I'm gonna tell you about a guy named Peter. He called for support often and it wasn't stupid stuff. But it was complex.
He drove a BMW. He was divorced. He was of course a sales person. Probably the most successful sales person in California and maybe the country.
He serviced the government.

You meet the users where they are to stop them doing the stupidest shit imaginable.
You have no idea how much this paid off. The number of infected media players people downloaded in the age before Windows Media Player had more than three codecs is unimaginable
Who knows if I saved the firm

I understand the historical intentions of expanding the autism spectrum label, but "neurodivergent" is not a synonym for autism. I am not autistic, but I am... divergent.
I don't know, sometimes it seems like it's consumed the entire conversation. This isn't resentment at all but just... yeah.

Charlie Kirk goaded his followers into persecuting and threatening people he didn’t agree with. Nothing about that is virtuous. Some people are making it clear they never listened to a word the guy actually said.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

so the reason the Times jumped on the chip story so fast is...they had been trying for weeks to nail down a bigger story about systematic bribery of Chinese-language news outlets
Yesterday a lot of folks were gobsmacked that Winnie Greco had insisted on handing @katiehonan.bsky.social a red envelope of cash in a potato chip bag at an Adams campaign event. Here's a new story from some of my colleagues that seems to connect some dots.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
