Funny how I saw a loooooooooooot of people in my feed post (or retweet) that "ICE agents" had gone to a school in Chicago, a 'the outrage!' headline, but so far I have not seen a single one of those same people post that it turns out that it wasn't ICE at all.

Why? Because you don't read actual journalism on social media, and if you don't make the effort to do so, then you're doing more harm than good when you amplify slop.

@garrett with light enough (tonally) pigeons, perhaps we could dispense with the paper? #hasthisbeentried

I'm annoyed that this mysteriously failed to post, three times (meaning that the android client popped up an error message to explicitly say that, in those words, without further detail), and then for whatever reason it started posting itself automatically more than once, just to make me look weird. This is why open source is a technological dead-end with no hope to offer humanity, btw, and we will all end up having to go back to AIM

@emmadavidson There were puns? I didn't use any consciously I promise!

Maybe it just happens.... #worrying

Audience member: "Hi, I have a three-part question..."

No, you don't. You have a rambling stream of consciousness and they handed you a microphone.

Great job, everybody!

Really; just top notch work from all angles & all players involved.

If any of you weirdos out there are subscribers to NPR's subscription service, NPR+, does it give you custom feed URLs that you can listen to through your podcast app of choice? Or is it bound to the NPR app?

@djrrb maxiscules, naturally.

It also doesn't know what Central America is. Which is myopia pretty much on par for people who think this sort of nonsense is important.

@joncruz Not enough teeth!

You know, I _want_ to like this, but the AI-generated images they use in all their mock-ups take me off the page completely. Makes me think the entire proposal was half-baked.

Check out the "coworking spaces" section for the worst of it, but it's all slop: https://wherewilltheyallsit.org/?shpath=%2Fthe-capitol-campus-of-tomorrow%2F#section-solution4-kWNaIiNqpx

Pro tip: boost the content of this but do it without the artificial "the news won't tell you this" BS, which is demonstrably untrue. It's not simply inaccurate, it's lizard-brain targeting telling you that you can't trust journalism. Which is no less-horseshit when folks on the left do it than when on the right wing.

Want proof? Three seconds of news feed searching attached, hot off the screenshot. There's more if you scroll.

I live on the edge, by which I mean that I'm replacing a laptop battery 12 hours before the laptop and I head to the airport.

Royal Mail could save a fortune in hosting costs and massively reduce its carbon footprint by replacing its package-tracking web service with a static HTML site that reads "Sorry there was a problem, please try again". No change in functionality at all.

If you have to ask, you're streets behind.

Morning coffee thoughts: font file formats are like 75% technical debt plus 75% corner cases.

Why yes, I am indeed waiting for a big build to complete. Silence will resume shortly.
