Imagine Game of Thrones, but its computer science.

Proud of the Python Software Foundation for doing the right thing and standing up for their people, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Capitol Police called to investigate swastika in GOP congressional office An American flag altered to include an image of a swastika was found in Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

I can't stress enough how young staffers working for Republicans are basically all groyper Nazis now. The leaked texts yesterday saying "I love Hitler" and now swastikas on congressional offices.

The worst part is the typical reactionary centrist response to this is to blame the left by saying we were crying wolf so now it won't be taken seriously when there's actual nazis in the halls of power.

We tried to warn you! You just didn't want to listen.

Rest in peace, Miss Major.

We will carry the bricks forward.

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air.

This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

Nice.

I was hoping for both though. Or the N64 extras ported over. (Boss's fatalities, N64 exclusive stages, Khameleon)

Glad there's no loading time on the morphs. But also I wouldn't expect there to be on modern hardware.

Another thing I haven’t seen people talking about is how unapologetically pro-trans Zohran Mamdani has been during his campaign. The so called “vibe shift” is nothing more than an internet algorithm astroturfed by billionaires.

Sounds like a beautiful day, week, month, fortnight, quarter.

I'm not a strategist, but for myself, I can be mad about both things independently.

There's no good reason to attack Iran. And atacking without Senate approval shows a disrespect for our form of government such that he's unfit to be a part of it.

Of course, we already knew that.

TIL about TypeScript Type Buddy 🤯

It translates this fancy TS function syntax to the real but unreadable ternary syntax
(works in both directions)

I see how this could be convenient to work on complex conditional types

There's even a VSCode extension

Except when I'm trying to type out --long-options and autocorrect ducks it up again.

I liked what I read so far, but I've been busy with work stuff and haven't finished any of them.

I've used PHP for a long time. I still remember both how great things like Ember and React were, but also, a lack of perfection, different tradeoffs, frustration at what we gave up.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

They have one thing in their favor though. It going badly seems to be part of the plan.

Zack Beauchamp (@zackbeauch ...) posted on X about a man, Alvarado, sent to a Salvadoran torture camp for having an autism awareness tattoo honoring his brother. Alvarado’s sister, Maria, said he has no ties to Tren de Aragua and taught swimming to kids with disabilities. Despite this, ICE detained him in February due to his tattoos, as they were targeting people with tattoos. Maria emphasized Alvarado’s good character, noting the family’s devastation over his unjust detention.

If you don’t think this administration is so incompetent or callous as not to do this, you haven’t been paying attention.

Better change leaders now, than let's say, spring 2026, or summer 2028.

Big Trouble in Little China - Wikipedia

LOL

At the risk of ruining the joke...

It actually takes A LOT from this movie: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tro...

Somehow I hadn't seen that movie until recently, and I was surprised just how much was borrowed from there.

In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1

@aoc.bsky.social You all should do something to get "censured" once or twice a week.

Waste all the house floor time on that.

Suck the oxygen out of the news cycle.

Make it a different person every time.

Tbh I think this bit is maybe one of the most important bits of information that has surfaced on the «DOGE» project:

That Elon described it in
👉2023👈
as a way to destroy the federal «bureaucracy» (ie the institutions of the federal government).

And I’m insinuating that this is not a new thought for Elon. He grew up surrounded by this ideology and ideas. In a violently segregated country.

Is there significance to it being the right hand?

He's right handed, so that seems like the more inconveniente choice.

Is it safe to assume that occasionally cis girls set new division 3 records previously held by trans girls?

Will that make headlines too?

Nazis Burned Trans Books To Usher In Fascism: Now Trump Does The Same Transgender people have often been a canary in the coalmines of Democracy.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism.

Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records.

This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity.
