In just the last 24 hours:

– The CEO of X resigned
– The Head of Infrastructure at xAI left for OpenAI
– The VP of Software Engineering at Tesla left for OpenAI

Musk's businesses are falling apart just as he faces increasingly dire political headwinds.

This is a great reminder that if something sounds like you grew up with it, it's okay that younger people hear it for the first time
some of my favorite tiktok videos are the ones where yoots discover the music of yore (aka music i grew up with) www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6JdXhWa/

Happy Juneteenth. 🖤

Because there’s few things worth celebrating in this world as much as freedom, and few things worth fighting as hard for.

Love and solidarity to all the Black folks in my life. I hope you have a wonderful day of connection and celebration.

The fight goes on ✊🏼

The more AI starts to generate videos the more we're going to have to trust our sources or find a good way to provide provenance

As of 2025, Seattle's population is approximately 764,753.

10% of Seattle showed up at /this/ protest and there were more than just this one.
“At the largest rally in Seattle, over 70,000 people flooded the streets shoulder-to-shoulder, marching en masse from Capitol Hill to Seattle Center — making it one of the largest protests in the city’s history. “

SEATTLE SHOWS UP FOR DEMOCRACY!

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.
I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I’d like to report that Seattle is calm as fuck right now. So when you see mayhem on the streets soon, you’ll know that Trump’s goon squad has arrived in force.

I don't wish I'll on Microsoft or previous Co workers, but I DO take joy when policies that happened while I was there backfire and cause a lot of issues for legitimate customers

Dear Lazyweb,

Is there a good book or other reading material for cis parents of trans children?

Not someone who needs to be convinced, per se, but someone who wants to know how to support their teen through… [gestures generally]

Badge dropped off. After 12 years at Microsoft I always thought I'd go out on my own terms. Thanks to everyone in DevDiv for being amazing and growing with me 🖤

if you know someone who was impacted, call them. Support them, lend them your network, your references, your referrals, and your time. This is a day with a lot of tears.

Hey #lazyweb, how do AirPods 4 with Active pose Cancelling compare to Bose QC35s or Surface Headphones for plane flights?

I know battery life won’t last the whole flight, but might be worth the sacrifice so that everyone can have ANC of some form at least.
