When you are paying $765 million to companies to get them to cancel clean, renewable energy projects, you are screaming to the world that you are a corrupt fossil fuel lobbyist bitch who does not give a damn about what's best for America. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/c...

This is a really interesting short and spot-on. I think there are a lot of people that don't realize progressive Christians really exist (I've never actually worn that label myself, but it probably wouldn't be inaccurate to describe me). I'm such a fan of Talarico and really hope he does well.
I am not calling Talarico a fake Christian, I'm just saying that his faith might not matter in Texas as much as outside it.

People are fucking helpers man. We see how bad things are and want to do something to fix it. I'm legit tearing up watching this, these volunteers are out there in the hot sun with all these clothes for people just trying to see loved ones. They (ICE) have the firepower, we have the mass.
I.C.E. maintains a strict dress code for people seeking to visit their loved ones caged at Delaney Hall. It’s clear the strict rule is useful pretext to deny visitors entry. #ICE #DHS

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption
What the hell year is this? Paypal is still doing user-agent sniffing to decide if you're allowed to add a passkey to your account? (confirmed by setting a Windows/Chrome agent on my Linux/Firefox browser... works just fine) www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/ar...
I guess a reasonable followup would be... what the hell year is this? Why am I still logging into Paypal? (honestly, it was just because it was in my @1password.bsky.social watchtower list of sites I hadn't setup a passkey on)
No joke, I saw this post this morning and just figured it was a joke. Some photoshopped image from @theonion.com or something. It's honestly becoming harder to tell the difference when reality is just so absurd.

I've only recently *really* started exploring mechanical keyboards, and I ended up designing and ordering custom caps from Yuzu. Function keys match the @frame.work layout, colors match my terminal One Dark theme, and no "Caps Lock" key in sight. I'm loving them. willnorris.com/2026/keycaps/

This is amazing. Someone identify this man and give his name to the Mass Dems immediately.
On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

We've been building a pretty sizeable garden at our house and my wife was shopping for seeds in some catalog. She saw reference to one of the listed seeds being "open source" and not available for "private intellectual property ownership". TIL about osseeds.org. This is so cool.

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE. First no funding. Impeach Noem. Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN. Demand that Miller resign. Don’t let up.
“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

This is where I remind folks once again that my personal site and Whatever, my blog, have been around longer than at least three and probably four generations of social media. Having your own space that only you control is a good thing, especially in an age of resurgent fascism.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

it's almost seven minutes long, but every American should watch this. as the historian Rick Perlstein said on Twitter: "Watch Sen. Murphy show how every administration official should be grilled, every time. Like you're creating a record for future criminal trials." www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwZW...
This is absolutely the right take. AGPL and SSPL were written with wildly different (and in many ways, completely contradictory) motivations.
“They set out to craft a license that followed in the AGPL’s footsteps by not applying reciprocal provisions to software hosted in a network fashion, but dramatically expanding the scope of these protections beyond the boundaries of the protected software itself and into adjacent software.” Nah.

Such an amazingly clear explanation of how it seems we got here. Well, just the most recent tariff calculation that is. How we got *waves hands* HERE is a whole other, very sad story.
I wrote a bunch of words trying to explain how economically incomprehensible the tariff stuff is. It explains how a 5th grader understands basic econ better than Trump and his economic advisors. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/03/t...
