I wonder how many people subconsciously read Times New Roman as "this website is broken", just due to it being the default font in almost all web browsers. Especially now that it's no longer one of only about 5 fonts web designers could rely on being renderable for any visitor, the way it used to be

Folks, Zohran Mamdani—smart guy, reminds me of a young me—you know what he said, I told him, “Zohran, I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna say the shahada,” and he said to me “Mr. President, you should say a third line confirming your belief in the wilayat of Ali,” should we do it folks? Should we say it?

we must leverage the tradition of thanking goodness it’s friday to overthrow friday entirely
to declare “TGIF” is a boisterous exaltation of solidarity with my fellow workers, yet at the same time it remains a reification of the workweek, legitimizing the power of capital to structure the very timespace of our lives

1/3 Great technique for understanding a legacy Rails app...
Write a system test around the part of the app you're interested in. Add `Rails.logger.debug` statements to the top of every controller and model callback. Delete `log/test.log` and run the system test.

This is really blithely, cluelessly saying out loud what the subtext of all this genocide denial says. "Your empathy for the people who look like Holocaust victims is mistaken"
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

About to redesign the machine bed in this final stretch of my big year-plus-long CNC refurbish, and trying to figure out what I can do with t-track and dog holes that I can't do with just a grid of threaded inserts

It's hard to imagine there is not a growing motivation within the web engineering community writ large to cut back dependence on Cloudflare, which would be a good movement on many fronts imo
I would like to thank the combined efforts of Cloudflare, AWS, and Heroku, for this monthly schedule of global infrastructure outages, which is really going to help me sell the case for Elixir on my current project

the sooner people internalize this about the dems, stop projecting their fantasies on the party, and start demanding more, the better off we’ll all be.
they spent 4 years studiously avoiding confrontations with the supreme court because they have no interest in court reform. they’re quiet about ICE because they do not want to a single thing about it when they have power. it’s a shitty reality to confront but it is the reality.

Congressional republicans have been spewing racist attacks on Mamdani for weeks and it’s almost never mentioned in our media. Not only that, the person leading the hate campaign—Randy Fine—is treated by the same media as a good faith expert on antisemitism. I wrote about this obscene double standard
Why is Mainstream Media Ignoring Overtly Racist Attacks on Mamdani from Congressional Republicans?
Non-stop Islamopbohic vitriol, threats of deportation, and virtually no coverage from CNN, NBC, CBS, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal or The Washington Post.
