Evil thing I (47) texted a younger coworker.

“After mowing the yard, my hips and back tightened up. I hope this isn’t that aging thing I hear people in their 30’s complaining about.”

SPD is corrupt.

Defund is apparently bad politics that media will breathlessly cover. But an illegal work slowdown? Not really newsworthy.

Seattle police department in three steps

1) collect outrageous overtime pay without leaving a paper trail.
2) conduct a work slow down while claiming you're overworked and underappreciated
3) lobby the city and state government to prevent legalizing police alternatives for things like event traffic control

I’m sorrry what
Indy's cycling and pedestrian activists are having a big year

This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.

The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.

In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.

The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.

This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.

Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.
