I wonder if Google spent less resources on AI and stopped laying off solid developers if their older products and services would have fewer bugs today. 🤔 #Google #JustSayin

If lawmakers genuinely care about young people's wellbeing, they should invest in education, support parents with better tools, and address the actual root causes of harm online. What they shouldn't do is wage war on privacy itself. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I have another MRI on Tuesday for my "goblin". (That's what I call my pituitary tumor.) I'm hoping it hasn't grown again, but with my newer symptoms, I'm a bit worried. If you think of it, post some cool pixel art or game dev screenshots to cheer me up! I'd like that. #GameDev #PixelArf 👾

I love it when several articles in my RSS feed seem to converge around a theme or topic.

This time, it's three excellent articles on headings from @donnie.damato.design, @tempertemper.bsky.social, and @alvaromontoro.com.

I'm fed up with our 2 polar political parties. I follow ideas. My political compass is guided by human rights. I believe in policies that uplift ALL people, regardless of which politician or party proposes them. Remember that you serve ALL Americans. Both parties need to do better. #ProgressiveIdeas

We cannot afford a divided and weak opposition party when an authoritarian is invading our cities, terrorizing our communities, and corruptly self-enriching at the expense of the rest of us. We want to celebrate a Democratic Party that fights back. But after this latest surrender, the next step is primaries and new leadership. We get the party we demand, and we intend to demand one that fights.
