The president of Ukraine is not important enough to be on the table where the US and Russia will declare Ukraine’s surrender. Starlink will be deactivated and Ukraine will give up its natural resources. Really demonstrates that the US definitely has no friends, only interests.

Scaring people into quitting didn’t work, so now it’s a new game. X isn’t for gov’t business, and not replying to an email isn’t a legal resignation. We could’ve had housing help, tax breaks for workers, and better healthcare. Instead, we’re stuck with this.

Three months ago I asked you all for suggestions about a web platform for scrollytelling, and received a host of very good suggestions. We ended up going with Shorthand.com, which we found the fastest and easiest for non-designers to use. I've posted this before, but here's the website we built.

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

A big part of why we're in this mess is that Democrats are weak and hapless. They aren't willing to fight for -- or even uphold -- the values they say they believe in. The other reason is that most people are dumb as shit and submerged in constant algorithmic propaganda

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

#Git mini tip: Use `-U<n>`, where `<n>` is a number, to show n extra lines of context before and after diff chunks, instead of the default 3. I sometimes use `-U10` to bump it up to 10 lines to get a better sense of what exactly changed. This option works with `git diff`, `git log`, `git show`.

The degree to which X has become a propaganda cesspool is frightening. In any Ukraine-related thread, the fraction of hardcore pro-Russia accounts is what, 90%? 95%? And the large majority aren't even actual people.

This is an important feature of this type of regime that people don't take seriously enough: they need an Other to persecute. The definition of the Other will expand. One day you may be it. Here's an easy one: if you're a naturalized citizen from the wrong country, you'll lose your citizenship.

America aligning itself with Russia and China and threatening its former democratic allies is quite a sight to see. America is doing a 180° pivot and turning against the ideals it stood for since the 1940s.

Trump wants Ukraine to "reimburse" the US to the tune of half a trillion $ (to note, the US didn't spend anywhere this much on Ukraine, most of the help came in the form of inventory slated for replacement, basically free). Other countries should take note. They'll soon become blackmail targets too

Liberal democracy won't stay alive very long if it doesn't start co-opting technology and business, rather than alienating them. They're the two most important vectors of power today. They are actually synergistic -- the rule of law is vital for business. Public education is vital for tech.
