As one of your constituents, I am deeply disappointed in your decision to fold on this vote. Your explanation does not justify abandoning the principles you claimed to stand for. I expect better representation and courage from my elected officials, and will remember this when it's time to vote again

At Texture, we're taking the counterintuitive path: fewer people, but better. After 5 startups, I've learned this approach accelerates success even while burning capital faster. Senior folks make better decisions when they matter most. www.texturehq.com/blog/why-tex...

The power grid is no longer one-way. Homes are becoming power plants. Every EV is a mobile battery. Yet energy companies are stuck with legacy systems "because we've already invested so much." Time to evolve. www.texturehq.com/blog/sunk-co...

It is 2025 how can my Voicemail get “full”?! Come on carriers, get with the program, storage is cheap. I should not have to go manually deleting voicemails to keep receiving them 😡

Reverse-engineered APIs = unstable, insecure, & unreliable. At Texture, we partner directly with OEMs to build stable, well-supported integrations that power distributed energy at scale. 💡 Learn why this matters: medium.com/texturehq/wh... #EnergyTech #APIs #Innovation

The ability to turn on Motion Cues in iOS 18 is a hugely underrated feature! After many car rides with it, can confirm it helps. Doesn’t entirely prevent motion sickness (for me at least) but does have a noticeable impact #ios Here’s an article on how to enable it www.groovypost.com/howto/enable...

Why is it that no hotel ever has hand soap? No matter how nice the hotel they always just plop a hard bar of soap next to the sink and leave you to wash your hands with an overly fragrant soap meant for your face. Why??

Finally got my bike back up and running after sitting in a storage unit for 5 years! Also TIL Bluesky only supports photos and not videos — had a good one of the engine purring

The US Post Office is a UX nightmare. Horribly confusing, no instructions, you have to wait in line to speak to a human then have to go back in-line if anything is off. I had to wait in the line three times to get through on my most recent visit 👎 Wish someone would clean that up!

It is 2023. How does every real estate For Sale sign not have a QR code on it? I constantly find myself seeing them then find myself wasting time searching for the realtor name and/or address trying to find the damned listing page

Great night with an Irish Whiskey tasting for the CTO Slackers group here in NYC! Final pour was an incredible 33-year Bushmills rarity signed by the distiller. Hats off to Barry Chandler who flew in from Ireland to share the stories behind every whiskey and the history of Irish whiskey. Sláinte!

She's right. The invite tree is the way social media can scale responsibly. Not only can you identify bad actors, but you can trace lineage of harassment campaigns to where hate groups organize off-site. I don't think this place did this on purpose, but it is miraculous found money.

…perhaps this should stay invite-only forever? Would love if Bluesky could maintain a user tree like lobste.rs/u which would give visibility to who invited who and in the eventual inevitability that bad users are brought in, it’s easier to detect and shut down But for now it’s so nice here
