Wow, @pypi.org crossed 2 EXABYTES bandwidth served in 2026. For comparison, **all traffic served in 2025** was only 1.95 Exabytes. Thanks to @fastly.com, over 99.999% of that is absorbed by their powerful global caching layer, chugging along to serve #OpenSource #Python users worldwide
Chart with blue line increasing gradually up and to the right, displaying total bandwidth served this year since January 1st

Spotify prompted me to try their new “prompt a playlist” tool and they BLOCK THE WORD “feminist”. WTF Spotify!
A prompt for the phrase “feminist music” which Spotify says “I can’t help you with that topic.”My first prompt for “feminist high energy good vibes workout style music” which was refused by Spotify with the error “we can’t work with that prompt”

screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

Democrats will stop talking about needing to move towards the center, maybe when there is nothing left of the party. Y'all been tryin' that for the last 20 years. It's been a losing game(and sucks). Maybe try actually supporting what working folks need? Like, the massive majority of Americans?

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didn’t advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.

Via @stateline.org: An Aug. 1 jobs report that enraged President Donald Trump showed the United States had 258,000 fewer jobs than initially reported in May and June. It was the smallest monthly job gains since pandemic-era December 2020 and the largest jobs revision, outside recessions, since 1968.

If the (wildly popular) governor of Kentucky can say this with his whole chest then what excuse does the (wildly unpopular) governor of California have?
Trans issues have been especially divisive for Democrats in the wake of the 2024 election, when Republicans used the subject to cast Kamala Harris and other opponents as out-of-touch. Newsom, another possible 2028 contender who visited South Carolina last week, drew backlash from activists and some liberal colleagues this year when he said “it’s deeply unfair” for trans athletes to participate in women’s sports.

In South Carolina, Beshear was eager to talk about how he had handled LGBTQ issues, however.

“I vetoed it because it was the right thing to do,” he said of the bill in Kentucky. “I said my faith teaches me that all children are children of God, and I didn’t want people picking on those kids.”
