So unfortunately, this is my new account, the old one is unrecoverable! If you were holding off following this account while I worked it out, give me a follow. If you don't want to follow me, that is also fine.

I'll be updating the name on this account to @keith.is at some point :|

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

The opinion from Judge David Novak, a Trump appointee, is about as sharp an opinion as we've seen.

Novak concludes that Halligan "elected to simply ignore valid court orders issued by Judge Currie at the direction of the Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit."

Custom domains are lowkey (as my kids say) a killer feature of Leaflet in that most places you might host a blog or newsletter charge you a big up-front fee or hide the option behind a paid tier, while with Leaflet, if you have a domain, you can just use it, and it costs nothing.
Hey! Friends! What features have we built that you don't know about yet?

You know Leaflet has profile pages? Bluesky thread viewer? tags? mentions? blogs and standalone publishing? polls? notifications? subpages? canvas pages? quote sharing? comments? custom domains? custom themes? ………yes??!
The lesson, as always: keep telling people about the features you built, most people don't know about them.

i have not been able to stop thinking about this! some guy just got on the bus and took it!
can't stop thinking about how any bus driver can just kidnap a fuckton of people and the only reason it doesn't happen all the time is because what the fuck do you want to do with a busload of people

Blacksky @blackskyweb.xyz now has its own servers running the network

This means they're able to run their own feature development and moderation policies, while still connecting to Bluesky through the shared Atmosphere network!

s/o to @rude1.blacksky.team and the blacksky team for amazing work

man doesn’t understand that he’s the circus animals at the zoo on X. the platform doesn’t work if well meaning liberals don’t keep posting there to be pointed at and laughed at. elon absolutely wants you there, you’re an important part of the toxic puzzle!

one of the political theoretical issues with the unitary executive, as i see it, is that it rethinks the presidency as an institution for the pursuit of a partisan political agenda, rather than as an office that imposes a duty — caretaker of the constitution.

As someone who enjoys attending conferences, I thought it might be helpful to share a list of my favourite front-end and web development conferences.

This is the poster administration and it helps to understand who they're posting for: essentially, the biggest scumbag Steam forum trolls in the world
if you think this administration is mentally unwell, you should see the cognitive sewage that its political base is consuming... it's hard to look at the absolute psychosis being peddled by candace owens (larger audience than fox, cnn and msnbc combined) and not conclude that things only get crazier

Hey everybody! The faildaughter of a real estate tycoon that needs three steps to use a soda stream has some opinions about rent in a city she’s barely lived in

she was doing her job as a candidate to vet her running mate, and it’s clear more and more every day that he wasn’t the right choice. can’t imagine the book he’d have wrote days after the campaign ended blaming everyone else
What a pathetic whiner. This is not an "all Jews have dual loyalty" bias, it's a "this specific dude was so into Israel that he implied he was in the IDF when he wasn't."

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:
