"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." ― Frank Herbert, Dune cassidoo.co/post/good-br...

@kevinpowell.co I believe this was an issue for you.

Will never not be jarring to see armed goons demanding people’s papers on the street in the United States of America like it’s Nazi Germany. Fuckin nightmare scenes.

People are migrating from Decap CMS to Sveltia CMS literally every day. Our showcase now features 60 sites from 25 countries. Take a look and find inspiration for your next project!

Wrote about the sheer amount of software that is going to be created: the software Cambrian explosion is upon us. Prepare accordingly. johncodes.com/archive/2026...

Issue 82 - Eleventy: 2025 in Review, Got simple docs? Alex Zappa brings the juice! Vanessa Sickles' portfolio site, An update to Learn Eleventy, Bash your way to a blog, Sveltia CMS, Start with beer, Exploring a baseline, v2 of Podcaster, Eleventy Live!... https://11tybundle.dev/blog/11ty-bundle-82/

One of the best reasons to use a static site like @11ty.dev is cost: #WordPress and other monolithic CMSes require an always-on server, database, and always-changing software to run it. ZeroPoint (which uses 11ty) only uses a server when you publish a change, and it uses GitHub Actions for free.

New year, new website. Here's a little (big) write up about the evolution of my website, and some of the new fun things I built in the redesign. p.s. please don't find any bugs, thank you

And there’s still time to make your year-end contribution in support of our lifesaving work:

We’re nearing the end of this very long year, but the harm of gun violence in America’s communities hasn’t slowed — and neither can we. At Brady, we’re continuing the fight. Make your end of year contribution today to support our work in 2026:

Thank you to all of those who make our work possible — those who lend their time, energy, money, stories, and even pain to this cause. We are making a difference because of you. Together, we will free America from gun violence.

My wife and I watched Joyeux Noel on Netflix today. It's the story of the Christmas truce between French, Scottish, and German soldiers. It was very well done and heartbreaking. Tomorrow, we'll watch something lighter. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyeux_...

The gun industry didn’t just sell guns, it also flooded the market with at least 717 *million* large-capacity magazines, making mass shootings deadlier. It’s time for bold federal action, enough with the excuses. @thetrace.org @rollingstone.com

@maddow.bsky.social Your “Burn Order” podcast is incredibly compelling. Thank you. Chuck Rosenberg is right. This is the time for this.

Donald Trump’s televised speech last night was a “presidential address unworthy of the American people and the American nation and its democracy,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues: theatln.tc/e8RHbR3R

If you love @11ty.dev and make use of the 11ty Bundle website, we’ve got a beta test of the redesigned site just for you. There's a feedback link at the top. Enjoy! @zachleat.com redesign.bob-monsour.workers.dev

My book is delayed and you can help! The illustrator I had is too busy to engage in the 35 UI illustrations needed to complete the book. If you are or know of an illustrator that has time to deliver UI illustrations soon please let me know! 🙏

This is in 40 minutes, come hang out!

MANA: Make America Normal Again

Issue 81 - 11ty Meetup recap, Zach secures Eleventy, Another v4 alpha emerges, Zach forks Nunjucks, Quesby arrives...And 9 releases, 15 posts and 18 sites to see https://11tybundle.dev/blog/11ty-bundle-81/ #11ty @11ty.dev @zachleat.com

Strangers by String is #BuiltWithEleventy by @likethecolour.red and @strange.website 🏆🏆🏆 strangersbyspring.com

This is *exactly* what the Trump administration is doing...and it is so totally fucked up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=42X_...

Grateful to Coach Kerr for using his platform to drive meaningful change. When leaders speak hard truths about gun violence, they help move this country from apathy to action. We need more of this courage on the court, in Congress, and in every community.

Finally, I have arrived. devlids.com/lids/bob-mon...

Steve Kerr comments on the devastating events in Oakland this week and the passing of John Beam.

Over these past decades, software has coached us into thinking like a computer. Not necessarily on purpose, but because the software wasn't designed to be usable by thinking like a human. This side effect was a net positive for libertarians, who leapt from anti-human software to an anti-human world

I really should go back to sleep, but am stuck on today’s Wordle.

Getting ready to kick off 24 hours of gaming to raise money for Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. We’re just under $1800 from our goal! Come hang out and support us! www.extra-life.org/participants...

"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."

Big news, everyone: this is it! This is the one! This is the last thing I will ever write! I am never writing anything ever again! wil.to/newsletters/...

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

Pelosi: "Trump is a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the earth. Because he's the president of the United States and he doesn't honor the Constitution of the United States."

Doing a thing with @karlgroves.bsky.social next week. You know me, I'm somewhat of a sceptic. Let's see where this "friendly debate" ends up! (I didn't choose that title, by the way, brrr) Webinar registration: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does. Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.
