Default platform rankings cost people leagues every year. I built a tool to fix that: Fantasy Ranks pulls in rankings directly from whichever person you trust. Also, compare your roster to your ROS rankings of choice. Open-source and ready for feedback github.com/mrbusche/fan... #FantasyFootball

Managing GitHub Action matrices is great until you have to update required status checks for every new version. I solved this with a 10-line "all-checks-passed" job that dynamically validates the matrix. No more manual updates! mrbusche.com/2026/02/27/g...
I built a lightweight Bluesky PWA! It’s a simple client designed to fix one big annoyance: losing your scroll position. It’s built with Svelte and is fully open-source. Try it here: bluesky-pwa.netlify.app GitHub: github.com/mrbusche/blu... Feedback and contributions are welcome!

This is a great read about writing an HTML5 spec compliant parser in Python and a fascinating follow up by Simon converting the library to JavaScript for "free" simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/15/...
JustHTML by @emilstenstrom.bsky.social is a new Python library (no dependencies) that parses HTML according to the HTML5 specification and passes the 9,200 test html5lib-tests suite It's 3,000 lines of code mostly written by coding agents over a couple of months simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/14/...
@legendaryupside.bsky.social @patkerrane.bsky.social Don't know the best place to mention this but the walk through hasn't posted to the premium feed. You mentioned in the pod with Reebs it's done (otherwise I'd still be patiently waiting 😂)

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.
It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”
Nunn is so committed to Iowa District 3 he didn't show up to the Ankeny Summerfest parade which is almost 10% of his district population
#IA03's Zach Nunn got his marching orders: "Just spoke to Great Combat Veteran Zach Nunn, and he is committed to the mission of, HOLDING THE MAJORITY," Trump posted to his Truth Social website. "He is a team player, with a tremendous future — And 100% MAGA." www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This is pretty sick. In JDK 25, the String::hashCode function in Java is improved to be mostly constant foldable, meaning the compiler can pre-compute the hash code at compile time when possible. inside.java/2025/05/01/s...
@lateroundqb.bsky.social "two is not a winner and three nobody remembers" I generally take this approach but I'd never heard it phrased in Nelly lyrics before, thanks for that.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

A swing voter is not a centrist. It's like, a guy who loves guns but has a gay sister, loves weed but hates food stamps because his cousin who owes him 50 bucks gets them. (Also, Osama was Iraqi.) You don't win that guy with a carefully crafted platform, you do it by not seeming fucking lame
I really feel like more people need to constructively engage with this! You can think the moderation/centrism discourse is often braindead (as I do!) but the center left really needs a pretty robust convo about what winning, say, an Iowa or Kansas or Texas or Ohio senate seat would look like.

Sometimes I think about a poll during the 2016 election that ranked “corruption” as the top concern of voters. This was because this was a word Fox News used frequently with Hillary Clinton. That word has mysteriously disappeared from the vocabulary of the American press this year.

Breaking News: President Trump plans to accept a luxury Boeing 747 from Qatar that he will use as Air Force One and will keep using after he leaves office. The plan — involving possibly the biggest foreign gift ever received by the U.S. government — raises substantial ethical issues.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

Let's be clear that this thing Trump just said about having no trade deficits with any country would be far more radical, more disruptive, and more expensive, than every single leftist dream you have ever heard put together, including Medicare for All, Guaranteed Housing, and Universal Basic Income.
BREAKING: Trump says he's not intentionally fueling a market selloff, but gave no sign he'll claw back tariffs that wiped trillions of dollars from US equities.
