  One hell of a first page. Just picked up my next read The Forever War by Dexter Filkins — a New York Times war correspondent’s view covering America’s conflict with Islamic fundamentalism. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6021222 #books #Bookstodon #history #WarReporting

  Jo, warrior princess, keeping me company. Apparently, this corner is the only clutter-free spot on my desk. She even judges me in her sleep. #Caturday

  For anyone who’s been here in the fediverse for a while, aren’t you over spending time on other social media and then coming here to complain about it? Aren’t you over reporting here what shocking posts you’ve been seeing there? Make a plan to leave, and just leave. Stop bringing it here.

  RE: https://flipboard.social/@newsguyusa/116912840461037655 I hate jumping to conclusions about ongoing situations I know nothing about. I do know, though, ICE has acted recklessly and with impunity far too long for me to trust anything they or the DHS says. Following #Maine and #Biddeford. #ICE

  Today was our last day patrolling for ICE near our local elementary school. Packed away my day-glow yellow vest and whistle in a cubbyhole in the car. Appreciative of all the waves, thumbs ups, honks, fist bumps, and handshakes from the community members over the last few months. I loved when folks rolled down their windows and slowed down so I could see them smiling and waving. Stay vigilant, folks. This isn't over. But it's a milestone. #ICEOut #Minnesota #StPaul

  When the pandemic hit, people managers suddenly lost their ability to see butts in chairs at the office, which was mistaken as “productivity”. Now, they’re trying to replicate that same mistake by forcing employees to use AI so they can measure token usage. Mmmmyess… Quantity over quality is the hallmark of success. Also known as the spaghetti factor.

  I see a lot of videos customers (and co-workers) provide to show technical problems they're experiencing. But instead of using their words (narration), they think grossly wagging the cursor at different parts of the screen allows me to read their thoughts.

  Since getting chosen to present my workshop “How to edit your terrible tech writing” at MacAdmins Conference at Penn State, I've written six pages of notes and ideas. Just finished throwing them into sticky notes in Freeform on my computer to help me organize thoughts and topics. Writing the presentation and putting together the Keynote slides has usually been time consuming but easy. But I’ll still probably agonize over the introduction. #bujo #BulletJournal #MacAdmins #psumac #psuma...

  Apple announced it will celebrate its 50th anniversary over the next few weeks, “reflecting on the company’s history and values”. Interestingly, Tim Cook doesn’t mention values in the letter he posted. When I search the page for “values”, I find in small type at the bottom Apple’s values, which list “Inclusion and diversity” and “Racial equity and justice”. Might be a good time for Cook to reflect on who he’s associating with, supporting, and empowering. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/03...

  I think the fools today are going to be all the big networks that agreed to air Trump live again. They stopped doing that because his press conferences were barely more than rants and political ramblings.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@macadminsconf/116335863553799251 Editing is part of the Unix philosophy of leaving what you find just a little better. I’ll try to make it fuuuun! No writing required. (Well, maybe a little.) #MacAdmins #PSUMac

  Today’s speakers were so far removed from the back of the crowd at today’s protest, but we at least had video screens to see them. Some great speakers! Robert De Niro (recorded video) Governor Tom Walz Bruce Springsteen Bernie Sanders Jane Fonda Joan Baez #NoKings #Minnesota #StPaul
