Not that I would expect any less from the incomparable @melissalockard, but this is an A+ subtweet.

So great to finally meet Bryan from @LastDiveBar in person! Thank you for all that you've done for our community -- and for leading us in the #SummerOfBoycott!
The next Oxide and Friends is May 13th, when @ahl and I will joined by molecular biologist Greg Cost to discuss @philipcball's extraordinary book, How Life Works. Read it and bring your comments and questions -- or join just to listen to the discussion! discord.gg/besjcERf?event…
Listening to @bcantrill on 0xide podcast yesterday (oxide.computer/podcasts/oxide…). Around 10:00 in, mentioned @mjasay's article in @InfoWorld bashing OpenTofu, and the conflict of interest there (as MongoDB devrel). Looking at his list of InfoWorld articles…
You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me github.com/microsoft/MS-D…
Latest @oxidecomputer pod on fear, uncertainty, and doubt is available now. Since we recorded it, our two favorite FUD generators—IBM and Hashicorp—have become one! A perfect match! share.transistor.fm/s/bd040547
My Twitter Crush is: @ahl ➡️ infinitytweet.me/secret-crush
My Twitter Interaction Circle ➡️ infinitytweet.me/interaction-ci…
The Oxide Friends have talked about the Hashicorp license change, the emergence of an open source fork of Terraform in OpenTofu, and other open source topics. A few weeks ago both InfoWorld and Hashicorp (independently?) accused OpenTofu of stealing Terraform code—a serious claim…
The tactic used against OpenTofu is as old as upstarts: it's FUD. On today's Oxide and Friends, @ahl and I are going to talk about this latest FUD -- as well as FUD's storied history in our industry. Bring your own examples, and join us today, 5p Pacific! discord.gg/cEEnJhT2?event…

What say you, mes amis Canadiens?
On last night's Oxide and Friends @bcantrill, @sdtuck and I were joined by @OaklandBallers founders @carmelimel and @pmfreedm . Yes, we interviewed a baseball startup! Yes, it was delightful! I can't wait to catch some games this summer! youtu.be/YyLtCyvPRyk
Looks like Stomper is about to be sent down "to work on his plate discipline"
Join this chat at 5pm tomorrow!
I tried to put to paper the inner conflict I have with the A’s coming to Sac. I hope it makes sense. Thx to The Bee for giving me some space. sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/…
This may seem out of left field (ha?), but I see a lot of parallels between the @OaklandBallers and @oxidecomputer -- and I can't wait to have @pmfreedm and @carmelimel on with @ahl, @sdtuck and me on Monday at 5p Pacific; join us! discord.gg/tgmyE2NS?event…

I wonder how many "Las Vegas A's" fans know the significance of Careless Whisper. One? Two?
Yup

#SellTheTeam Las Vegas Aviators @ Sacramento River Cats 4/27/24
I used to do this thing at work where I would urge people to relax, take time off, go on vacation. During all hands, for example, or in public slack channels. I don't do that any more, for the most part. I stopped because managers began privately begging me to.
Sometimes you forget why we are fighting, and then the A's win in the ninth inning, and it's so much fun, and you remember why it's worth it.
@NBCSAthletics Before working for the A's, did she do play by play for golf?
Wanna thank everyone that came out to West Sac last night with LDB. The sea of SELL green was a sight to see! Still can’t believe Major League Baseball will be played in a minor league park, embarrassing! Regardless of that, the staff were great and we had an amazing night…
@geerlingguy @bcantrill @mjasay @InfoWorld This was an exceptional show and that's hard to do with the regularly excellent podcast they produce. I am so excited they are back at it. As for the topic, I await the Linux Foundation response as this could be textbook case.
What a beautiful sight…#Selltheteam #fisherout
The A’s fan event at the River Cats game was the lead story on the 11pm local TV news in Sacramento. Once again, our Oakland A’s fans’ commitment and passion is the most important news of the day.
@ColiseumSewage Great to meet you sewage and thanks so much for being a part of it! You smell so much better than I would have imagined. 💚
Thanks everyone who came out to #SELLMeetsSac. It was a beautiful night for a ballgame. I had a blast being with you. So much has been taken from us, but tonight that feeling of fAnily and simple joy, of pride and friendship, filled my heart. Best fans in Baseball. 💚💛
Hell yeah inside the park home run for Vegas in SAC!
