I think a shocking number of our major societal problems would vanish overnight if you could magically pull the plug on the X platform and Meta, both of which are carefully designed to turn people into the worst version of themselves.

Robert Altman took 2 hours and 40 minutes to show the absurdity of our city, of our nation, and of that moment through the lens of “Nashville”. 51 years later, this article gets us there in about three minutes.

I’m still thinking about @samaaron.bsky.social’s talk at #goatmire - nothing has captured my curiosity and wonder for coding like this! #elixirlang

Really insightful talk by Quinn Wilton introducing argus - a tool to help you detect entire classes of complex process interaction bugs built from and validated in real OSS code! 😍😱 #goatmire github.com/QuinnWilton/...

It was a courageous talk and a bit of a call to arms I think, bringing together systems thinking, control theory, process improvement and engineering, all rooted in human dignity and agency. Highly recommended!

Wow! Jerri Green took 71.1% of the vote. www.elections.tn.gov/categories/g... She campaigned hard across the state. Amazing job! Tennessee, now is the time to pitch in. Jerri Green has to beat Marsha Blackburn. Make it happen!

Heading to early vote now! indivisibletn.org/candidates

WATCH: “I’m proud of you. I love you.” Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social embraces his brother @keshaunpearson.bsky.social as Troopers arrest him for refusing to leave the balcony in a show of nonviolent resistance after Speaker Sexton cleared it

Spotted three good friends at the Nashville Rock n Roll marathon today. They all looked amazing at mile 22 especially after the brutal hills of Shelby Park. So proud of these fellows.

Beautiful day for a great festival. www.nashvillecherryblossomfestival.org

My #fsharp #FsAdvent post for 2025 is up. It's about applying my functional DDD design principles to an unusual non-business domain, which is my hobby of hand weaving! Anyone else weave? I'd love any comments. fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/design... Thanks as always to @sergeytihon.com

One of the best things I’ve seen on YouTube all year.

Republicans can stop this anytime they want… youtube.com/shorts/0mcdj...

This is what happens to software companies who go all-in on coding with LLMs. Coding isn’t the one “good use case” for LLMs but a dozen Y2K crises in the making. And I’m saying this as a software developer who knows more about how LLMs work than most in the field.

Happy Anniversary, Erlang!! cc @theerlef.bsky.social See archive.is/TVnf9

AFTYN: “What a time to be alive! A battleground district in Tennessee… everyone loves an underdog story.” It’s Election Day in TN-7, and Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social says Tennesseans can send a message that they’re fed up with Trump and a Republican Party that has failed to deliver.

Zork I, II, and III are now open source. Microsoft has released the classic Infocom text adventures under the MIT license! opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/11...

Early voted! Aftyn Behn is the best US House candidate I’ve ever had as a choice on my ballot. At my polling place they said the turnout has been 4-5 times higher than during the primary. Wow! With this energy TN District 7 is going to flip blue despite the dirty gerrymander of Nashville.

Happy Friday!! Just a reminder that our second Nerves Meetup EU will be next week Wednesday (Nov. 12) at 7pm CET! Joining us is @alvises.bsky.social to talk about running computer vision models on Nerves. Sign up via Luma below :) nervesmeetup.eu/meetup/alvis...

And if you are interested in bioinformatics or learning to program here is an excellent playground to celebrate Rosalind Franklin’s work and her discoveries: rosalind.info/about/

👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?” TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

Good fun! I would have enjoyed being there. This quote slide from @baldurbjarnason.com made me laugh out loud in a quiet room.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Felt good to pitch in today! If you would like to help flip Tennessee's US House District 7 from red to blue (and punish the state GOP for their gerrymandering) start here: www.aftynforcongress.com

BEHN: “Feed kids. Fix roads. And fund hospitals. Instead of handing out corporate tax breaks.” TN-07 Democratic nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social puts her people-first priorities front and center in a high-energy victory speech

Congratulations!!! On Dec 2, you are going to flip that seat blue. A deep thank you for getting out there and doing the work. How can we all help? Tell us what you need. 🎉 🙌 🎉🥳 🎉

The President of the United States is lying and/or delusional, and it seems like we should be talking about this and nothing else.

My neighborhood today.

Nashvillians, if you're in U.S. House District 7, your single best next move to hold the line against Fascism is to vote for Aftyn Behn in the primary election on Tue, Oct 7. Sample ballot: www.nashville.gov/sites/defaul... Check if you're in District 7 here: maps.nashville.gov/pollingplace...)

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

We just early voted for @aftynbehn.bsky.social in the primary. If you’re in Tennessee’s 7th congressional district *please* get out there and vote. This seat is going to flip blue next fall, and now is your chance to pick the candidate you believe will fight like hell once in DC.

If you live in TN's Congressional District 7 and are pissed about your taxes funding the shiny new Titan's stadium (aka the biggest public dollar giveaway to the NFL ever), you need to read this. Then go vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social, the candidate who wants to get dark money out of politics. 🦞

Go fash, lose cash

If you were moved (or shaken) by Jon Stewart’s interview with @mariaressa.bsky.social on the Daily Show please read her powerful book “How to Stand Up to a Dictator”. If you prefer audio books, I suggest you switch to Libro.fm and avoid Bezos/Amazon/Audible. libro.fm/audiobooks/9...
