Not sure if its just the algorithm but definitely seeing unexpected positive vibe about Seattle on Tweety - love the metro area of course but kinda nice to see outsiders praise it too

Welp there’s no unseeing this

L - GOP Rep and MI senate candidate Mike Rogers actual photo from the campaign trail. R - Photo put out by staffer.

Just saw ”the Backrooms” and liked it a lot. Pleasant surprise - surrealist horror with hint of scifi (Dali with doze of acid?)

Brillant, and what I've been saying since vibecoding emerged: "From the bottom: no juniors entering the pipeline, so no new seniors. From the top: existing seniors slowly losing the depth that made them senior. The pipeline is collapsing from both ends simultaneously." (via @spinscale.bsky.social)

Claude denied code generation for the first time today (to create sec vuln test case). But was able to successfully argue my case; my being a "security researcher" helping fix vulns, and got the test case written. Lols. Waiting for the "Invention of Lying" moment in near future.

Yikes. Github definitely MUCH flakier these days... :-(

Planning for Jackson 3.2.0 -> github.com/FasterXML/ja... (changes so far: github.com/FasterXML/ja...)

15 years ago today, Kate and William killed Osama Bin Laden at their wedding.

Jackson 3.1.3 LTS patch version released with 9 fixes: github.com/FasterXML/ja... #java #json #csv #xml etc

"Well, Katie, I think if you knew this individual as long and as well as President Trump has, you would understand just how serious the accusation of treason really is. Papa Smurf is no angel, believe me."

As Trump's dementia worsens and he becomes more erratic with his little tantrums, we're going to be treated to the sight of congressional Republicans debasing themselves more and more on television, trying to pretend that his latest grudge is very serious and very important.

Jackson 2.21.3 LTS patch release now out (github.com/FasterXML/ja...) -- with 10 fixes #java #json #csv #xml &c Next up: 3.1.3 LTS patch releases, then getting ready for 3.2.0.

Considering using Claude to rewrite Corporate CLA (CCLA) used for Jackson. What could possibly go wr0n9!

Jackson 2.18.7 LTS patch release now out (github.com/FasterXML/ja...) -- with 4 minor fixes #java #json &c Next up: 2.21.3 and 3.1.3 LTS patch releases.

Honestly, I'm surprised Hegseth still calls it the "Department of the Navy" and not the "Department of Aquamen" or something else a fifth grader would think sounded cool
