@fasterthanli.me is absolutely *cooking* with Tracey. I couldn't be more excited. Using this for a prototype IDL project for postcard, but it's so good I'd like to replace postcard's spec with one written in tracey (or really: just add annotations to the existing markdown+rs!)

Artemis II/Artemis program update press conference starting momentarily. I'll live post the highlights in this thread!

Fennel update 🥺

The counterfactual isn’t really worth considering since destruction is obviously baked into this administration, but it’s wild that had they instead left research alone they might have been able to claim they found ways to prevent forms of cancer, MS, and other horrible diseases.

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

“Everything We Do Matters.” Minneapolis’s Moon Palace Books is a Hub For Anti-ICE Resistance Angela Schwesnedl from Moon Palace Books in Minneapolis picked up my phone call on Saturday almost two hours to the minute after Alex Pretti was murdered in the street by ICE officers. “If you have…

thank you. thank you.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

ICE has detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis, despite a judge ordering the baby’s release.

Top two articles are about ICE abducting a 5 year old and a 2 year old.

Below that, news about a historically large protest and general strike.

Then articles detailing how ICE lies about their actions and how the White House makes/publishes fake images about the anti-ICE protests.

Future historian looking for an opening anecdote:

Today, Jan. 23, 2026, the people of Minnesota hold a general strike to protest the federal gov't's assault on their persons and rights.

Also today, someone (perhaps a billionaire) will pay ~$5,000,000 for a copy of the Declaration of Independence.

Ah yeah it is, no GUI editors that I’m aware of

I use Quarto —> RevealJS so I can write my slides in Markdown! So nice for version control.

Fraud which was committed during a Republican administration! I’m glad that the government threw money out the door during the early days of COVID. This was one of the known consequences. The next administration began aggressively prosecuting. The system worked.

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now

$75 billion would pay tuition for every college student in America for one year.

What are they even simulating here? It’s a spreadsheet, right? She’s talking about a spreadsheet where they sort the rows?

Great piece, particularly this passage:

Excerpt from Wikipedia reads: "Fight against merchandising his characters For years, Watterson battled against pressure from publishers to merchandise his work, something that he felt would cheapen his comic through compromising the act of creation or reading.[21][22] He refused to merchandise his creations on the grounds that displaying Calvin and Hobbes images on commercially sold mugs, stickers, and T-shirts would devalue the characters and their personalities. Watterson said that Universal kept putting pressure on him and that he had signed his contract without fully perusing it because, as a new artist, he was happy just to find a syndicate willing to give him a chance (two other syndicates had previously turned him down). He added that the contract was so one-sided that, if Universal really wanted to, they could license his characters against his will, and could even fire him and continue Calvin and Hobbes with a new artist. Watterson's position eventually won out, and he was able to renegotiate his contract so that he would receive all rights to his work. Later he said that the licensing fight exhausted him and contributed to the need for a nine-month sabbatical in 1991.[23]"

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

Sam Alito does not and has never known ball

" It was political hate that drove her family out of Missouri given Becca’s statement they were looking for a safer place to live.
It was hate that sent ICE to her neighborhood & it was hate that led that ICE agent to shoot her.
It is hate that is now justifying her murder."
This is the Kyriarchy.

Let’s get the second Reconstruction right.

Is the CDRT implementation open-source? Curious if you’re using the Zed folks’ codes?

The 250th should be fertile ground for ambitious national politicians to make their case. American scholars and journalists are making these comparisons really effectively. I wish electeds would run with this message.

“This is the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and from my vantage point this looks like a Boston Massacre, an event that can galvanize public opinion.”

@jamellebouie.net lays out what public officials, and ordinary people can do right now.”

I found out yesterday that I was awarded a 2026 artist grant from the Somerville Arts Council! I will use the funding to work on my short story collection, but I also plan on creating a community project. If anyone is in the #Boston area, what type of writing activity would you be interested in?
