I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly

Hemingway needed six words for his tragic “Baby Shoes” short story, but here is an entire Black Mirror episode in two words.

For every 10 years they try to roll back democracy, science, and pluralism, we roll back our concept of fairness by 100 years. I would feel bad about it but it's clear that by-the-book prosecutions of low-rank offenders is no deterrent at all to them returning with more malice and lawlessness.

”abolish ICE“ means (1) abolishing a particular agency and (2) salting the earth so that nothing that does what it does can ever emerge again—no matter what it‘s called or who is in charge of it.

If you are demanding people not even criticize the clubby sort of whitewashing of a warmongering petty monster devoted to installing a dictatorship in America, you are holding regular people to a moral standard Lindsey Graham never cleared a single day of his life.

Court can't go on like this. The Constitution as plainly as possible says people who were born here have an unequivocal right to citizenship. Four people whose ONLY job is to read the Constitution for the rest of their lives just tried to overturn it because they're tired of brown people. Pack it.

Supergirl according to my friends: “It has some issues, but it’s good. You should see it.” “It’s a great popcorn movie.” According to the internet: “Failure!” Conclusion: My friends don’t have a problem with the very idea of female led superhero movies.

Not gonna lie, Kash Patel has given me more confidence than anything else in my life. If there’s a silver lining to this whole mess it’s that, from now on, whenever I think I can’t do something I can just remind myself that the dumbest people on Earth seized the US government.

Basically, AI companies are hoping to get us all hooked on their products before the bills come due so they can jack up token prices. Pesky people asking questions and pointing out stuff that doesn't work are ruining the whole plan and it's very rude of them.

I finally canceled my WaPo subscription last month and it really, really hurt. I’ve been reading a newspaper since I was 11 and it was the Post from age 14 to 60. I’ve been tempted for a couple of weeks to resubscribe, but this drove reality home for me. I’m so sad though.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

“AI will replace movies. I can make my own version of Star Wars where I’m the hero and Obi-Wan doesn’t die.” The problem is we’ve allowed a society where adult men can say things like this without being shunned from the village to starve as a pitiful outcast.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing

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.
