To reprise, what does Putin have on him?
This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.
Russia helps Iran track American forces.
And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.
Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

It goes without saying that this shouldn't be necessary. No web developer should have to guess who is on their side, and which vendors demand secrecy while holding the web back.
@open-web-advocacy.org's 2024 piece remains sadly relevant:

Just got word from @patrickbrosset.com that the Edge Top Developer Needs dashboard has been updated for 2026:
microsoftedge.github.io/TopDeveloper...
This follows from the launch of Interop '26, and plugs gaps the selection process leaves due to silent, unaccountable vetoes.
Words, what do they mean
Oh no, I can't believe all those slurs forced themselves into that defenseless group chat!
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Don't worry Dave, you're the smart one (because glasses).
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Gonna be saying "AI means read == execute" every day until an early grave, aren't I?
Extremely dumb question: is the major obstacle to a TPM (e.g.) hoovering up lots of these substacks just money? Feels like consolidation is inevitable one way or another.
The very existence of commercially available glasses with Internet-connected cameras sold by Meta, a company built entirely on hiding the costs of services in negative privacy externalities, is an indictment of U.S. tech law and policy. This is an unfixable product from a fundamentally bad company.
Every day Pete Hegseth confesses to war crimes in front of the whole world.
Good speech. Most US press got bamboozled by Bill Barr's scheme. Trump's collusion with Russia was always real, continues to be. www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...
Primary all Nazi collaborators.
From FT comments
C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.
Another member of the chat, William Bejerano — who tried to start a pro-life group at Miami Dade College — was the primary user of the n-word in the group. At one point, he posted a block of text calling for dozens of acts of extreme violence against Black people, who he referred to using the n-word, including crucifying, beheading and dissecting people. Bejerano hung up the phone when reached by the Herald.
![Dariel Gonzalez, the College Republicans’ recruitment chairman at the time, responded in the chat: “How edgy.” “Ew you had colored professors?!” Gonzalez wrote at another point. “I reguse [sic] to be indoctrinated by the coloreds.” He told the group he used the term “colored” because, “I was told we cant say black anymore.” A couple days later, he added: “Avoid the coloreds like the plague.” He did not respond to a request for comment. The group chat members — which included some women — also frequently discussed sex, sometimes describing women as “whores” and at one point using the k-word, a slur for Jewish people, to describe women they avoid.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiba3tsaelrqqyuqmrs2mxzan2vjomxpvm4gxnzutvyhv23d2qj4wu)

Fun fact, fox news once tried to sic a mob on me because I wrote that being hispanic didn’t mean you couldn’t be a white supremacist, because race is subjective and many hispanics identify as white. Completely unrelated here’s how some Miami Republicans talk in private
If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
A country that always finds money for bombs but won’t feed hungry children at home is spiritually broken.
Sorry boss, I can't work, I'm watching Kristi Noem do a press conference and she doesn't know she's been shitcanned
I don't think this is fair. They didn't go with James Comer, after all.
There's a lot of this that feels downstream of Zuck et. al.
The "consequences are for little people" vibe of the whole Expanded Thiel-Adjacent Cinematic Universe infected frontend in parallel and ruined that culture too, which dates it even earlier.
When the people who liked code and what that let them do for other people decided that they liked money even more...welp.
(And yes, CA/SV's f'd up housing situation is a big driver...but personal ethics have to count for something.)
It’s not enough.
The constitution's design does not grant the president a kinglike ability to take the country to war by himself, lest he do so for self-serving reasons. That is the entire purpose of dividing that authority between POTUS and Congress. Guess what just happened? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Your regular reminder than a large majority of voters - and overwhelming majority of Labour voters - favour giving settled migrants access to the welfare state after five years or less. The Home Secretary is not reforming rules in line with public opinion. She is doing the opposite.
