Managing GitHub Action matrices is great until you have to update required status checks for every new version. I solved this with a 10-line "all-checks-passed" job that dynamically validates the matrix. No more manual updates! mrbusche.com/2026/02/27/g...

I built a lightweight Bluesky PWA! It’s a simple client designed to fix one big annoyance: losing your scroll position. It’s built with Svelte and is fully open-source. Try it here: bluesky-pwa.netlify.app GitHub: github.com/mrbusche/blu... Feedback and contributions are welcome!

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

This is a great read about writing an HTML5 spec compliant parser in Python and a fascinating follow up by Simon converting the library to JavaScript for "free" simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/15/...

@legendaryupside.bsky.social @patkerrane.bsky.social Don't know the best place to mention this but the walk through hasn't posted to the premium feed. You mentioned in the pod with Reebs it's done (otherwise I'd still be patiently waiting 😂)

Netflix: We will never log you out, ever, for any reason Apple TV: Your session expires every 30 seconds

What are some songs where you are Astounded when you look at the play count? These should all be at 100M+ but some haven't cracked 1 million.

Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Nunn is so committed to Iowa District 3 he didn't show up to the Ankeny Summerfest parade which is almost 10% of his district population

"based on their physical appearance" Their training is just the image from family guy

you'd think painting these guys as enemies of working people everywhere would be a layup but instead dems are tinkering with messaging "freedom" and "abundance"

Would you like to receive a weekly email with your liked posts from Bluesky? Great news - I built a thing. Fork this repo, add a couple secrets and you're up and running. github.com/mrbusche/blu...

Here's my statement on the President's reckless actions tonight.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This is pretty sick. In JDK 25, the String::hashCode function in Java is improved to be mostly constant foldable, meaning the compiler can pre-compute the hash code at compile time when possible. inside.java/2025/05/01/s...

One pot recipes are the best - "Ready in 15 minutes" when that means 5 minutes to cook a pound of noodles with like 8 oz of liquid. Is there some trick to cooking noodles very quickly without liquid? Almost every time I end up tripling the liquid and the time it takes to cook.

@lateroundqb.bsky.social "two is not a winner and three nobody remembers" I generally take this approach but I'd never heard it phrased in Nelly lyrics before, thanks for that.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Painful how accurate this is.

"We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school." 💯 💯 💯

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

A swing voter is not a centrist. It's like, a guy who loves guns but has a gay sister, loves weed but hates food stamps because his cousin who owes him 50 bucks gets them. (Also, Osama was Iraqi.) You don't win that guy with a carefully crafted platform, you do it by not seeming fucking lame

Hey Iowa, I’m running to be your next Governor.

Sometimes I think about a poll during the 2016 election that ranked “corruption” as the top concern of voters. This was because this was a word Fox News used frequently with Hillary Clinton. That word has mysteriously disappeared from the vocabulary of the American press this year.

Complete with free voice recording and internet forever!

Congrats Pope!

Full quote: “The world’s richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world’s poorest children,” Gates told me, exhibiting a rare burst of real anger about the cuts to U.S.A.I.D. “He put it in the wood chipper, because he didn’t go to a party that weekend.”

Idea - a do not disturb hanger that stays on your hotel door when you open it.

Do billionaires next, sir

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Only had to start the databricks cluster 4 times before I remembered to come back to the tab before it stopped again.

Logging in to Century Link and downloading my bill literally takes 5 minutes (????). Hopefully someone notices my UTM parameters and is the change I need to save 5 minutes to get my internet reimbursed each month.

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley today: president of El Salvador "is not subject to our U.S. Supreme Court." So much for following the Constitution. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbfP...

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

Let's be clear that this thing Trump just said about having no trade deficits with any country would be far more radical, more disruptive, and more expensive, than every single leftist dream you have ever heard put together, including Medicare for All, Guaranteed Housing, and Universal Basic Income.

Chloe Kitts nailed it, "Wow" #uconnwbb

This is an excellent reframing of the current situation.

The Iowa Senate just approved a bill giving pesticide manufacturers immunity from lawsuits. Although Rs have a 34-16 majority, bill passed by 26 votes to 21. All Ds present voted no, joined by Rs Alons, Campbell, Salmon, Sires, Taylor, and Westrich. Rs Evans & Lofgren were absent. #ialegis

Breaking, and Bluesky gets it first: Colorado State coach Niko Medved has agreed to a deal to be the next coach at Minnesota, sources told CBS Sports. A huge swing of events. Medved's team almost beat Maryland last night. Now the Minneapolis native is headed back to his alma mater.

Has anyone in Trump's administration ever taken responsibility for anything? Trump even stopped taking responsibility for helping get the COVID vaccine created!

Absolutely brutal.
