I'm very pleased to announce that I'll be leading a session at this year's inaugural Rust NYC Unconf! Come by if you'd like to talk or hear about using Rust to underpin common, cross-language implementations of business functionality.

Once again thinking about how inescapably hilarious `strtok` is. Everything about it is pure galaxy brain C shit: the fact that it's not reentrant, the fact that it has to mutate the string in place because of null terminated strings, etc etc.

I'll give you a US example:.
The main age-verification lobbyist — a man who largely believes porn should be outlawed — admitted the state-level bills he pushed for won't work and were really a predicate for federal action.
He wants the DOJ to seize domains.

!["So, ultimately, I think what you're going to have to do is to have the states pass all these types of bills. You'll see that they're ineffective in some capacity, and it'll create a demand for Congress to act at the federal level. And then you could have DOJ take a pretty aggressive approach. I think back to the Unlawful Internet [Gambling Enforcement] Act that shut down online poker in this country... it was back 15 years ago... DO] seized those domain names and basically shut down online poker in this country even though those were foreign actors. I think that's the type of thing you could maybe do at the federal level. I know Mike Lee is exploring this right now with a bill called the SCREEN Act. But, look, we look at the states as the laboratories of democracy. Missouri has an opportunity here to really go on the books and say this is what we support, we want to protect kids in our state. And then I think Congress is always slower than the state legislatures, so….. maybe they act later."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:34ydeurdtukrpzjjelklch4y/bafkreiakfuzwuef34lm53mitlznbkxzxs445lt7reae5mrzrjliso7m5hy@jpeg)

Today we are featuring Ed Martin, the U.S. Pardon Attorney who, on Sunday, signed an unprecedented blanket pardon to “all U.S. citizens for all conduct” related to the 2020 fake electors scheme, as well as efforts to expose “fraud” in the 2020 elections.

God I want to see a million “Dems demanding new leadership” articles today, I want it to be a narrative Schumer can’t escape
Democrats are demanding new leadership after Schumer failed to stop a GOP-backed funding deal that doesn't guarantee continued health care subsidies. Progressives like Ro Khanna blasted him for giving in and warned premiums could soar as a result.
Democrats Call for New Leadership After Schumer Caves on “Terrible” GOP Deal
“If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing … what will you fight for?” said Ro Khanna.
