To the democrats, don't fuck this up. To everyone else, don't forget the GOP was the party in power. They will try to blame someone else and not themselves. They are all complicit in the rampant corruption, destructive foreign policy, and a war of choice they decided not to rein in this "king". They are responsible for the damage to our nation's monuments, the erosion of freedom for all, and a blight on what America stands for. They will sing their sad song and try to turn the page, but they are all guilty of turning their backs on integrity, honor, and duty to the American people. Forgive those who acted nobly but in error, but never forget and never forgive those who betray their own conscience for power and money at the expense of the weak. I will never forget, and I hope America doesn't either.

code The more I use AI to help accelerate coding I get a fear of being disconnected to the work. It’s been a game changer for small dev shops but it also is too easy to just let it do all the work. I fear the atrophy of the basics of coding skills in lieu of focusing on architecture. Writing code is like any other language and exercising that skill is totally different than reading and comprehension. I have to force myself to manually do the code at times to make sure I know what I’m building. It’s too easy to just let it do everything but it comes at a cost.

outdoors We assisted in a recent search and met a BORSTAR HRD pup. This girl was a machine! 7.5 h in the field and she was still wanting more.
