Next time Trump needs a mysterious MRI, they should put him in a Gravitron and tell him it's a medbed prototype.

Happy #Caturday from Beau.

@DamonHD Thing is: "split your code into proper modules, and enforce proper interfaces between them" is actually good engineering and architecture.

But people decided to mix together three separate things: modularity, location of code in a version control system, and deployment of code on servers. There are times when it makes sense to separate all those things, but you can get the benefit of any of them without the others.

At first I thought that these mountain goats, that I encountered on a high ridge south of Montezuma, Colorado, were walking purposefully towards me because they had decided to run me off, but it turned out that I was just in the way. #colorado #wildlife

I just was on a panel for DarkSky International's Under One Sky conference. The panel was about novel and emerging sources of light pollution, I was there to yell a lot about Reflect Orbital.

One of the other panelists was Jolyon Troscianko, who studies animal vision at night (how totally cool!) and he was talking about headlights as a source of very bright, pulsed light pollution. Moths lose their night vision for at least an hour after a headlight sweeps past, possibly all night.

Ever wonder why you see the #fedi22 hashtag in bios?

Yeah, that's my fault.

I built a People Directory in 2022 for the #fediverse that used that hashtag for verification.

I'll improve it and make it way better, perhaps with Starter Pack support 😉

Doing very serious important testing.

The Fediverse feels more vibrant when conversations are buzzing! Mastodon 4.5 fetches replies from other servers to show you more complete conversation threads - another much-anticipated feature.

Thank you to all of the contributors to Mastodon 4.5! As always, we also appreciate your donations and support as we continue to build a better social web for everyone.

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this "May you have the confidence of a mediocre white man" Sticker. I feel like I should be offended by this, but as a mediocre white man I am far too confident to let it bother me.

It's #Caturday and Dieter and Quatro are safely ensconced in a blanket nest on the bed. Don't bother asking. There's no more room. They won't let you in. The bed belongs to them now.

Jesus HOPPING christ.

If you're a constituent, flood Schumer's inbox. Flood all their inboxes. Better yet, call them. Holy fuck.

Why Does Schumer Keep Trying to Cave?

How the Senate Democratic leader and his Gang of Eight keep trying to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Here’s what occurred. It has been widely assumed that the group of eight mostly centrist Senate Democrats, who have been looking to broker a hollow deal on Republican terms, were free-lancing. In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily.

Same here. I’ve never even seen a group of friends.

📍photos of santuario nacional de nuestra señora de los desamparados (church of santa ana), originally constructed in 1720-1725, built on a burial site of the pre-colonial tagalog kingdom called namayan. the camarin de la virgen (queen's dressing room) behind the retablo, declared a national treasure in 2008, was closed so I still haven't seen it. I was born in the hospital that stands on what used to be this church's cemetery.
