Ah yes, a politics of national victimhood with nostalgia for a lost golden age. Famously punk.

matty stratton: “Being right wing is punk” some motherfucker actually typed those words seriously (source)

“We want this to be a welcoming place for people who bring kindness, curiosity, and care.”

This is why when Tim Riley asked if Honeybadger would be a founding patron of the Hanami project, I said please take my money.

That’s a wrap, RailsConf. The friendships I’ve formed these past 16 years in Ruby mean the world to me.

I’ll see you around!

overstimulated and the conference hasn’t even started yet

I brought five of our original RailsConf Portland 2013 stickers with me. These may be the last five in existence. Lmk if you are feeling lucky. :)

Sneak peek… Bringing a couple of these to RailsConf next week (one to give away and one to play on). Stop by the Honeybadger booth for a chance to win one.

most don’t realize Wherever You Will Go by The Calling is a song about whole life insurance

Damn, strong start to season 4 of The Bear

Here’s something I’ve been working on in my spare time over the past few weeks. Your AI agent can now talk to Honeybadger. 👀

“The United States was the largest donor to Gavi, whose work is estimated to have saved the lives of 17 million children around the world over the past two decades.”

And if you like jazz, Portland‘s KMHD also streams online.

Erika Hall: A lot of you probably know this but KEXP.org is transmitting from a better world. Humans talking and playing music by humans.

Ever since, they got a broadcast license in the Bay Area, it’s been the soundtrack at home and at the studio, but you can internet/app listen from anywhere. (source)

tbh I didn’t need to know why resist libs call Ted Cruz Rafael

y’all know Tucker also said real men should tan their balls right

Tucker Carlson is not, under any circumstances, “the voice of reason” (source)

This would be such a tragedy, and irreversible.

Axios is just asking questions: what if the accelerationist AI millenarians are right?

This is the least critical piece I’ve read in a while… just pure drivel.

This is a local business owner and church member who has been in the US since 1994. This is cruel and unnecessary. And the kicker is that arrests like this will shutter local economies (wine tourism in this case). It literally hurts everyone. I hope you enjoy not visiting vineyards, I guess?

explaining protocol handlers to your therapist is actually not too far-fetched

Konnor Rogers: unsolicited first interaction with someone having them tell me to “go to therapy to fix your hate problem” over me expressing displeasure about mailto: links is just weird. (source)

ngl it’s been a rough week and my anxiety is through the roof. at least the week is almost over

Someone is definitely going to make this though

“the agent can ping code owners for extra context”

In episode 1, Gilfoyle codes a MCP server to DM questions to coworkers on Slack so he doesn’t have to chat with them directly. (source)

I wonder what Russia’s political theater is like

I just became a premium subscriber to Mike Monteiro’s newsletter. The newsletter is free but you can also pay for it. Can’t wait to get more of the same.

OH: “you may wonder why a llama is talking about European regulations”

The comment history on these PRs is bleak. Remember when software development used to be teams of smart people working together, instead of mentoring chat bots?

These Russian nesting dolls are too much

Am I too old for a shiny new bmx bike

Win “friends” and influence people

If you want people to open your marketing emails, especially if it’s been a while since they heard from you, don’t make the subject “It’s been a while”

Why did i have caffeine that late

It’s highly unfortunate that “cursed knowledge” and “critical knowledge” are currently overlapping in the Venn diagram.

If you want to know more about Tulsi Gabbard and Science of Identity, the QAA podcast folks did a great episode about it.

Very excited about the weather this week

It’s a gorgeous day here in the Pacific Northwest. Just finished a morning run.

May the fourth be with you 🌤️

When the ranchers start to turn on you

“I’m no fan of big government,” Wilkins at the East Foundation said. “But a problem like this is what the government is for. We should have the government we need to handle this moment, and we don’t.”

“It’s against my programming to impersonate a deity”

C-3PO

Here’s what we’ve been mixing up at Honeybadger this past quarter. (that’s a pun)

Excited to ship this one!

I guess I’ll just be awake now

It’s apple fritter o’clock

Love getting The Onion in the mail.

I was recently interviewed for a Ruby Central company spotlight. I’d like it say it’s been a wild ride at Honeybadger, but it’s actually been pretty calm, relatively speaking. 😁

Thanks for writing about us!

Sinners is one to see

“Order is being processed, please don’t close this window”

Below that a big orange “Close” button. Do they do this on purpose?

Every time I see a K Line shipping container I think of IRC, am I a nerd

It’s alright
It’s okay
There’s something to live for
Jesus told me so

I am le tired

Someone who works in the parts department of a car dealership in Wisconsin saw one of our Honeybadger t-shirts and liked it so much he tracked down our 800 number and left a message. Shipping him one for free. This is what I love about my job.

It is impressive (if unsurprising) how fast Joe Kent—the Trumpist who unsuccessfully ran for congress twice in my district—failed his way into a national security scandal.
