So, @Ubiquiti responded to our action. A few hours after we showed up at their headquarters in Manhattan, @Square - Ubiquiti’s partner company - deactivated the account we use to sell T-shirts at our gigs. Going after Russian feminist activists in exile, but not after Russian war criminals. Cringe.

Return your unwanted Reform UK flyers to this address and it costs them £2.50 a pop. Pop this address on an envelope with the flyer in, and pop it in a post box! The more we return, the less they will send!

Some thoughts on the TE testing last night as it pertains to fantasy: IMO the discourse around tested athleticism at the TE position relative to how it’s discussed at WR is a pretty good example of the fantasy industry over-indexing on “R-squared” rather than critical thinking

I think Tugay's back catalogue of Premiership bangers might be unbeatable. Barclays royalty.

Hi folks. Unfortunately my old account was hacked and stole from me, then changed to something else entirely. You should unfollow them if you still do. I’m still here. Still talking fantasy and best ball. Appreciate you all.

And with that Alec Pierce TD @deftangel moves into pole position! Can he hang in there to win it all!
NFL Blackjack@NFLBlackjack

Our 3rd entrant on 20 TDs is @deftangel hes been consistently scoring and trending towards hitting the 21 for a few weeks now. Will he be able to complete the job? He is hoping for the 1 TD from Harold Fannin, Kyle Williams, Alex Pierce, Keaton Mitchell or Tony Pollard

Microservices is the software industry’s most successful confidence scam. It convinces small teams that they are “thinking big” while systematically destroying their ability to move at all. It flatters ambition by weaponizing insecurity: if you’re not running a constellation of services, are you even a real company? Never mind that this architecture was invented to cope with organizational dysfunction at planetary scale. Now it’s being prescribed to teams that still share a Slack channel and a lunch table. Small teams run on shared context. That is their superpower. Everyone can reason end-to-end. Everyone can change anything. Microservices vaporize that advantage on contact. They replace shared understanding with distributed ignorance. No one owns the whole anymore. Everyone owns a shard. The system becomes something that merely happens to the team, rather than something the team actively understands. This isn’t sophistication. It’s abdication. Then comes the operational farce. Each service demands its own pipeline, secrets, alerts, metrics, dashboards, permissions, backups, and rituals of appeasement. You don’t “deploy” anymore—you synchronize a fleet. One bug now requires a multi-service autopsy. A feature release becomes a coordination exercise across artificial borders you invented for no reason. You didn’t simplify your system. You shattered it and called the debris “architecture.” Microservices also lock incompetence in amber. You are forced to define APIs before you understand your own business. Guesses become contracts. Bad ideas become permanent dependencies. Every early mistake metastasizes through the network. In a monolith, wrong thinking is corrected with a refactor. In microservices, wrong thinking becomes infrastructure. You don’t just regret it—you host it, version it, and monitor it. The claim that monoliths don’t scale is one of the dumbest lies in modern engineering folklore. What doesn’t scale is chaos. What doesn’t scale is process cosplay. What doesn’t scale is pretending you’re Netflix while shipping a glorified CRUD app. Monoliths scale just fine when teams have discipline, tests, and restraint. But restraint isn’t fashionable, and boring doesn’t make conference talks. Microservices for small teams is not a technical mistake—it is a philosophical failure. It announces, loudly, that the team does not trust itself to understand its own system. It replaces accountability with protocol and momentum with middleware. You don’t get “future proofing.” You get permanent drag. And by the time you finally earn the scale that might justify this circus, your speed, your clarity, and your product instincts will already be gone.

@NFL_TStrack In a league with an overly high percentage of billionaire fuckwits in no way serious about winning and she’s getting heat for this? It’s 20-fucking-25! Hope she gets a championship

@NFL_TStrack I haven’t read them for a while, possibly in over a year but I used to find the summaries really bad, not sure if these are new? Modern LLMs should be able to do a better job. Conversely, I value the ETR summaries that are written or voiced by humans immensely

@NFL_TStrack If they spent any time actually listening to JJ’s approach to things they would have realised just how daft the “concern” actually was. Feels like a take on AI they’ve been sitting on and were itching to get out there for the sake of it
