Christians I beg you please stop naming your organizations Hebrew words like, you have a whole tradition & language(s) & religious culture that's your own our traditions broke up a long time ago you have a lane? This is not it? and it's v confusing for me personally when I click on stuff, ok

The #WestCoastHealthAlliance continues to strongly recommend vaccines to protect our children, noting that rigorous research of millions of people in multiple countries over decades provides high quality evidence that vaccines are not linked to #autism. (1/

As we head toward the holiday season, I'd like to remind everyone that jokes are optional at family gatherings. A family can have a perfectly lovely gathering in which no one teases any other member of the family. Someone's reaction to a joke that hurts them isn't what "ruins" the gathering.

runj no longer depends on jail(8) and directly makes syscalls to set up the jail! I learned about some interesting quirks of the jail syscalls while doing this porting work and wrote it up: samuel.karp.dev/blog/2025/11...

runj 0.2.0 is out, now with the OCI Runtime Spec 1.3.0! This release officially models jails and represents a significant step toward bridging FreeBSD jails with the container ecosystem. Also, runj could use some additional contributors 😀 samuel.karp.dev/blog/2025/11...

New Jersey! Virginia!

So the first in a generation. The first since the last of the Dixiecrats retired/died

BREAKING: Pennsylvania voters approve to retain three state Supreme Court justices, NBC News projects, preserving Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the state’s high court.

And now FreeBSD jails are standardized into the OCI Runtime Specification! freebsdfoundation.org/blog/freebsd...

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

They don't have an answer, because they don't ask the question. It is 2025. If you are a Democratic Party operative in 2025 and you aren't even looking into media ownership and propaganda effects, then you are either a conman or a mark.

(6) This idea that democrats should abandon trans people and immigrants and climate change (in 2025!) is just unconscionably dumb. Declaring “I’m focused on prescription drug prices” sounds like pandering because it IS pandering. Everyone can tell. Try standing for something. See how it feels.

Great explainer as to why the Shoah is so specifically associated with Jews, even as millions of others were targeted and murdered. Antisemitism isn't the belief that Jews are evil. It's the belief that evil is Jewish - every evil in your midst goes back to the Jews and evil must be rooted out.

The FreeBSD extensions got merged into the OCI Runtime Spec today! This is another step on the way to bringing the container ecosystem to FreeBSD. runj will add support for this soon (most of the work is already done): github.com/opencontaine...

Here is a corrected version of it. It should have any and all typos taken care of - but feel free to point out any! I want this to be squared away before I make any prints! Thanks, #JewSky for your enthusiasm!

I know folks have been talking about this for a few days now, but I just want to emphasize: the next D POTUS needs to demolish everything Trump erects Blot it all out

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

The Governor has signed S.B. 524–now police departments in California are at a crossroads. They can retain AI-written police report drafts themselves. Axon can change their product to make it lawful. Or police can drop Axon’s Draft One product. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Hard to estimate any of these crowd sizes other than “bigger than Trump’s crowds.”

Jewish law & Bible scholarship don't think the word in the 10 Commandments for "steal" is about, like, shoplifting. Look at eg Genesis 40:15, Exodus 21:16 , Deuteronomy 24:7-- the commandment is not to steal people. Don't kidnap. Though you shouldn't need the Bible to teach you that. #AbolishICE

/2 I mean what Chappelle is doing is like inviting Jared Fogle on your podcast to talk about parents being too strict

/3 The gulf is between people who see this as brutal and inhuman, and people who see the victims of this as inhuman. The gulf is between people who speak our opposition and people who think that makes us unpatriotic, unreliable, someone to be mocked with sombrero videos.

/2 The gulf is between people who think this is bad and think it is good. The gulf is between those of us who think the government shouldn’t treat people that way and people whop think we are stupid, un-American Marxists to think that.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

G’mar Chatimah Tovah, fam. May we all reflect and do better.

To anyone disabled, pregnant, prone to eating disorders, blood sugar issues, on meds that require food etc: Yom Kippur rules are very clear. You must NOT fast if it will hurt your health. Don’t believe me? Believe Chabad, even they say so. Judaism doesn’t want you to endanger your health.

if the remaining talk show hosts don't devote their monologues to this they're scabs and cowards.

New post on my blog: Writing Software for Myself samuel.karp.dev/blog/2025/09...

Why isn’t every local news broadcast opening with, “What are the ‘Groypers’, and how do you know the signs of your son is part of the deadly gang?”

I'm getting real tired of people acting like pushing replacement theory and wanting to stone queer people isn't inherently violent political rhetoric. Way to tell everyone you don't see people like me or my family as fully human worthy of protection.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

George Floyd was a father too and Charlie Kirk called him a “scumbag.”

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

*GOP school shooting policy enters the chat* *GOP masking at school policy during a global pandemic enters the chat* *GOP demolition of WIC, school lunches, and other forms of basic sustenance, reinstating child labor laws, lowering the marriage age again.. Senator Wyden, my sweet summer child…

I get it. Life as a celebrity can get boring. Some people feel the need to be deputized as a sheriff or join ICE, just to get some adrenaline. These people suck. I'd like to point out that some other celebs choose to be volunteer firefighters. Some became firefighters after the fame. Much better!♥️

"Why on earth should everyone deserve the things to which I believe me and mine are entitled" "but gimme"

Yes, you’ve correctly identified why big government is in fact good.

one of the characteristics of anti-semitism is that it's very flexible. jews are bad for being capitalists *and* bad for being communists. before they had a nation-state they were bad for being 'rootless,' once they had one they were bad for wanting one.

this was very famously discussed by Sarah Palin. like maybe the thing she's the most famous for

I'm only going to say this once: It is a very bad idea to ask 18-year-olds with assault rifles that have been put through ten weeks of a brainwashing regimen meant to control for the negative effects of giving 18-year-olds assault rifles to determine which civilian orders are right or wrong.

Democrats need to directly attack and pressure institutions for caving to Trump. As in, they need to give speeches and call out - by name - companies, universities, and law firms that have acceded to his illegal demands. If they don't, the path of least resistance will always be acquiescence.

okay fine I’ll do it but you were warned

Registries: Please stop using `docker pull <image ref>` as a copy field in your frontends. Just give the image ref. Please... With cherries on top... and chocolate sauce. No one has ever needed to copy the "docker pull" and will use "docker run" anyway (assuming they need the ref for this reason).

In 1290, Edward I issued an edict expelling all Jews from England, becoming the first European state in history to do so. The law was issued on the ninth of Ab, just to be an extra asshole about it, and land and property were forfeited to the crown. judeo-christian, my ass

Yes they’re concentration camps. They’re not death camps. But one leads to the other and it’s only a matter of time. And they’re not Auschwitz, because only Auschwitz was Auschwitz. It’s really all that simple.
