It's so discouraging how Chicago Bears management is dead set on eventually building a new stadium that will be entirely indoors—against the will of so many fans. Win or lose, this is beautiful. This is how football should be played in the winter.

If we ever develop time travel, the first thing we should do is go back and stop selinux from becoming a thing.

Trump voter in this @PhillyInquirer article: “People says he’s a dictator. I believe that. I consider him like Hitler. But I voted for him.” Welp. inquirer.com/politics/elect…

If a kid says "bro" 15 times after I open the door do I still have to give them candy?

THESE GRITTY TIGS ARE ALDS BOUND. #RepDetroit

On this day eight years ago, the following Twitter exchange occurred.

I better go superviral for this...

Parker Meadows hits a go-ahead grand slam with the @Tigers down to their last strike! 🤯

When someone asks you what targeting is just show them this video.

Wait...are these brats at the LLWS rooting for the Yankees? #wrong #unamerican

We know you’ve been waiting for this one… “Maps” is here and it’s beautiful. #B1GWelcome

FWIW - lots of you thought I was joking about Southwest Airlines using Windows 3.1 - I wasn't joking. yahoo.com/tech/windows-v…

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

Technically speaking CrowdStrike actually kept a lot of hackers from breaking into your systems today.

Some of us are somehow able to: ▫️Condemn the violent 2020 BLM riots. ▫️Condemn the January 6 Capitol riot. ▫️Condemn the violent attack on Paul Pelosi. ▫️Condemn the assassination attempt on Trump. It really isn't hard, unless you're a tribal partisan hack.

Wow...wish I would've seen the Sonos app implosion before I ordered another speaker. What a mess.

Hold on here. There are people putting fucking cream cheese on a hotdog? No.
