it's 1990 something and I'm wearing jeans with a hammer loop, an open flannel shirt over a Beavis and Butthead T-shirt, and Chuck Taylors to the coffee shop and trying one of these "cappucinos" before going to the $2 second-run showing of a Van Damme movie

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Not just brilliant but also, in our modern reading comprehension environment, brave.

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.

I understood like half of that sentence, and I'm a _little_ tempted to go down the rabbit hole and figure out what the rest of it means. But also worried that I might go mad trying.

The idea that there’s some unprecedented threat now is a pretext to dodge accountability, but pretending to take it seriously for a moment: If the cops are so widely reviled by the citizenry that they need to dress like criminals… maybe that’s a sign you’re doing something wrong.

Also, yet again, we have 250 years of history, much of it pretty turbulent, during which law enforcement were not afraid to show their faces.

There's an entire (and very important) clause missing in front of that second quote.

I think a good start would be for everyone to start saying "President Miller". If Donny hears it enough he might get jealous and kick Miller to the curb.

I Made A Game To See If I Could I spent a few days building a game so I could learn the Godot game engine and the GDScript programming language.

A while ago I spent a couple days making a game so I could learn Godot and GDScript. It was a lot of fun, and I learned a ton. I thought I'd share the code in case it helps anyone else who's getting started with making games.

Read the write-up (and play the game) here:

Can we stop reporting "thing Donny said on his sad little blog" as "thing that is actually happening"? If this is a real tariff, point to the documentation. If it's just bloviating, ignore it.

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.

Very few people who say β€œabolish ICE” mean β€œabandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean β€œthe structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”

I've always assumed at _least_ a week-long "Weekend At Bernie's" scenario.

If he's wearing sunglasses one day, we'll all know why.

I feel like there's still a decent chance these chuds don't know where stuff is in the cloud and/or how to delete it. I'm betting there's some accidental backups, some forum posts, some archived chats, maybe a discarded laptop...

Trying not to think too hard about the fact I just comfortably took down the outdoor Christmas decorations wearing shorts and a T-shirt.
