In the early 90s San Francisco was filled with wonder and optimism about technology. We had old and new hippies, ravers and househeads, coders, and freaks all contributing to what seemed like a holistic humanist wave of innovation. It was a special time.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

Maybe pointless but why don't the Democratic members of the House just be present in the chamber until the Speaker decides to do something?

Make speeches, control the mic and the narrative. Expose their lies.

We're not going to legislate our way out of this but at least it's something.

There are plenty of UI problems with macOS 26 but to be fair, this is an issue with the apps themselves not updating to the new windows.

This causes other issues with Electron apps as shown here:

AG Ken Paxton announces undercover investigations of “leftist terror cells”

Paxton cited the recent attack on a Dallas immigration field office, though the shooter’s political affiliation was unclear and there was no evidence he was linked to organized “cells.”
