996 sounds like anything but therapy
Hard to believe that a few years ago there was genuine mainstream discourse about tech companies shifting to 4-day work weeks while today companies are bragging about “AI productivity gains” yet it’s all about 996.

If genAI ran flights, it would be a mystery flight, you don't know if you take off, where you'll land, or just run out of tokens and crash

the biggest problem, for me, with the editor of the NYT cranking the bad take machine up to 11 is that every time ross douthat writes something, my husband reminds me that william f buckley took a young ross douthat skinny dipping.

Let's do simple stupid math. ATL is a +100 MAP - Million Air Passengers airport. At 10%, that's 10 million passengers over a year. Holiday travel estimates are 4 million passengers. Sounds like a recipe for economic pain.

Important to note that New Mexico ranks 41st in state GDP, yet free childcare is a priority, unlike many wealthier states.

The airport is playing Flock of Seagulls in the terminal. I feel so old. It's the equivalent of hearing the Andrews Sisters sing Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy in the 1980s. Worlds that no longer exist.

Speaking as someone who has received public assistance, Americans love to offer aid then gatekeep because they love to punch down on people in need. Makes them feel superior or some stupid shit.
People should use their SNAP benefits for whatever they think they need. Both because any effort you make to micromanage purchases is inefficient and cumbersome and because people who need help aren’t obligated to perform for or satisfy others in order to eat.

As someone who has run campaigns, last minute endorsements do little to move the needle. It's a weasley move motivated by a hint of being primaried.

Confluence, which looks and behaves as a glorified wiki from the early 2000s, is still a thing. How is this possible when there are collaboration tools that don't require you to hit a save button to make a change?

I would be ashamed if my alma mater, @utaustin.bsky.social, signed the Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education which undermines academic independence and freedom and fiscally binds it to a political agenda.

Fire up the willing engine, responding with a roar!
Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime…

I realize as I type this I should have said something sooner. So I'll be in Reston November 3-5th 2025 talking, hanging out, and annoying people at FOSS4GNA 2025. If you're at the conference track me down. If you're in the area and you're interested in QGIS…
