Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

A next gen serverless movement is emerging: Serverless as a core attribute of infra components (compute, dbs, queues, workflows)
The key tenets survive (cost, scale, perf, managed infra) but now serverless is embedded in the tools available, rather than being the tool itself.
Here’s some examples…

After entering thousands of 2FA codes in my life, I'm starting to feel like I have a certain sense of what the code is without actually seeing it. Like ESP for 2FA.

Bluesky should have a setting that doesn't intercept links. If I click a link I want to be taken to that URL, I shouldn't have to go through your link proxy/analytics collector first.

It's gotten to the point that I reflexively stop watching / close the video as soon as you start asking me "what do you think?" in youtube videos. Does anyone have metrics on the dropoff that comes from the engagement callouts?

They definitely need to be making a bigger deal of this. This is not the only signal chat, so what else are they hiding? Congress should be subpoenaing their phones.

The strategy is to shout "waste, fraud, and abuse" so much that it loses meaning and you don't care anymore when the actual waste, fraud and abuse is right in front of your eyes.

One thing for Senate Democrats to do is announce they will use every tool at their disposal to block Bondi’s nomination until DOJ appoints a special counsel (ideally with beefed up firing protections) to investigate the widely reported crimes committed this week by Musk and his band of DOGE goons.

It will be very easy with time and hindsight to criticize choices the Biden-then-Harris campaigns made but the Trump campaign was so ludicrously bad and ridiculous that you have to wonder if doing anything differently would really have mattered.
