with Mamdani being about the same age as me and also having a multicultural identity with some Gujarati roots, it is surreal seeing someone "like me" succeed in American politics right now

Ah, off-cycle election night. Time to start obsessively following the returns for a faraway candidate I just learned about an hour ago.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

DC is being hit hard by the current administration between the ongoing shutdown, cuts to the federal workforce, and threats to SNAP. Donating to a local food bank is one of the most direct ways to help. No amount is too small!

The Capital Area Food serves the entire Washington, DC, metropolitan region, providing meals to thousands of people a day while also addressing the root causes of hunger.

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.
that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.
but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

it is an unwritten law of pickup basketball after age 30 that at least one person will comment "I haven't played in months, probably since the last time we all played together!"

I just set up a calendly for anyone who wants to chat -- sports analytics, creative coding, data viz, music in tech, whatever!
I've enjoyed connecting with people over the years and am always down to talk ideas, projects, or weird intersections between them :)

a good reminder to prefer open and interoperable tools over a vendor whose principles can change (or be revealed) overnight
Salesforce owns Tableau. Time to drop all mentions from classes and trainings #dataViz
Salesforce told ICE that its A.I. software could help the agency nearly triple its staff, according to internal documents, as President Trump expands immigration raids and deportations around the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

history is full of people saying “you just don’t get it” about bad ideas
always be skeptical whenever something is framed as “you’re either all in or you're too ignorant to understand it”

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.
Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.
