I like interesting problems. Once upon a time a professional triathlete. Software engineer @ Respawn Entertainment.

It's quite incredible how much Founders wrote down and how much of what they wrote down we still possess. Helps to cut back against ideas that, "ounders couldn't have foreseen X." No, not only could they have, they did. Again, the only thing they did not (seem) to foresee was a cowardly Congress.

All of those 10th Amendment Libertarians who were up in arms about federal mask mandates and the ACA are surely preparing to rebel any day now... I am certain of it!

Evergreen meme...

Thank you for making the exact list that I would have made. Additionally would include:
- Janet Mills (ME Gov)
- coalition of blue state AGs
- Tony Evers (WI Gov)
- Bob Ferguson (WA Gov)
- Jay Inslee (Ex-WA Gov)

Still annoyed DNC didn't pick @benwikler.bsky.social who is also on the list.

I have the same reaction to Java. 😜

go into the tm folder - TeleMessage - in the posted Android repo. github.com/micahflee/TM...

That's where you can see, for example, the hardcoded token password that Micah posted. Weirdly the iOS version appears to just be a straight up copy; but the Android version is not.

I remember when you first posted that. Thought you were correct then. Certain you are correct now.

Very American attitude right now - "we do not need X, Y, Z system." (OSHA, NIOSH, NSF, USAID, CFPB, and also free trade, alliances, etc) Very European/Canadian/etc attitude right now - "we need X, Y, Z system. We just need to not depend on America as part of it." It's quite a stunning dichotomy.

Just gonna leave this here @donmoyn.bsky.social. Seems ... relevant.

Irregardless of any of that...

Also misunderstanding of scalability concerns. E.g., *one* person/family might do fine as a hunter-gatherer in a given area. But in typical influencer fashion, exception does not prove the rule. Quite the opposite. Hunting/gathering may work in an area only as long as *no one else does it.*

Just once, I want the interviewer to realize they are part of performance art. Stop being such a normie. "Well, I can be nice if you want. But they said you wanted the hard questions. They said you were fighter... Totally up to you though. They said you could handle any question, so..." He will bite

I am waiting for some "reporter" - possible names rhymes with Bohen or Clack - to go full Ali G. with Trump. "Dey said you answered the hardest questions. I was gonna go easy, but they said, nah, he's sharp." "Biden answered this question last time." Kamala played him like this. He always bites.

seems this chart is going to be a fairly evergreen reply for the foreseeable future...

Revelations is very much not an abstract or theoretical concept to meaningfully large group of Americans. Even what I'd call "casual Christians" (celebrate typical holidays but no real familiarity with actual Biblical text) believe very much in here-and-now end-times existential crisis of same type.

Typically, Amazon has said this was never an actual thing they were planning to do. Only something Amazon Haul was considering in specific instances. So the WH just totally gave away that Bezos has bought zero loyalty from Trump (duh) over nothing. Will be funny if Amazon *now* actually does this.
