"Watching the Mamdani campaign from afar during the primary, so many things were impressive, among them the incredible work his online video team was doing. This is my story about how they did it." defector.com/selling-zohran

I've started a subreddit r/SillyLittleWebsites "Rotating Sandwiches" www.reddit.com/r/sillylittl...?

Every vote counts. If voting didn't make a difference, Republicans wouldn't spend so much effort on voter suppression.

I've created a subreddit for small, little, fun websites that don't require registration or have pop ups. Just silly little websites. I'd like you to contribute: www.reddit.com/r/sillylittl...

Search engines are useless and just give me garbage. We're going to have to go old school and publish print book directories of real websites like we did in the 90s.

Between Gitmo, the Department of "Homeland Security," the Hague Invasion Act, extraordinary rendition, torture gulags, No Child Left Behind, the Patriot Act, and the Great Recession, Bush and Cheney did more to enable the rise of Trump and fascism in the US than almost anyone in the 21st century.

how many Americans do you think will understand that CBS was bought by a right wing billionaire and will soon no longer be reliable, if you were to poll them?

“every time theres a republican president the economy collapses” feels like pretty easy messaging on the economy

Wait, the whole Tylenol lie was just another piece of wildly illegal market manipulation and insider trading? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/b...

It's important to recognize the purple/blue gradient text of AI-generated web apps so you can have an appropriate level of skepticism:

The Grapes of Wrath was published in 1939.

Grocery stores throw out far more food than is shoplifted. "Why don't shoplifters just take the food from the dumpster then?" Because they have cameras on the dumpsters and security will be sent out when they see them on the monitors. This isn't new. Grapes of Wrath was published in 1939:

They do this every year, in every city. (Also, the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act of 1996 provides protection for people giving away food. So no one has liability as an excuse.)

You get thirty people organized to push their carts out the door to a waiting vehicle with covered plates, their security and employees will just watch. Actually, you could do it with twenty people. BTW, you ever see how much grocery stores throw in the dumpster *every day*?

There never was a ceasefire.

I love being at a cafe and eavesdropping on two older women and hearing one of them say, "These motherfuckers..."

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

If you're voting for Zohran Mamdani, you can vote for him on the Working Family Party and/or Democratic Party. If WFP gets enough votes, they’re automatically on the next ballot in four years. Very important!

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

My only use of python these days is as a calculator in my shell, but you gotta support people doing the right thing.

I saw this same thing in Seattle during the George Floyd protests.

You know the part of the cop show where they invoke right to an attorney & one shows up in a couple hours? Yeah that’s not really how it works You will need to be quiet for a long time They may make you feel like you need to get your own lawyer & maybe you do! But maybe you end up waiting it out

people who aren't deeply yimbypilled have no conception of how much building codes are just written by random "technocrats" with no connection to either voters or actual expertise

Asking people to cancel their Washington Post subscription is not an extreme position. Abolishing ICE and closing down Guantanamo Bay is not an extreme position. Ostracizing the guy with the Nazi tattoo on his chest from the Democratic Party is not an extreme position.

Intolerable. Americans are being treated like citizens of a conquered territory

As a Texan, I can tell you this is true, though you can only pull it off if you're white. George W Bush is the main example of this.

I'm using AI to do a task that I think AI could do. My expectations were low but it still disappoints me. Tell me I just need to improve my prompt or try a different model if you want me to block you.

Here's the thing about tattoo artists: If you have a Nazi tattoo, they'll do a cover up for free. There's only one reason someone has a Nazi tattoo.

Remember those times i said we were headed for an epistemic crisis because bad people were gonna use deepfakes to make propaganda & conspiracy theories & destabilize consensus reality-making & how the central paradigm of "generative AI" enables, encourages, & was indeed built on this premise? Yeah.

It's also hard to convey just how much ICE is *everywhere*. The city, the suburbs, in and out in the blink of an eye. A crew doing smash and grab jobs across a massive expanse of distance. Part of the reason whistle distro is so important is because you will never know where/when you will need it.

Anyone interested in a project to help Python? I want to add links on my popular Python book's domain to the official Python docs so they get better SEO rankings. Contact me if you realistically have time to do this.

It's stuff like this that proves the "free marketplace" and "competition" is a naive fantasy for people who think capitalism operates like a lemonade stand. It's not the government creating this information asymmetry, it's the corporations themselves!

a reminder that ICE received an astonishing influx of money with the megabill this summer: boltsmag.org/how-the-gop-...

A person with a Nazi tattoo on their chest is 1) a bad person and 2) not a good person. Make racists afraid again. The only thing they should be running for is their goddamn lives.

It took a long time, and a lot of trial and error, for me to go from a politics based around protest to a politics of organizing for power. I hope my journey can save you a whole lot of time. www.jphilll.com/p/my-journey...

Gentle reminder that if you’re stuck in the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem for whatever reason, you can start the cancellation process, select “too expensive” as your cancellation reason, and there should be a 50% off rate on the next screen.

Not once in my 30 year experience with Windows has Windows Troubleshooter ever found the problem. Not a single time.

Do you or someone you personally know have or ever have a "smart fridge" that could tell them when their milk has expired? Is this a thing that has EVER existed in reality?

Gonna extrapolate this to The Whole Republican Party and also Every Cop

Hey, I have some... old jewelry that I'm selling, if anyone's interested. It's just... old... jewelry... very fancy, uh, but also nothing special. DM me if you know someone who'd be interested.

Today in slogans to embroider on cushions:

The Austin police department shot me in the chest with a less lethal round for trying to help a person off the ground during a protest. They fired tear gas at anti ICE protesters a few months ago. Do not be foolish enough to embrace them.
