when the history books are written decades from now, the structure of the Senate is going to be the number one reason the American Constitutional system failed

the thing about this is that a) small states do not have any interests that are inherent to their size (no less than james madison understood this) b) the senate is organized along party lines which makes the small/big distinction almost irrelevant and c) the filibuster has never been used this way
Underrated aspect of killing the filibuster is making pundit hacks at Cook Political p-p-p-piss their pants

Preach brother, I can't @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to talk to me either
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

DC and Puerto Rico residents deserve representation. But if 50 is the magic number of states, I'm willing to combine the Dakotas and let Idaho absorb Wyoming.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

After the hate and lie filled campaign that Cuomo ran, I wouldn’t want to hear from him
Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.
He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

What many people don't understand is that they should be using AI to reduce the length of their documents not increase it.

My congratulations to all Baseball Perverts. It was their "super bowl" last night and it seems they all had a very bad time (in their culture that's how you have a good time)

They're calling him the most French man in history
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

I literally wrote one of these over the weekend. A CSS only solution would be nice.
There’s a new type of CSS scroll-state query coming: “scrolled”.
This one remembers the last direction you scrolled into, which you can use to build “hidey bars”: when scrolling down (or having scrolled down), the hidey bar hides itself. When then scrolling back up, the hidey bar reveals itself.

This has been my grand unified theory for why politics have been broken in the United States since at least the Obama administration.
I think something uniquely corrosive to the US, and not other countries, is that their legislature *effectively does not pass new legislation anymore* and the electorate has spent the last decade plus going absolutely stir-crazy from that fact.

PLEASE WHY ARE ALL THE PHOTOS OF THE LOUVRE HEIST LIKE AN EPISODE OF PINK PANTHER.
1. You’re telling me the guy in the fedora with an umbrella that is clearly a sword DIDN’T do it?
2. The thieves used a truck with a ladder attached to it at 9.30AM in the morning and NO ONE noticed it??

Andrej Karpathy’s take on AI coding agents feels grounded. The industry’s chasing full autonomy when models still hallucinate too much.
Agents that churn out a thousand lines of code leave you either blindly trusting them or slogging through reviews. These tools should embrace their fallibility.

I'm not going to say that TRON: Ares was a good movie in the traditional sense. But you should go see it in the theaters, and think of it as a two hour, psychedelic Nine Inch Nails video. ★★★★☆

so much you can do in css using pseudo classes. used `:has` pseudo class to make the full hover animation here.
for hover state im doing `:has(*:is(.sidebar-icon-trigger:hover`
made only using css. no js listener used. took me longer than i thought it would.

I upgraded to MacOS Tahoe on my work machine yesterday. I’d say most of the new translucency effects look pretty bad and make the UI hard to read, but luckily I don’t use many stock Apple apps 🤷
