Good morning! ☕️
It’s been an interesting week with our new pup, Cocoa. Potty training a puppy is quite a chore and there are lots of accidents while doing it. We’ve figured out her pattern and have been taking her out every few hours. She’s doing really well! 🐶
A frantic, three-month cash dash by Jake Soberal, the chief executive officer of Bitwise Industries, to convince local investors to provide hard money loans may have ultimately led to the sprawling tech hub and real estate venture’s undoing.
I hope everyone affected by this is able to find work soon. This furlough affected 900 people. That’s just horrible.
I’m hopeful Bitwise will be able to get this all figured out and continue operations soon, but it looks pretty grim. 😔
I’ll cut to the chase: 50 million requests costs $12,000, a figure far more than I ever could have imagined.
I feel terrible for Christian. Apollo, his Reddit client, is arguably the best iOS client application on the market. It’s the client application I use and it’s beautifully designed and extremely stable.
Reddit just wants to destroy all third-party applications. Just come out and say that.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this Christian. ❤️
Yet another example of a service destroying the business of a tiny developer who made the “mistake” of using their free API.
Climate change is spurring interest in remaking local infrastructure to accommodate renewable energy, minimize power failures and expand consumer choice.
I really like this idea of a “Mom & Pop” sized local energy producer.
Of course progressive towns would choose solar and wind energy while red states would pump out energy using coal and fossil fuels.
I am proudly publishing this post from my new home in Tokyo, Japan.
Good for you Louie! There’s a part of me that wishes we’d traveled more often when we were younger.
I’m realizing waiting until retirement to get out into the world is a huge mistake. You bust your butt for a long time, retire, then can’t get around because your body hurts so much you don’t feel like getting out. Who called them the golden years? Probably some ad agency. 🤣
The North Carolina base was originally named in 1918 for Gen. Braxton Bragg, a Confederate general from Warrenton, North Carolina, who was known for owning slaves and losing key Civil War battles that contributed to the Confederacy’s downfall.
The dude was a loser so let’s name a US Military Base after him. 🤣
Thank you Confederate Bragg for helping the United States defeat the Confederacy and abolish slavery.
The Confederacy needs to be completely smashed. It should remain in history books and be shamed every chance we get.
Ben & Jerry’s business model is built around the idea that every decision we make, and every dollar we spend in the course of our day-to-day operations is an opportunity to advance our progressive values.
Let’s hear it for progressive values!
Go buy a pint of Chubby Hubby, Phish Food, Cherry Garcia, or your own personal favorite and support a wonderful progressive company.
The last time I saw my great-uncle, he uttered six words that I will never forget. Struggling to speak, as he was already 102 years old, his mouth slowly formed each syllable with excruciating effort: “Nazis… are… bastards… Shoot… to… kill!"
And there you have it, direct from someone who knows a thing or two about Nazis.
NASCAR has implemented an update to the Next Gen NASCAR Cup Series chassis that will go into effect beginning with this weekend’s action at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Part of what fascinates me about motor sports is the ever evolving technology. When Kyle Larson was hit broadside by Ryan Preece at Talladega it caused the roll cage to fail. Luckily it was on the passenger side of the car. NASCAR did an analysis of the situation and altered the design of the Next Gen frame to reinforce it.
I’ve often wondered why drivers aren’t positioned in the center of the car when I see an incident like that one. It’s probably been studied and found to be less safe for all I know. 🏁
Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, multiple sources told CNN, undercutting his argument that he declassified everything.
Oh, look, the Orange Menace is running his mouth again.
I’ve said it many times but I don’t care if he does time as long as he’s disqualified from running for any public office.
Jail time would be a nice bonus. 🚨
Beginning in 1943, the War Department published a series of pamphlets for U.S. Army personnel in the European theater of World War II. Titled Army Talks, the series was designed “to help [the personnel] become better-informed men and women and therefore better soldiers.”
It really does feel like we are going more and more down the fascism rabbit hole here in The States. I wish the divide, growing larger and larger with each passing day, could be mended so we could move forward as a united nation.
