And it’s fixed! There is a place called Minn-Tech that repairs broken HomePods and as far as I can tell it is perfect again!
Sad day. I think my first-gen HomePod died! 😭

I saw a comment online awhile back describing the current economy as "movie theater pricing but for everything."
I find myself remembering that comment after taking my daughter to a movie today. My first time in a theater since before covid I think. $32 for 1 adult and 1 kid ticket!!

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Guillotine T-shirt. I know inflation has been rough lately. But it's important to understand that inflation doesn't affect everything. For example, while grocery costs have skyrocketed the price of guillotines has remained relatively stable.

Today is off to a great start! I had a nice morning with my daughter before I took her to school, then I sat down to start at work and found my PR had a review from the legendary @josevalim.bsky.social! It's such a privilege to work somewhere with a Dashbit dev subscription. ❤️

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.
