PBS once unleashed a funked-up #StevieWonder live on the kids of Sesame Street for a blazing version of #Superstition. Pretty sure around 3:30 Stevie shouts 'Go, Cookie Monster' before going into an extended #SesameStreet jam. 😎

My spicy opinion on agile—pretty much any software development methodology—is that the method is never and has never been the problem. Agile can work. Scrum can work. Waterfall can work.

The problem has always been management and executives and their obsession with command and control tactics. If you don’t fix management, shuffling things around on the dev side won’t matter one jot.

Friends, I need your help. My partner is suffering a sudden medical emergency - on top of chronic #endometriosis, #PCOS, and #LongCOVID, she's just been diagnosed with serious #thyroid and #kidney issues which have weakened her bones, and she's fractured her spine.

She's a #massage #therapist - her life is about healing other people, and now she needs that kind of help.

Interestingly, it also gave me the most succinct answer I've seen!
`tell application "Google Chrome"`
`set activeTab to the active tab of window 1`
`say "The current tab is: " & name of activeTab`
`end tell`

Hi mastodon! With the collapse of twitter I've lost much of my reach for finding clients 😔

I'm a disabled artist & commissions are my primary source of income, and I just contacted the last people on my queue today—which means after I finish their commissions I won't have any further income

If you could share this post or pass my name along to anyone looking to commission people at the moment I'd appreciate it! Thank you ❤️

If you need to be delighted by something this morning, I present the tree goats of Morocco.

I was driving near Essaouira the first time I saw this and literally slammed on my brakes because I thought I was suddenly hallucinating. But then you learn how common it is and after a day or two it's, oh, yeah, more goats in trees.
