Such a long, long time to be gone
And a short time to be there
RIP Bob Weir www.jambase.com/article/bob-...

Hey, New Yorkers. I called @newyorkstateag.bsky.social and asked her to prosecute X and put them out of business for facilitating the manufacture and distribution of CSAM and non-consensual pornography. A very nice person actually answered the phone! Please call if you feel similarly! (518) 776-2000

The number one thing I've been hearing from people in tech lately is, basically, "How the hell am I supposed to work in this industry anymore?" Though most folks are kind of afraid to say it out loud. So I wrote about how to think about it: www.anildash.com/2026/01/05/a...

1 year in and congestion pricing is a massive success. Fewer cars on the streets, way faster commutes, and more money for public transportation.
It’s proof positive that good, smart policy actually can make our lives better — and a huge win for New Yorkers.

AOC and Mamdani not backing a primary challenge to Jeffries is fine, actually.
It’s transactional, sure. But Jeffries did ultimately come around and endorse.
IMHO throwing a primary challenge at him now sends a message: Even if you do come around, we may still come after you.

Addendum:
The reason I think Mamdani did well is that he achieved what he needed (a non-hostile Trump) without compromising on principle.
And I think that should be the model across the board: Pragmatic but principled.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Curmudgeonly compaint to ignore: Even as I recognize its necessity, I don't like "we're going to win" rhetoric. I think it implies "norms" can be restored, that there'll come a day when this is "over"--vs. a long struggle in which there're victories but no final victory, because this isn't a movie.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
