This weekend I released something I've wanted to open source for a while - a lightweight port of EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework) for TypeScript. It lets you do model-driven dev in TypeScript, and even has its own VS Code extension (TMF Ecore Editor).

Almost a single issue voter on this. How they want to tax and spend can be anywhere from Romney to Mamdani. Whoever most credibly pledges to restore the rule of law and permit it to exact righteous consequences on those who have transgressed it gets my vote.
The 2028 Dem nominee for POTUS really needs an old school fire-and-brimstone anti-corruption platform
from top to bottom all of these guys treat the united states government as a neat toy they can show off to their friends and use to impress girls

There is no legitimate reason not to release the complete Sep. 2 video.
They released video of the first strike. What national security justification could there be for releasing video of the first part of the action but not the second? They wanted to cover up what happened after the first strike.

The peak was the Jonathan Swan HBO interview, but it remains the case that the single most devastating technique for reporting on Trump is to simply pretend like you don't know who he is personally and treat it as interesting and novel when he says bizarre things.

Would go a bit further and insist on retro-actively removing the masks. Names, faces, where they were deployed, on some kind of accessible public record.
It is vitally important that if this ever happens again, people understand that the masks they put on only temporarily conceal their faces.

Absolutely critical than when all these new ICE hires are terminated with no questions asked by the next admin that they not be re-hired wherever they came from. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
“We’re broken and we’re being poached by ICE,” one official with the prison workers union told ProPublica. “It’s unbelievable. People are leaving in droves.”

Also: architecting cities to be fully navigable by boxes w no ground clearance has amazing positive externalities for walkability and accessibility.

I’m sorry but if “delivering food” isn’t the kind of job that robots are allowed to take then what is the point of even inventing robots
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
I follower a few defense experts.
Seeing them all straight-up declare this a war crime without any him-and-hawing is uhm
Disconcerting.
Pete Hegseth must resign, as does Stephen Miller. Donald Trump should be subpoenaed before Congress to answer for HIS policy.

This was always the most absurd implication of the immunity decision: the pardon power is enumerated in the constitution, and therefore in the most protected "bucket" of executive orders.
SCOTUS has to write themselves out of this absurd conclusion, or we have no choice but to remove those judges.

i think that we should charge even people who have been pardoned, because there is no conceivable way the founders intended the pardon power to permit the executive to order people to commit crimes and then pardon them for them
