I think the only thing worse than health insurance (in the U.S.) is not having health insurance.

At an in-person conference for the first time since 2019. Feels good so far. If you’re at UXPA 2025 Boston today, keep your eye out for me. I’d love to meet you.

In Massachusetts we have annual vehicle inspections. I used to call it “emissions testing” but there’s a safety assessment too. I brought my EV in for inspection today and the guy said “sorry, you failed emissions testing.” I responded “oh no, is my exhaust rusted out?”

No complaints about the end of this Houston Duke game. What resilience from Houston. Never quit. Belived in their tenacious defense.

I hope a lot people have had the opportunity to listen to at least some of Cory Booker’s speech today. He’s just set the record for longest speech in Congress (24hrs+, without bathroom breaks) and he’s a great storyteller. www.youtube.com/live/rCUK…

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker. Saving a country is complicated. We the people don’t expect Dems or anti-Trump factions to be able to solve this crisis in one fell swoop. What we would like you to do is something. Thanks for standing up.

Musk revolutionized rocket construction by building them like software: make, test, iterate. NASA can’t routinely blow up rockets. When SpaceX ships stop blowing up, humans ride in them.

The fundamental problem DOGE doesn’t understand with government is humans are always on the ship.

Can we stop calling Signal a “commercial texting app”? It’s a highly secure text app that’s made by a well-regarded non-profit solely dedicated to creating a free, secure platform that knows nothing about its users.

It should never be used by the American government for classified anything.

I’d love to know what data Buick has that says “pouring a ton of money into sponsoring March Madness every year is what’s going to sell our cars”.

Can anyone tell me why Marquette is ranked 23rd and 25th in this week’s polls, and UConn who has beaten them twice now, is unranked?

What a brilliant cartoon shared by @dave — let him speak!

Should counties start storing clean training data for future AI training? This piece seems to think so.

This FA Cup match is exasperating. #nufc #htl

We’re still absorbing what has happened. We’re wrestling with what it will mean for ourselves and our families, as well as the impact on our partners and the American people.

But we came to the government to fix things. And we’re not done with this work yet.

If you truly wanted a modern efficient government, you would make the whole government look like 18F. Instead, you see what they’re really up to: www.politico.com/news/2025…

This is a low day in American history. This commenter on Reddit seems to have it figured out.

Our current president has been a source of embarrassment for his whole life, but today may have been the most embarrassing thing an American president has ever done in front of cameras.

Congrats to Diana Taurasi on an incredible basketball career.

We have access to several AI models at work. Some days I’m using them with my work and thinking “wow, this is truly the future!” and then I upload a screenshot of a list of 25 names and ask it to return a plain text list, and I’m shocked at how bad the output is.
