Been sitting on this a while, but with just a week and a half to go, it's finally starting to feel real:
On June 1, I'll be speaking on a panel at TwitchCon Europe! The topic? Juggling streaming and being a dad.
If you'll be in Rotterdam at the end of this month, let me know!

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

One thing plaguing American media is a sizable portion of editors at prestigious outlets think a bad piece with a bad argument that gets a lot of criticism is a good thing.
It’s getting attention!
It shows the publication isn’t biased!
Publishing bad work that’s poorly received makes them proud.

Trump casually spitballing about the plane crash, on social media and in the briefing room, explains a lot about his appeal to political media. Feeding the content machines 24/7.

Look, more H1Bs are a good thing for US tech leadership, AI, and competition.
But a lot of people on the tech right are memory-holing that Trump made the same positive noise about H1Bs in early 2016, only for Stephen Miller to lead an H1B crackdown.
Fool me twice...

The big Q about the Trump-ABC settlement: Why did ABC agree to pay and apologize? The network won't say. It could have kept fighting in court, but decided to pay $$ to end the dispute and make the case go away. (A common move, but with an unusual plaintiff, the president-elect.)
