here to stay and that it’s retrograde and standing in the way of progress if we reject it. But there are plenty of things that were once the embodiment of progress that we collectively decided to reject, from cocaine in soft drinks to eugenics

This is my crypto quant.
In 2076 I hope someone resurrects that tricentennial patch.
![A collection of futuristic patches and flags made for Alien (1979). The patches include:
Farside Lunar Mining Lifting: A circular patch with a blue background, a white moon, and the text "Farside Lunar Mining Lifting."
Red Star Lines: A circular patch with a pink background, a red star, and the text "Red Star Lines."
UK7 Patch: A triangular patch with a blue background, a red star, and the text "UK7 PATCH [UNITED KINGDOM, 7 UNION 2088-2102]."
United States Tricentennial Patch: A circular patch with a red, white, and blue design and the text "UNITED STATES TRICENTENNIAL PATCH 1976-2076."
Flag of the U.A. (United Americas): A flag with a blue background, a white star, and red and white stripes.
The image also includes a grid background and handwritten notes about the patches.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:so362smrcoypah6gusrtkqvz/bafkreiczxtqgvlsifzujiozorqxccuidslszmw5jpj3uih5m4ub2u7wuou@jpeg)

What’s happening with Elm-lang? That had to be the first question I asked #Elm's creator, Evan Czaplicki, and you can't answer without asking, what’s happening with Open Source funding? Can OSS successfully exist when companies want everything they can get for free, forever? 😰

Split brain occurs when distributed systems loose contact and nodes operate independently. There is no longer a canonical source, data becomes inconsistent.

it shows you posts from people you follow who don't post that much! so it surfaces friends' posts that might otherwise get drowned out in the Following feed (which is reverse chronological) 🤗

Of course a ballet dancer would easily lose his balance. Especially if he spoke out against the Ukraine war.
