      This kind of thing is what I hoped Starmer / Rayner would bring to British politics. Fingers crossed for Burnham. 

Small acts like this are how you win the popular vote.

      This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

      This has finally been fixed! It was a bug (not a feature), and now you can share across all the things!

cc @patak.cat and @brittanyellich.com and @danielroe.dev and all the other lovely people who have reached out in the past about this 😍

      Who do we need to lobby to to make @github.com add a "Post on Bluesky" button here?

      Finally got around to tweaking my webcam & key lights whilst the wee man was sleeping. 

Now I just need someone that is handy with lighting to tell me everywhere I’m going wrong. 

Feedback welcomed!

      Interesting trend:

CTO/ Head of Eng / VPE folks at startups and mid-sized companies are... leaving / burning out. Hiring for these roles is HARD, but even after filling the role, they will often leave a few months later and take a career break

And they have v good reasons
