When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

U.S. Suffers Additional Casualties In War It Won Last Week

The latest step, and a major one, in the Trump administration’s consistent efforts to keep the Russian army in the field against Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...

Remember the "I did that!" stickers on gas pumps? Trump really did:

taxes are good. let us be a society. Jesus Christ.

A win! A federal judge in Rhode Island has directed the government to reinstate a union contract covering more than 300,000 Veterans Affairs employees after the Trump administration attempted to end the agreement in August.

Curious about custom <select>? I wrote about some of my recent demos over at @css-tricks.com! Take a look ✨ css-tricks.com/abusing-cust...

Think you know HTML? Put those skills to the test with this crossword! 117 HTML terms: tag names, properties, values, some ARIA and language codes... #game #html #css

Playing with animations and "state" memory in CSS and made this little demo. In Firefox and Chromium browsers you can click to draw pixel art and even reset the drawing. I'd like to update it with alternative colors using the adjacent checkbox hack. codepen.io/allankukral/...

We should always think of the Interop project as a low bar. The stuff that gets included shouldn't be the limit of what browsers build in a year, but that's not how Apple (who are perennially behind) treat it. It's a scandal, and so are the misdirections they try to spread about it.

If you use a service worker's fetch event listener, would a `isReloadNavigation` boolean property be helpful to you? It would indicate if the current request was a user-initiated reload (e.g., refresh button click, location.reload(), or history.go(0)).

I cannot describe properly in words how much it infuriates me to my bone that there were people out there that were allowed to act like Right Wingers, RIGHT WINGERS, were free speech champions

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

If dems don’t break up the maga media conglomerates as soon as they can they have no sense of self preservation bsky.app/profile/atru...

If people in the White House thought the war was going well I don't think JD Vance's allies would be leaking stories like this www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

This story suggests that Witkoff and Kushner bungled the negotiations with Iran because they don't understand nuclear technology www.ms.now/news/trump-i...

Russia enters Viktor Orban's election campaign, providing consultants who will flood social media with messages designed, ironically, to frame Orbán, a Russia puppet, as "the only candidate who can keep Hungary sovereign" From @financialtimes.com giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

“The ask is simple enough that nobody gets to say they didn’t know what to do.” @carmitage.bsky.social cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-regime...

Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

This is a spectacular piece of writing.

On both sides of the Atlantic, we're learning that a significant fraction of the population is happy to vote for the disastrously inept because they promise things that can never be true, and the right-wing press have no limit to enablement.

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this

As this war deepens, I suggest you read what I wrote about Donald Trump's plan to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

This is correct, imo. A Democratic administration successfully broke students' will to protest. They won nothing and faced massive consequences. NO ONE stood up for their free speech rights among mainstream pundits. Now they're to blame for the Biden administration's success at repressing them? No.

It's grimly satisfying that Musk managed to install a wannabe petro dictator in the US that used the military to drive up gas prices, while simultaneously destroying any and all interest in his electric cars.

Tired of winning.

The recording of my @11ty.dev Meetup presentation (w/ related links + code samples) is now available: cloudfour.com/thinks/littl... Big thanks to @sia.codes for having me, @zachleat.com for encouraging my possum drawings, and especially everyone who attended! #Eleventy #BuildAwesome #WebDesign

using public office to name and shame evil landlords into submission is so cool. i hope democrats learn from him

this is the story of so many technologies and certainly almost every technology that centers itself around knowledge work. that's because the technology isn't built/marketed/implemented with the workers in mind, it is for the bosses, who implement it in order to extract more out of people

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Apparently, most historians believe that Caligula didn't *really* put his horse in the Senate. So, there's still room to sink.

Turned out I had a (unpaid) Grammarly account. Emphasis on "had".

Commentary: If you are one of Ohio’s nearly 8 million registered voters, Sec. of State Frank LaRose just gave your full name, address, date of birth, driver’s license and partial Social Security number, to Trump's Justice Department ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/11/s...

the important thing i think is that they get comfortable now with living in federal facilities

Meanwhile, if you are cis...

I have been writing about Temporal for *such a long time* I talked to @b.trl.sn in 2021 about everything that was wrong with "our broken Date object" and how Temporal would fix that, but I did say it would have to wait on IETF work that wouldn't be done till 2022 thenewstack.io/javascript-f...

The drum that really need to get beaten is that the single biggest blocking point for Iran breaking out was that the supreme leader was sincerely religiously opposed to nuclear weapons, which is why we, very smartly (/s) blew him up

Every Republican blaming Democrats for airport delays is a fraud.

"Show some guts" says a draft dodger. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

Oh, and look, here's that class action suit! That anyone with half a brain would have seen coming! From, like, a million miles away! Just because you work in tech doesn't mean you're smart.

"i think he bought the wrong size"

To emphasize: Trump's Board of Immigration Appeals (I call it that because they purged almost everyone else) is saying that even people who are 100% certain to get a green card if the government just waits a few years should instead be ordered deported because there will be an "uncertain" wait time.
