A good primer from @MightyHeaton on gerrymandering.
This video may help everyone on the beach in Treasure Island or on their ranch 80 miles away in Wauchula figure out what happened to their now-shared Florida CD16.
PS: Vote @KellyKirschner for CD16!

I've been having so much fun at work catching up on all the latest front-end tech that I missed out on the past decade. Focusing on front-end testing was nice, but my heart was really in the UI space. Front-end testing is still an important part of my job, just not all of it
Interested to try this out...
I’ve been working on something new: aiforui.dev/
AI for UI has 28 skills and 20 lessons on building great interfaces with AI.
More than 3,000 people have enrolled so far. It’s $299 instead of $399 until early access closes on Friday.
The full course opens in 2027.

I listened to the latest @syntaxfm podcast episode with @wesbos about the new Adobe clones and I have some thoughts

So I have a new reason to continue using Firefox.
We still have perfectly working iMacs from 2012 - my parents use it - but they can't be upgraded past MacOS 10 Catalina, and the Chrome and Safari browsers stopped supporting the older MacOS versions.
But not Firefox! Good ol' Firefox still delivers the latest updates to our old machines.
Tis the only browser I can use to ensure my parents are browsing safely. 😄
I tried ordering a dishwasher through @BestBuy and it has turned into a comedy of technical issues.
They completely lied about the installation date, and when I called about it, the support guy said, "well, you can wait for an unknown amount of time, or just cancel the order"
"The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life."
— Derek Walcott, "Love After Love"

it should tell you something that the most bleeding edge ai-pilled technologists are not letting AI write for them
i love writing. i never let agents write for me. whether it's docs, or tweets, or shitposts, or even prompts (okay maybe that one's harder as agents manage other agents)
there's a simple reason for that: i still strongly believe that writing is thinking. it's a skill i hope to never give up. it's also important to me that whatever i say is always authentic, mistakes and all. my favorite posts are the ones that i just full send without any editing
i suspect it also helps with prompting. being able to clearly express what i want, and knowing the vocabulary i need to be able to direct my agents does seem to make for more effective usage of agents. in the same way that engineers have an advantage when we prompt agents to write code, because we are intimately familiar with the words that make up the discipline
knowing the right word incantations to get an agent to produce a desired goal almost feels like spellcasting. as models get more capable, and that input box looks more and more like a magic box that can output anything, words become the interface between you and the genie
there may come a time when we give up the keyboard in exchange for brain-computer interfaces. but until then, i'm writing every word.

No. Searches turn up no named engineer, interview, or record matching the age-62 Shuttle veteran, ankle-weights line, 18-hour Raptor part, or “I got faster” quote. The post cites none.
Documented NASA alumni at SpaceX, such as Garrett Reisman, do describe far shorter idea-to-test cycles and less process. The exact tale remains unverified.
