1. @stream.place - has made massive strides even just in the last two months. love webhook function and metadata features.

2. @leaflet.pub - has become the default blog post program for atproto. needs more multimedia features for my usecase.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

it is insane to me that judges rely either on the advice of people who passed the bar six months ago or journals edited by people who graduated high school five years ago

Trump is not awake enough hours a day to even authorize all the strikes: “The surge in strikes follows a directive by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that reversed Biden-era restrictions requiring White House approval for strikes outside war zones.”

The problem with maps like this is that they elide the fact that day-to-day life is dictated much more by rural vs urban than state line. There are major differences (I'd never live in Texas or Florida, ever) but the vast majority of the time "big urban county" versus "rural hell" is the big Q.
Most of this country is hell.

As long as it's officially before midnight so we can have two federal holidays in a row going forwards.

I'm anti-Zionist and I don't think I've ever had a single occasion of Akiva calling me antisemitic. Almost like there's a distinction and that distinction boils down to not being an ass, and not being a bigot.

Nothing annoys the cowards and collaborators so much as resistance.
I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line.

No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more.

I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.

A little vignette that illuminates why everything is as it is: Jeffrey “jacking it on the Zoom with you” Toobin still gets to put words in the paper
There is a LOT going on in Jeffrey Toobin’s weird soft-focus profile of Tom Goldstein, but my favorite recurring bit is all the people who know poker finding creative ways to politely make clear that Tom Goldstein is not good at poker www.nytimes.com/2025/12/28/m...

Again I say that we gotta find a way to make this specific thing turbo illegal
there have been multiple stories of middle school girls getting harassed with generated CP of themselves over the past few years and somehow the only AI fear that seems to stick is the fucking water

if i was more conspiratorial i'd think it's a psyop
It’s the most powerful online sexual harassment tool ever invented and it’s driving people insane with parasocial relationships but the most prominent critics lie about water use.

And, bluntly speaking, I’ve been around this block enough times to know that the Republicans never bring any of this bullshit up - “surely we can all agree fraud is bad!” - out of a genuine interest in solving the problem, they’ve got a fucking angle, and I’m not gonna play a rigged game with them

If only Americans had a recent way to know how crucial immigrants were for the success of the Manhattan Project. A big Hollywood movie where a lot of the nuclear scientist characters speak with accents and talk about fleeing Europe that makes tons of money and wins a bunch of Oscars, perhaps.
Immigrant-hating Stephen Miller talks about Americans being "first to harness the atom." But the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was conducted by a team led by Italian immigrant Enrico Fermi, who didn't become a U.S. citizen until a year and a half later.

Most people are ignorant on most things, being ignorant is fine. It’s the active, assertive pride in being ignorant as an organizing principle that’s really the awful thing. It is bad to be stupid. You should not be proud of being stupid.
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.
