I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Brian McGinnis' wife has
NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital.
He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries.
Legal counsel has also been denied access.
A Marine veteran.
A firefighter.
A father of four.
And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

"he's just stupid! i find this plausible because i am also stupid!" is objectively a weird angle people keep trying to take on this. if you've studied WW2 for years you know what it is. if you watch an hour of the history channel falling asleep on the couch every day you know what it is

a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.

Kid came home with a 3D printed ICE whistle one of her classmates gave out to everyone and knew exactly what to do and what it is used for. I'm happy she has one, but I'm sad she needs to.

My 9 year old does active shooter drills and knows the government is kidnapping her friends and their parents

How have crime rates in the United States changed over the last 50 years? Both violent and property crime are far below their 1990s peak, but some crimes see periodic rises.

Looking at the 2024 crime figures, it's absolutely insane how Trump, tech billionaires, and centrist pundits fooled everyone into thinking Biden had turned the U.S. into some Hobbesian hellscape.

50-year lows for violent crime, armed robbery, property crime. Second-lowest homicide rate.

"Between 1856 and 1859 a young girl named Emily Mary Madden filled a small sketchbook with drawings of her family's cat, Mouton. Emily was born in 1848 which means she was about 8-11 when she made these illustrations"

I love you, Emily. You're a wonderful artist. We draw our cats in the future too.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

On February 13, 2026, Petitioner [REDACTED] filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas
Corpus. Dkt. 1. The same day, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause requiring
Respondents to respond to the Petition no later than February 17, 2026. Dkt. 4 at ¶ 1. That
order also required Respondents to file all their supporting documentation by February 17,
2026. Id. at ¶ 2. On February 18, 2026, Respondents late-filed their response to the Petition
along with a declaration and single exhibit. Dkts. 5–6. Around two hours later, the Court
issued an order requiring Respondents to file a declaration and exhibits references in the
late-filed Response but not filed with the court, along with a declaration explaining the
reason for filing late, within 24 hours. Dkt. 7. Respondents finally filed the balance of their
supporting documentation by 4:06 P.M, February 18.1 Dkt. 9.
Respondents never moved the Court for an extension of time to file their response
or supporting documentation. Third Declaration o f[REDACTED] in Response to

Assistant U.S. Attorney [REDACTED], Counsel for Respondents offers a host of
limp excuses for filing late. First, AUSA [REDACTED] admits he was fine with violating the
Court’s scheduling order, instructing his staff that it was okay to “file before midnight if
possible or early Wednesday morning.” 3d. [REDACTED] Decl. at ¶ 3. His excuse for the late
filing of the response itself is risible: support staff was offline and, in [REDACTED] own words,
“I do not know how to file documents through CMECF.” Id. This is no excuse. The Court’s
order makes no exception for staff unavailability or the failure of an attorney to know the
basic functions of their profession.2 See Order to Show Cause, Dkt. 3.
Further, Counsel for Respondents admits he was not prepared to file all of the
documentation the Response relied upon even at that late date. As he points out, he only
requested a copy of the travel document after the Court’s order to respond further. 3d.
[REDACTED] Decl. at ¶ 6 (“Upon receipt of the Court’s Order, ECF No. 7, I immediately
contacted ICE and requested the travel document referenced in the [REDACTED] Declaration as
it had not been provided to me earlier.”). It is troubling that Counsel for Respondents
knowingly referenced documents he did not have, had not seen, and seemingly had no plans
to see until the Court ordered them produced. See, e.g., Response to Petition for Writ of
Habeas Corpus, Dkt. 5 at 2, 4 (hereinafter “Response”). Besides the potential ethical issues
that filing without ever seeing relied-up evidence raises,3 it evinces a total lack of respect
for Petitioner’s rights and the Court’s order. Counsel for Respondents apologies to the
Court and below-signed counsel for the late filing. 3d. [REDACTED] Decl. at ¶ 10. Wherefore
Petitioner, who has been unconstitutionally detained for two months?

2 Counsel for Petitioner will note that he can somehow manage to file documents through
CM/ECF himself without the resources and might of the Federal Government…

Feds blew a deadline in one of my habeas cases. Didn't file everything until 4pm the next day. Court ordered the AUSA to explain why he filed late. His response? It was 11:30pm and “I do not know how to file documents through CMECF.”

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

A federal tool to check voter citizenship keeps making mistakes. It led to confusion in Texas | Houston Public Media DHS rolled out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.
