This could easily be a Philly story. I’m not holding my breath, but maybe the changes our Chief Sloganier started in L&I will help. https://mastodon.social/@taylorlorenz/112491337799387787

@stux to make it easy to build, we should make a mold so we can stamp them out quickly. A master mold, if you will.

Prediction: Nikki Haley will try to justify her endorsement of Trump by claiming that she’s not “endorsing” him, she’s just voting for him.

This will be her defense on one of the Sunday morning talking head shows. She’ll try going down a rabbit hole about the distinction.

kyleejohnson,
@kyleejohnson@jawns.club avatar

@charlesgaba yup. If she didn’t want to endorse him, she could have just said not one thing about who she’s voting for. But she needs the rabid base to understand she is one of them for the next election. Assuming there is a next election and that Trump won’t run again. Fascist gonna fascist.

So anyway, government types talk a lot about modernization, and they always mean tech. And that's cool and all, but if government doesn't also modernize its approach to tech, its relationship with tech, and its understanding of tech, it's really all for naught.

Those shitty approaches, relationships, and understanding are what got us into this situation where government tech sucks, and no amount of purely tech modernization is going to help on its own. That's just a bandaid over cancer.

@JeanEvergreen @RamenCatholic absolutely. If for no other reason than the dude in the lower left looks like Trump (too long red tie and all), and any game where he gets eaten by a monster is a keeper.

@Sheril Architecture. I ended up working in the theater on the technical side for awhile before ending up back in IT, but to this day I enjoy any project where I can read a set of plans and think about the visual impact of design.

@stux I feel like Pickle Rick would shoot nuclear pickle juice. I was thinking just regular pickle juice, but I think the nuclear part explains why it's red and not green.

I’m going to need to do ALL the binge watching after surgery next week.

Since I’ll probably be a little foggy headed the first day or two, things that don’t require you to follow a plot super closely would be extra great!

Please drop your recommendations!

@aronow I think The Good Place would be great for this. You almost don’t need to oay attention the first season, but you’ll want to be less foggy for subsequent seasons.

I really want Philly elected officials to get behind this kind of thinking on how to streamline the permitting for this kind of stuff. Hopefully, "safer, cleaner, greener" is more than just a campaign slogan.

@acm_redfox Who knows exactly. This admin seems very opaque when it comes to communicating to the public what they're planning to do, and the City budget is complex enough that it's hard to tell sometimes what is and is not getting funding.

@jackbrewster @cat_news We have one that comes into the bedroom, confirms we are both in bed, and then goes into the kitchen and howls like someone is killing him. It's even weirder because we feed the cats from an auto-feeder that is not in the kitchen, so it's not like he's bitching that he's hungry.

Good morning fedi friends!

SO excited to get home - my social battery is at 1% after yesterday 🪫

What are you up to ?

@aronow Today I must finish a book I checked out from the library because it's due tomorrow. Good news - I only have 100 pages left. I’m also packing for our SCUBA trip to Roatan, Honduras in a week. We don't normally pack this early, but last year one of our dive bags got delayed, so we were without some gear the first couple days. This is a new pack with an extra carry on with the most critical gear we need to dive, and I need time to test the weight of all the bags.
