Opus 5.5 on High motion reel with native #Android Kotlin and Jetpack Compsoe. Aka you don’t need to settle for web or xplat tech on mobile.

I started reimplementing nice iOS and web UI showcases in Compose for desktop, together with @csinco.com. They're vibe coded, because the point is "anyone can do this today if they want to". You can find them on github.com/rock3r/biopa..., and we'll keep on growing it!

I love AI coding simply for the fact I can ask it to get any old webpack based app to run on 8 year old dependencies in under 5 min 🤪

Agent Mode in @androidstudio.bsky.social Panda 4 is getting a big upgrade: Planning Mode! Allows you to work with the agent to first create a plan then code. Though if you prefer, use Fast to jump into coding and task completion.

Currently we aren’t allowed to use most if not any 3P AI coding tools at Google, not even Antigravity w/o constraints. So I decided to just build my own agent manager that I can vibe code in above board because it’s 2026 and I can, like many motivated builders out there.

An investment firm tied to the United Arab Emirates purchased nearly half of the Trump family’s cryptocurrency company last year, making the family business partners with the UAE even as President Trump negotiated foreign policy matters with the Middle Eastern nation.

New survey from Pew 🧵 Trump's approval is down to 37. He's 24 points underwater. Only 27% of Americans support most/all of Trump's policies. By two-to-one margins, Americans say the Trump administration has made their life worse, not better.

The official message of the U.S. government to ICE is if you kill an American citizen while trying to deport brown people, not only will we cover it up but we will try to jail their spouse instead. We all died during COVID and this is hell.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why."

Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!"

First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization."

Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces.

Proud to be an American today!

USA 🇺🇸"Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster."

Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars

If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position"

Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

For those maxing out your Claude usage for the holidays, check out Air (air.dev) - an agent manager UI from @jetbrains.com, built on top of Claude Code, with some extra IDE goodies like code editing and navigation. It's still in preview, but another nice option to have for agentic coding!
