medical transport personnel are awesome here in Columbus. Very thankful for them

Even the theme song brings a sense of calm and soothing.

STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET. MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS YOU ONLY WEAR WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS. DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING." DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP. TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR, LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME, "WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON." NOT METAPHOR. NOT HYPERBOLE. A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK. PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK. PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED. UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL. UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS. STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM. STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM." STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH. YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE LIKE A LULLABY, WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE. YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO "HEAL THE LAND" IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND. THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH. THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING. THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM. THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT. AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT. IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD. GROWTH ALWAYS IS.

Amazing statement from the chaplain of the MN Timberwolves, I’m guessing in response to the craven press release co-signed by so many local CEOs today (inc the Timberwolves!) calling for the “deescalation of tensions” here but refusing to assign any specific blame or even *mention* ICE / CBP

ICE just executed another person in the street in Minneapolis. They already had him subdued and beaten.

No need to seek out the video. It’s bad.

Watching closely to see if any of our leaders here do anything but express dismay. And that does not include siccing “our” police on protesters!

Never skip on cancer or other health screenings while you have insurance (if you’re in the US).

Publishers are “stepping back” from LGBTQ+ books amid bans & the current GOP president - LGBTQ Nation "In the face of so many book bans and so much concern about decreasing school library sales of queer content" publishers are "passing" on LGBTQ+ books.

So it seems the companies could save a shit ton of money by replacing CEOs with AI

Executives see how well AI automates their bullshit job and extrapolate that out to mean it will also automate the jobs that create value.

10/10 marketing, I hope it’s packed!

Flyer for the Newark Book Fest: May 17, 2025, in the Canal Market District from 10 am - 3 pm

Please come see us authors this weekend. Without your approval and validation, we'll literally die, and then there'll be no more books, and that's how the MAGAts win

Microsoft is at it again… 😞

Insomnia is a new and exciting addition to this slow motion crash of a year.

If i had money I'd preorder this, so you should get one and let me borrow it

This is so cool! Thank you for sharing it.

I gotta get a cheap camera for protests since I don’t bring any electronics.

Great to see so many folks from different unions out supporting @sagaftra.org today! They’re fighting for fair pay and AI protections for work in video games. #unionstrong #sagaftrastrong

My ADHD is the same way!

Holy crap this article

The best engineering metrics are those that, if gamed, achieve a great result.

"If you measure number of PRs merged, people will just make loads of tiny PRs to inflate numbers!"

Yes. Small PRs are easier to review, easier to bisect/revert and easier to deploy with confidence 🎉

sometimes, even when sad things happen, it’s amazing to remember all the great things that did happen to.

Definitely cozy but unhinged!
