"Rats and roaches live by competition under the law of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy." - Wendell Berry

A huge facet of American exceptionalism.

Pretty sure my kid thinks I watch tractor videos after they go to bed. He's only 75% wrong.

Sent a support email, 2 minute response time from Hologram Electronics team. Nice.

Darn Ableton authentication servers seem to be down... *shakes fist*.

Having some major '00s nostalgia today. Always thought of it as a "nothing" decade, but listening back to some playlists, was a huge explosion in musical variety. We live in the echoes of the aughts.

Ah nice, Western States 100 is this next weekend...some very tired runners going to be coming up the canyon into Placer High. youtube.com/watch?v=AYKbe8…

Bummer that Brex is dropping small business support...yet another startup decides the way to profitability is shifting to serve larger customers. Such is life.

Our government doesn’t reflect what most Americans want - it reflects the priorities of the people who command influence on the extremes of either or both parties due to closed party primaries and the two-party system. It’s only by changing this system that we can move forward.

Poetry has a hard time sticking with me, but reading through the "California Fire & Water" anthology, this one by Jane Hirshfield landed: poets.org/poem/let-them-…. Thanks Molly Fisk for putting together this collection, essential fire season reading.

Good morning.

Would work visas for wildland firefighters work? Politically probably a non-starter, but maybe practically possible considering cross-over experience immigrants might have/relatively short training period?

Hey Vincent Woo, what's the relationship between YIMBY Action and California YIMBY (and other YIMBY local orgs)? I see some YIMBY locals in the YIMBY Action network, but definitely not everyone.

My son's grandma told him that I'm her son. He thinks for a minute, then asks "Does that mean he's your cofounder?"

Great seeing Fatima ✨ present a 🦊 GitLab/Vercel workflow for an Astro website here at Bay Area Drupal Camp (BADCamp), thanks Fatima!

Loved Gregg Marshall's honest take on implementing a CI/CD pipeline in his Bay Area Drupal Camp (BADCamp) #DevOps presentation, thanks for presenting!

Bricking your device after 3 years: pretty disappointing "legacy" device support from @getawair. Submitted a support request regarding any plans for open sourcing their legacy app/api just to receive a canned response pasted from their docs.

Big thanks to BrowserStack for having a great service and great support to go along with it. SaaS companies that treat long-term customers (even small ones) right are where I always go back for business!
