Whose Airstrike Hit a Girls’ School in Iran? The U.S. Says It’s Still Investigating.

As someone who wrote for the Times, this is question is total bullshit, and they wouldn't have accepted it then.

The answer to this question is obviously the United States. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/u...

Some tools I built to be safer while using claude code:

ziplock (sandbox) - github.com/thejefflarso...

soundcheck (automatically invoked security reviews) - github.com/thejefflarso...

ClaudeMonitor (monitor your usage, focus the terminal waiting for input) - github.com/thejefflarso...

It's fun!

The Hunt for Dark Breakfast With a theoretical model of breakfast, can we derive the existence of “dark breakfasts,” breakfasts that we know must exist, but have never observed?

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

I’ve seen firsthand how an obsession with raw pageviews in commercial media can be destructive. But I’ve also seen the opposite: a willful resistance to audience data in nonprofit newsrooms. Pretending the information doesn’t exist doesn’t preserve purity or a “unique brand” of storytelling. It just pushes tradeoffs underground, where they’re harder to examine and easier to deny. Neither posture is serious.

Great point by @eads.bsky.social about audience data here (the whole thing is a must read): recoveredfactory.net/en/muscle-me...

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Going to Fennario, by the Mountain Goats track by the Mountain Goats

it should not surprise anybody who follows my work that I wrote a bunch more songs last year. (Peter Balkan was written in 2024.) Here's one we're releasing early in honor of Bob Weir. Enjoy -- we're donating proceeds to the American Cancer Society. themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/track/going-...
