Women of Texas and the partners, parents and siblings who love them - I fear for you. Rise up, demand change, make good trouble. Vote at the ballot box, with your wallet, and if necessary, with your feet. Everyone else with a womb watch out - the GOP is coming for you next.

UPDATE: BREAKING: The Texas Supreme Court ruled against Kate Cox, who asked for an abortion due to medical exceptions. “These laws reflect the policy choice that the Legislature has made, and the courts must respect that choice,” the court’s opinion reads. txcourts.gov/media/1457645/2…

Earlier this year, some #AWS developers created an internal tool for Amazonians to experiment with Foundation Models from Amazon Bedrock, and it quickly became a word-of-mouth hit across AWS. Because the interface only required a user to add in a description of the app they wanted to build in a prompt box, the tool could be used by teammates across a wide spectrum of roles and technical expertise. Some built apps for productivity, while others made ones for amusement, or that tapped into personal passions. It was cool to see builders get inspired by using generative AI in a more hands on way, and by sharing their apps with each other, they were actually sharing key generative AI techniques in action. Based on the popularity and feedback, we launched this simple to use but powerful app to the world for free, naming it PartyRock (in reference to it being a fun and collaborative way to experience Amazon Bedrock). It is built on the belief that everyone should have access to a fun and easy tool to help get started with generative AI. Since launching it last week, tens of thousands of apps have been built and shared, and the creativity has been really cool to see (including apps to organize your re:Invent schedule, plan a Formula 1 trip, and find the best coffee in Vegas). I encourage you to give it a try and see what you can build! PartyRock: partyrock.aws/

The scale and cost of the multi-nation rescue/recovery of a 5-person private submersible is likely unprecedented and certainly unjustified. I must assume all of these resources, people, & energy were deployed so navies could play Hero and justify their investment in all that kit

Marvelous view of the Big Blue Bear at the convention center with the mountains in the distance. I’ve had two customer meetings, attended a session and have seen some friends in my first 4 hours in town. This is already a great #EDU22
EDUCAUSE 2022 here I come! Hope to see lots of friends and colleagues in the mile high city! Stop by the AWS booth to say hello. #EDU22
That awkward moment when the chatbot one has been engaging with reveals itself to be a poorly trained human respondent rather than a poorly programmed bot.

I am mesmerized by the beauty of this plot of ocean currents around Antarctica.

Newly released IRS data show DC pays more federal taxes than 23 states and more federal taxes per capita than any state. ‘No taxation without representation,’ the slogan that gave birth to the nation itself, should apply to the residents of the nation’s capital. #DCStatehood

Flag Day is a good reminder that no American loses anything by adding a star. 700,000 DC residents would gain full citizenship. #DCStatehood now! Share your pics today of your 51 star flag or DC flag with #DCStatehood

Reminded yet again that Washington DC is not a state thanks to this incomplete, yet required drop-down menu. #dcstatehoodNOW #taxationWithouRepresentation
