Favorite part of Anthology 4 is Paul specifically asking their roadie to bring them some "cannabis resin." Then George (I think) joking about appearing in court the next day.

Nova (and probably Transmit too) could really use a macOS 26 update @panic.com pretty please. It's hard to keep it in my dock when it's the only app that refuses to go glassy!

I kind of miss when new code editors were actually new native code editors and not just another rebranded VS code release with different plug-ins.

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.
They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.
They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
