Friendly reminder that Republicans are garbage, entirely devoid of empathy, compassion, or honor. They are terrified little babies who are filled with hate, scared to death of anything they don't understand. And they don't understand most things, because they are also deeply incurious.

Yep. Me right here
I hope NYC gets it right with ZM because they might have no idea how many people not just in other states but in other countries are like watching this election with bated breath. Like it’s an actual trend on TT to (complimentary) say “that’s my mayor; I’m from (somewhere that’s not NYC)” lol.

It's a good practice to use placeholders when logging data in Laravel, but what if the data isn't a simple scalar value? Will it still work? masteringlaravel.io/daily/2025-1...
Can we log data with complex placeholders? | Mastering Laravel
Or only simple scalar types?
