This is a wrenching, thorough analysis of yesterday’s homicide by an ICE agent. It’s disturbing, so exercise discretion in deciding whether to watch. But I believe this is a moment in which we cannot simply look away, and that we have a moral and civic obligation to know the facts and seek justice.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

🎁Gift article: I highly rec this article from conservative David French. It is a longer, but well worth it to put things a historical perspective. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/o...

I had a health scare in December resulting in ER visit. Turns out I'm anemic. Giving blood every two months isn't sustainable for me. I've been taking iron for two weeks and the difference is notable. I was so tired in 2025. I think this has been going on much longer than I realized. Let's go 2026!

Good thread. A reminder how heartening and significant it is that the American people are resounding rejecting the Trump/Miller worldview and agenda:

he can name everything after himself like DC is his own personal failed casino. it doesn’t matter. the moment he’s outta power it all comes down. i’ll show up with a chisel and pry that shit off the building myself.

YAAAAASSSS!! So excited for the Thorns next year.

Is no one ever embarrassed by this kind of outcome?

Shopify’s Winter 2025 release is out. I want to learn about it, but the web page has too much animation on it. Since my dog gave me a concussion earlier this year, I can’t handle that much motion. The page doesn’t honor my reduce motion setting. :( www.shopify.com/editions/…

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

POLITICO: I wonder what grade you'd give the economy TRUMP: A+ POLITICO: A+? TRUMP: A+++++

As things stand now, the NWSL isn’t fighting for Trinity Rodman. It’s fighting against her, and shadowboxing with its own potential in the process. A column, at @theathletic.com: www.nytimes.com/athletic/687...

I've said this multiple times, but it's just so obvious that it behooves the NWSL, each NWSL club, the decision-makers in the league office, to keep Rodman (who by all accounts is leaving money on the table!) in the NWSL. The existing arguments to the contrary simply do not hold water.

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

They're not even trying to appear nonpartisan anymore.

If you’re a government lawyer who tried to warn superiors that the orders were illegal, get a lawyer. You have rights. You have options to comply with your Oath, protect national security and still raise the alarm lawfully. Oversight is coming. Scrutiny is coming. Lawyer up.

It’s time for folks at DoD and in the IC to start lawyering up. If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer. If you’re a soldier, seaman or airman who was forced to execute them, get a lawyer.

When you ask how Germans became immune to the horrors of Nazism during the 30s, remember that this is now 2025 and this crap is being said in the greatest democracy on the planet.

It’s been a month. I’ve turned on tinting. Liquid Glass is still terrible. At least once a day, I encounter something that makes me sigh. I hope next year’s OSes take a big step forward. This is sad.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

Oooh. Super excited about this Ursula K. Le Guin exhibit. Limited time through Feb 8 at Oregon Contemporary. www.portlandmercury.com/visual-ar…

Last month I wrote about how charging Jim Comey only made it more likely that Trump could charge Kash or Pam Bondi, meaning they were both slaves to his and Stephen Miller's whims. I mentioned Andrew Bailey, waiting in the wings. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/08/h...

In my latest @cloudfour.com article, I share some notes and patterns we used for writing tests for HTML Light DOM Web Components using Testing Library & Vitest. Hope you enjoy! 🎉😄 cloudfour.com/thinks/testi...

It is particularly galling that Trump is calling for the execution of people who actually served honorably in the military, while he took a bone spur exemption and famously boasted that his Vietnam was dodging syphilis in 70s New York. Just a historically loathsome figure by any measure.

Trump over on Truth Social is spending this morning calling for the arrest, expulsion and "DEATH" by execution of Democratic Congress members

He’s calling for the execution of congressional military veterans.

There's "new information"? But only about Democrats who interacted with Epstein? And this only prompted a new investigation after Trump publicly said these people should be investigated? Looks like she is lying, lying, lying.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

"We are hearing the administration say they intend to investigate various Dems who were friends with Epstein. I beg you President Trump -- please stop making this political. It is not about you. Show some class. I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment."

Today’s Cloudflare outage reminded me of something I’ve occasionally wondered about: where do CDN companies host their status pages? Does Cloudflare contract with a competitor to host their status page? Multiple competitors? AWS status page on Google? Google status on Azure?

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."

Why are all of the Apple OS 26 icons blurry? Is that intentional?

Daily reminder that this ridiculous person has lost his mind and it's unbelievable it's not a central issue in our politics.

Stop me if you've heard this before: If the NYT still had a public editor, that person would have official standing to ask, WTF??? They axed the public editor. So it's up to the rest of us to ask, unofficially, WTF???

Seems like a full court press by Apple to get developers to adopt Liquid Glass and trying to teach how to do it well. Multiple emails about it recently. A design gallery. I suspect there is a lot of resistance to adopting it fully. But Apple is pot committed at this point.

I’ve seen one-time passcode (“OTP”) interfaces cause undue stress in otherwise level-headed #WebDev teams. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be complicated: cloudfour.com/thinks/simpl... #HTML #CSS #JavaScript

Same take here, and also had Coffey in my *MVP* Top 5.

#NWSL awards season shenanigans is an annual tradition, and the Midfielder of the Year shortlist having NEITHER Taylor Flint NOR Sam Coffey is egregious, baffling stuff.

There must be thousands of companies offering AI sales and lead generation services. Either that or someone who hates me put me on the worst email list ever. Every day it’s another company trying to convince us that they can use AI to generate leads.
