I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Gerrymandering is awful and we should not be doing it. But until that's law, you gotta be playing the game by the same set of rules as everyone else. Democrats should gerrymander the hell out of their states and also pass federal laws that keep them from doing so. capitolfax.com/2025/10/27/j...

It's pretty cool how you can see tech getting less useful after decades of it not doing that lmao

I've had this vague notion that search is getting worse every year but this really clinches it for me. I'm sorry but this is like one of the most common vaudeville punchlines out there and I refuse to believe it's been indexed 0 times. I can certainly find it when I use site-specific search.

I simply do not understand why Firefox makes these two distinct menus.

I think very often people do not realize the sheer *scale* of government, particularly the US government.

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for. Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

I was just strolling along Milwaukee Avenue and a couple middle schoolers handed me a whistle and information about how to resist ICE in Chicago. If they are doing this now, imagine how this generation will turn out as they mature….

this is in fact exactly why you stay non-violent and disciplined, so that this isn't just seen as pushing and shoving and instead the unlawful assault by the state that it is

As always, if you see someone stealing food, no you didn’t.

70% of working age SNAP recipients work full time. The companies should pay them a living wage! SNAP is corporate welfare.

It's Science.

he is an Agent 47-level hitman that happened to have a passion for fashion instead of contract removals

The ChatGPT subreddit is absolutely hilarious. LLMs just output statistically likely responses, and a statistically likely response to being asked to do some work is "I'll have that done by...". So apparently in some cases ChatGPT had just been telling users it'll get back to them later. 1/2

@chris.manson.ie's herculean efforts are why vite landed in 6.8 🎉 Shipping proper (deprecations, CLIs, docs, tutorials, etc), is A TON of work, and the community helped get us there - esp on the docs and tutorials side - thank you to all who submitted a PR, opened an issue, or chatted in Discord!!

Got stood up for a second date and totally ghosted by a dude who was chatting me up for six weeks.

People all over the country need to understand that federal agents are not in Chicago to prevent violence – they're in Chicago to cause violence.

A friend and their 2y/o kid got hit with teargas while out for a walk in their neighborhood this morning. How has it become so routine for these reckless ICE thugs to snatch our neighbors and lob chemical weapons onto residential streets while they do it. This is everyday across Chicago right now.

Video of federal agents tear-gassing Irving Park this morning, obtained by Armando Sanchez. This is at least the sixth neighborhood federal agents have tear gassed while conducting immigration raids

"use rust";

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago. masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets. this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*

When federal agents patrol a dense neighborhood like mine, they are constantly stuck in traffic. They can't beat the humble bicycle. We have an edge on them in an urban environment.

THEY ARE STILL STAGING IN THIS AREA. PEOPLE NEED TO FLOOD THIS ZONE.

It remains insane and unacceptable that local elementary schools are having to ask the neighbors to come out and patrol student pick ups because the government is kidnapping people.

Federal agents just gassed my neighborhood

Sharing from a friend

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

CHICAGO: confirmed ICE sighting from our local facebook group about twenty minutes ago at the trader joe’s on diversey and clark, trader joe’s employees have said they are willing to watch and are watching bikes left behind from anyone who had to run.

In a sec. I'm busy guwht dade-ing

Even ignoring the premise of "LLMs making QTEs are how we're going to game" the more times you watch this the dumber this gets.

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

A couple of weeks ago, Trump struggled with a broken umbrella as he boarded Air Force One. Let me tell you how we got to this point — and the tragic downfall of the noble umbrella. 🧵

Updating my LEGO White House

Enough time has passed that I can definitively say that the “everyone is 12 now” post is THE load bearing post of Bluesky. The hall of famer Bluesky post. It commands respect even from Bluesky skeptics and haters

When your "law enforcement" plans involve you literally shooting at *multiple* religious leaders, you're on a timer.

free line for democrats to use on the white house shit: donald trump has done what the flight 93 hijackers couldn’t

Ad: This clip, then cutting to people waiting in food lines, then to Johnson saying he isn't familiar with X, Y, or Z, then cutting to U.S. citizens being arrested by masked goons, then a quote from Roberts and the immunity decision.

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

"ChatGPT said" should have all the cachet of "I asked an opinionated 14 year old"

There's a new sheriff in town

I know you shouldn’t time the market but, like, this all seems pretty obviously bad for stocks? Is there a compelling reason to not rebalance my accounts away from these market segments?

At long last, a new post on my blog! I dug into the @obsidian.md Bases View API to learn about how plugin authors can implement their own custom Bases views. Check it out for a peek at the API, plus a walkthrough of building your own Calendar view! alexlafroscia.com/tech/2025/ma...
