Mamdani is a charismatic guy but I promise you anyone can replicate this. 1) Unapologetically use the government to help ordinary people; and 2) Tell them about it

JD Vance describes allowing nuclear inspectors to inspect Iran's nuclear program as "the thing we are most excited about." I agree. That's why Obama included that same provision in the JCPOA. But remember, that's the Iran deal that Trump tore up.

You don't want a plethora of Democratic Socialists? Get rid of the white supremacist billionaires and dismantle the kleptocracy and they will vanish. Just like antifa only shows up when you have fascists. They're like white blood cells. They pop up when your country has an infection.

we're really close to fixing that. Sadly, switching to or from GitHub specifically is still complicated for weird technical reasons of how it's implemented. We'll make the easier to swap as well, but it'll take longer.

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.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

Brings back memories of my very first use of markdown in blosxom. Since it was also in perl, the main markdown.pl file worked as a drop-in plugin, which was pretty slick.

@anildash.com Looks like all the links are broken. Ironically, it looks like the markdown isn't being processed correctly, and it's treating the raw markdown as a relative URL.

There's also a systemd unit that you can install, if that's how you roll: tailscale.com/kb/1597/linu... I start it from my sway config, but same idea. The expectation is definitely that you'd allow your desktop environment manage starting the systray app rather than just launching manually.
