.@JoJoFromJerz and @StephMillerShow I'm think I speak for the vast majority of democrats when I say I wouldn't know Hasan Piker if he walked in my front door right now. But I sure recognize that $3.87/gallon at the pumps here in Raleigh, NC.

With my friend Clause, I created this tool to provide some insight into Share Groups as introduced in @apachekafka 4.0+. Take it for a test drive. Let me know what you think. queuesforkafkaviz.dev/

Like the SoftwareMill tool, this DOES NOT interact with a Kafka cluster. It's only for visualization purposes. When you first load the page, there is a "tour" of the controls. #QueuesForKafka

Pro-tip: In this version it helps to dial the speed back to .5x, or even .25x. That makes the mouse-over functionality to see the status of messages and consumers a lil easier to read. Pause the consumers and producers to see a snapshot of the Share Partition(s).

You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who talks about Augusta and @TheMasters with more passion or love than 2-time champ Ben Crenshaw on @GolfChannel Live From…

Hey @jonkarl where are all of these “follow up questions” when GOP liars like Scalise are tap dancing around you. Then you wanna grill Van Hollen like Matlock? Senate just passed a UNANIMOUS FUNDING BILL that 🍊 🫏 🤡 killed… FFS!!!

For the love of God!!! From someone who has performed at an event there… @CNN please stop calling it the “Trump Kennedy Center.” That’s NOT the name, regardless of what the 🍊 🫏 🤡 smears on the walls.
