Interesting Person
I'm not okay. But I will be eventually. Lost my dad on the 28th of April and got a job offer the next day. The new role is a big deal so I was conflicted. Still am. He's not here to celebrate me or enjoy the fruits of his labor.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Really proud of my friend Brendan Farrington for making his fight with United Health Care to get his prescribed cancer treatments public.

It shouldn't take this much for them to do the right thing.

Who we vote for matters because it directly impacts our lives and the lives of those around us. A vote is a reflection of values and priorities.

That’s why I believe it’s fair to consider someone’s vote when forming opinions about them—it shows where they stand on issues that affect us all.

the incredible thing about this extremely viral post is that James Baldwin never said this, it was a tweet by a Twitter user called Son of Baldwin.

The disinfo war is not just against right wing political actors
“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

The worst part about having an antibiotic-resistant strain of something is that apparently it can SEEM to be getting better at first but really it's just the infection laying low, going to the gym, and getting swole to kick your ass in a few days.

There's been a bit of consternation flying around about the fact that the theatrical release of Juror #2, directed by Clint Eastwood, was very muted. But this movie is perfect to watch at home.
The jury's in: You won't miss anything watching this movie from the couch

More resources are starting to come into the atproto dev ecosystem.

“We don’t have to all fit inside the same, one-size-fits-all app,” Wang said. “The whole point of the protocol is to build many different kinds of apps, and let a lot of different kinds of user experiences flourish.”

I have high hopes for Bluesky maintaining a different ambience to Twitter/X. I saw it happen to Threads which I thought would become as toxic as everywhere else but somehow, they've managed to kinda keep it together.
