I feel like today is a day to shut off the Internet and ignore the fact that we are no longer in the same United States as last year

I wonder how much less traffic social networks would have if we all followed our mother's advice of "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything"

A Message to and from Mister Senator Ted Cruz...Attorney at Law #PassthePactact

One of the coolest things about working at Google Cloud is not that we build world-impacting solutions, build stuff for engineers, "the food"...those are all great, but I can give a gThanks to anyone in the organization and they get a small bonus without question or approvals

One of my favorite things to do over Christmas break!

As always, nice job Kaslin Fields youtu.be/xScfavWAeJk ... Having thousands of clusters at the edge and not needing to worry about metrics ingestion, or aggregating/duplication across projects is awesome!

I kinda secretly wanted a blue badge on twitter (I understand why it goes to real important people, I'm not one of them)...by paying for it, it's like paying for friends or respect, just not something I'd ever do

Fearmongering works: OK violent crime rate: 458 per 100K NY violent crime rate: 364 per 100K OK murder rate: 7.25 NY murder rate: 4.11 % of Oklahomans who say crime is most urgent issue: 5 % of New Yorkers: 28

What's to stop outside governments (or even internal) from paying $7.99 and seem legit? #bluecheckmark will now feel shady to me, I'll trust those with it even less

Great book! I stumbled upon #mermaidjs a few years ago and have been using it for all sorts of diagrams. This book helps bootstrap you to using diagrams as code as well as how to be effective at diagrams... I've learned a few things and highly recommend this book!

A trans friend of mine said that after Twitter stopped banning trans harassment, it took only 12 hours before she started getting death threats. Do we have Free Speech if bullies are allowed to make people afraid to speak?

Really easy way to find the people you followed! movetodon.org

If you don't think the Christian Right wants to change the constitution and make our country a Christian theocracy, these are some of the signs. We were founded on NOT establishing a government religion. This was just mailed to me and it's already in the recycle bin

If you haven't already done this, please type "git config --global init.defaultBranch main" into your terminal so we can continue to be friends :)

Well, this is it. Purposefully removing security measures is not a good move. I still believe Musk is trying to kill Twitter so the people don't have a collective voice

Every time I sit in traffic I feel let down by Popular Mechanics for promising flying cars "in the next decade" (circa 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000...) I don't even think flying cars will be a great experience 10 after they are out, we'll just recreate flying highways with the same jams

I’m attending #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon in Amsterdam from April 19th - April 21st, and I invite you to stop by Booth P1 for our lightning talk Retail edge solutions with Google Cloud Platform and GitLab on April 21 at 10:30 CEST. bit.ly/3yvBn5j #DevSecOps

Getting in a day to visit this beautiful city (consume an unhealthy amount of frites) and touristing before my first #KubeCon #KubeConEU

Making good on my promise to consume too many fries... And waffles... and pancakes #KubeConEU #KubeCon2023

Over the course of a year, Twitter has gone from mostly positive and fact based conversations to lots of baseless accusations and intimidation/bully comments. All the tech people I loved to read tips/ideas from have left. I'm putting Twitter on hold and eval at some future time
