This was the week that comedy pushed back South Park skewered President Trump. Stephen Colbert isn't holding back. This week, comedians on Paramount-owned shows aired their grievances against both their parent company and Trump.

Watkins Glen Burlington Finger Lakes NE Ride (Click through for photos, maps, and more) -- I've been invited up to Burlington, ON for Brooklyn's Dad's 60th birthday party. I haven't gone on a decent ride in way too long, so I'm taking the Oil Bu...

I'm planning a little 10 day motorcycle adventure up through the Finger Lakes Region on to points beyond.

30 Years of JavaScript: 10 Milestones That Changed the Web From its 1995 creation at Netscape, to ECMAScript in 1997, to jQuery, Node.js and React in the 21st century, JavaScript has had a wild run.

If you told me back then that I'd now be doing this level of work in Javascript, I would have called you nuts.

Writing software is a creative process that involves a lot of deep thinking about paths and interconnected elements. AI can generate what looks like polished code with some extremely opaque and difficult to debug problems that don't follow the pattern of typical bugs you see humans create.

How Capacitor Works This blog post was originally written and published by Max Lynch on August 13th, 2020. This post has been edited as well as updated for content and links. Capacitor is a cross-platform native runtime ...

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

The courts need to step up and quickly. But I wonder if they have the guts.

The number of different electronic devices I carry with me on my motorcycle adventures is a bit nuts.

Chattahoochee BDR-X Down and Back (Click through for photos, maps, and more) -- I've been invited to join some BDR riders to ride the Chattahoochee BDR-X.

Run Moore Shoes Pickup Ride (Click through for photos, maps, and more) -- The shoes have come in. It's time to go pick them up.

I used the need to go pick up some shoes as an excuse to take a longer ride. This turned into quite a good ride through skinny roads in Northern Maryland:

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

If the Marshals Go Rogue, Courts Have Other Ways to Enforce their Orders Opinion | Even a rogue marshal’s service is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law.

This answers a long standing question I have had for years. Apparently, the courts do have an option for enforcing their rulings if the Marshal's Service decides to go rogue.

This is slightly encouraging.

So you can take over Greenland and Canada but can’t send a plane to pick up someone you are paying another country to hold for a year? Weird take on sovereignty.

The Constitutional Crisis Is Here Trump’s administration is only pretending to comply with the Supreme Court on the matter of a Maryland man it deported erroneously.

Maybe we should rename “Law Enforcement” to “Whim Enforcement”.

‘Like a horror movie’: Ice detaining German tourist in California indefinitely Jessica Brösche has spent more than a month in detention center after being denied entry at San Diego from Mexico

Even if it were a violation, the legal answer is "You may not enter the country with that equipment" not indefinite detention without recourse.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

What's the worst DOGE could do with all the information systems it has access to?

I really don't think it's about money or tax cuts.

My hypothesis is that it gives them incredible leverage to blackmail anyone in Congress or elsewhere in positions of power.

Donald Trump promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid.

This week, his friends in DC voted for a bill that would leave 3.4 million Illinoisans, including 1.4 million children, in the dust.

Another middle finger to working families and the most vulnerable in our state.

One Word Describes Trump A century ago, a German sociologist explained precisely how the president thinks about the world.

This is an /excellent/ article that describes the current "administration" to a tee.

And it provides a roadmap how to fight back which makes a tremendous amount of sense.

I know the chance it slim that you'll see this, but @aoc.bsky.social read this.

I've started following WebAssembly developments. In my Adv-Traveler app (in development) my client side photo resizing is very slow especially under iOS. So I wondered if maybe there was a web assembly image library.

I'm going to give this a try.

This is concerning. Everything I've built is built on top of Ionic/Angular and Capacitor. If it goes away, I'm hosed.
