In the immediate aftermath of the death of Renée Good in Minneapolis, FBI agents launched a civil rights investigation into the actions of the ICE agent who shot her. Instead, Justice Department leaders have tried to pursue a probe against Good’s partner.

Trump’s $45 million birthday parade with its tanks and helicopters is an authoritarian ego trip. But the real show of force this weekend won't take place in D.C., it’ll happen in the streets as protesters gather nationwide to declare "No Kings in America!"

The “we don’t need PMs, just hire more engineers” mindset tech execs seem to have these days is both stupid and short-sighted. Engineers are not good at PM work and they don’t enjoy it, so they’re not motivated to bother learning - especially when “glue work” isn’t rewarded come review time. 😡 1/

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

Why is the headline on all X outage stories about Musk blaming Ukraine for the DDoS? Why aren't media outlets putting the emphasis on the security lapse that allowed script kiddies (or whoever) to launch the attack against X as well as the lack of any evidence that the traffic came from Ukraine IPs?

100% accurate. Why did most cars settle on buttons for power seats that resemble the form of the seat? Because they require much less mental effort. Hunting (visually) for the right place to press or slide on a touchscreen UI is dangerous. Smart designers know this.
