The bird feeders have been empty for a while. I finally got around to getting them so washed, dried, and refilled. I was wondering how long it would take for the birds to realize - what if they didn't come back! Maybe the neighbors have better food!
Well, pfft, I wasn't even back in the house before the first sparrows showed up 😂
In no time, they were joined by three Blue Jays, half a dozen or so Mourning Doves, a Hairy Woodpecker, and - a first at my feeder! - a Red-bellied Woodpecker.

I have no idea where my wife found this book, but it's a fun little read while spinning the dial hunting down some pirate radio signals. The book is from 1970.

You can check out this book online, courtesy of Digital Library of Amateur Radio & Communications;

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

Okay everyone. Open enrollment (for those of you living in civilized countries with universal health insurance this is the one time of the year, the month of November, when health insurance can be purchased or sold) is a few days away and a person we know who works for the Berkeley Unified School District and has a union-negotiated contract just found out their health care insurance for their family of three will rise 30% to 1450 per month.

This week, the #Python Software Foundation rejected a $1.5MM NSF grant, due to a requirement that the PSF abandon diversity work.

So I joined forces with Python folks (@offby1, @petrillic, @amethyst) and we're matching up to $12,000 of donations to the PSF. 🧵

No, his voters fucking well did, he'd been president before and they saw who he was and what a mess he's made of it before, and he's doing what he said he'd do from day one. They knew and they voted him in anyway. No one who voted for him this time around should be off the hook for their vote, ever. This is what they voted for, and this is what we're all getting now.

One interesting thing about this video is how well Mark Sonnenblik, the co-writer of "Golden," understands this is all EJAE's story and he's along for the ride on it. It's not that what he's done isn't important - he IS the co-writer, it wouldn't be the song it is without him - but that this is EJAE's moment as a singer and songwriter and it's okay for him to take a small step back and let her be the focus. It's generous and kind, and, also, savvy.

@box464 😆 I once sat near a young woman on a flight with a big sized smartphone with full brightness on… it was impossible to miss what she was doing. The amount of actions it took to add specific stickers, animations and text (with certain fonts) to an Instagram Story convinced me then and there that the argument « the Fediverse is too difficult for normies » is just a lazy, tired old trope.

If there’s a will, there’s a way.

There's a very good chance this piece will make people angry at me.

Excited to see Place Capability Graphs published at OOPSLA'25 (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3763122). Better models of ownership both help us understand its conceptual essence and build better tools atop it. Similarly cool to see that Flowistry (https://github.com/willcrichton/flowistry) was used in the evaluation as a prospective downstream consumer of PCGs.
