True -- and come to think of it, I never saw Fashism and fascism in the room at the same time...

I only know Bryan from social media but he’s so nice. If you’re an #OaklandBallers fan or just a fan of Oakland, this is a good read.

There's an @oaklandballers.bsky.social parade tomorrow to celebrate their magical season, and it affords an opportunity to reflect on why this team is so meaningful to Oakland

With a tip to the B's cap to @bertoinpublic.bsky.social, who helped me with a clip of him being interviewed from 2023 that I had found very meaningful but couldn't find -- thank you!

Poseidon: Did someone say ocean?

steve o’grady @sogrady.org · 9d

adding insult to injury, carriers apparently don’t feel it’s necessary to include the ocean in their coverage maps so i can’t tell what my coverage is going to be like on the cruise tonight

The gods have apparently grown bored punishing @sogrady.org with weather systems, and have now sent him something much more creative: a Red Sox playoff series against the Yankees DURING #monktoberfest. Kudos, gods!

This is kind of cool: today, Oxide and Friends is going to pass 1,000,000 downloads. I’m not sure what @bcantrill.bsky.social had in mind when we did our first Twitter Space in 2021, but I’m surprised and delighted to have reached so many folks.

On Monday, Dave Pacheco joined @bcantrill.bsky.social and me to reflect on his experience leading a large, complex (very complex) project to build automated update into the Oxide Rack. Hard-won wisdom on leadership and the avoidance of debilitating "organizational procrastination".

I don't think you have spent much time looking at LLM-generated stuff? The high-polish/over-refinement is often a dead-giveaway of an LLM, where you seem to be inferring it as the opposite. (Even pacing is something that's unusual in human writing -- but very common in LLM-writen stuff!)
