The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

I mean, c'mon, what good is being in power if you can't order your secret police to kidnap your nephew's mother so your brother can take custody?

Rode in the worst smelling cab I’ve ever ridden in in my life. Almost threw up it was so bad. Immediately had to chuck all my clothes in the washer and take a shower. So. Gross. 🤢

As conference season is upon us, here is my #1 hot-take:

**Sessions are good actually!**

Everybody makes a big deal about the hallway conversations being the important part, downplaying sessions, which I think 100% misses the mark.

Remembering that one time 8 years ago when I laid out to my airplane seat neighbor how AI was going to decimate white collar jobs, knowing at the time I probably sounded crazy. Wondering if that guy remembered what I said as we see it unfolding.

Yep. The grift keeps on trucking
The U.S. spending $20B to bail out Argentina seems completely random until you find out that hedge fund billionaires bet on their right wing government’s doomed economic plan and could lose a lot of money.

So this is actually a U.S. hedge fund bailout which explains why Trump cares.

Just crazy levels of self owns happening in the US.
A measles outbreak in South Carolina has sent over 150 unvaccinated children into a 21-day quarantine. The event highlights the consequences of local vaccination rates falling below the 95% threshold needed for community immunity.

Saw a post somewhere about how practice is only boring if you're thinking about something else. When you are focused on the actual activity practice is easy. I think this is why I am having trouble getting a regular exercise routine going.

The hardest muscle to train is your brain.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

Really nice summary by @angelp.bsky.social and @boofla.bsky.social about the work we've been doing to support #arm64 builds for #bioconda and #Nextflow over at @nf-co.re and @seqera.io

It feels like we're nearing the tipping point, what's not to love about greener more efficient computation? 🌱🍏

This also sets up an expectation that Democrats bear a responsibility in keeping the government open and lets the congressional GOP off the hook. So pathetic
