I know unpopular Presidents start wars to distract from domestic challenges (like the Epstein files), but declaring war on the United States is a new one

I have a friend who joined the US Navy because he was inspired by his faith as a Norse Pagan. In that embarrassing speech today the Secretary of Defense took a cheap shot, and was exactly wrong. The religious diversity of America isn’t a punchline: it is the core of our nation.

"There are," the swordmaster said with emphasis on every word, "many problems that can not be solved with a sword." "Yes, but if you do attempt to solve them with a sword," the former student said, "you will get new problems, which can be solved with a sword." "Yes. That's why they sent for me."

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign. "If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard. www.rawstory.com/trump-milita...

ICE should not exist.

The article is in Norwegian… The Norwegian Church will make an official apology to the LGBTQA+ community for the harm done over the years. The press is invited on the 16th of October in London Pub (which I find funny), followed by a church service. Go church kommunikasjon.ntb.no/pressemeldin...

Towns and cities in Massachusetts’ sixth district are taking steps to undo failed zoning policy and address housing affordability. The federal government should be supporting this work, not kicking families out into the street.

Tim Berners-Lee is a pioneer, and here he is exactly right: www.theguardian.com/technology/2... A future where technology works for us instead of billionaires is worth fighting for. That’s why I am running for Congress. bethfordemocracy.com

America can have universal healthcare that includes: * dental care * abortions * gender-affirming care * GLP-1 agonists * hearing aids We just have to decide to do it.

A nice little refactoring series. Tiny steps. Looking Around(Sep 28, 2025)With four components in place, let's look at the code and see how it can be improved. https://ronjeffries.com/articles/-w025/y/h/ Continuous Improvement(Sep 29, 2025)Let's see what else we can improve in our four […]

Being more in the details doesn't automatically imply better. At different points we need to be more or less in the details. That's a question I challenge myself with every day, and I'm lucky to get great feedback from those around me. 2/2

Everybody jokes about architects who are disconnected from the details and don't code much. But the opposite problem is just as common: being so in the details that they cannot contribute as much to broader initiatives. 1/2

59 House Democrats have signed on to Congressman Ro Khanna's letter calling for official recognition of Palestinian statehood. Seth Moulton didn't. The Massachusetts 6th District deserves a Representative who will block the bombs instead of arming the genocide in Gaza.

I am horrified by the attack in Grand Blanc. No one should face violence for practicing their faith. My heart is with my LDS friends and neighbors today. It is time for effective gun laws that protect our children and our congregations.

DHH is an embarrassment of a human being and should’ve been chased out of this industry and his entire community years ago for being the toxic missing stair that he is. His presence provides no benefit to anyone.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Tylenol and painkillers do not cause autism… don’t believe me, believe the scientists who does proper research on this youtu.be/42gqLIDpYR0?...

Donald Trump is lying. I was at the ICE facility two days ago and saw a few peaceful protesters, not a “siege.”

I am in Portland almost every day and in no way is it “War ravaged.” We do not want or need federal troops in Portland. The Trump administration is using lies and delusions  to try to justify turning the military against US citizens. It’s illegal, dangerous, and outrageous.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Quick question for musicians out there. If your music was played on an online radio station without you submitting uour music but that music had been bought from Bandcamp, Ampwall or iTunes would you be unhappy? There is music out there that I woild like to play but too many people to contact…

Living the phrase ‘workslop’. That’s a really useful way to think about it :)

If that’s the job he actually wants, he should have the guts to go for it. I’m running for Congress to represent the 6th District, not as a stepping stone. We deserve more than being a career politician’s consolation prize.

Trump’s “border czar” accepting bribes is gross: www.reuters.com/world/us/tru... Republicans excusing the bribes is even worse. Corruption is un-American. If Trump’s FBI won’t do their job, Congress can and should step up.

The H1B rules Trump announced make the program worse. They will hurt workers and our economy, all so the government can collect more bribes. Congress needs to act. Our laws should be on the side of workers, wherever we were born.

Kimmel coming back shows that when we work together, we are more powerful than fascism. We will keep doing that.
