I have a new op-ed out in The Daily Beast about why Kevin McCarthy is losing the speaker vote so badly, and although I'm a little harsh on him (okay, pretty harsh), I don't think I'm wrong.

Read it here: https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-does-kevin-mccarthy-want-to-be-speaker-at-this-point

Why Does Kevin McCarthy Want to Be Speaker at This Point?

The beleaguered House Republican leader is a resumé in search of a reason.

For the most part, Russia's long-range strikes against critical infrastructure in #Ukraine has been done at the start of the work week to maximize economic harm. But that also means that tonight's out-of-schedule attacks lay bare the motive of this attack too: an attack whose only purpose is terrorizing civilians.

Boasting about your toy collection, treating other people as objects, and living a life free of sacrifice and steeped in hedonism isn't masculinity. It's just being a toddler with adult appetites. It screams emotional immaturity. It's not impressive or worth emulating.

I do not attend New Year parties. I sit at my computer waiting for the stroke of midnight so I can check people’s personal websites to see if they’ve hard coded dates in their footers.

And this is why I’ll die alone.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to post a reply video on Twitter and go to Romanian prison

Next up on my reading list: Eyes of the Void by Adrian Tchaikovsky - @aptshadow - then Cormac McCarthy's two novels from this year. #books

@paolom Check out fly.io - it's a Heroku-like service with a free tier and Docker-based deploy. Not affiliated with them, just like the service (my app is PHP/Laravel backed by MariaDB).

After being away from #PHP for a scary number of years, I recently did a modern #Laravel app. It was a great experience - a far cry from the PHP I remember, which was duct-taped hack jobs "designed" by some barely sentient junior dev (namely, me). Everything I needed to do had an intuitive and well-documented approach. I still prefer static typing (#csharp ❤️) but it was interesting to see how far PHP had come in my absence. #programming

@joncollinsdev Mine often says "O" when I mean "I" because apparently I'm a sixteenth century monk writing a Christmas song
