if this is the thing that gets him to become self-aware and deconstruct his way out of fascism it will be the funniest thing that has ever happened

What Is Code Review For? Code review is not for catching bugs.

I've recently written about why that is also wrong, since it's a misunderstanding of what "code review" should really be: blog.glyph.im/2026/03/what...

there was a typo, I didn’t mean β€œinfluenceβ€œ I meant β€œinterface”. like an SQL prompt for public consumption. this is definitely one of those pages. if you could just arbitrarily query β€œpeople born between these two dates” there is no way that this as a β€œpage” would make sense

I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE.

Donations are down, but ICE is very much still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help?

so where does the next generation of talent come from? who are the young journalists, and how are they paid? every career incentive, both economic and prestige-wise, now points to the olivia nuzzi route

I do have a question that I wish guys like Newsom or Rahm Emanuel would answer: when they say things about how Democrats spend too much time on "pronouns" or whatever, what, exactly, are they talking about? How much time is being spent on this? And what are you *actually* recommending?

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

it’s okay, he doesn’t need the percentage point, he will joyfully sacrifice groups of vulnerable people to reactionary bullies just for the love of the game

The public values authenticity in public figures above almost everything else.

The fact that Newsom was a standard center-left politician and is now shifting to the right will alienate him from both his old constituency and his new one.

Have Democrats really not learned their lesson on this?

β€œI vocally supported immigration for years but then turned on immigrants to win votes” does not endear you to pro-immigrant voters or anti-immigrant voters.

It’s the same with every other issue. This is *the* reason people hate politicians, they’re wormy and fake.

For the record, Oren Cass is simply not an economist. He does not have the training. He has never practiced. β€œChief Economist” is a deliberately deceptive title.

excuse me, open the oven door every *5 minutes*? or is this supposed to be an oven with remote manipulator gloves in it? why not just leave the door open all the time and get your whole kitchen to a nice toasty 350F and just wave the potatoes around in the air

so much clothing is marketed as "conversation starters" but as an introvert, i want "conversation enders." no more talking. let me go home.

*sigh* here we go again. Your phone is not listening to everything around you 24/7 for advertising purposes. *If* you have voice activation on for the assistant, the mic is listening for the activation phrase: the processing power for listening for a single specific phrase is much lower.

ugh. true. closely related to the β€œesoteric fictionalism” that Dan Olson pointed out, I think. crank superstition as a form of folk religion

SUPERB discussion between @volts.wtf & @michaelhobbes.bsky.social on reactionary centrismβ€”the β€œwoke left” gets criticized for β€œsuppressing debate” yet the damage done by the extreme right is ignored

Their discussions of anti-vaxxer RFK Jr & of the lab leak conspiracy theory is really excellent

90% of conservative political analysis is just "this group I don't like does this thing I don't understand due to motivations I made up."

We literally have an organization called β€œNeighbors for More Neighbors.” Everywhere I go I see some neighbors and I’m always happy to see them. Some are young, some are old, some are black, some are white, who cares. It’s called community and the degenerate fascist freaks can never understand
