Watching women's breaking and it's good to see Liz Lemon still doing her thing for Team Australia.

@joerexrode @scavendish Fair assessment

@robby1066 @scavendish Better movie. Better soundtrack. Not enough breaking for 11-year-old me.

Turbo and Ozone would approve.

@scavendish @joerexrode The correct answer is Beat Street.

@joerexrode Were you a "Breakin'" guy or an "Electric Boogaloo" guy?

@elizzmo @tracey_f Yeah, apple and google demand a fairly bonkers percentage of in-app purchases. IMO it's more their fault than Amazon's

@tracey_f Okay! At least there’s an explanation even if it’s DUMB

Why is it impossible to buy a book for a kindle to read on your phone? Can’t in the kindle app. Can’t in the Amazon app. Why have a kindle app for your phone if you can’t buy any dang books on it????? This has made me mad more than once. Just had to vent.

Nashville: "We have a Nazi problem." Some hero: "Modern problems require modern solutions."

Man, I had forgotten all about how intensely demoralizing testing landing pages is. 😭

@robzolkos Thanks, I'm learning every day just how complex it is! Luckily my cofounder has the legal background to make up for my blind spots. (btw, we're building it in Rails! 😉)

@robby1066 This is a great inititative. Good luck with it. Legal immigration (and citizenship) is complex and not enough focus is put on making it simpler and easier.

Quick life update: After too long of a “sabbatical”, I'm doing something new! My new friend Anjana and I are working on making U.S. citizenship more affordable and accessible with an app called Clearbox. landing.clearboxlegal.com/you-are-here

It's a lot of fun, but I'm still coming up to speed on SO much. If you have experience with the U.S. immigration system (directly, indirectly, whatever) and would be up for a chat, I'd love to talk. Thanks!

It guides people through the citizenship application process, automating input and checking for errors—which frees up an attorney to focus on the people and their concerns, while also reducing costs.

@johnvoncolln @_jessicasachs I remember being like "FTP is for savages" while I'm SCP'ing a deploy like it's not the exact same thing.

@_jessicasachs Back in my day we didn’t have version control, we just ftp’d that shit to prod and hope it worked! Or maybe that was just me lol

Hey friends! If you've been professionally developing websites before 2011 and have a minute, can you answer some "back in my day" software development questions for me? Not limited to stack. I have some pre-2004 gaps that I'm trying to fill as well.

@AuntB It truly is shockingly dinky

I just saw a Tesla truck in real life and I was unprepared for how insubstantial it looks.

Northern lights lookin' good, y'all.

@AuntB Me and my inexplicably sore coccyx agree 100%

Every part of getting old is weird. Every part.

Oh fuck no

I deal with my long time Nashville hockey fandom by accepting that the Preds are elevating playing like idiots to a high art form. When you appreciate them like an Andy Kaufman of hockey, they're super fun to watch.

@CivilWarSyndrom lEts gO pErDS! 🙃

Up 3-1 with 19:00 on the clock in the 3rd period Up 3-2 with 3:00 on the clock Tied 3-3 with 8 seconds left in regulation Lose 4-3 1:03 into OT At some point, I need to divorce my emotional well-being from the Nashville Predators

@scavendish @DanMandisShow That's the wrong question. Why have we all gotten so comfortable letting mini flying saucers into our homes where they're perfectly positioned for the robo-alien uprising? 🤔

@DanMandisShow Why do these things always look like someone launched a Roomba across the sky?

Real or.....?? nypost.com/2024/04/25/us-…

@johnvoncolln @thesamparr Ha! I was at Jobster through all that mess (and after, I stayed there WAY too long). Such a weird rollercoaster.

@thesamparr We did print on demand for Fab back then - wild times!

Yeahs ago at the hustle we did a content series called: sh*t, i'm f*cked was about stories of failing. people didn't love it. but...i still do! thehustle.co/jason-goldberg…
