Heard something on a podcast today that my little side project directly solves that no other tools do. Fun!

Laravel + Livewire + Flux + AI is so insanely productive

Folks, no need to worry, the Senate is ON IT, working tirelessly to pass a bill that <checks notes> forces the FDIC to prioritize cryptocurrency ahead of actual deposits in the event of a bank failure.

Travel and visa restrictions imposed by the Trump administration threaten care at U.S. hospitals that depend on international medical residents.

First 10 seconds is nostalgia level 12

I get an even bigger tax cut while my Trump voting doctor neighbors get a tax hike 🫡 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This week @aaronfrancis.com tells @ianlandsman.com about the appeal of the "What time is it?" game while Ian wonders if Aaron is slowly losing his mind. But honestly? Aaron is ✨thriving ✨

As Trump plots his erratic and divisive foreign policy, allies are scared and China and Russia are rejoicing.

Trump's back-and-forth orders on immigration enforcement remind us of the fundamental logic of comprehensive immigration reform — actually removing millions of workers from the labor force would make most native-born people worse off. www.slowboring.com/p/trump-redi...

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Still the goat performance

Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

I do truly enjoy reading AI is useless takes as the AI is off helping write my next app while I scroll this feed telling me AI is useless 😀

it is a rare occasion when tucker (who?) carlson is not the most loathsome person in the room but there is a first time for everything tbh in this cursed world anything is possible

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Flux knows to pass this autofocus through past the div this creates and to the input element and it makes me very happy

Farm owner tells Fox News that even his employees with documentation are afraid to come to work because of how aggressive and indiscriminate ICE is being.

“Self-enrichment is exactly what the founders feared most in a leader—that’s why they put two separate prohibitions on self-benefit into the constitution,” said former federal prosecutor. “Trump’s profiting from his presidential memecoin is a textbook example of what the framers wanted to avoid.”

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Crazy how much of the population believes Biden rigged the election while Trump was president, but not that Biden rigged the election while Biden was president bsky.app/profile/atru...

Fiona Havers is resigning from the CDC "I no longer have confidence that these data will be used objectively or evaluated with appropriate scientific rigor to make evidence-based vaccine policy decisions" Not a household name - but a critical 🚨. a brief 🧵 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Holy crap. The US-UK trade deal is a blank sheet of paper and only Trump signed it. (Genuine screen grab).

This wouldn't be happening if Trump were president.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

This is gotta be intentional. But it’s also just weird! How many NYT readers were at protests? What % of subscribers? A substantial %! How can it not be seen as newsworthy, especially given the readership?

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

Trump thought he'd be watching news coverage of his stupid North Korean style military parade. He thought American would cheer him and his fascism. Instead tonight he's watching every city in America, every town, rise up against him. Happy Birthday, Asshole.
