The Memes You Need, Vol. 16: The Iran War Edition Instead of us having essential conversations about domestic U.S. policy in the days ahead, we will be agonizing over another morally bankrupt, GOP-made Middle East war. Memes offer a useful shorthand.

In the days ahead, MAGA will drag America into an imbecilic debate about a war that anyone who knows history—America’s; Trump’s; the Middle East’s—knows is wrong.

RETRO here offers an Iran War meme archive that will help users save time and energy. Just post one of these useful memes and walk away.

The Geomys Certificate Transparency logs are on their way to become the first trusted Static CT API logs! 🎉

Just published an 18-minute blog post about the emotional nuance of giving and receiving feedback… because obviously this is the conversation we all need while the world is maybe (?) ending.

I haven’t checked the news in 2 days. Should I… just let “feedback is care” be my legacy?

My yearly performance review is on the schedule!

Rest in peace, Padguy.

Some GREAT good news for a change:

The streets of Romania are erupting in celebration tonight.

Nicusor Dan, Romania’s pro-EU candidate beats hard-right rival to win the presidential election.

Many say he has done the impossible 53.92 vs 46.08%🥳

The world is rejecting Trumpism.

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

I implemented the proposed CSRF handler, if anyone wants to test it, or wants to migrate before it makes its way into the standard library.

There are are no tokens or cookies, so migrating should be easy, but note that it applies strict same-origin checks.

Feedback welcome!

In which I survey CSRF countermeasures and existing Go libraries and propose we add CrossOriginForgeryHandler to net/http to solve this once and for all.

Turns out there is no need for tokens or keys in 2025! Browsers just send a This-Is-CSRF header now. (Sort of.)

Holy smokes. This other tried to splain her .... read the response....

Thanks. I wrote that piece.

Under the title is a picture of Trump’s kids with their spouses and own children. They are stood solemnly outside what looks like a church. They are looking on at Melania who is seen in the foreground out of focus. The headline says: The Firm: Trump Inc and the new age of corruption.

Alcatraz, Gulf of America, a third term, being Pope.

All distractions.

So well done to the oldest Sunday newspaper in the world for focusing on a story that matters.

Trump Inc and the new age of corruption.

Donny doesn’t measure up!!

I did it. I blogged again! This time, I wrote about what Developer Advocacy looks like in 2025.

Trump's surgeon general nominee, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, faces scrutiny over credentials President Trump and his nominee for surgeon general, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, have made claims about her certification and schooling appear to be misleading.

CBS News producer Dan Ruetenik lifted my deeply reported, rigorously sourced article, added a few things, and passed it off as his own—weakly crediting me 1,182 words in, calling my hard work "reporting questions."

Unacceptable, @cbsnews.com. Credit me appropriately. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tru...

The Mystery of ICE’s Unidentifiable Arrests In early March, the agency announced that it had arrested forty-eight people in New Mexico—a month later, their identities and whereabouts remain unknown.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Rounding down?

I was the only foreign media reporter allowed inside South Korea’s Constitutional Court for the verdict today to remove impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol from office.

they were taking advantage of us
so cunning
and so cold

I am so excited to share my podcast with the world, and I know this is the only way to do it, but HOLY SHIT do I have promotion fatigue.

I appreciate your kind patience and indulgence while I do Business.
