New Yorker cartoon. A man and a woman are standing in front of a television set. The woman has a remote in her hand. She says: want to watch coverage of the politicians encouraging fascism or the politicians doing absolutely nothing to stop it?

A screenshot of an app i've built to upload images to a cloudflare r2 bucket.

Was previously using Imgur for images for my blog because I didn't want image files in my git repo. But now it's banned in the UK πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

"Vibe coded" a nice little Laravel app that I might wrap up using @nativephp.com as a desktop app - it just uploads the images to Cloudflare R2 and shows the MD code

Depressing that I log into twitter to delete my account and immediately see a massive Laravel presence there compared to here. People supporting CSAM and fascist billionaires because they don’t wanna lose their payouts or reach statistics.

Pluribus on Apple TV is such a great show - infuriatingly difficult to recommend though since it's so easy to spoil the experience if you share too many details

Just watch it, it's great!

Pro tip for programmers: don't shower at the start of your day.

Instead, wait until you're absolutely stuck on a problem. THAT's when you shower - instant presto solution!

(Note: do not implement this if you work from an office)

Laravel Mix was step one. Vite is step two. Step three is you realizing you’re a front-end dev now. Laravel 13 will silently replace artisan with npm run dev. You’ll thank it later.
