Big fan of David Byrne. Wondering if @dieworkwear would give us a breakdown of his fit here. Confession, I’m a fan.

If you left your almost-full journal and a copy of Aurelius’ “Meditations” on the Q train, DM me so I can send them back to you. I know I’d be heartbroken if I lost my diary.

Beware of an ex-Senator who calls for a third party Presidential candidate next year as a so-called "threat to the status quo" when, in fact, that tactic might be the dream scenario of Donald Trump's strategists as Trump's possible best route to victory in 2024.

Rep. @TriciaCotham's party switch makes clear that she lacks a moral compass, any serious convictions, and a commitment to the truth. She lied to her constituents & is stealing their right to representation in Raleigh. HD 112 deserves better. She should #ResignNow. #CothamResign

Do you want to make a change? Drive less. The biggest impact most of us can make on our carbon footprint is to leave the car in the driveway. Walk. Ride your bike. You don’t have to drive. It’s a choice.

As a blue-collar kid who worked his way through college, I know firsthand the sacrifices people make to receive an education.
Biden’s reckless, unilateral student loan giveaway is unfair to the 87 percent of Americans without student loan debt and those who played by the rules.

Electric vehicles were not created to save the planet. They were created to save the automobile industry.

Is it just me? The Twitter Blue verified check mark mainly just seems to indicate that the account belongs to a bootlicker

Sorry I didn’t respond to your email. I read it at a stoplight taking my kids to school and remembered it 4 months later.

Twitter is closing its doors to hobby bots like this one. They tell us a week before this happens.
There's been a lot of measured, well-mannered commentary from other makers of Twitter bots. I thought I'd share my uncensored thoughts instead.
Fuck this.

I want to dig in on why Red Hat is better at generating revenue from open source than anyone who has ever done it. This is a perfect example. Do you know how rare it is to generate $1B/ARR? Hashicorp is *half* that number. Let that sink in.
