Trump to the press: I will crush you like the bugs you are.

Journalists: Haha there goes Trump again.

Biden: I'm incredibly disappointed in your coverage:

Journalists: How dare you? Resign immediately, you ungrateful pathetic SOB.

About that traumatic life-threatening ear injury ....

Save your screeds. Save your online yelling about any of it.

The Supreme Court has given themselves the power to make policy decisions that supersede the experts at federal agencies and the elected members of Congress. And thereโ€™s no doubt the MAGA SCOTUS will wield that power to roll back our rights even further. We cannot allow this power grab to go unchecked. Congress must uphold our Constitution and fight back by instituting structural reforms โ€” including expanding the Court โ€” to unrig the court and rein in the MAGA supermajority.

Analysis: We researched how many convicted felons had been elected President of the United States: the answer may surprise you.

Itโ€™s zero. The answer is zero.

When your boss describes his perfect work-life balance as working 15-16 hours a day, it's definitely time to start looking for a new role.

The astronauts aboard the ISS were amazed by the April 8 solar eclipse, just like the rest of us, and went crazy snapping photos from orbit.

They got some amazing views of the Moon's shadow sweeping across southern Canada & Maine, seen from 420 km (261 miles) above: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/with/53645140833 #space #eclipse #space #astronomy

My company has just announced that there will be a round of layoffs soon. They just laid off a bunch of C-levels. They're giving us the opportunity to "opt in" to "workforce reduction" with a promise of three months severance.

It's been pretty tumultuous here, lately, to be honest, and I'm considering it.

But, I've got a wife and four kids to take care of, and I've never willingly left a job when I didn't have another one already lined up. And we've got good benefits (healthcare and dental) right now, so I really don't want to give that up.

Maybe if I had something lined up with similar pay and benefits, I could do it.

So, I'm looking for any recommendations. I'm a #PHP developer (of roughly twenty years), who has been doing a lot of #golang for the past year, and I've gotten very proficient at that as well.

I'm looking for a US-based company, and a Principal/Staff/Senior Developer role.

Anybody have any good leads? My website is at https://danielrayjones.com, and I can be emailed at [email protected].
