As a web dev industry, we're focusing *way too much* on the front of the stack and *far too little* on the back of the stack. At this point, you're better off learning the latest Postgres 14 SQL goodies than React 18. I'm not joking. Major course correction is needed. ⚡️
Taught a money workshop yesterday to youth experiencing homelessness and asked them what they would do each day if money wasn’t a worry. One 18-year-old said that if money wasn’t a worry, they would save an extra rainy day fund for their rainy day fund.
Accepting the closure of borders to people who lived here before the borders existed is unacceptable.

There are a lot of people out there proposing solutions for poverty in america that have, um, never asked a single person living in poverty about what they *need*
I'm struggling to maintain my calm.

Gohmert doesn’t understand climate change. He makes a false claim about orbital mechanics, and makes people think he’s an idiot. Climate change is caused by human activity, releasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. twitter.com/astrokatie/sta…
Update: Looks like Gohmert really wants us to believe that the orbits of the Earth and Moon are the cause of climate change so we’ll give up and conclude there’s no w...
I went down a Tiktok rabbit hole today because I didn’t want to do more work after day job… and finally @hankgreen showed up on my FYP… on a @johngreen tiktok 😂
My current life stage is apparently: “folding tea towels with eye contact is a thirst trap”
TIL that @amtrak has a tiktok and it is exactly what you expect vm.tiktok.com/ZMddNR4Ak/
Now they aren’t even pretending to be sane any more. “GOP Rep. Gohmert suggests altering moon's orbit to combat climate change” nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

Rock is challenging to mix, it seems. Some really bad misses (Blink 182, Sum 41, Papa Roach, LIVE) and some strong execution too. "Here Comes the Sun" is near perfection. "Renegade" from Styx is a very strong effort. "Silent Lucidity" is well done. "Tom Sawyer" also.
