Making fun of our neighborhoods and communities is disgusting.

Greg Bovino and his masked agents are not here to make Chicago safer. As children are tear gassed and U.S. citizens detained, they are posing for photo ops and producing reality TV moments. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

I think I'm finally taking on a new pet project and work on a mobile game.

I always wanted this.

It's financially probably a bad idea. Also time wise.

But since I was I child I wanted to be a game dev.

And maybe 2026 is the year it finally happens.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Can you use your favorite Expo & React Native libraries on Meta Quest? Mostly, yes. But for key native features, you'll need specific alternatives.

@jwr.skiwrote a guide on what works, what doesn't, and what to use instead. Save yourself the guesswork and read it now ⬇️ clstk.com/4ojKhLh

Anyone interested in a video about the new React Native IAP package?

Looks solid to me, although I'm usually a big fan of using RevenueCat

Update for devs: React Native in 2025 has matured. With the Fabric renderer, there’s direct JS-to-native rendering (no slow bridge), synchronous UI updates, and shared layout logic for Android + iOS.

𝝠 Expo passed 2 Million weekly npm downloads over the weekend.

It wasn't a milestone we were tracking or aiming for. But it feels great to get there. It's a credit to the hardworking team at Expo and to the community of devs that contribute and support Expo.

Thank you!

Literally: This. Is. How. It. Happens.

Especially pernicious because the effects are largely invisible even as they accumulate. It just seems like the opposition is weak and ineffectual; you never see what people would have said and done if they weren't threatened and intimidated.
This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.
I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law.
