This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

So Blanche says the DOJ is "not moving forward" with the weaponization fund but is steadfastly refusing to put "anything in writing." This is a "trust us" ploy from the least trustworthy administration in American history.

I recently learned about a tool called CloudBurn that detects cost-related mistakes in AWS setups. I wanted to see if I could use it to detect problems automatically in a local environment to find cost regressions in IaC before you deploy. Here's how it works: blog.localstack.cloud/managing-clo...

If you're traveling this summer beware. The scams this article describes happened to me in Spain and, because they have real reservation details including the price, they are very realistic. I was nearly fooled. www.wired.com/story/hundre...

I’m trying not to pay too much attention to the dumpster fire in tech right now. But man Webflow wtf. They laid people off without notice apparently, just locked them out of their computers. The CEO same day proudly announces an AI pivot

Ray's the best. Hire him!

It's darkly funny to watch a handful of Republicans, many of whom are on their way out the door, suddenly showing up to the five-alarm democracy fire they helped set with a bucket of water.

Oh this is delightful. Let's start with SpaceX's violation of 17 CFR § 229.504 (Item 504). Their "use of proceeds" neglects to mention they are contractually obligated to use the first $20 billion from it to pay off a bridge loan. This is also while their quarterly cash burn exceeds $8 billion. /1

You literally need to check the date/time on these stories because he's pulled the same scam every single week. I assume the journalist just copy/pastes the whole thing (as well as the next article noting that Iran has agreed to nothing and, in fact, no talks exist).

I think this is about my wife and our birdfeed...err..I mean squirrelfeeders.

Planned Parenthood's Melanie Newman: "When the people in power substitute their beliefs for our rights, that is tyranny ... we now have judges who are more interested in imposing their ideology than following the law ... our rights are not up for debate."

He's just gotta finalize that better healthcare plan he's been working on first. 🤣

The movie cost Amazon $75 million and it made $16.3 million at the box office, plummeting 67% in its second weekend after all the MAGA fans already made their pilgrimage to see it. Meanwhile, in this same interview, Bezos insists that the Washington Post must be profitable.

This is a break-glass emergency. It's bad enough they gave two billion of our tax dollars to pay off insurrectionists and white supremacist pedophiles, but now they're also exempting Trump from audits as part of the fake settlement.

I'd love for you to give DevRel(ish) a try for managing your tech-focused community for free, but I get that folks may find moving difficult. That's why last night I built an importer that let's you pull in your upcoming events on Meetup directly into the site. Give it a shot: devrelish.tech

Trump gets: - $100M arch - $1B ballroom fund - A gold coin with his face on it - A $1.8B slush fund for his MAGA buddies Meanwhile, he's left Americans with higher grocery bills, higher health care costs, and higher gas prices.

A profile in courage.

Of course. This was an obvious lie. It gets reported as fact not because the media believe it (they are smart enough people after all), and not because they want to sanewash him (though they do it anyway) but because reporting his lies is good business.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Big update to DevRel(ish) this past weekend to make it even better for organizers. You can now add speakers and sessions to a gathering for folks organizing more speaker-centric events. I've got a ton more plans to truly empower organizers in the community work they do. devrelish.tech

Of the many corrupt and sickening things we have become accustomed to seeing every day, this is arguably the most corrupt and sickening. A $1.77B slush fund for people who attempted to destroy our democracy funded by taxpayers.

Can we finally dispense of the liberal institutions myth? The past decade has shown that while a majority of workers at a university/company/etc may lean left, wealthy leadership do not. At best when tight labor markets or politics required they gave lip service to issues they never cared about.

"Y'all are in a death spiral. That's why you have to redistrict. That's why you have to cheat." Watch this man.

Do you run a local tech community (or do you want to)? Want to avoid a couple hundred dollars in meetup fees just to do this. I built a completely free site for managing local tech community events. Check it out here: devrelish.tech

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

The rule appears to be that redistricting is always legal when it benefits Republicans and never legal when it benefits Democrats.

84 TanStack npm package artifacts were compromised in the ongoing Mini Shai-Hulud supply chain attack, adding suspected CI credential-stealing malware. Socket flagged every malicious version within six minutes of publication. Details: socket.dev/blog/tanstac...

It is rather shocking how this phishing scam is using tools built into WhatsApp to seem legit. Sadly it appears the details of my hotel reservation were accessed (though hotel never notified me until I reported this), making it even more convincing. Watch out.

I’m sure it comes as no surprise to anyone that Trump didn’t make a single post about mothers on Mother’s Day while making a series of posts about how great he is.

"I supported the Emperor because I thought he’d learned from the Clone Wars. I thought this time would be different. But now there’s this constant vibration I can feel deep in my bones."

As someone who has a son that has struggled with a severe addiction to Kratom and 7-OH, I'm grateful to @lastweektonight.com for shining a light on a serious problem. youtu.be/mRZqHzDG_c8?...

Virginia Supreme Court declaring Democratic gerrymandering illegal while Republicans are literally wrapping themselves in Trump flags while disenfranchising black southerners is the most on brand moment for the modern USA.

In a clear indication of how broken our system is, courts have consistently upheld gerrymandered maps done by legislatures without voter approval that benefit Republicans and struck down voter-approved maps that benefit Democrats.

“.. Tech sector announced 33,361 job cuts in April…year-to-date total now at 85,411 and highest since 2023.” - Schwab #Challenger

I'm not gonna argue that AI isn't offering real productivity gains in specific areas, but do companies not realize their competitors have access to the same models they do? You lay off tons of talent & replace it with the same AI model that your competitor is using. What's the competitive advantage?

Imagine being able to run this "peace deal" scam every single week and the media and markets responding dutifully each time. Even the MAGA grifters with their perfectly timed market bets probably can't believe it.

This post is ostensibly about a single investor conference but, as it makes clear, that conference is emblematic of the state of a world run by complacent billionaires. prospect.org/2026/05/05/c...

This is a damn good screen capture/annotation tool for Mac - that's free and open source: getgrabbit.app

🧵 Senate Republicans just released their Homeland Security budget for the next reconciliation bill. Not only does it include more than $34 BILLION in additional funding for ICE and CPB; it also sets aside a cool $1 billion for… …wait for it… TRUMP’S BALLROOM! This is absolute insanity. (1/3)

If you're doing the hard work of community organizing, you shouldn't be burdened with hundreds of $$$ in subscription fees too. I created a easy to use site for folks in tech to organize professional gatherings that has just the features you need – & it's free! Help spread the word. devrelish.tech

If it's true that we all finally agree that The Rise of Skywalker was absolute garbage, then maybe there's still hope for humanity. I kid (a bit) but for years I had many a Star Wars fan insisting to me that it was far better than TLJ. I nearly walked out the theater. www.polygon.com/star-wars-se...

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

No idea if it's related but I was looking into a flight on a route Spirit flew and the cost jumped $900 on JetBlue after this was first announced.

Trump is famously a business man and he's leading the country with the same business savvy that he led his Atlantic City casinos.

Lets be clear. This is about stealing an election, this time, with SCOTUS on their side. House Speaker says, “you’ve got to keep the grown ups in charge.” GOP doesnt care what the voters want. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

What, wut?!? I'm not a lawyer but typically you charge people for a crime you believe and have proof that they did, not for one that it "wouldn't surprise you" that they did.

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservative court basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans. An absolutely mockery of the law and a stain on the court.

Another situation in which the presumption of regularity regarding the government is leading to unfair consequences for those outside the government.
