Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

DHH Is Way Worse Than I Thought | jakelazaroff.com DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is_way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

totally. alan dye just wanted something “different” and went all in on this. it’s technically impressive, but poorly implemented, and ugly.

definitely - if the client doesn't need any of the heavy-hitting / wp specific plugins i recommend kirby.

haven't worked with framer much, so cant speak to it - but if you're the dev implementing for the client. kirby is my default cms recommendation.

love kirby - been using it for years, it’s dead simple, and endlessly customizable.

i fully expect llms to not be allowed for school work k-12

using it reflexively atrophies critical skills imo, and it’ll be seen the same way as smoking or drinking at a young age

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

The last two "big" announcements from Silicon Valley:

1) Figma sites: inaccessible mess
2) Apple Liquid Glass: inaccessible mess

I can't actually remember the last time Silicon Valley came up with something that was actually good.

the thing about this is that these guys don’t actually want blunt talk; blunt talk would be things like “you’re a sexist and a bigot whose contributions to culture have been overwhelmingly negative, and you frequently respond to mild criticism like a child”

Happening now: in Chicago, activists are holding a rally in Pilsen this afternoon in opposition to CPD's collaboration with ICE earlier this week at an immigration check-in site.
