Long overdue #introduction: My day job is product management of data infrastructure, platforms and products. I am here to discuss more about my work in data but also non-work: news, entertainment, nfl, collegefootball, cricket, formula1). Expect regular shitposts, dad jokes and meme retweets.

man caleb is so fast when decides hes really gonna scramble

We're aware of a phishing attack that has compromised more than 4,500 accounts. The attack spread through posts promoting a fake offer of a government payment. We have temporarily suspended the compromised accounts and are working with their owners to secure them and restore access.

Nothing like waking up super early for a 6.15am flight only to see a text at 5am that the flight is cancelled. Since when did Southwest become so bad at operations? They cancelled because of crew unavailability.

I know what I’m missing and I’m ok with it

I'm sure this one won't make anyone angry.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Health insurance premiums are hammering workers and their employers. It all comes back to the high, inscrutable prices that hospitals, pharma companies, and other entities charge — and that health insurers willingly pay. www.statnews.com/2026/10/05/h...

i laughed

talked to my teenage son about the cornell case the other day and told him he'll never be cool for stepping in and stopping guys from doing awful things, but that it's his responsibility to do so. he seemed to understand. i hope he did.

for the new york times magazine, I wrote about why everything is "gambling" now (the short answer: actually everything is the statistical style now, and gambling is just how most of us understand that)

Wtf is Danny Jones doing????

Oh no, RIP.

Listening to the Watson Glaze on AmazonPrime pushing this even further in my mind.

Straight up: As a woman in football, this sucks to listen to. This week in particular.

An interview with NPR's new chief content officer, Nadine Zylstra, on expanding into video podcasts, such as Machine Gods from Casey Newton and Kevin Roose (Sarah Scire/Nieman Lab) Main Link | Mediagazer Permalink

in case you didn't know, deck.blue is currently my main source of income while i'm also getting into photography work here in são paulo, so i really appreciate everyone that's currently subscribed to the patreon; making all this possible if you can't subscribe but want to help, there's a ko-fi too!

X2, the beleaguered roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain near Los Angeles that has been at the center of numerous lawsuits, including at least two wrongful death cases, is permanently closing, the theme park’s operator said.

Per @anildash.com "being able to say, 'wherever you get your podcasts' is a radical statement." AT Protocol and ActivityPub allows you to say 'wherever you get your posts'.

I haven’t live the AI native life but even then, I tend to agree with this situation Dare sees himself in.

In the 20 years since California's carbon emission peak in 2004, we've both slashed those emissions by 28% and nearly doubled our economy. The Golden State’s economy is growing BECAUSE of our climate action, not despite it. #ClimateWeekNYC

The crapware on iOS keeps going up. This year: Numbers Keynote Pages GarageBand iMovie and Sports app (I consider them crapware because I did a device transfer and had uninstalled them on previous device. Why install afresh?)

There are only so many games #USC can win by out-talenting their opponents. They need to clean up so much before the upcoming crazy schedule. Sigh.

My plan to move public opinion on matters important to me is to spend a portion of my day reposting every article and zinger I see go by that agrees with me to an audience of people who follow me because they find this behavior tolerable. I’m pretty sure this will work eventually.

The latest @Surf.social beta let's you add super powerful include and exclude filters for your feeds and sources. Want to see just climate change posts from the Congress Bluesky list? World news beyond Trump? Tech news other than AI? Hashtags without spammers? You're in charge.

Is KC back or are the Broncos a fraud? #DENvsKC

Mosley holy moly. #usc

Bowman!!!! OMG.

Texas really looking bad on offense today. Play calls, drops, bad QB decisions, etc. Their D is keeping them from a blow out.

Someone needs to tell Arch he is allowed to throw the ball away when receivers are not open.

Of course they will

Oh no, I like Miro :(

Husky Stadium remains one of the most beautiful settings in college football. We'll be reporting from this afternoon's Apple Cup with the full report on /r/CFB.

Hey Netflix, create an in-season Drive To Survive, you cowards. Call it a preview of the next season, if you must.

Ooooh Boise state 👀

a) it’s weird to see Fresno State vs USC and Boise State vs Oregon as Pac-12 games where USC and Oregon are B1G. b) Boise came to play! Oregon looking tentative early.

Tesla has told first responders that they might need to “push” the new Cybercab out of the way in an emergency

What a drive by #USC to start the game. Fresno State came prepared to kill the run (and did a great job at it!) ... Maiava and those young receivers, wow!

Codex + Sol is much better at instruction following and seem to be actually intelligent. Claude Code + Opus has gotten dumber in recent releases where it jumps to the wrong conclusions, makes silly mistakes when you ask it to perform tasks and is also quite argumentative.

How the Rams were last year WITHOUT Garrett and Donald...

I have no dog in the race in the Browns' QB battle. I'm not a fan of either, and I think Cleveland will draft a rookie QB in 2027. But that Deshaun Watson post-game presser could (should?) be the nail in the coffin for him. No need to play the guy crying victim who won't be under contract next year.

Someone's just thrown a bottle of Omega 3 tablets at me. I only received super fish oil injuries, but still.

The FDA and the CDC are investigating an outbreak of E. coli and salmonella tied to alfalfa sprouts. Investigators linked the cases to Everything Sprouts, and the company issued a voluntary recall of some products.
