      What an absolutely amazing opportunity from @sdforg.bsky.social and the interim computer museum. If you are in or around the Seattle area, this is a extraordinary opportunity to build a PDP 11 simulator with a group of like-minded folks over two caffeinated days icm.museum/blog/?p=446

      I have a bunch of AG Grid components in @storybook.js.org
      
      Should I create a decorator that inits the grid modules on each story that renders an ag grid component, or initialise them once in the root preview.ts?

      I didnโ€™t realize what the issue was because I was quickly scanning the diagram. Then I started reading the text. Wow.

      Probably unpopular opinion: if Frey becoming a senator means we get a Mayor Payne, fuck it, go for it. He canโ€™t be worse than Klobuchar and he gets to go away
