The problem in America isn’t that Joe Biden is old. It is that a former president who plotted to kill the next two people in the constitutional line of succession is not being challenged as he attempts to return to the White House. But sure, let’s keep pretending that Joe Biden’s age is what really matters, and ignore the lying insurrectionist running the Republican Party. — Jason Easley, Managing Editor, PoliticusUSA

The ISO 7 layer model as actually encountered:
1. Radio transmitters with buggy firmware.
2. Things pretending to be ethernet.
3. Networks broken by NAT.
4. HTTP.
5. Other protocols layered over HTTP.
6. Reliable connections implemented using other protocols layered over HTTP.
7. (Soon) HTTP over HTTP.

The #NYPD Commissioner Responded to Our Story That Revealed He’s Burying #Police Brutality Cases.
We Fact-Check Him.
==In his 5-page statement, Commissioner Edward Caban identified no inaccuracies in ProPublica's investigation but instead argued the story was unfair and that he’s “in compliance” with the guidelines.
Our reporting shows otherwise.

‘Justice Alito … [j]oined by Justice Clarence Thomas and in part by Justice Neil Gorsuch… wrote, “Shortly before Idaho’s law took effect, President Biden instructed members of his administration to find ways to limit Dobbs’s reach.” That is a jarring and highly politicized observation to find in a judicial opinion. His 25-page dissent gives every evidence of having been drafted as a majority opinion, an opinion that failed.’

“These are not just threats,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley said about extremist plans under the authoritarian Project 2025 agenda. “They are promises.”
“The same megadonors who have created this blueprint are the same people who have been purchasing lavish gifts for Alito and Thomas, seeking to influence the court. And they want more justices like them seated.”

Here's a thing I'd never thought of before about #bash aliases: you don't actually have to put a command in one! I've just found it useful to do this:
alias otherenv=SOME_ENV_VARIABLE=non-default-value
so that the command
otherenv program arg1 arg2...
expands to
SOME_ENV_VARIABLE=non-default-value program arg1 arg2...
and runs the program with the environment variable changed.(The alias is easier to remember than the actual environment setting, and better still, can be tab-completed.)

Working on a blog post and reflecting on the way JS influencers have existed in an accountability-free zone for nearly a decade.
If someone is "just trying to educate", and "filling a market niche" but aren't providing fundamentals like semantic HTML, markup-first development, and progressive enhancement, they are actively harmful.
This covers a huge swath of today's JS thinkfluencers. Mute/ignore them.

The far right have been so successful at shifting the Overton window that they've managed to transform "Biden isn't up for the job" from an obvious far-right propaganda attack to a mainstream talking point, even among Democrats.
They've managed to make millions of people forget *their* fascist, aging, obviously demented, lying criminal of a candidate, over one bad debate performance.
We're letting the opponent call our plays for us.
That can't possibly help anyone but them.
