Spotlighting The World Factbook as We Bid a Fond Farewell Somewhat devastating news today from the CIA: One of CIA’s oldest and most recognizable intelligence publications, The World Factbook, has sunset. There's not even a hint as to why they …

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!

This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

Someone should notify DOGE. These are clearly not essential personnel.

A yellow lab-golden mix dog rests its head on its owner's leg.

For the 2nd session in a row, this little girl heard me on a call with my therapist, insisted on climbing up into my lap and hugging me, resting her head on my shoulder.

She's been mine for 3 months, and is not used to hearing me engaged in lengthy, emotional conversations.

Future therapy dog?.

I do believe we’re facing a generational problem. We have Dems who’ve been in office so long that they think their job is just to get elected in the next cycle and not to govern and wield power. They worry too much about what Rs might weaponize and as a result they refuse to fight.
