I'm back. Primarily to advocate for people getting tf out of here.

I wish I felt Elon was paying a much steeper penalty for his consistently atrocious behavior. The only power we have is to hit him in the wallet.

My stance: use a substitute for his products wherever possible. If I use one of his products, I intend to extract more value than I contribute.

Kellyanne Conway just said on Fox News that Kamala Harris doesn’t speak well or work hard — rich considering who she worked for, and laughable because we’ve all heard the VP speak. The racist dog whistles have begun.

I smell fear
As I said this morning, every state has their own election system and the Democrat party will face legal challenges in trying to remove Biden from the top of the ticket. Turns out the so-called “party of democracy” thinks it can overrule the votes of over 14 million Americans.

Broke my posting moratorium thinking maybe this place has some interesting insight or compelling action plan for what we're living through. Not really. Back to withholding my thoughts and attention from the site owned by Elon.

.@seahearnow I had tickets in my cart, but after many Bad Gateways and all sorts of other errors, my cart expired before I could complete checkout.

Truly infuriating. In 2024, this shouldn't be a problem. @frontgatetix

I eventually got tickets. I suspect not a whole lot of people successfully checked out on their first attempt.

I'm on the market! If you know of place that needs an engineering leader (e.g. managing managers), leads and referrals are much appreciated. I specialize in end-user product and roles requiring deep engagement with industry expertise.

I'm also confident in my platform skills, but it's just not where my recent experience is. From what I'm seeing, this is a market where employers can get very specific proven experience as needed, because of how many people are on market.

So far, my search is going well, but I'm trying to source as many opportunities as I can. Good luck to everyone else on the market right now. Wild times.

Thinking about this more, I'm guessing @Amtrak's pricing screen is showing prices that might be stale compared to their inventory, rather than real-time prices. But as a customer, this is unacceptable. They need a better solution to whatever the technical issue is. #amtrak
Twice in a row, @Amtrak has given me a price that it let's me take all the way to checkout, then fails to book, and then the price is gone and only more expensive tickets are offered. This is so shady. Straight up bait-and-switch.

.@googlecloud I think the Windows installer for the Google Cloud CLI is broken. Seems like a small typo may have made it into production. googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/…

If you're practicing activism, I understand using Twitter right now. If you're doing business, I get it. But social stuff? That feels increasingly off to me.

Actually, scratch all that, Linda says this place is cool. I can put my pitchfork down. xitter.cf/lindayaX/status/172525…
X’s point of view has always been very clear that discrimination by everyone should STOP across the board -- I think that's something we can and should all agree on. When it comes to this platform -- X has also been extremely clear about our efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination. There's no place for it anywhere in the world -- it's ugly and wrong. Full stop.
