Hey folks in BERLIN! I'll be in the area from 8-26 November and would love to give a talk about Event Sourcing to your group, meetup, or company (no charge!). Other than 15-19 Nov (I'll be at Agile Testing Days), let me know and see my travel details at: jittertravel.com
There is no technical reason for self-driving trucks to cross picket lines. Capitalists assume that their money will let them control technology. We don't have to let that be true.
I am glad to see a Senator who wants to make bribery illegal again.
My shortcut for Massachusetts ballot measures: "Which questions do we hate? 3, 5, and 8!"
A duck walks into a bar... 'Got any bread?' 'No.' 'Got any bread?' 'No.' 'Got any bread?' 'No... and if you ask me again I'll nail your beak to the bar.' 'Got any nails?' 'No.' 'Got any bread?'

Hello. Would you like to roll into your weekend with a super chill topic that's not at all existential, me too
ONE WEEK FROM TODAY IS NO KINGS #4 (Details at: nokings.org)
We must turn up in MASSIVE numbers to show the world we don't support this Administration or a criminal president who has enriched himself to an obscene level at the expense of everyday hardworking Americans! #GettingReadyToDump-tRUMP ๐ ๐ฉ ๐
AI is a cyborg technology. The technology is us + the AI. We regulate us + cars. We regulate us + planes. We regulate us + radio transmitters. We can pass laws that make AI work for all of us.

This is un-American. The Department of Homeland Security has not made us safer: it has made us targets.
There is a good bit of work to do after a campaign is done. Closing out accounts, filing the paperwork. Recycling lawn signs into mushroom-themed larp shields.
There is a runaway winner problem when money controls politics. Massachusetts Ballot Measure 3 makes money more powerful in elections. It has $5 MILLION+ supporting making money more important. There is $150,000 against. When dollars get to vote, they vote to give themselves more power.
It's the first #ReverseCasualFriday in October so I want to use the opportunity to remind you that breast cancer can affect everyone, regardless of their gender.
Please check yourself and if anything feels off talk to a doctor ๐
I'm down to the last nine copies of this ISS Cat print, so if you want one, please order soon. It's in my shop along with other prints, badges and a zine: www.tomgauld.com/
Egypt has disappeared six journalists for reporting on the government.
America should not be supporting dictators like Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
If we call these generative tools โsuper intelligenceโ: A. we can keep calling non-generative machine learning โartificial intelligenceโ, distinguishing it from the stuff folks hate B. we can change the definition of โsuperโ to mean โunreliable and mediocreโ, which will make โsuper carโ very funny
One time I wrote up a generative design system for creating novel broths for a friend on a liquid diet. Thatโs souper intelligence.
