100 being a threshold breaks people’s brains. 79 is incredible!

‘case or controversy’, terms and conditions may apply (especially if the EPA is involved)

Going to get this tattooed on my forehead.

Let alone regularly, if there were a medium-sized protest against Democratic priorities just once, I think they’d pack it in!

That opening graf is knockout! Thanks for putting me on!

I’ve never heard of this before! Is that this essay?

(The desire not to be perceived as) Cringe Rules Everything Around Me

Hey, now! You can’t just put that on us! That’s *at least* tradition-as-received from the 18th century Romantics.

Art Reynolds had already told y’all that Jesus Is Just Alright! Problem is a lot the fanbase hates the canon worse than Star Wars fans ever have.

Seems like @reckless.bsky.social could amend “the product of every social network is content moderation” to just be ‘every network’, full-stop.

I think the ‘problem’, as such, with pounding the table about “oh, someone is calling for their political opponents to be jailed” is that Trump’s political opponents should have been doing exactly that from at *least* 2PM on January 6, 2021.

What is this, a crossover episode?

It pre-dates The Office, too!

There’s definitely not a CSS-only way to do this, but the WordPress (Gutenberg) `core/cover` block uses the `fast-average-color` library to grab the dominant color of an image and assess it as ‘light’ or ‘dark’.

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

I think reading the rest of Schatz’s responses precludes this reading, though. His perspective appears to be, “I’d do it again,” and attempting to talk him out of that seems like a valuable use of time to me!

If the grievance is, “the US Senate is one of the few places that an elected official can wield power to slow down the very thing you’re upset about,” then probably! Is there any criticism that would motivate Lindsay Graham to oppose the next ICE funding increase? Probably not, but Schatz might!

It’s only an ‘attack’ if the sitting US Senator is incapable of saying, “I was wrong to support the bill.”

WCAG 2 and APCA contrast checker | Atmos Quickly check contrast between colors in HEX, RGB, HSL, LCH and OKLCH. Simple and fast.

If it’s *just* ratios you’re interested in, atmos.style/contrast-che... is the best juice-per-squeeze tool for me!

Democrats Must Embrace War Mindset We have exited a long period of peace and entered into a struggle not unlike war, in which all the old certainties have gone malleable and the future of the republic is at stake.

this piece has been in the works a while but honestly i could not have asked for a better foil than ezra klein's interview with ta-nehisi coates. klein longs for peacetime--but you don't get to decide when you're in a fight.

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

Josh Barro is a horse’s ass, no argument from me! But he was a horse’s ass back when we weren’t in the midst of democratic backsliding, too!

What on earth does sharing this article have to do with ‘fighting for our democracy’?

I’d struggle to come up with something more complicated than a Youngster Joey-style explanation: they’re easy to write and get engagement.

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

good-place for front-end, bad-place for back-end

Saw scriptwriter sockpuppet account over here.

Really seems in-character to me that Jigsaw would showcase some gruesome end for Mr. Beast on his own channel.

It’s actually baked into the RSS spec!
