ICE’s privacy policy URL is a 404 Page Not Found, which is poetic I suppose

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.

Yeesssss. I'm liking what I'm seeing in the NextConf livestream. Next.js has been bending the meaning of "static" and "dynamic" for a long time. It's good to be up front about it. Next.js 16 is still investing heavily in HTTP streaming which may be counterproductive for many sites.
Screenshot of the Next.js conf livestream. The slide says "Cache Components: Dynamic by default"A slide that says "Partial Prerendering: Static and dynamic. For all routes."

A photo of my oldest son and I walking on the breakwater in Grand Marias harbor. We have or hands on each others backs for safety and guidance. We are walking away from the camera which was held by my father. Stare at the photo for more than a few seconds and you will hear “Cat’s in the Cradle” playing alongside a few tears dropping.

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done. I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

I'm putting together a slide deck about collaborative documentation editing and pull requests. Gotta include a screenshot of the time when, as Faux Al Gore, I got a typo fix merged into a government repo.
A screenshot of the pull request interface on GitHub. The PR is titled "Spelling fix in humans.txt" and the body shows fauxalgore saying:



Was this line was a Freudian slip? After all, the messaging around HTML5 was overly sanctimonious and perhaps deserving of a little resentment. I preferred HTML 3.2 myself 😉

But in all seriousness, keep up the good work. And thank you for participating in the open government movement.

You won’t see it directly on the video feed, but know that as I do this @pantheon.io livestream with @jazzsequence.com in an hour about @github.com integration, I will be oh so much more effective because, for the first time, I’ll be streaming from my new double-standing desk situation.

I made a silly video about the new Push to Pantheon GitHub Action that enables simpler pushing to @pantheon.io for those using Actions from @github.com. Try it if you already need to push to Pantheon as part of your GitHub Actions flow.

I’m bringing Wapuu to DrupalCon to hang out with @jazzsequence.com and the rest of @pantheon.io. We need more sharing of ideas across the CMS world
Wapuu sits atop a stack of luggage aboard a MARTA train, eager, and a bit nervous, to go to DrupalCon for the first time.

I know I am late to this party but @github.com Actions are amazing. I was deep in CircleCI for years and then I was out of the weeds of CI for a while. I assumed Actions were like Circle, but you know, included. And they are. But they’re also a joy to use in many little ways I didn’t expect!
