Followed a bunch of new people to freshen my feed and got some follow backs, so hello?

I post mostly tech, queer shit, books, food, random observations, and whatever I'm getting up to with @hon1nbo.hackingand.coffee.

Bully me and we'll both cry. I block liberally.

Ban Flock cameras. Ban Axon cameras. Ban Motorola cameras. Ban ALL automatic license plate readers.

That was our message to the Senate today. The American people agree that it's time for Congress to take immediate action.

I don't suppose there's anybody in San Antonio with a shark tap I can borrow for the week, is there? I can pay in dinner, fun stories, singing/bad dancing, or the promise of a custom stained glass art piece (within reason).

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them.

You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board.

Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

The IG algorithm currently thinks I am:

- an oblivious husband
- an overworked mom
- a promiscuous gay man (specifically a bottom)
- a woman with ADHD and chaos in my life (partially right)
- obsessed with the dinosaur game The Isle (which I have never played)

Happy to be an enigma!

1000s are marching in DC to defend voting rights; 90 orgs signed on, Reuters sent photographers, but local media

Bernie Sanders, AOC and Martin Luther King III attended

Wa Post buried it

A Black-led march is visible in DC only after somebody else reports it

Well it finally happened. Almost 4 years into consulting and I finally had my first client call where the client no-showed. Shocked it hasn't happened sooner! Whatever will I do with this extra 45 minutes?

Just your casual daily reminder that political maps can be misleading because population density matters when making law. 3 people who live in the middle of nowhere don't get to decide the rights of 300 people living in the same town.
"Is it land or people that vote?" rivals "who was president in 2020?" as the defining political Q of the day
Tom Emmer: "Minnesota doesn't necessarily lean Democrat. In fact, if you look at the 2024 presidential heat map, it is overwhelmingly red. There is a blue dot essentially in the Twin Cities."

It's truly baffling to see how many younger C-levels are completely and utterly out of touch with any form of reality that has ever existed. Parroting the bizarre excuses that their boomer predecessors made up to push the blame on anything but their own greed.
C-suite executives should lead the way and set the example of the work-done-for-compensation models they advocate, give up all stock options, and all securities, and work for $7.25/hour.

Maybe they can move closer to the office and get a bus pass. Stop splurging on Starbucks and avocado toast.
Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO
After landing her first job thanks to the Yellow Pages, Kinjil Mathur has climbed the ranks of Conde Nast, Saks Fifth Avenue and Squarespace to the C-suite.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.

Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

The silver lining to having to sit out defcon today bc of joint issues is that the pool is completely empty at 9:30 am. Time to soak so maybe I can be functional in time to do some socializing later.

Hey divas, even if the DEF CON photo policy doesn’t technically apply in the hotel bathrooms, please don’t film in there, it’s fucking gross.

We all deserve an expectation of privacy in the bathroom.

Don't mind me, just trying to figure out how to look like I don't wear sweatpants 90% of the time.

It's mildly concerning when murder birds start congregating on the roof of the neighboring house next while you've got your 10 lb dogs outside.

Put another way, the entire adult userbase is going to have to upload their IDs to sketchy third-party companies and link their identities to their online activity to stop a few dozen kids from accessing a platform that is mainly left-leaning news and commentary. What problem is this solving?
