When looking over any of these released emails, keep in mind that Julie K. Brown and the Miami Herald published the article that would ultimately lead to his arrest in November of 2018.

Everything old is new again

Four health insurers are dropping or significantly curtailing individual market offerings in 2026 as insurance pools are predicted to grow sicker. bit.ly/444v08M

99% of Republicans understand nothing about intraleft politics. they’re still saying shit like “you won’t be so happy when BILL CLINTON is implicated will you?”

Why do some #atproto sites NOT require an app password? As far as I can tell there's no way to revoke auth. Isn't this bad practice?

Oooh pca.st/episode/ed00...

if true, the exit of these officers would be an unquestioned net good for the city

Seeing new emails every hour today, each one prompting the question of "Will he take the easy way out?"

Got a new pixel 8. The user experience is absolutely deteriorating. Feature bloat and annoyances. Constant feature tweaks that break old patterns with poor cost/benefit. Might be forced to a light phone, graphene, or combo of P&S camera+flip phone+?

Steganography meets Sesame Street Also, wow

"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die, again!"

You can really tell something about the motives and/or intelligence of the people in the room when this was uttered.

books have no tech tree, no fog of war

*snicker-snack*

Tell me your software is old without telling me it's damn old.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I thought this might happen, but dared not utter it.

why did i learn to read

Yes it's quite the turn. The idea of 99% vs 1% is entirely new. I am an adult columnist for a nationally read newspaper.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

we're just gonna absolutely drive this 6 million feet into the ground in like 6 hours aren't we

Actually kinda want to tint this whole woodcut and draw it on a pen plotter.

I mean

In light of the Mamdani win, and the various racist smears, I'd been mulling over how bigotry is so easily disguised under the rubric of "propriety." I might be convinced that these appeals are sometimes sincere, but even *in* sincerity they can be simple reification.

This has been shown to me IRL as real by a 1/2 dozen people. Times are weird.

This is truly absurd. My mind reels at what work could even possibly merit such compensation. Developing a cancer cure? Even that seems odd. This type of number is just (to my mind) divorced from reality.

Thinking about how using consumer facing AI tools break longstanding computing aphorisms like DRY, or the robustness principle. Working with AI tools is an endless process of restate, rephrase, refactor. They're certainly liberal in what they accept, but they're mindless when it comes to output.

There are no words for how evil this is

This is why law is bad, this is why law is good.

pretty intense pro/con tally

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

So goddam weird to have him summoned by a government headed by a guy who should also be "summoned"

This sucks.

Details matter. From transition2025.com, the Zohran transition site.

I'm excited and happy about yesterday's blanket repudiation of GOP governance but also let's keep in mind that the entire Democratic power structure got behind Andrew Cuomo and pushed to try and stop Zohran- let's celebrate the Ws but also don't get it twisted

Shot: Lina Khan is fucking brilliant and based and I'm so happy to hear she's a part of Zohrans transition team. Chaser: lol gtfo freak

So damn tasty

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Oh, Dick Cheney died? Well-- *sees Bluesky mod around corner* What's really important is championing the open protocol.

Like it says on the tin, add your wildest RW Mamdani freak outs plz

He feels (I guess?) joy and inspiration from violent scenes of oppression, I feel it from heartfelt optimistic inclusive speeches. I'm ok with that.

Tripped on a pothole on the way home. This is life under Mamdani.

I think this speech had a little bit for everybody. Some colloquial/predictable inspiration beats. A few plays with expectation/delivery ("...four words...") Some kinda corny/precious poetics Some measured and artful scorn Nice sampling of references Maintained sense of insistence

Bluesky mods just openly hate democracy

If you’re leaving NYC because of Mamdani and have a two-bed, two-bath available on the UWS, my DMs are open!

Useful for Cuomo to say that this was an election about the future identity of the Democratic Party in his concession speech. You know. Because he lost.
