A mentally ill man invaded my home, and the cops took two days to show up. But who was the victim? And who is to blame? https://t.co/e7YPDHK0yb

6 cases out of 7 million people. What a disaster. This is going to get people killed. And it's going to create more vaccine hesitancy. These people don't understand cost-benefit analysis. They keep making mistakes by orders of magnitude.

Web dev friends: any recs for a good, affordable QA/testing service provider for WordPress and Drupal projects? Regression, performance, functional, etc. US or Int’l.

Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau was asked about my article about Canada, by hosting Pornhub, inflicting rape videos on the world. PM Trudeau dodged the question. I understand that there are no perfect solutions, but greater concern for addressing the problem would be appropriate.

"Any time you have a research phase, a design phase, a development phase, a testing phase... it should serve as a warning sign that something’s wrong."

“When teams adopt Agile, the first attempts often involve doing the same things you’ve always done, just faster.

This never works out well. You can’t do eight weeks of research in two weeks. Don’t even try.”

So stoked. I can totally see a Now It’s Overhead cover (“Skeleton on Display”) or “Crazy” by Pylon.

The first vaccine comes from Germany, from a company founded by first-generation immigrant families from Turkey. This vaccine is very, very good news.

This morning serves as a good reminder of several things, but most notably, reality is rarely obvious, and in the absence of certainty, treating others well and with kindness is the best we can do.

You built a powerful movement to beat Mitch and fight for justice in KY and across the country. Your voice and perspective are much needed, and I look forward to taking on Mitch with you.
