"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his substack depends on his not understanding it".

A nonbinding resolution condemning blotting out the sun failed along mostly party lines, with Jared Golden voting with republicans. The Supreme Court has declined to take up the case, as the petitioners challenging the constitutionality of the president to usher in eternal darkness lack standing.

Swift for #Wasm January 2026 Updates is out, lots of great stuff done by the community this month! forums.swift.org/t/swift-for-...

Jamie Dimon and @postopinions.bsky.social should check their facts. Right now, federal law prevents states from doing this—and it's the big banks who want to keep it that way. If you want to get on board to let states cap credit card rates and lower costs, I’m ready to pass the bill.

I posted this to the other place originally but decided to repost it here so I could quote it to complain that a recipe calls for cups-worth of chicken.

Americans: We use these nesting cups to quickly measure out common quantities of liquid - Huh, yeah, that’s kinda convenient. A: And also things you can scoop, like flour or oats - Hmm, less sure about that one A: Or cram in like berries - Wait… A: Now add a half cup of butter

My talk from Server Side Swift is up! Talking about how languages make the trade-off between easy to write and fast at runtime, and how (shockingly!) I think #Swift strikes the right balance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz3h...

Californians: for the first time in ages, your vote matters nationally. Prop 50 counters the illegitimate Texas gerrymander, restoring the impact of your vote. Opposition is misguided. Taking the high road here helps those against democracy keep control. Vote yes on 50. stopelectionrigging.com

It's 2025. We have actual concentration camps, and a white nationalist setting US immigration policy, and the majority of white people surveyed say that they support how Trump is "handling immigration."🤦🏿‍♂️ And I *still* have white folk in my mentions saying "I don't think that many support it? 🤡

JB Pritzker seems like a promising candidate for 2028, and he has experience from his stint in the Bartlett administration, but I'm worried skeletons will come out about his investments in his nephew's restaurant.

🔲 Four Corners was rewritten in Swift—it's the first Swift game in Catalog. Read our interview with the developer to find out how that came about: news.play.date/news/four-co...

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Most of these names I can understand – they're purple state senators nervous about needing to seem bipartisan, even if I think that strategy is ineffective. But Schiff has no excuse. What was he thinking.

Once you realize most conservative arguments are in bad faith and their philosophy is actual the the 5 principles below, you will know peace • men > women • white people > other races • straight people > LGBTQ • Christians > other religions • rich people > poor people Everything else is flexible
