ADHD is wild, I just caught myself getting distracted by the ticking of an analog clock that exists solely and entirely within the confines of my mind

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

I do love the way @scott.is speaks (or, in this case, writes). It's cathartic to see someone be reasonable and "professional" without being stuffy and corporate. I mean how often to you see high quality writing that isn't afraid to use the fuck word? Love his work <3

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

The fact that your brain makes certain things hard for you to do doesn't entitle you to an underclass of indentured servants doing those things for you. Those people also need to eat!

put a lil typography token tester/playground together as a @penpot.app community library and recorded a lil walkthrough. if you like nice type and playing with modular scales you should have a lil look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mXS...

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

Last year, we launched a web app to assist trans people with legal name changes. Today, we’re removing the login wall and registration requirements and making everything publicly accessible.

Remember: LLMs and bots and AI-generated things should always be called ‘it’. Regardless of the style or tone of voice, there is only an ‘it’ there. Don’t humanize it.

So excited to have picked up my first electric guitar. It's not the best in the world, it needs some work and to be cleaned, but it was $30 and seems to be in decent condition :)

Apple is real quick to remove tracking apps warning people ICE is around but still hasn’t removed CSAM app X. Just in case you need more evidence that Big Tech fully supports this regime.

Seeing people in software dev who, a minute ago were talking about ethics, accessibility and sustainability, disregard the unethical nature of the tech and switch to using LLMs tells you everything you need to know about why the software industry continuously enables horrible things

I edited this meme myself

No one is expecting you to be an illustrator or to hire an artist for that article cover image. A stock photo, a bunch of shapes, or even ✨nothing at all✨ would have been better than that piss tinted AI slop.

Libraries get me emotional man. What do you mean I get to use all this for free? Legit utopian.

The Doomsday Clock, a symbol of how close humanity is to destroying itself, has moved from 89 seconds to 85 seconds , four seconds closer to “doomsday.” That is the closest the Clock has ever been to midnight. That’s when, in the metaphor proposed by the keepers

fwiw I don't think it is possible to build genAI in such a way that it benefits workers rather than capital because it is fundamentally based on non consensual extraction of labour to get going. what would it actually mean for the workers to own the means of production here

My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website. accessibilityforeveryone.site The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Break their hearts Break their spirits Break their backs

Just a polite reminder that there's only one week left of the @piccalil.li 15% winter discount event! - @wil.to's JavaScript for Everyone course - @scott.is’ Mindful Design course - My Complete CSS course piccalil.li/courses/

The murder of Alex Pretti is now seen in at least 5 videos. The incident unfolded over less than a minute. One agent instigated. One shot. Pretti held only a camera. He had a gun is his waistband, but never touched. it. The shooter saw him get disarmed, then shot him in the back, point blank. 1/

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

the function of a system is what it does. fuck ICE, and additionally fuck the spineless controlled opposition party that enables the death squads while tweeting big talk

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

I built a color extraction tool because most of them kept giving me beige. This is OKPalette. It adapts to the image before picking colors. Also: first time I ever tried recording myself. This is the least terrible attempt 😅👇 okpalette.color.pizza youtu.be/qkZlgJLGKI4

I think people underestimate how big this is. Like a city-wide strike is not something that has happened in the US for nearly 100 years

Build your own tooling! SaaS replacements, web apps, CLIs, or whatever else. Even if you move back to something somebody else made, you can still learn shit and have fun doing it :)

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Not gonna unnecessarily rush myself bc fuck that, but I'm so excited to get through Mindful Design so I can get on with making myself a personal website

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

I wrote something because I an angry. #imagine letorey.co.uk/leets/imagine/

This is incredibly well written and describes so well why I detest LLMs in programming

The #Tailwind / #LLM discussion this week, motivated me to write this plea for slow programming. In honour of Niklaus Wirth. Cc @kevinpowell.co. nwinos.blogspot.com/2026/01/slow...

I don't want better training for ice, I want ice to go away forever, and I want us all to feel ashamed about the concept of immigration enforcement. what a terrible fucking way to build a society. what a fundamentally violent idea. abolish the whole thing.

🙂

fuck ice. fuck cops. fuck colonialism and capitalism. fuck the transphobes and the bigots and the people who use their religion as a weapon and a boot on our necks. fuck everyone who tells us that is impossible to build a world where we are all free and fed and housed and loved.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

What the fuck. What the fuck is even happening. Fuck these people, fuck Elon, and fuck AI

Today's album was Superorganism's self-titled debut. It was nothing like I could have ever expected, but I still liked it. I especially like how textured it feels
