Trump's antisemitism envoy: "It is utterly inappropriate to compare Anne Frank to children hiding from ICE. This demeans the experience of those who died in the Holocaust."

I think we are entering a true "coding for everyone" era with a crucial importance of breaking users away from defaults. The idea of seeing our tech interfaces differently is going to have a renaissance.
This is absolutely how we should pitch coding agents to humanists.
Strictly speaking, what mattered about code was never arbitrary syntax, but clearly specifying data structures and processes. And coding agents still force/teach you to do that part. But … shhh! Let’s get ppl on board.

the rest of our lives will be harder to bear if we view the universe as under guarantees, ultimatums, and absolutes. Technology's advances may well make clearer and clearer how much of living is modal, paraconsistent - straightforward assertions on what tech necessarily does or can do will crumble.

DFL legislators need to insist on a compensation fund of tens of millions of dollars to offset economic harms of the ICE siege. It infuriates me that Mercado Central has to hold a $500,000 bake sale to hold onto their building. Tens of fucking millions.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.
They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
