Liking this idea a lot:

bsky.app/profile/ltro...

but don't know too many artists, alas. But for what it's worth, Jackson project (and I) would be super happy to get a mascot not unlike Avatar I use. :)

as someone with a passion for weird, hand drawn mascots (think gentoo's cow or apache zookeper, hive, tomcat, etc) I'd say the little cowboy is a good candidate :D

Interesting. But is it too simplistic? cdn.openai.com/pdf/d04913be... (many/most hallucinations due to IDK answer being penalized by evaluations)

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

It's how everyone should preface every comment:

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so we're going to go get pizza."

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 2d

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 2d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

I think something we have to do more of is talk about how kickass a lot of American cities are because right now some people think they’re run by Sharia Law nudists and most of us never thought to counter that argument because it’s stupid and doesn’t make any sense

This. Immigrants are awesome, and I wish we weren’t so afraid to say it.

Aaron Ross Powell ☸️ @aaronrosspowell.com · 3d

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.

David Bier @davidjbier.bsky.social · 6d

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

It’s essential that you find common ground with Trump supporters. For instance, you know that you have many flaws, and they believe you are less than human. Work with that.

And things improved enough that Jackson 3.0.0 (GA) release is almost a wrap: as usual, Scala module to follow with some delay.

Doubt it was anything to do with my local set up -- looks like Sonatype Central Portal's validator was at fault; failing to resolve (fetch) parent poms, proceeding to fail with bogus errors (just "skipped" parent pom info looks like).

Things look better again, might be spotty tonight. We'll see.

Cowtown Coder @cowtowncoder.bsky.social · 6d

Beginning to suspect there is actually something wrong with Sonatype's Central publishing, validator failing to find parent poms but proceeding without necessary info... But www.sonatype.com/status shows all green :-/

After 30 years of professional development, I seem to have fallen for Ye Good Olde "Just Release It On Friday Afternoon" trap. 🤡😱

Coupled with "surely latest plug-in has less issues than next to latest" trope.

Jackson 3.0.0 GA release like such an easy task. Bah, humbug!

Cowtown Coder @cowtowncoder.bsky.social · 6d

yeah, one of those things. Hope to get past it. Should know better than update Central Publishing plug-in version to latest :-/
(just guessing that's it, who knows)

Ok. Trust Maven Publishing to turn Excitement Into Dread -- Having Major problems with pushing 3.0.0 release. After perfectly fine 10 RCs, and 2.20.0 few days back. 🤮

Cowtown Coder @cowtowncoder.bsky.social · 6d

... if only I can get release to succeed: Sonatype Central not co-operating today... :-/

Cowtown Coder @cowtowncoder.bsky.social · 6d

Grrrh. Something to do with my local VPN: turned off VPN before starting to publish; but turning it back on reset/cleared something... maybe Maven cache has some IP references stored locally. Very weird.

Things look better now fwtw. Back to release.
