41 million people (including 20 million kids) will lose access to food in a few days while a new 90,000 square foot ballroom is being added to the White House. This political moment is profoundly disgusting.

This is among the most corrupt things a president has ever suggested, and I hope the press treats it that way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

“Drone strike on a kindergarten” is not a sentence that should fucking exist, but it does, it happened this morning, in Ukraine.

A billionaire crapping on the little guy is the Republican message!

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

Here are some actual photos of actual protesters taken by actual people in Detroit yesterday.

As someone doxxed by Andy Ngo, myself, I understand the drama it can bring. His latest target, Daryle Lamont Jenkins is the hero of the film SKIN, and an even greater hero in real life: A Black man who, on his own for decades, has targeted and transformed white supremacists. Now, he needs our help

"Mark Benioff wants to find synergies for ICE and ensure that like that they create a vertical stack... I think it's fucking sick. That's what I think." @timmiller.bsky.social takes on Salesforce CEO Benioff’s full MAGA pivot — from “Dreamforce” to “Deportation-as-a-Service.”

" It's just tech, everything doesn't have to become some weird religion that you beat people over the head with, or gamble the entire stock market on."

Yup, pretty much this. Saw someone else here drawing parallels with the Tulip Mania of the 17th century, and I totally see that.

AI is a boring, normal, nontransformative, potentially useful technology strapped to a massive stock market bubble.

Late to the party. 100% agree. This is tulip mania for the 21st century, only the beautiful flowers are slop AI videos and psychotic chatbots.

Anil hits the nail on the head. Can confirm as someone in tech that it is getting harder to express moderate and measured opinions on AI lest you be seen as a hater or non-believer.

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

would be very fun to make all of trumps regimes bluesky accounts the most blocked accounts on bluesky

THIS is what I mean when Ive been saying that nearly all big tech companies, even consumer focused ones that have nothing to do with surveillance, see the easy money to be made with practically all federal funding going exclusively to deportation and wanting in on it by making tools for ICE.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

They know the difference. They don’t care.

Listen up, @pantheon.io: if you still host the websites of Heritage Foundation & their cursèd Project 2025 cuz of contractual BS, the least you can do is donate *100% of Heritage Foundation payments* to organizations that are working to protect communities targeted by Project 2025. And publicize it.

This is the ADF that Pantheon defended hosting a few years ago. There's a difference between platforming ideas you don't agree with, and enabling right wing terror and the dismantling of democracy. Still not sure Pantheon decision-makers know the difference. Or maybe they don't care?

Any #Drupal developers set up a locally-hosted LLM coding assistant? Preferably highly specialized to Drupal, but even some general #PHP. In theory it would be better results, free (if you have the hardware), less environmentally destructive, and not beholden to the whims of for-profit tech giants.

We’re excited to share that ImageX has renewed as a #DrupalCertifiedPartner! As a specialized Drupal agency, ImageX manages everything from strategy and design to development and ongoing support, helping clients achieve their long-term goals. Learn more at www.imagexmedia.com

Neurodiversity isn’t a challenge to overcome. It’s an advantage to understand. @kelmilo.bsky.social in @thedroptimes.bsky.social shares the role of neurodiversity in innovation and why inclusion of different thinkers can help #Drupal adapt and evolve. www.kalamuna.com/blog/cross-p... #DrupalConEur

something the last decade has really made me think about is the concept of “empathy” — and how unamicable it is to fascism.

Seems like a no-brainer that other modern #drupal hosting platforms (ahem Acquia cough Pantheon) should follow the lead of @upsun.com and pay the #ddev maintainers a few bucks to create add-ons that automatically configure DDEV to match their hosting environments: ddev.com/blog/ddev-up... 💡🚀👏💻

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center— Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it). ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster. The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

What's sort of incredible is that it lays bare how much of the economy is just vibes. There has been no value created, at all. The only reason we aren't already crashing is because the rich are holding out hope it'll pay off. In material terms things will get *better* when the bubble bursts.

“Its the way of the future!” Only for your fleeting profits. Long term, your future will only result in failure and destitution

Its gonna be so much worse and with all those data centers in black and brown communities, its pretty easy to see how catastrophic this will turn out

I think whats gonna be the only diff between then and now is that *then* the dot com bubble bursting took out folks connected to it but this time the AI bubble bursting is gonna take out darn near everything all b/c ppl are putting their fingers in their ears and going lalalala all for a quick hit.

IMO we’re at the “key players colluding to prop the collapsing system up” stage. Hence the vendor financing deal with OpenAI, Nvidia & AMD. I still think it has a year or so to run depending on what Trump does to the Fed
