The "swift surgical" approach works exactly once, on exactly the right target, under exactly the right preconditions. And this administration apparently looked at the one time it worked and concluded it was a generalizable method rather than a specific convergence of very particular circumstances. 🤦
I made a new thing.
It's system tray app that turns any highlighted text into speech using kokorojs. Streams long documents in chunks so playback starts instantly. Word-by-word highlighting synced to audio. All running locally.
It's all open source: steadyvoice.tech

Let's be honest. Local TTS usually sucks. So I fixed it. And wrote about it.

I didn’t expect this piece to resonate the way it did.
If you’re curious about the discourse around AI in the development community, the comment section turned into a surprisingly clear microcosm of it.

Joy is looking at your teenage kids and just thinking "yeah, they're doing it right."
The question is not "to AI or not to AI" anymore. It's "how are you using it?"

This one’s for the parents who carry everything quietly, and the partners who actually see them.

After 30 years writing code, I've learned the hardest part isn't the tech—it's caring about quality when everyone around you has decided "good enough" is good enough.

Thanks for the imposter syndrome, @nonzerosumjames.bsky.social 😂♥️
It’s strange that no one acknowledges AI ethics is really a fight with ourselves. We wrote the training set. The more we hate online, the harder alignment becomes. The tool isn’t the problem. We are. We always were. And always will be.

Today is not the time to resign yourself to the comfort of cruel stability. Today is the time to stand up, find a way to make the world around you better, and find someone nearby who can help you make that happen.
Sometimes you just need to say: one thing is designed to justify why some people deserve to suffer, and the other thing is designed to reduce suffering. Pick a side.

You know what would be nice? A political candidate who didn't have solutions. But rather one who had ideas and the capacity for collaboration.
I didn’t mean to join a fandom. I just played a game, cared too much about the characters, and couldn’t stand the silence after the credits rolled.

If you’re hiring someone who:
✔ Builds real systems
✔ Has seen things
✔ Talks openly about what didn’t work
…let’s talk.

If you ever find yourself going down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole, just remember: the intensity of your reaction has no bearing on the veracity of the claims.
In other words, affect ≠ insight.

An excerpt from the provided link containing the text: There are common recurrent motivations and indicia uniting this pattern of violent and terroristic activities under the umbrella of self-described “anti-fascism.” These movements portray foundational American principles (e.g., support for law enforcement and border control) as “fascist” to justify and encourage acts of violent revolution. This “anti-fascist” lie has become the organizing rallying cry used by domestic terrorists to wage a violent assault against democratic institutions, constitutional rights, and fundamental American liberties. Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality. As described in the Order of September 22, 2025 (Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization), the groups and entities that perpetuate this extremism have created a movement that embraces and elevates violence to achieve policy outcomes, including justifying additional assassinations. For example, Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin engraved the bullets used in the murder with so-called “anti-fascist” rhetoric.

So it is the official position of the White House that speaking out against corrupt systems is an act of terror.

Bigots: "Go back to your country!"
Also bigots: "Let's bring back the Church of England!"
Sorry, you can't want Christian Nationalism and not contend with the fact that this country was established to escape that.

So this is how you drop drug prices, huh?

By immediately causing price hikes for the most vulnerable Americans and waiting probably 5 to 6 years for any of those factories to be up and running.
Fantastic plan. 🤦
Always remember this.

The US voted against the ability for the PLO president to *speak*. Not recognize statehood. Not resolve anything. Allow them to speak. And they refused.
Kenvue is about to start raking in the cash. I guarantee you they're going to say the opposite of what people expect.
