US foreign policy news in 2026:

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

There should be some kind of punishment for apps that use notifications for growth hacking.

The buzzword of the week is "Ralph Mode".

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

Please enjoy this photo I took of Wily at the beach today.

My husband and I are both on Verizon but he's had no signal all day and I have full bars. What did they do? This is such a strange way to have an outage.

January 14th, 2026: Microsoft has finally realized I am still in the escalation chain for npm's AWS account and removed me.

Remember kids: once a post hits 250 reactions, you mute it. After that it's just people repeating the same things or totally misunderstanding what you said. No good comes of it.

Trumpism has permanently shattered my belief that voters know what is best for them, and thus my faith in the entire foundation of democracy. What do you do when you can't trust people not to punch the self-destruct button?

You got 1 minute and 14 seconds of extra daylight today, which means you've added 10 minutes in the last 10 days! Sunset ticked forward to 5.13pm!

I once dated a vegetarian who broke up with me over the noises I made when eating prosciutto.

Some people are so evil I will publicly celebrate when they die, others just evil enough that I will do so in the group chat.

Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll: 46% support abolishing ICE 43% oppose abolishing ICE This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support

My kingdom for some precedented times.

Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump. Free Palestine.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.

Anybody using the phrase "banana republic" to describe a political situation should be first required to write a 4-paragraph essay about the modern history of Central America and how it applies to the situation they are describing.

I dunno if X generating sexual abuse images is really going to be the final straw for anybody who was fine with nazis.

Why is everyone doing wild mushroom picking this year, did I miss a memo?

California State Senator Scott Weiner, who is running for Nancy Pelosi’s seat and is Jewish, was slammed last week when he declined to state — yes or no — whether Israel was committing a genocide in Gaza. He now says that, yes, he believes Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza.

I'm usually against bumper stickers but this person has really assembled a well curated selection.

Why does anyone work at Amazon? www.businessinsider.com/amazon-flags...

Every month GitHub faithfully emails me to let me know that my free access to GitHub copilot -- a service I have never used and don't have a clear idea of what it does -- has been renewed. I do not know why they give me free access and I'm too afraid to ask.

Driving in the Mission is a great ad for why humans should not be allowed to drive and replaced by robots. These people do not know what they are doing.

It's a milestone day! Today we added more than a minute of daylight in a single day -- in fact it was 1 minute and 2 seconds. At that kind of speed the minutes start racking up quickly! Sunset moved forward to 5.09pm.

Could everyone please stop posting video of somebody getting shot please and thank you.

All of my social media apps are wall to wall gay hockey show except this one so I'm here to correct that.

Always say thank you to the robot.

Sunset uppies.

Just remembered somebody I knew who went all-in on running a DAO. Remember DAOs? No, nor does anyone else.

These people are all fucking fascists.

Stupid Canadian wolf bird.

Everything is so dumb.

Statement from she who should have been our President.

What the fuck is it we even want Venezuela to do. Is it sell us oil? Has the US declared the aims of this staggeringly illegal war? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

What is the difference between a) a large powerful country taking over a smaller one by force and b) a large powerful country taking over a smaller one by force? If you said nothing, then congratulations! Russia invading Ukraine and USA invading Venezuela are the same!

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.

I hope the budget for season 2 of the gay hockey show is like a billion dollars and they give it all to the costars.

The US has openly declared that it can steal other countries and run them itself and the world should unite against this aggression.

Maybe he doesn't understand how Peace Prizes are supposed to work www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Folks I know you're sad about it but CBS News died the moment Bari Weiss was put in charge. Further "can you believe they're doing X?" posts serve no purpose.

Today I worked out that Brandi Carlile and Belinda Carlisle are two different people.

Back in SF which is not looking its best, one has to admit, under a blanket of cloud and rain.

I'm watching an episode of Stranger Things over @jovo.design's shoulder on a plane and every time David Harbour's on screen I expect Lily Allen to burst in and start wailing on him.

Another Barbados trip on the books.
