Created a BlueSky ‘Starter Pack’ of good people from the PostcardFromHell music community - an email-based social network I’ve been running since 1994. One of the oldest, still-vibrant communities around, and still running on email like God intended.

I feel this in my bones. And that support ticket, with escalation, will sit for at least a week, and then they’ll ask for screenshots and logs you already sent the first time.

NASA pays $100M for Microsoft 365 licensing across the agency. They standardized every system on Microsoft. They put Microsoft Surfaces on the Orion spacecraft as the crew's personal computing devices.

And the first technical crisis of humanity's return to the Moon was Reid Wiseman radioing Houston to say he has two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one works.

Mission Control's response? "With your go, we can remote in and take a look." The same exact workflow your company's IT helpdesk uses when you submit a ticket on a Monday morning. Except the user is traveling at 4,275 mph, 30,000 miles from Earth, and the Wi-Fi situation is considerably worse.

This spacecraft survived hydrogen leaks, helium leaks, a faulty heat shield, and a broken toilet. Outlook broke anyway. The toilet actually got fixed faster.

The real story here is that Microsoft has achieved something no other software company in history can claim: a support ticket from lunar transit. Their enterprise sales team should frame this. "Battle-tested in space" is a positioning statement most B2B companies would mass murder for, and Microsoft accidentally earned it because Outlook crashes everywhere, including orbit.

Outlook remains the only software in human history that performs identically whether you're in a cubicle in Redmond or aboard a spacecraft bound for the Moon. Universally, reliably broken. And we keep buying it anyway.

@rachbarnhart We’d been here many times - the quality has gone pretty dramatically downhill, to the point where a year ago we took it off our list. Used to have great food, and a great location. Hopefully someone else comes in and makes better use of that beautiful space.

This is the most impressive regular season win of the McDermott era.

Ignore the score. The #Bills hammered Detroit. In their house. At their own game.
Buffalo owned the line of scrimmage.
All game long.

And Josh Allen embarrassed a pretty good defense. Incredible

Trump hasn't named a Secretary of Education yet because he can't find anyone in his inner circle who is allowed to get within 200 yards of a school

Whether it's Tim Walz expanding his state's school lunch program or Matt Gaetz giving cocaine and Ecstasy to underage sex workers, both sides have taken controversial approaches towards feeding children.

[noah kulwin @nkulw]

Trump still has the sauce. No one else could have made picks like these. Every selection is like drafting a kicker in the first round but the kicker has a Wikipedia section titled Allegations and is also not really a kicker

[Medium Dave @ddewey]

The greatest. Way to go out with a win.
