@obie How are you feeling about Nexus after a quarter of use? Has the knowledge capture been useful? Did you create ruby bindings for Oxigraph?

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached. Let’s make sure it goes viral here.

Ben McCollum is at his best in the final 24 hours before tip-off, when he crams for the test and usually finds the answers. An inside look at what that looks like for @IowaHoops (free for all to read): nytimes.com/athletic/71532…

I gotta hand it to Trump. Destroying the stock market, obliterating his own political party and launching nuclear war is a bold alternative to just disclosing whatever in the fuck he did in those Epstein files.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/copil…

@figma GitHub opted everyone into AI training for Copilot. You have until April 24 to opt out. x.com/gergelyorosz/s…

Friday 03/27/2026: -Dow drops 800 & enters correction -Nasdaq falls 460 after correction -S&P: 5th straight losing week -Oil closes: highest level since 2022 -House GOP rejects Senate DHS Bill -Hormuz still closed -Tomorrow = 1 month since Iran War began Meanwhile at WH Today:

From @TheAthletic: Iowa's Bennett Stirtz is college basketball's Cinderella story. “In 20 years,” coach Ben McCollum said, “it will be an insane story.” It already is. Here's how Stirtz went from mowing lawns to the Elite Eight. nyti.ms/41ymgGm

When I lost in 2020, GOP ran ads claiming I’d close rural hospitals because I supported a public option. It was bullshit. Since then, under GOP control, we’ve seen endless stories of hospitals & L&D units across Iowa closing. Time to wake up & support change like @BohannanIowa

Angel Reese helping up Caitlin Clark Hope this goes viral, too

If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Kamala’s and Cheney’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Trump.

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

I almost appreciate how Trump has exposed how vacant every single high profile conservative belief was: free speech, states’ rights, letting the market decide, NATO, right to bear arms, democracy, all of it. It’s been an empty, malicious political project for decades and decades

Today DHS assassinated a VA nurse in the street, Bondi is attempting to extort voter files, and half the country is bracing on the eve of a potentially crippling ice storm with FEMA gutted. So what is the President up to? Having a movie night at the White House. He’s unfit.

I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop. We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.

There is far more outrage from tech leaders over a wealth tax than masked ICE agents terrorizing communities and executing civilians in the streets. Tells you what you need to know about the values of our industry.

Every Democratic member of Congress should be on a plane to Minneapolis right now to join the people protesting in the streets. Federal elected officials should physically place themselves between the public and these dangerous thugs sent to terrorize this American city.

If someone had predicted before the last election that if Trump won, federal officers would be shooting Americans in the streets, he'd have been dismissed as an alarmist.
