For those who struggle with the geography, Netanyahu's primary political rival wants to annex the orange

Right — leaving "PR-open / not yet merged" on things that have since landed is its own kind of lie. Let me verify the actual PR states rather than guess, then check off what's真 done. Hah, there's my name!

People really forget the way that the visibility fight Laverne Cox won was being able to portray a trans woman as a whole fucking human being instead of dead hooker number 5 in CSI Miami.

I especially love this diagram.

The US AI industry is now crippled by a federal "oversight" that is three bribe-seeking fascists in a trenchcoat. The Chinese AI industry shipped GLM 5.2 last week. Open source, cheaper, and equal in benchmarks to the best of the Western models. 欢迎来到美国的“百年国耻”时代。

BREAKING: The Rent Guidelines Board on Thursday approved 0% rent increases for about 1 million rent-stabilized apartments, delivering on one of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s signature campaign promises. www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/06/25/r...

Emacs has a (temporary, they say) no-LLM-generated-code policy, which IMO is 1) unenforceable, and 2) encourages people to lie to the Emacs project.

Does Josh Shapiro, when he envisions a two-state solution, envision two co-equal sovereign states with the equal capabilities to defend themselves and their territorial integrity? No.

I think since being prime minister of the UK has such a high regret rate, we should: * Open Prime Minister Identity Clinics with 2-250 year wait lists * Ask candidates how they masturbate * Allow them to stand for the election only while they undergo talk therapy to convince them that they can't

"You read the Google SRE book and you see the incident process at Google and it's like many of the same attributes as Akamai." Abhijit Mehta and I debate whether that's convergent evolution or because Akamai's practices spread across the industry.

Naftali Bennett, the most likely next Prime Minister of the State of Israel and so-called rival of Benjamin Netanyahu, says that he intends to annex "Area C" of the illegally-occupied West Bank, which is roughly 60% of Palestinian territory.

They are not your friends. They are not on your side. If they wanted to be nice to you they wouldn’t be showing up with threats because you made an obvious joke online about our small green microbial friends. They aren’t trying to do you a solid by giving you a chance to tell your side.

Also this is so incredibly grimly authoritarian, and please let this remind you that authoritarians are Not Clever and that makes them even worsel

we lawyers will all understand if principle and/or irresistible impulse requires that you exclaim "are you fucking stupid!?" prior to a clear & unequivocal request to speak with a lawyer before answering any questions.

Privacy won’t save us. Anonymity won’t save us. Opsec won’t save us. Cybersecurity won’t save us. Only solidarity will save us

Worth noting there's video evidence of two waves of missiles hitting the military compound next to the school www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

LMAO

here's the thing with Madison Square Garden keeping a file on me. it doesn't scare me personally, cuz all all the info in their "dossier" is public on the Internet. But it shows exactly why we shouldn't let corporations, who by nature make lists of their enemies, amass surveillance empires.

So jealous of the lawyer who had this walk into their office..

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jun Advocate After DOJ went to a TX fed judge to force NYU Langone to turn over minors med records, a NY fed judge blocked DOJ from obtaining medical records, ID info, or receiving or using the records in any way while prohibiting Langone from turning the data over.

It was hit with Tomahawks. We did it. This isn’t up for debate.

Every bug report, support ticket, incident, and customer request is a specification. We just haven’t had systems that could consume them directly. aicoding.leaflet.pub/3mjx4erlboc2l

For most of software history, production has been the end of the pipeline. Build. Test. Deploy. Run. We’re approaching a world where production becomes the beginning of the next iteration.

we live in a world where account execs can build from scratch and drive their own demos, because generative AI can handle the heavy lifting of building the domain-specific load generator and fault injector tailored to the client's industry and ontology (verbs/nouns/adjectives). what a world.

I have a million follow-up questions

“I will be one of the Jewish members of Congress most willing to stand up for Palestinian human rights. And I will stand firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. Those are not two different jobs. They are the same job,” Brad Lander said.

My worst lawyering, as requested. A bunch of you asked to see the actual letter I sent CareFirst after they "investigated" whether I live in the Maryland they bill every month. Here it is, lightly redacted. 👇 www.patreon.com/mattbc/posts...

What we know so far, 10:25pm: —Mamdani's 3 House candidates win —NYC left seems on track to ousting 4 state legislators —Trump's original candidate for South Carolina governor lost —In MD, Boafo wins & McClain Delaney leads —Baltimore County prosecutor down big —Utah's GOP incumbents surviving

Judge Failla: Aren't you working with a de-transitioning group in Texas? AUSA: Yes. Judge Failla: So the plaintiffs may be concerned they would be forced into that. Take a moment while I consider what to ask NYU [some laughter in the courtroom]

OK - now hearing in Coe v. Todd Blanche on a Temporary Restraining Order and provisional class certification of families of transgender youth seeking to block turn over of health info to DOJ/subpoena to NYU Langone. Inner City Press will live skeet, thread below

In honor of Norwegian anti-trans pediatrician Anne Wæhre & two others being found guilty of research misconduct today, here's my profile of Wæhre, who spoke at a 2023 conference organized by anti-trans hate group Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine: www.transgendermap.com/issues/medic...

Trans people are now protected from sex based harassment under the Protection from Sex-based Harassment in Public Act 2023. This means that gender critics can potentially be prosecuted for harassing, alarming, or distressing trans people in public. rejserin.medium.com/uks-protecti...

I have previewed this. It is awesome, and one day might power a pretty substantial chunk of the @honeycomb.io query backend.

It was exactly thirty years ago today, on June 23 1996, that the Australian Rail Maps website first went live. Ever since first encountering the London tube map as a youngster, I’ve wondered why can’t we have maps like that here in Australia. So I made some myself. (1 of 6)

See, folks, this is why it's absurd that people decided the biggest issue they had with AI datacenters is water use. You can just *say* you don't like the idea of machine intelligence or the automation of thought work! Just admit you think it's an abomination! It would be more honest!

Sounds bad

NEW: Insane screwup inside Meta. The company exposed worker keystroke data that was being used to train AI — making it potentially accessible to anyone at the company. The data included personnel and performance info, private convos, full transcriptions…imagine your coworkers seeing all of that.

what a productive day on so many fronts! variable chronic illness and fatigue is really hard to grapple with, some days you get absolutely nothing done, other days you can just plow through a week of chores and get several jobs' worth of work done in a single day.

Good riddance to Keir Starmer. He was elected leader on a progressive platform that he dumped immediately to adopt a conservative, authoritarian leadership and premiership. A man who stands for nothing except power for no purpose. I'm not convinced Andy Burnham will be better, mind.
