I don't think I can eat that much Judaism every day
The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.
I wrote about what it tells us that Martin Buber, a proud Zionist during his life, would probably be considered an anti-Zionist by the standards of what the word means today. www.jta.org/2026/02/09/i...
I wrote about what we talk about when we talk about Anne Frank. religiondispatches.org/2026/02/05/f...
"In the streets, in the schools, in the Signal threads, in all our places of healing and justice, we are as locusts."
A dvar Torah from occupied Minneapolis by Joey Glick:
STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET. MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS YOU ONLY WEAR WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS. DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING." DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP. TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR, LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME, "WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON." NOT METAPHOR. NOT HYPERBOLE. A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK. PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK. PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED. UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL. UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS. STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM. STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM." STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH. YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE LIKE A LULLABY, WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE. YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO "HEAL THE LAND" IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND. THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH. THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING. THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM. THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT. AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT. IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD. GROWTH ALWAYS IS.

Our researchers found at least 450 posts on Telegram dating back to 2020 that shared the song mentioned in this reporting.
Nearly all the posts we found were from explicitly neo-Nazi and white supremacist channels. And a review of our datasets found it hasn't circulated much outside those circles.
Great question!
It’s not just about whether or not the gyre is widening – its that the falcon cannot hear the Falconer. In today’s blood-dimmed world, it’s a game-changer that many don’t consider.
The kicker? A beast that is rough, slouching, and born.
Beth is good and JCA is good and this piece is excruciating but good:
A Venn Diagram. One circle is labeled "Minneapolis" and the other is "Also Minneapolis" and the overlapping section says "FUCK ICE."
I spent a bunch of this evening picturing this Venn Diagram in my head. I feel like all my local peeps will understand.
Governor Walz came to my kids school for Hanukkah today, but per my daughter the highlight of school was "I don't know, I can't remember".

It's pretty great here! Looking forward to having SciPy where I live again - sad when it left ATX, then I moved, and now it's back where I live again hooray.
Not my youngest pointing at an octopus and emphatically yelling "Bunny Rabbit!"
The best part of a seder is Koreich, where we remember the time a guy made a sandwich by recreating that sandwich. 10/10 tradition.
Watching Raiders of the Lost Ark - inexplicably feeling a sudden urge to see some Nazis getting punched.
Thanks for the ping and the kind words. The inconsistency here is due less to an intentional choice and more a compromise of efficiency vs correctness. I do think I can fix this with some work though - would you mind opening an issue to track?
Duckdb does something like this. Discussions for all feature requests or usage questions. Only bug reports with all needed info are valid as non-core-team-created issues. github.com/duckdb/duckd...
The update process is super buggy too. Two weeks of forgetting how to sleep or calm down, then they wake up calm and suddenly able to walk.
I was playing proto-typing @jcristharif.bsky.social's msgspec to (de)serialize a big nested python object. Converting the object to a dict using `msgspec.to_builtins` was 50x faster than my current recursive method and json serialization was 7x faster than `json.dumps` for serializing the dict.
Yay, glad to hear it!
True. "Practicality beats purity" I guess 🤷 - relying on recursion in the parser eases the implementation, and seems to be fine for typical use. All software is tradeoffs, I'm happy enough with the ones I've made here.
Sure. We do respect the python `sys.setrecursionlimit` setting though, so you can increase the recursion depth if needed (on modern systems the stack is pretty big).
In what application do you see json nested enough where this matters?
Curious - is github.com/jcrist/msgspec insufficient for your needs (and if so, in what way)?
Today's preschooler meltdown brought to you by Judy Garland singing "somewhere over the rainbow" while our resident tyrant is certain it's "*someway* over the rainbow", and "she's singing it wrong" 🌈🌈
LLMs are bad because it's unethical to force a computer to read so many reddit posts
It will be three years next week that I have not owned a car. I could easily afford one. I have kids who do activities & stuff. I live in part of St Paul with ok transit & mediocre bike facilities. But, we have to make different choices if those kids will have a future. Here are some reflections. 🧵
Everyone who just joined and is looking for Python people to connect with, I made a "starter pack" with many of the fun accounts. Add them to your followers list, #python:

A very serious line chart illustrating "Time from ideation to dissemination" crossing the x axis into negative territory.
Given the rate at which time from ideation to dissemination is decreasing, it's only a matter of time before we reach the posting-before-you-think-of-it tipping point.
This is a very serious chart.
