Primary election today! School board is a non-partisan seat, and Hillsborough school board district 6 is a county-wide seat, so anyone registered to vote in Hillsborough county can vote for Karen Perez, regardless of party (can be NPA as well)

This is what I imagine is back there
In The Simpsons Movie (2007), Homer’s "monkey brain" is famously shown when Marge tries to talk to him about a serious topic (their pet pig), but an X-ray or peek inside his head reveals an empty space where a literal toy monkey is happily doing backflips and crashing cymbals together instead of critical thinking.

Auto-capitalization gets it wrong so often that I’ve turned it off. Not 100% sure this will fix your issue but I think it would? If you’re willing to give up auto-capitalization that is. I already had a habit of manually capitalizing so I didn’t miss it.

Decided to try #Arch #Linux for this. Manual install for the first time because had problems with archinstall script. Same problem with manual install (keyring / signatures) but figured it out. Then I forgot to enable encryption & had to redo. Lot of troubleshooting before I got it working.

iOS Bluesky client bug. Shows “1mo” for both but the post I’m reskeeting is 1 month before my post (should be “2mo”). It makes it seem like they were both 1 month ago from now, which detracts from how I was trying to show that Max correctly predict an event that happened about 1 month after his post

macOS has a subset of #Emacs keyboard shortcuts in text fields, but many years ago I started using 3rd party tools to have Emacs style PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, Undo in all apps. Using BetterTouchTool currently for this. Pressing ctrl-v with my left hand to scroll my Bluesky feed 🤓 #Apple #Mac

Reason for using JetBrains backup & sync feature is its automatic and I can jump between machines with my personal settings automatically synced across without thinking about it. Looks like VSCode has a similar feature that I'm turning on though I don't use VSCode very often.

#Tampa City Council District 5 special election giving me a chance to work on my election tools. Lot of hastily written code w/ things for Jessica Vaughn @jessicavaughn.bsky.social hard-coded all over. Opportunity to clean up. Now have Claude Code, etc to help do things quicker #dev #elections
A side-by-side comparison of two maps showing voting data for the same geographic area around Tampa, Florida, including neighborhoods like Temple Terrace, East Lake, and Tampa Heights.

The map on the left is colored with shades of yellow and green, while the map on the right is colored with shades of light and dark green. Both maps are divided into numbered precincts and display voting percentages and total votes. The data presented on the two maps is complementary; for example, a precinct showing 32% on the left map shows 68% on the right, indicating they represent two different choices in the same election. The controls at the top confirm the maps are displaying "votePercentage" by color and showing "totalVotes" numerically.

A man with a salt-and-pepper beard takes a selfie outdoors. He is wearing a maroon t-shirt with a white circular graphic that reads "NO KINGS" at the top and "NO TYRANTS" at the bottom. He is also wearing sunglasses, a baseball cap, and a white earbud. He is standing on a paved path with a grassy area and trees in the background.

A close-up of a small, dark blue garden flag on a black metal stake, set amidst low-growing green plants with tiny blue flowers. The flag features white, capitalized text reading "NO KINGS IN" at the top and "AMERICA" at the bottom. Underneath "AMERICA," the phrase "SINCE 1776" is written in small red text. A graphic of the American flag is in the center, and a large agave plant is visible in the background.

Had Claude Code summarize my election / voter tools written in #Kotlin. Accurate summary, though have some old code I don't use anymore, like using Postgres. Loading and processing data files in memory on the JVM is simpler & faster, and Kotlin can be more expressive and powerful than SQL. #Java

Never ceases to amaze me how many folks who've heard RATM are in Paul Ryan mode, having literally ZERO understanding of anything that band was about and even less understanding where any of us might stand on contemporary issues. Recently was talking to a couple at a restaurant who were big fans of "Killing In The Name". The nice lady said, "I love that song. It helped me rage against my parents and later against the jab!" | said, "Ma'am that song is about racist cops who often behave like the Ku Klux Klan in service of historical white supremacy and are boot licking lackeys and thugs of the racist capitalist ruling class." She sat there chewing and blinking, chewing and

Stopped using X except very rare cases to something. Still have my account but deleted all my posts, etc. Realized I still have the app installed, and deleted it in case it does something malicious. E.g. location tracking though I doubt I gave it permission. The app should be considered malware.
