It's a rough day to work on low level system software for a living. Every device around me saying it's January 1st makes me momentarily think there's some kind of clock failure.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

I feel like "Business Center" is a better euphemism for "toilets" than "Restrooms".

This thread of four tweets offers a neat mental model for working with coding agents

Each of these 3000 people was someone's everything.

What these people are doing to the power of calling out real antisemitism, in an incredibly dangerous time of surging global antisemitism….man, it is just so worrisome

I'm not convinced that LLM coding agents are appropriate for writing actual production code, but I sure do enjoy being able to get them to write prototypes. From my phone. Right now Jules is iterating on an implementation of a language I've wanted to try creating for years. JS-like syntax but lazy.

Prison guards: - Watched a woman experiencing psychosis gouge out her own eyeballs. - Ignored a man’s beeping insulin pump for more than 24 hours before he died. - Left a man sitting in his own feces not eating for weeks, he lost 60 lbs before he died. All in San Diego County, last ~5 years.

🤡There's never been a time in US history where people expect you to apologize *for being white*. People expect you to apologize*for being pro-racism*. Worldwide, fewer than half of all white people are pro-racism.♥️ In the US it takes an active disinfo campaign to keep the pro-racism group > 50%.

Stop calling them "Jewish settlements". Stealing peoples' land has nothing to do with Judaism. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

It sure was creepy to have a couple of guys knocking on my door this afternoon saying that they're "visiting all of the Jewish homes in the area".

"To see those... those... monkeys from those African countries... Damn them! They're still uncomfortable wearing shoes!" - Ronald Reagan

Venezuela is not completely surrounded by an armada, because Venezuela is not an island. Also, Venezuela nationalized its oil industry in 1976, when Hugo Chávez was 21 and Nicolás Maduro was 13.

Depressing to wake up to a mass shooting in Bondi.

It's distressing and sad that the BBC is choosing bigotry over the future of one of my favourite shows. It is however nice to find that @robinince.bsky.social, whose work I've enjoyed for many years, is a man of principle. I'm looking forward to following him to the next thing.

Linda Reynolds is one of the very worst people. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

As of today, the only person in this Daily Penn visual that hasn't been fined millions of dollars or convicted of a felony is Luigi Mangione, believe it or not

heyyyy @kickstarterunited.org GOT THAT CONTRACT put the whole thing online too, bless ’em

Just because they arrived in a helicopter doesn't make it not piracy

Counterpoint: I don't think the US constitution is all that great, but I support birthright citizenship.

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

The rhetoric today is nearly indistinguishable from Know-Nothing rhetoric about the Irish, the Italians, and the Jews.

100% the lawyers said "you can't do that," and 100% the deciders (including) POTUS said "who cares, there are no consequences." And that is 100% the fault of SCOTUS and its wretched unitarism, fully immunized.

Celebrate Cyber Monday the traditional way: a/s/l?

At least it's mostly going to be Americans that he kills, and we voted for it.

INSPIRING: do you have a gambling problem and read the news? this man figured out a way to take advantage of you, and he doesn't even have a college degree

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

Why have Google, Facebook, Amazon, Intel and others been buying land from the property development company formerly run by Jeffrey Epstein, the New Albany Company?

If you are somehow young enough to have never watched Brazil, I do recommend it. Very important movie about ducts.

My parents in law keep getting spam calls. Is there a way to turn on call screening on iPhone like there is on Pixel phones?

Another asylum seeker who undermined our culture?

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

Lil Jon doing a very Lazy-Town-coded performance at the Thanksgiving parade... See: youtu.be/G5KxZ5Lc_YA?...

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

ProTip: don't fuck your coworker.

And don't forget that George Washington himself committed treason. He was a militia Colonel and then led an armed rebellion against the government he had sworn to serve.

I'm visiting New Albany, Ohio (the town build by Jeffrey Epstein) for thanksgiving and BlueSky says I need to verify my age?

The media doesn't treat the Trump regime's allegiances with neo-Nazis like Nick Fuentes as antisemitism, but Zohran's belief in Palestinian liberation is treated as antisemitism. It's completely backwards and insane. Zohran will protect American Jews; the fascists will target American Jews.

When we got our first computer my little brother was better than me at video games. Then I worked out that I could write code on it. A few years later I read @stevenlevy.bsky.social's Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution and I found a context for it all.

I guess expelling all of the Jewish people from the country is a way to combat antisemitism. Not one I'm in favour of - I'd miss my kids - but this is why I don't vote Republican.

Pretty cool that Rust is big enough to take down the internet. :D

The Nvidia record revenue and profit is a bad sign, actually. It's like Cisco in 1999 all over again, but on a much larger scale. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"UNDERAGE WOMEN" ARE GIRLS "UNDERAGE WOMEN" ARE CHILDREN thank you for your attention to this matter

I find it comforting that at this time of increasingly brazen bigotry, that the American right hates the Clintons enough to make them refrain from using Epstein and Maxwell as an excuse to push more antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Maybe we could consider deporting South African white supremacists instead of offering them asylum? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I bet Reid Hoffman feels like an idiot for not donating to the ballroom: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

The crossing guard at my kids school is an older trans woman. I think she's only recently transitioned. I don't know her and really only just exchange greetings, but I love seeing her try on different looks as she's coming into her own.

Yeah, the original promise of free software was *lots of people* being able to fix and customize their software to their needs. There are new and different challenges here, but that promise is much more within reach right now than it has been.

today is Europe's 9/11
