I think I have one of the most unique Spotify homepages. The 9/11 commission report, Taylor Swift, and Ella Red…

Continuing the series on the level of chaos I bring to to @civicactions.com, here is an email I just sent to @kandji.bsky.social asking for a copy of their dancing jellyfish.
Screenshot of an email composed by Bentley Hensel to a support team. The email begins with “Hi!” followed by a question about a past “Iru” feature. The sender explains that when Iru was introduced, they found a looping GIF of a spinning jellyfish on the site and did not save it. They ask if the recipient knows where to find that jellyfish GIF again or any Iru-related pages that include the “dancing jellyfish” available for download. The message includes a light, conversational tone, acknowledging it as a “weird question.” The email ends with “Thanks,” followed by the sender’s signature: Bentley Hensel, Senior Data & DevOps Engineer, with a link to civicactions.com. Below the signature is a CivicActions branded footer with the text “We’re hiring! Check out our jobs.”

Yes, we are aware that the @bigbeautifulboycott.us is down right now. It isn’t us, but we are doing what we can to fix. What are we doing? Nothing, do people really think I can fix Cloudflare? Just wait and see…. www.cloudflarestatus.com #cloudflare #outage #oops

At #Navy250, ole trumpy said that he told Pete Hegseth about 911 a year before it happened. Pete was a freshman at Princeton during that time. Enjoy the video, I’m going to get sent to a camp for this one.

The applause for Trump’s entrance was MID 😂 #Navy250 Also, like dude, wear a fucking navy ball cap. It’s the navy’s birthday… don’t wear a fucking campaign hat. The navy ball cap is a whole thing

Melania decided to wear a Trump campaign cap and not the command ball cap… #navy250 that is a choice…

Trump is such a disgrace. The event is starting nearly an hour late because of him. If you aren’t 15 minutes early, you are late.

I am making a warranty claim for my Tilley Hat. These are some pics with my AMAZING hat, but alas, my ex-wife felt that she needed to keep it. I'm hoping this falls within their "Lifetime Warranty".

Apple needs to rethink Glass. My battery is pretty much going to powering the glass interface. It uses more energy than any single app, yet it has run for only 5 minutes.

#Apple #iOS Glass is really causing issues. On top of the major performance hit I’ve taken, not notifications stacks are merging into one. @appleinsider.com

Bentley Hensel @bentleyhensel.com · 24/06/2025
iOS is randomly partially toggling other alarms when you enable/disable one. I just reported to Apple, but I’ve never had any of my reports get any feedback, so I don’t know if it is even worth it to submit them.

Just a friendly reminder, if you ignore notifications long enough, they fix themselves.

In what world is this accessible? I can barely see the flashlight icon when it is turned on. #a11y #apple #iOS
A screenshot of an iPhone Lock Screen with the new Apple glass. The flashlight icon is incredibly difficult to see. Instead of a high contrast color, it is light purple on white.

I do love ai. I asked #Copilot "Thoughtsies" on my CI pipeline and it said Great job, you only need to test. If you don't test, you can't fail.

I warned my @gitlab.com tests that they needed to work. They continued to disappoint, so I deleted them. If you don't test, you can't fail. #CI #Development #DevOps

I’m updating my #Hinge profile and after I wrote “MAGA,” Apple suggested the word “cult” I’m wondering how long it will take before it starts suggesting the word “fascist” Also, I’m fairly sure Hinge is using OpenAI to power their feedback. The political references killed the response.

Go on a run with me! #running #earlymorning #dc #arlington — My run brain had the “great” idea to test 24fps Action Mode on the iPhone. Spoiler: never again. That noise in the end shots? Yeah… that’s why. #runwithme #iphoneactionmode #iphonevideotips #creatorproblems #morningmiles

Over the past month, I’ve been purchasing gear I will use during my Alaska Expedition. While I won’t be using the cases during the trip, they will get my gear to Alaska from Virginia. I never heard of Nanuk cases until this month and I think I’m in love.

Ted Cruz is one of the people responsible for the #DCA disaster. Yes, I said what I said. He, along with Martha Cantwell, promised to kill the #FAA reauthorization unless they added DCA flights against the advice of safety experts. THEY WERE WARNED ABOUT COLLISIONS! thehill.com/homenews/465...

Our group is the caboose. We are waiting at the intersection of 17th & I while the two others go ahead of us. Also, Dr. Taylor Alison Swift is a big fan favorite here. I’ve heard a non-negligible number of Taylor’s Versions played today.

If you have questions about security, or Dr. Swift, stop on by! Happening the same time as every week, 11AM till noon EST." followed by a Zoom link.
