Gavin Newsom is vowing to stop the proposed billionaire tax in California.

We will vow to stop his candidacy for President.

He is not for the people.

The Democratic Party is a conservative political party. They prove this more true every day.

Respectfully Congresswoman, what's the plan for this? Once the Articles are drafted, how will the case for this be made? Are you all going to do shadow hearings? Will you host people's tribunals in your districts? Political Ed sessions about abolishing ICE? Please share the concrete plans.
Kristi Noem must be impeached.

I see that the liberals on this site have conceded to the white supremacist argument that there’s a “birthrate crisis.”

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.
SEOUL, Jan 13 (Reuters) - South Korea's special prosecutor on Tuesday requested the death penalty for former president Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

This is HUGE. Time to get back to work on my router
The Navigation API now ships in all major browsers. 🙌

Lots of other cool new things in there. Reports on the death of Firefox were greatly exaggerated.

And, there are some… questionable story choices for season 2 which I’m not necessarily looking forward to…
January 13, 2026 at 11:25 AM
Nah, probably not worth it. I would say it’s the best show on TV right now, but it can also get to the point where it even makes me cringe at the sight.

64% of WebKit non-Apple contributions, 20% of Chromium non-Google, 27% of Servo, 39% of test262, and it goes on.

And doing all this as a worker-owned, employee-run cooperative. The world would be a very different place if companies like Igalia were the norm rather than the exception in tech.

I feel like they are prioritizing “bring the API down to the lowest common denominator so an LLM can one shot this” over human ergonomics. It’s a bet that might pay off for them in the end, but I like these APIs a lot less than an LLM might.

It’s still the same philosophy, but they have really changed the API quite a bit since Remix Jam and I vastly prefer the Remix Jam APIs. For example:

Remix 3 went from something I was very interested in to something I very much do not align with very quickly

NEW: China is testing a megawatt-scale airborne wind system that captures stronger high-altitude winds, potentially producing up to 10× more energy with 40% less material and 30% lower costs. It could also be quickly deployed to supply emergency power after disasters.
