I spend my days wrangling Python code. When I’m not debugging or quoting “The Ministry of Silly Walks,” you can find me enjoying music festivals or just walking around my home town, eating a "Bossche Bol" or two.

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Greenland has announced it will annex the United States, citing humanitarian concerns, chronic leadership instability, and an urgent need to protect valuable land from reckless mismanagement. Officials assured Americans they'll soon enjoy free healthcare, quieter politics, and less gold plating.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

This week, the #python Software Foundation rejected a $1.5MM NSF grant, due to a requirement that the PSF abandon diversity work.
So I joined forces with Python folks (@offby1, @petrillic, @amethyst) and we're matching up to $12,000 of donations to the PSF. 🧵

Ik heb op X iemand zien posten dat Wilders het konijn van de buren heeft aangerand. Heb er verder geen bewijs ofzo voor, maar ook geen bewijs van het tegendeel! Het lijkt me goed dat de media hem hier kritisch over ondervragen. Onderste steen boven!

Lieve media, Wilders kan Playbook Trump alleen uitrollen als jullie, als wij journalisten, verslag doen van giftig nepnieuws als waren het feiten. Als er geen enkel bewijs is voor fraude, zijn dit soort berichten nagels aan de doodskist van de democratie

Voor de vierde keer dit jaar schendt Rusland het luchtruim van Estland. Poetin tart de NAVO met provocaties om onze eensgezindheid te testen en omdat hij denkt dat Trump alles door de vingers ziet. Zonder ferme politieke reactie stopt de escalatie niet. Hardere sancties treffen is nu geboden.

🆕 I've been using a new tool called prek as a drop-in replacement for pre-commit.
It uses uv and is rewritten in Rust (because of course) and as you'd expect is much faster.
Try it!
