  • Beautiful afternoon at K9 Garden with Hans and Franz!

  • If you had any remaining doubts that Trump considers ICE to be his personal intimidation force, this should clarify things for you.

  • This seems like an incredibly important data point for every leader around the globe to consider when interacting with Iran. This is especially true for those leaders that wrongfully feel they have the right to start unprovoked wars.

  • War Games is one of my favorite movies from the 80’s, and this is incredibly funny!

    When I first watched War Games (1983) I thought "wow, so weird, not only they had terrible password management, but their test 'AI' system was directly linked to the prod".

    Ha-ha. :blobcat_thisisfine:

  • Nikki McCann Ramirez wrote an excellent article in Rolling Stone about how we Americans, through our elected government, could be spending our collective budget on positive changes for citizens and humanity instead of bombing and killing Iranians.

    Surely, we all can agree that the following list of alternatives would have wide support:

    • Health Care
    • Child Care
    • Medical Debt
    • Foreign Aid
    • Food Assistance
    • Public Programming
    • Preschool Development
    • Aid for the Disabled

    These are all things that help real people and can have lasting, positive impacts on our collective lives on this planet. We are well overdue on changing the way we think as Americans about how best to have impact, and it all starts by actually caring about each other and electing the right leaders.

  • This ruling is a massive win for the citizens of the United States and for the over 360 million people worldwide that rely on Voice of America for information especially in countries where real, factual information is not otherwise accessible.

  • Paying $4/gallon for gas yesterday was super fun.

  • I’ve been spending some quality time integrating Aha! and Jira this week. I’ve been integrating systems for most of my professional career, and I have to say that Aha! has created an absolutely incredible user experience for something that is usually very technical and very difficult. It’s like a master class in how system integration should work.

    Now I have to figure out how to do this for financial technology systems.

  • Portillo’s is delicious wherever it might be. There’s no reason Portillo’s should slow down their expansion plans. Here’s the key – go to where the Chicagoans go.

    Start with expanding to college campuses. Tons of kids from Chicago go to Big Ten universities. Put a Portillo’s in every Big Ten city from coast to coast. An Italian beef after a night at the bars would have been delicious!

    A lot of those Chicago kids go back to Chicago for work, but a lot of them end up in cities like Denver, San Diego, Indianapolis, Kansas City, etc.

    Again, follow the Chicagoans. Land and expand!
