While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

I'm not surprised. Writing code plays a much smaller role in the overall software lifecycle than most people understand.

Among the first agencies President Donald Trump gutted after taking office for his second term was a Department of Homeland Security team that had repeatedly disproved his stolen election claims.

We’ve decided to make this story free for all readers, forever. We hope you’ll support this reporting by sharing it.

Instead of ending the constitution and murdering people, we could have high speed trains and universal health care.

No cheating, reskeet with the most recent photo of your pet.

Once more for the folks in the back: accessibility is a human right. Your web standards godfather shares thoughts on a small atrocity.

The devastation I feel about this attack on science in particular is hard to cope with. It’s like watching my dad die all over again. I would do anything to spare someone a death via pancreatic cancer.

🌧️ hey yeah it’s launch day. had a blast making this website with the inimitable @likethecolour.red, a Bluesky Account & in many ways a dear friend whose outlook on life inspires me deeply :) this is a project made with love for the web, friends, and reiselust. i'm excited to share it with you.

The Trump administration is ending the 50-year war on cancer. “It’s an absolutely unmitigated disaster. It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

A very good list of concerns a “boring” (we prefer experienced) developer might have. Very useful for people who aren’t developers to read too. daverupert.com/2025/08/got-...

Oh no, I have discovered that Slack has a character limit on who much you can write in a single message.

“I don’t have to say this is in the United States, because this is always in the United States.”

The one person in our world who needs to hear this will never read it, but you can. And you should. Every word! Hat tip: @andrewhinton.bsky.social

It has been wild to see what were always the two most paranoid pro-Second Amendment scenarios—the government snatching people away and sending occupying armies into communities—literally happen this year, to the delight of conservatives

This is profoundly bad. The data generated by NASA feeds research in many, MANY disciplines. I, for instance, am a historian, and my dissertation (now book project) uses satellite imagery as a major source for exploring the historical relationship between people and the environment.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

This news dropped the same day as this marvelous work from UF on a new immunotherapy method that could treat a variety of different cancers. We are so close to life changing, life saving breakthroughs, and ignorant ghouls are throwing it all away www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There are many, many aspects of the current administration that fill me with white hot rage, but as a child of two parents fighting cancer, everything they’ve done to interfere with progress in the fight against cancer is particularly personal for me.

www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/u... let’s pause to note that yesterday, as the administration slow-walks recovery from the Texas floods, they muster a small army to march through a park to scare LA. They succeeded only in clearing out kids at summer camp and a few people literally feeding the poor.

Today, *every* living prior leader of NASA's science directorate have released a joint letter condemning the proposed cuts to NASA science. These individuals every administration from Reagan to Biden, and all believe these cuts are insanely destructive: www.planetary.org/press-releas...

With the House bill now passed, I wanted to re-up two important stories: The bill benefits the rich, and inflicts deepest harm on the poorest Americans, data show www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/b... The deep federal aid cuts will not arrive immediately. A timeline: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/u...

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030. Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Funding cuts to USAID by the Trump administration could lead to more than 14 million additional deaths globally over the next five years, according to a new study.

The Supreme Court just severely limited the federal courts’ ability to fight the Trump regime, taking away their authority to issue universal injunctions that block illegal policies nationwide. This is an assault on the rule of law and proof all three branches of government are part of this regime.

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

In case you wondered why Trump can't afford to pay for disaster relief: they are diverting disaster relief money to fund concentration camps

It’s pretty far down the scale of human suffering, but man, I really wish that Google hadn’t bought Nest and it was still a functioning independent company.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Call your senators and demand they vote no. Nothing in this bill is popular. Nobody wants this

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!
