Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

guy who is mad at Nolan’s Odyssey because it depicts the sea as blue instead of wine-dark

what do I do if I am already experiencing those

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

Atmospheric CO₂ of 340 ppm

Once again: close an area to cars, business *increases*. Every time. And yet every new proposal to close an area to cars meets the same resistance from business owners. I'm starting to wonder whether business owners really are rational self-interest maximizers, I tell you!

People refuse to believe it and most who do believe it usually shrug it off but US prisons and jails are in fact torture chambers. Conditions are HORRIFIC across the board. People are OK with this on the whole.

tech companies used to be called like “Babinko!” and now they’re all called “Porch”

I feel the same way about AI as I do about the internet—both could be incredibly valuable contributions to society if they’re managed for the public good. In the hands of fascist tech billionaires, they’re a threat the civilization. It’s not the tech, it’s the ownership structure.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

In some ways worse than today’s kayfabe parade of right wing operatives. They’re more dishonest, but bad faith is what they do. News reporters and analysis playing dumb about the context here have no excuse.

They think you're stupid.

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

Troubleshooting CI/CD is so much easier with Claude's help. And it's still terrible.

Budapest tonight The biggest street party you ever saw

We didn't clear house following Reconstruction or following the Civil Rights Movement and we absolutely have to do it next time.

If you want to see what true community looks like, look to Hawaiians. 💕 If you’re looking for what you can do to help, stormkokua.com is a great place to offer support from afar. (Please DON’T self-deploy to affected regions like the O’ahu north shore.)

We all know this is fascism.

if I saw this at a protest I would burst into tears, this is killer PS one of the most enraging facts I’ve ever learned about anything is that apparently Trump loves this musical and this song in particular. nothing has ever been more Not For You, you sack of shit!! you are LITERALLY Thenardier!!!

While a candidate, @mayor.nyc.gov pledged to commit 0.5% of the city’s budget to public libraries. Unfortunately, Mayor Mamdani has broken this promise in his preliminary FY27 budget, released yesterday, where he allocated 0.39% to libraries. This amount is well below the promised 0.5%

Michael Jackson was the greatest and I miss him.

This was exactly my fear, I just didn't know how to articulate it. Exactly this.

There is maybe nothing in software engineering more exasperating than an architecture diagram.

@pcwalton.bsky.social I'm curious how terathon.com/blog/decade-... compares to your Pathfinder work!

and they didn't even get to "Ralph Wiggum"

Amazing quote from The Pitt: "Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast."

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

If you’re still looking for last minute Ides-gift ideas!

Ms Rachel talking to Deiver Henao, a 9yo in an immigration detention center www.instagram.com/reel/DVzUzoz... What a world

I don’t know if I’m ADHD, all I know is, ear buds are undefeated against me. “I want my ear buds but they’re dead. I’ll charge them later, can’t use them now anyway.” “I want my ear buds but they’re dead. I’ll charge them later, can’t use them now anyway.” …

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Interesting counter-perspective. Still digesting…

Very interesting proposal! First blush reactions: - building on symbols and prototypes feels very thoughtful, the right primitives for safe independent extension and “going with the grain of JS” - not sure I agree that the sugar needed is for creating getters for *all* methods of a protocol

Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

“The Greater Masshole-Minnesota Sovereignty traces its origins to a pair of unrelated incidents: the Battle of Minneapolis in winter 2026 and the Dunkin Uprising that spring.” —The Decline and Fall of the United States vol III, 2279

She’s a serious candidate; at this point I think most people dismissing her seriousness are at least partially motivated by misogyny; and this is a clearer articulation of a progressive foreign policy than I’ve seen anyone else running for office make

Don’t really need the money but I can spare 10 minutes of my weekend to be petty to a bigco that might or might not fight for a government refund, and probably would pocket it anyway.

putting a "i bought this before he went crazy" sticker on my 2000s McAfee cd

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

I don't want or need a president that silences the conversations that protect people that aren't "culturally normal.🤡" That's how fascists chip away at the base of good people. I do want and need a president that will prioritize protecting the most vulnerable. That's how you protect people.

as far as i can tell “bio hacking” is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

Anyone know why there are military airplanes flying back and forth along the San Francisco coast?

This is anecdotal, but I've recently noticed several small, plucky outlets that formed in the past few years get big stories/scoops — or at least get more attention for doing so. These are mostly worker-owned, subscription-based publications. Seems like a good sign for journalism if they do well.

I think Edge is halfway there with workspaces (synced, shareable, named, persistent groups of tabs) but I really need browsers to reinvent themselves as tab managers. Why are tab groups the most granular option? why can't I tag tabs with icons and notes to remind myself why I've left them open?

Julie K. Brown deserves every last flower. She has done so, so much for so many survivors of atrocity, for lighting truth where those with power tried to bury it. This is what a free press is, does, can do. But it takes so much risk & guts. She is a brave hero and we are so indebted to her.

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.
