Hi, I’m God.

How would Jesus feel about ICE? What would Jesus do? What would ICE do to Jesus?

I will never understand how anyone could say they believe in Jesus but also they support Donald Trump.

In the GOP budget plan, 18.3 million kids could lose access to free school meals to give tax cuts to billionaires.

We don't suffer from scarcity. We suffer from greed.

reiterating that ICE becoming the American gestapo was patently obvious to people paying attention since at least the first Trump presidency (and probably the Obama years)
when historians looks back at the fatal mistakes of the Biden era before the end of the US republic, his (and most Democrats) unwillingness to abolish ICE will rank top three imo

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

We now have a shared channel with the CPython core devs where we're discussing upstreaming python-build-standalone changes to CPython itself.

It's been pretty awesome to see how welcoming, receptive, and helpful they've been. Grateful!

The President-elect of the United States is threatening to take over nearby countries. Ordinarily a big deal, but not now, because everyone understands that the President-elect is an empty-headed buffoon whose blatherings are not to be taken seriously. That is a big deal, though.

Last week I focused on addressing quirks in python-build-standalone and fixing the common pain points with uv-installed Pythons.

For example: if you've ever run into this tkinter error, it's now fixed.

The main argument for a Strategic BItcoin Reserve seems to be that Bitcoin holders worry about an impending shortage of greater fools and need the US government to act as the greatest fool of last resort.

🔭🐶 Exciting news: @datadoghq.bsky.social has announced our intend on donating our new Go auto-instrumentation framework to @opentelemetry.io.
Manually instrumenting Go applications for observability has always been a time-consuming challenge.

Solutions based on binary patching and eBPF have attempted to solve this, but they often come with undesirable tradeoffs.

That’s why we built Orchestrion … 🧵

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.
