ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton.
she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back.

@kameronhurley.comReposted by @sarahpinsker.bsky.socialYES. I was just thinking about how many useful ideas and real solutions AREN'T being funded - or even THOUGHT UP - because the money and attention is being sucked into tulip bulbs. You've got kids who might have figured out cold fusion spending all their time building AI video apps.
@sarahpinsker.bsky.socialQuick pastel of my dogs
@sarahpinsker.bsky.socialOh, I just woke up and misread "sell my video games on eBay" as selling this one to fund the tokens for the next
@sarahpinsker.bsky.socialWhy does this person think he would make any money on this sad egotistical failure of imagination when the people he plans on selling it to can do exactly the same thing for themselves?
@bugsmaytrix.bsky.socialReposted by @sarahpinsker.bsky.socialmaybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

@sarahpinsker.bsky.socialMy hat is always off to you and your team. It was such a random dream, though. There was a spinning wheel and it landed on BCS. I don't know what the other options were.
@sarahpinsker.bsky.socialOof.
@sarahpinsker.bsky.socialI think we've got this.
@sarahpinsker.bsky.socialCollaborative. I'm pretty sure.
@sarahpinsker.bsky.socialI just remembered that last night I dreamed that @louisevans.bsky.social and I were on some kind of dropouttv type show but the challenge was to guest edit an issue of @bcsmagazine.bsky.social . Not sure how they made that into good tv but that's not my job.

Help if u can
@sarahpinsker.bsky.socialThere are contractors in the basement so I'm trying to edit with a forty pound lap dog on my left hand.
@brandonfriedman.bsky.socialReposted by @sarahpinsker.bsky.socialLafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

@propublica.orgReposted by @sarahpinsker.bsky.social2/ Federal agents have detained at least 70 children and teens who are American citizens. Some were handcuffed or zip-tied. In one instance, a 15-year-old with disabilities was handcuffed outside a school in Los Angeles when agents mistook him for an alleged gang member.
@propublica.orgReposted by @sarahpinsker.bsky.socialThe government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️
