Dutch late night TV has its take

Just canceled Disney plus. What direct action can we take to send a message to ABC, Sinclair/Nexstar? I don't subscribe to cable and don't watch TV.

Just a tiny leap from “broadcasters have to use their spectrum in Trump’s interests” to “AT&T and Verizon have to manage content on their wireless networks in Trump’s interests because they operate on public spectrum”

Why is the fabrication of evidence by the federal government not a headlining story? This text message thread is the fakest thing I've seen. The only thing I can think is that the media has been effectively chilled. The government is not a trusted source. Do your job journalists.

👀

Btw very important to say that the FCC has not at all said what Kimmel said that was so objectionable! This is classic chilling effect - there are no rules so everyone stops talking www.theverge.com/news/780471/...

It's pretty dang good. Should solve the icons hidden behind the notch issue.

All the mountains are snow kissed for the first time this fall. It's coming ...❄️⛷️❄️

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

Don't just read the headline. Take a moment to watch the video. It's short.

TIL about `array_column` in PHP 🤩 And it can work on objects, too, so here's simple way to get all the values from a backed enum… (It's also about 2x faster than `array_map` in my testing.)

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump announces he will issue an unconstitutional and illegal executive order purporting to ban mail-in voting and certain voting equipment for the 2026 midterm election. Such an effort would violate the Constitution and is a major step to prevent free and fair elections.

If anyone wonders why designing email software is hard. I scored 14/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Laracon was such a blast. If you end up building a cool custom relation after watching my talk, I’d love to hear about it!

Literally the longest security line I have ever seen at Denver airport this morning.

Flux 4 for laravel looks awesome. There are so many speed improvements and so many syntax niceties. @calebporzio.bsky.social and @joshhanley.au are killing it. Real world solutions to real world problems.

@tjmiller.bsky.social had a great talk on the latest in prism for laravel. it's really been fleshed out into a nice complete set of tools for integrating ai into your app.

Great talk by @thierylaverdure.com at laracon. Check out litebase.com for a very ambitious project to run sqlite dbs remotely.

Finally, @symfony.com just announced its #AI Initiative - a comprehensive framework for building AI-powered #PHP applications (even for numerous #Laravel fans!) From multi-provider #LLM support to agent-based automation and #RAG, here’s everything you need to know 🧵👇

Would you let a 90-year-old grandma drive a Ferrari? I have no clue how anyone could come up with such an idea 😏 Running #ClaudeCode with a Local #LLM: A Step-by-Step Guide www.shawnmayzes.com/product-eng... #ai #coding

Did Elon just wake up from his fever dream? More likely he knows that this is what will get publicity while his real concern is his contracts and tax breaks.

Started to code up some logic to show loading indicators on long loading requests. Then I realized that Laravel Livewire just has it already livewire.laravel.com/docs/wire-lo.... Saved me a couple of hours. @calebporzio.bsky.social 🚀 🤯 🚀 #laravel #livewire

Sometimes, the best strategy for your startup is to sell your .COM to Microsoft so they can use it for their AI coding tool. 😅

Idle Cursor | Software That Makes Things Feel Broken I made my terminal shell way better with a couple of apps and now other terminals feel broken. @atuin.sh idlecursor.com/episodes/sof...

Remember build special effects scenes in college with this 😂.

Forget vanity metrics. The real test of whether an ad is working is whether people mention it in Slack. (Congrats to @aaronfrancis.com and @ianlandsman.com and the @mostlytechnical.com on this one) Podcast ads work!

Went to try to get some information from the Bureau Of Land Management website. Every page except the homepage is broken.

Got to release some cool new stuff for HelpSpot today. We're now doing AI triage. Automatically categorizing and assigning tickets to the appropriate place as they come in. www.helpspot.com/blog/helpspo...

Thunderbolts was the first acceptable Marvel production I've seen in quite some time. We laughed and it was good fun.

One of the biggest reasons I chose to go with plain Blade templates for my Laravel SaaS starter kit is that it's just simpler. Less tooling, only one language to manage, and more methods directly available from the core framework. Also honestly, I just like working with it!

Flux + Alpine + Livewire is such a powerhouse for building great user interactions quickly. So much power to mix and match tools together to make a cohesive end product. @calebporzio.bsky.social has a good thing going. #laravel #livewire

Am I too negative? @sentimentbot.bsky.social

I figured out a minimal pattern for building a completely custom website using GitHub Actions and deploying the result to GitHub Pages, so I wrote it up as a TIL til.simonwillison.net/github-actio...

MySQL not having a version_compare equivalent is pretty clunky. Was just working on a filament table filter and ended up round tripping the data since my dataset is pretty small. 🤢

I wrote a new Laravel Package! INTRODUCING DOCUDOODLE ✨ Docudoodle is a documentation generator that analyzes your codebase and creates comprehensive documentation using the OpenAI API Check it out and let me know your feedback! <3 github.com/genericmilk/... #laravel #composer #php #ai

This is what Dems are worried about? God I wish I had a party.

Everything we heard about Trump and Russia was true. It was clearly true from the beginning and we're seeing undeniable proof now. I hope we at least get the pee tape when they're done with him.

These are my ads on YouTube. Is google really hurting for ad dollars this bad??

PSA If you're updating to Carbon 3, note that a number of methods are now type-strict, resulting in a thrown exception. Got caught out with a @statamic.bsky.social addon that was using an env-based config variable which Laravel was treating as a string, not an int.

Brand refresh with Business Dad [@ianlandsman.com] and the Crew. Apparently I need some coaching on how to negotiate pricing 😅

I'm just about done building what I wish Laravel Spark would have been. Payment processor agnostic (Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Patreon, and GitHub Sponsors drivers will be ready very soon). All event-sourced, and it handles everything from pricing pages to enforcing feature limits.

Is it just me or is using the term "S Tier" when talking about humans pretty cringe? I for one don't like having classes of people.
