A perennial challenge for folks coming to government through programs like USDS or 18F was feeling like they were able to really understand and make a dent on hard problems in a 2- or 4-year term. So obviously the new DOGE thinks you can do it in 6 months. forge.ndstudio.gov

My neighbor is a transgender witch and now I need to remember to thank them for their outsized role in swinging the national mood so hard against Trump. I also need to compliment the gourds in their garden this year, they're impressive. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/10/ted-...

Should I update my profile picture? I think my current one more accurately portrays me, but this one is pretty cute, and on the internet, nobody can tell you're a dog anyway.

www.axios.com/2026/10/18/t... Axios doesn't say it, but a little math shows that this headline means over 58% of Republican voters identify as MAGA. The party is fully captured. Those 42% of registered Republicans who don't support MAGA should consider alternatives.

We are continuing our nationwide search for early-career meteorologists with a new round of hiring! We’ve streamlined our USAJobs announcements and have new options for applicants to select location preferences.

"There have no doubt been more dangerous times in the United States, but it’s hard to imagine there was any time more stupid." @marisakabas.bsky.social nails it. www.thehandbasket.co/p/democrats-...

If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

OH at work: "He was cybering so hard. He cybers the best."

What if Clippy was even stupider and had access to your whole computer? Introducing Copilot.

I check the news 2-3 times a day just in case it has happened yet, which is wasteful because I imagine my phone will blow up with texts within seconds of the news escaping containment. But still I check. Honestly I'd love to be the one who delivers the news to someone else. Sharing joy is wonderful!

Holy shit.

My credit card company says that some of my purchases are eligible for "pay over time," and is that not true of every credit card purchase? Is that not half the point of credit cards? (Instead of interest payments, they charge a monthly fee which comes out to about 7.5% of the purchase.)

I keep having dreams that I get to be a guest in some fashion on Top Chef and enjoy the contestants' food. Maybe it's a premonition, and that'd be sweet.

And billionaires.

abolish the death penalty

i think cox should spend less time weeping about polarization and more time working to convince his co-partisans not to abandon pluralism and liberal democracy

In an effort to continue demonstrating that I am not a designer (nor even particularly good at front end), I have redesigned my personal site and it's still... fine, at best. suddenlygreg.com

i want my fucking tax dollars back

I'm not a designer. I'm a developer. The USWDS documentation approach to explaining not just how to use components but when and why is a major asset to me. And it reminds me to consider things I might not have otherwise.

Seatgeek should be destroyed.

So on the one hand, this looks like someone having harmless fun. Just an Easter egg, right? On the other hand, the government shouldn't do this. It erodes trust. It is unexpected and inexplicable and confusing. This is not how you interact with the public.

bot say oop I did a illegal

After seeing this, I contacted 1Password support and got a variation of "support the art, not the artist," which is a tacit endorsement of the artist. That is not acceptable to me. Turns out, Bitwarden is a very fine replacement, and today I canceled my 1Password subscription after 19 years.

Several civic technologists, civil servants, and concerned citizens signed on to an open letter to GSA leadership and members of congress asking them to protect USWDS as a piece of critical digital infrastructure. I'm proud to be one of them. fedscoop.com/websites-jeo...

Hey look immigration increased wages by slightly more than it increased housing costs, meaning that on those merits alone, immigration is a positive. www.axios.com/2026/09/28/e...

Scream in the forest. The trees like the carbon dioxide.
