This should be the exact opposite take away from the movies success.
Stop making franchises and start telling new stories. Thats what we want!

Project Hail Mary is doing so well at the global box office that there’s talk of turning it into a franchise with a sequel. bit.ly/4uWmHb4

Trump claiming there's a shelf in the White House with 30 billion dollars in unmarked bills
Assuming all 100's, that's 300 million bills. That's about 66,000 pounds and would take up about 500 cubic meters. And somehow nobody but him knew about it
That's one hell of a shelf.

Great 1st day at #GitHubEnterprise, learned how AI can help, not just in coding (and where it shouldn't be used), vibe-coded a neat PR for the badges, won a LEGO building contest, drove an F1 car (sim), built a GitHub lamp, met @ashleymcnamara IRL. Can't wait for day 2!

The badge app will work now in the Gateway Pavilion which has that wifi ssid working. The app will cache your data.

@ashleymcnamara If I see you, I'll say hi in person. But, none of that crazy stuff I hear other people say.

Last year was my first #GitHubUniverse. I’d always admired it from afar—those hackable badges gave me major FOMO! I finally got my first one at the event, but this year, I’m part of the testing process. Check it out! I can’t wait to tinker with it and see what other cool things I can do. Any hack suggestions?

Finally made our family’s donation, and I’m getting close to my personal goal amount raised! 😍

【fundraising!】It's hard to believe that it's been 14 years since my first grand mal seizure and Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation (brain vascular tumor) diagnosis, and 14 years since my craniotomy (brain surgery) to remove those pesky freeloaders from my brain. The diagnosis, the treatments, the surgery, the recovery... Everything was a devastation for my family and my 21 year old self. It's been 14 years brain injury, executive dysfunction, anxiety disorder, aphasia, and chronic fatigue, but I'm at a place in life I could never have imagined for myself in my darkest days. It's been 3 and a half years since I "accidentally" learned that I had a mini-stroke at some point in my early adulthood (probably during high school), and 3 years since I became a mom (now to 2 toddlers). My family, privilege of having good health insurance coverage, privilege of living near amazing medical facilitates with top notch surgeons, and my relatively young age has allowed me to start life anew, with a few extra quirks. And now, I'm finally attending the TAAF Walk in person for the first time in many, many years. I am not involved in the research side of AVM and stroke. But I have been a devastated patient, and almost equally lost survivor. And the existence of TAAF (and especially our super leader Dina) has been instrumental in my recovery and hope in the first few years of my recovery. Without the kind connection Dina extended me during my deepest times, and the tireless advocacy work she does on our behalf, I would not be where I am today, with a career, kids, and a "new type of life" that really is nothing like what I imagined pre-diagnosis, but is extremely fulfilling. No one wants to have brain surgery at 21, but it was a pivotal moment in my life, where I had to acknowledge my mortality and what living means. I was told I had many limits to my quality of life and what I can do, including working a full-time job and living independently. With the support of TAAF and my family and friends, I proved most of them wrong. I hope you'll support me this month in helping to fundraise to keep this organization running, advocating, and providing the much-needed emotional and resource support to vascular malformation (AVMs, Brain Aneurysms, etc.) and stroke survivors, as well as their loved ones for years and years to come. Thank you! 🎗️ Hiroko's AVM Research Fundraiser for @TAAF: classy.org/fundraiser/655…

@MerrittBaer Also, you can design a car to pass any test like that. Tell me what it isn't good at now!

Must be nice to steal IP instead of developing it 💅

Trump did to the Canadian Liberals what Putin did to Nato. Provoke and you may just get a response!

@elysiasegal I'd love if you would post on Bsky as well. I'm using that exclusively and just come here once a month to nudge people I miss!
